Chapter 912
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Hearing Jeremyâs confession, Madeline went into a daze for a bit.
She had clearly seen him and Lana that timeâ¦
âLinnie, for your own safety, I want to send you to the island we went to before to raise the baby. Iâll bring Jack and Lillian over to accompany you so that you wonât be alone.â
Jeremy had made such a decision.
Before Madeline could object, he arranged everything and forcibly took Madeline onto his private yacht the very next day.
Madeline resisted and wanted to get off the yacht but was carried into the room in the yacht by Jeremy.
He did not let her go until the yacht sailed out to the sea.
Madeline glanced at the blue ocean outside of the window. âJeremy, are you sending me to a remote island so that you can date Lana as you like?â
Jeremy did not explain and allowed Madeline to misunderstand him. He only said patiently, âLinnie, no matter what you think, you only have to remember that I wonât do anything that would harm you.â
âIs it for my own good that youâre not letting me take the medicine I should be taking?â
âYes, itâs for your own good.â Just as Jeremyâs voice fell, the cry of the two little buns came from the deck.
âWow, so pwetty!â Lily looked at the blue ocean and sighed. âBrother, quickly call Mommy and Handsome Mister to come and see.â
Madeline also heard Lilyâs voice. Jeremy took her hand and they walked out in the next second.
The sea breeze whizzed softly in their ears. The sea rippled in the place where the yacht passed.
Jeremy called Ken over and made him take a family portrait of them.
Madeline also smiled at the camera for the sake of the two children.
The warm scene of this family fell into a pair of binoculars at a distance.
Lana took a smoke, her gaze looking fierce. âGet rid of her.â
The sniper beside her obediently fired a shot at the target.
Jeremy was looking at Madeline who was playing with the two children when he sensed something strange.
He raised his gaze and looked back, his expression suddenly changing.
Before he could explain and warn Madeline, he sprinted toward her and hugged her tightly from behind.
Madeline did not know why Jeremy was suddenly hugging her, but she heard him make a muffled groan by her ear.
She turned her head in confusion and saw Jeremyâs eyebrows furrowed, but he was still looking at her with a gentle gaze.
âWhatâs up with you?â Madeline looked at him curiously when she caught sight of a big red patch on Jeremyâs back.
Madeline got up suddenly, her face stricken with panic. âJeremy, whatâs wrong?!â
Lana saw this scene through the binoculars. She ordered again in dissatisfaction, âGo on, until she gets hit.â
The sniper obeyed and fired again.
Jeremy sensed the danger and used his body to block a bullet for Madeline once more.
Jeremy was shot in the leg, and Madelineâs eyes were stained with fresh blood.
âJeremy!â she exclaimed.
Jackson hurriedly raised his hands to cover Lillianâs eyes while comforting gently. âDonât be afraid, donât be afraid.â
Jeremy hugged Madelineâs shoulder in pain and returned to the room.
Ken immediately sped up the yacht after he noticed something unusual.
However, more and more bullets hit the yacht. Soon, the yacht began smoking and leaking oil, showing signs of an impending explosion.
Ken quickly reported to Jeremy, âMr. Whitman, the yacht is about to blow up.â
Jeremyâs gaze darkened. Although the loss of blood had made his breathing weaker and weaker, his tone was still strong and domineering. âTake Linnie and the two kids onto a life raft. Quick!â
However, Madeline turned a deaf ear to his words. She took a small medical box and ran to Jeremyâs side to treat his wound.
âLinnie, quickly take the kids and go!â Jeremy pushed her away with great effort, but his gaze was full of reluctance. âGo, Linnie. As long as youâre safe, Iâll feel at ease.â
âIâll never go! Donât tell me what to do, Jeremy!â Madeline shouted in a whisper at the man in tears. She turned her head and yelled at Ken, âTake Jack and Lillian right away! Go!â
