Chapter 972
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
However, Madeline broke down after Jeremy did that. âJeremy, what are you doing? Let go of me! I want this woman to atone for her crimes against my parents!â
She struggled, and all of a sudden, the man pulled her domineeringly into his arms. âLinnie, donât do this. I know youâre sad that Mom and Dad are gone, but this has nothing to do with Miss Johnson.â
What?
Madeline was taken aback. She looked at the man who was calling her âLinnieâ in such a gentle voice in front of her, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.
However, Jeremy continued and held her closely, âLinnie, youâre extremely unstable now. Iâll take you home so that you can rest.â
Lana and Naomi were suspicious when they saw Jeremy behaving this way.
Had his memories come back?
No.
That was impossible.
Lana then noticed Jeremy looking at her. âMiss Johnson, Iâm so sorry. My wife only became so unstable because of the death of my in-laws. I hope you can forgive her for what she did just now.â
Lana wanted to end this as well. After all, she was in such a wretched state just now and could not even lift her head because of Madeline.
She understood what Jeremy was doing and thought that this man was helping her. As such, she smiled. âI sympathize with Mrs. Whitmanâs bitter experience. I think sheâs been through too much. Mr.
Whitman, I wonât look into this for your sake,â Lana said magnanimously. After she said that, she even smirked victoriously at Madeline before leaving.
However, Madeline understood that this manâs memories had not returned. He was still siding with that deranged woman. It was clear that he was helping Lana!
âLana Johnson, stop right there!â Madeline pushed Jeremy away to stop Lana.
However, before she could go far, Jeremy pulled her back. His eyes looked grim. âLinnie, donât.â
Madeline sobbed and glared at the man who was pretending to be kind. At this moment, she completely broke down. âDo you know what youâre doing? When will you wake up? Jeremy, why did you become like this? I hate you! I hateâ¦â
Before she could finish, she lost consciousness and passed out after closing her eyes.
Jeremy pulled her into his arms. While he was looking at her pale face, he furrowed his brows.
Ryan watched Madeline at one side with his brows also tightly furrowed. When he saw Jeremy carrying Madeline into the car, he stood there for a while before making a callâ¦
Madeline was out for a very long time. When she woke up, she realized she was in the back seat of a car.
She sat up abruptly, and when she looked out the window, she was shocked.
The ocean was as far as the eye could see and there was soft white sand out there too. This was the beach in April Hill, the place that brought her the most happiness.
However, how did she end up here?
She got out of the car and spotted the man smoking next to it.
Jeremy noticed her and turned to look at her lifelessly. âYouâre awake.â
When she remembered what happened before she passed out, she charged over to hit Jeremy.
However, when she lifted her hand, the man grabbed her wrist.
He tightened his grip and pulled her into his arms to lock her in place.
âEveline, is this how you treat your savior?â he asked in a deep voice. His charming and alluring voice glided into Madelineâs ears mischievously.
He could still feel the remaining fear in his heart when he recalled Lana pulling out her gun.
However, Madeline peered at him and snorted. âSavior? Youâre only saving Lana. Sheâs the woman you love the most!â
He frowned when he heard that. His warm fingertips caressed Madelineâs emotionless face. âArenât you the woman I love the most?â
