Chapter 842

Madeline’s cheek turned hotter. When she was about to say something, she heard the sound of footsteps from the entrance of the alley.

Jeremy looked up vigilantly and held Madeline’s hand again. His fingers were intertwined with hers as he turned around quickly.

“Over here!” Suddenly, someone yelled from behind them.

Madeline let go of Jeremy’s hand. “Go. They won’t do anything to me. However, Felipe will never forgive you if you’re caught.”

“I won’t let you go back to Felipe!” Jeremy’s determination was unwavering.

“Jeremy! I love you! I love you, okay? Go back to Glendale now!” Madeline yelled at him.

However, Jeremy did not think that Madeline was telling the truth. On the other hand, she sounded like she was trying to muddle through this and chase him away.

His expression turned darker and he grabbed Madeline’s hand tighter. Then, he quickly called a cab before going back to the hotel they had stayed in last night.

After Madeline got out of the car, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen. It felt like there was a weight on her. This pain felt familiar too.

Jeremy saw the changes on Madeline’s face and knew he could not delay this anymore.

When Madeline was not paying attention, he booked an appointment for her to abort the child. Then, he packed his things to move to another location. However, this time, he wanted to move to the city with the most hustle and bustle.

He did not believe that Felipe’s power was so big that he was able to do something illegal so brazenly.

If Felipe had the courage to do it, then he would not be so worried about getting rid of Jeremy so quickly.

The next day, Jeremy brought Madeline to the hospital again by using a follow-up check-up as an excuse.

Madeline was guided onto the operating table while having no idea what was going on. She looked around her and found the whole thing to be strange. “Isn’t this just a check-up? Why am I in the operating theatre?”

The doctor thought Madeline was pretending to be shy when she asked this. “Lay back down and stop wasting our time.”

“What check-up is this?” Madeline sat up as she sensed that something was wrong.

The doctor peered at Madeline in agitation. “This isn’t a check-up. It’s an abortion.”

“What?”

Madeline’s brain was buzzing. She got off the table and walked toward the door with a heavy look on her face.

The doctor and nurses stopped her quickly. “What’s wrong with you? Stop her.”

Madeline was stopped. “What are you doing? When did I consent to this?”

“What are you screaming about? You signed the papers and now you’re saying you don’t want this?

Are you here to cause trouble?” the doctor asked in anger.

Madeline remembered Jeremy asking her to sign something before the check-up and also what he had previously said to her.

“Abort the child in your stomach and leave Felipe.

“When are you going to abort the child?”

When she realized that the decision to have an abortion was made by Jeremy, her face went white as her heart started aching.

“Jeremy, you’re so cruel. How could you?”

The doctor and nurses pressed her down to the table when they saw her spacing out.

Madeline pushed them away with all her might. “Don’t you dare touch my child! Get lost!”

“Are you insane? You signed the papers, and your boyfriend’s waiting for you out there. You’re saying you don’t want it now?”

“Boyfriend?” Madeline snorted and rushed out of the operating theatre. Indeed, Jeremy was waiting for her out there.

When he saw Madeline rushing out with her eyes bright red, he was shocked. He knew she had not gone through with the surgery.

“Linnie, you—”

“Jeremy, is this the reason why you’ve been so intimate with me these past few days? Even if you think that this child belongs to Felipe, it’s still a life! How can you act on your own initiative and kill my child?”

Jeremy frowned. “I did this for your own good.”

“Heh. For my own good?” Tears fell from Madeline’s eyes. “Let me tell you, Jeremy Whitman, the child in my stomach belongs to you. It’s your flesh and blood. Do you still want to kill it now?”
