Chapter 914
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Ken helplessly looked at Jeremy who had lost consciousness. He could only try his best to live up to Jeremyâs entrustment and carried Lillian and Jackson onto the life raft first, then he returned to the yacht to look for Madeline.
However, Madeline was hugging Jeremy and did not want to let go. Ken had no choice but to forcefully pull Madeline away.
âDonât pull me! If you guys want to go, just go! I must accompany him!â Madeline roared in a broken voice, not wanting to let go.
âMadam, have you forgotten about Young Lady Lillian and Young Master Jack?â Ken persuaded, saying, âThey canât lose both their father and mother.â
Madeline was stupefied, as if just remembering the two children.
âHurry up, the yacht is really about to explode. You must live well and avenge Mr. Whitman.â
Avenge.
Madeline looked at Jeremy who was lifeless with tearful eyes. She bowed her head and kissed him deeply.
âJeremy, I love you too, you hear me?â
She had no other choice but to abandon him in the yacht cabin, get onto the life raft, and gradually move away from the yacht that was burning in the middle of the sea.
Not long after, the yacht exploded. The violent shock seemed to hit Madelineâs heart. It was so painful that nothing could possibly hurt more.
âJeremy!â
She yelled his name heartbrokenly while facing the yacht that had exploded into pieces. In the next second, she lost her consciousness and faintedâ¦
The ocean waves, the beach, and the young man.
Madeline ran barefoot toward the boy who was standing on the shore and smiling gently at her. As she ran though, he suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes.
âJez!â
She shouted toward the endless sea, but only the sound of the ocean waves responded to her.
âJeremy, Jeremy!â
Madeline suddenly opened her eyes and saw two pairs of pure, beautiful eyes staring at her.
âMommy, time to wake up.â Lilyâs pleasant voice followed.
âMommy, are you alright?â Jackson asked with concern.
Madeline looked at the two cute little faces and remembered what happened before she fainted. Her eyes suddenly became panicked.
âJeremyâ¦â
She sat up and was about to get off the bed when Eloise walked over with a worried expression.
âEveline, you woke up! Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you are, weâll go to the hospital right away.â
Madeline shook her head and gripped Eloiseâs hand tightly. âMom, whereâs Jeremy? Where is he? Did you find him?â
Looking at Madelineâs pressing gaze, Eloiseâs eyes reddened in distress. âEveline, youâre pregnant, so you have to think more about your own body.â
âI want to know where Jeremy is. Is he reallyâ¦â
Madeline did not have the courage to ask further, but the image of Jeremy dying in a pool of blood was in her mind.
The pain of a thousand arrows piercing her heart spread all over her body.
âEveline Montgomery, come out! Come out!â A loud voice suddenly came from downstairs.
Madeline went downstairs and saw Karen rushing toward her in anger, glaring at her with red eyes.
âEveline, you bearer of ill luck! Ever since Jeremy married you back then, the Whitman family has never had a peaceful life! I knew that you remarried Jeremy for revenge, but I didnât expect you to be so cruel that you would actually kill Jeremy this way!â
Faced with Karenâs reprimanding and verbal abuse, Madeline felt wronged and even more indignant.
However, she did not want to get angry in front of her children.
Eloise cared about her daughter, so she defended her righteously. âKaren, what nonsense are you saying? My daughter has been with your son for so many years, but when has she ever lived a happy day? Itâs obviously you people from the Whitman family who have been hurting my daughter all this while. Jeremyâs death was an accident, so why are you putting the blame on my daughter?â
From the twoâs quarrel, Madelineâs ears only caught that one sentenceâJeremyâs death was an accident.
She blacked out for a moment.
He was dead.
