Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 1311

Jeremy felt his body grow cold at Madeline's words.

He watched through the swaying camera as Madeline harshly pressed the sharp end of the clip against her wrist.

The clip was hardly a lethal weapon, but Madeline was using all her strength.

A red line quickly marred her left wrist as bright red began to trickle out of the wound frightfully.

"Linnie!"

Jeremy yelled heart-wrenchingly as the pain of having his skin peeled alive spread to every inch of his body.

He knew that Madeline must have been tortured to the point of hopelessness or she would never do such a thing.

Ryan was taken aback by Madeline's actions. He stared dazedly at Madeline as the woman faltered. His heart ached, but at the same time, anger bled into his eyes.

"Why? Am I so incomparable to Jeremy?"

Like a ragdoll, Madeline looked pitiful with her messy hair and clothes. However, her eyes were still clear and untainted.

"You'll never compare to him." A light smile graced Madeline's lips as she spoke weakly, "He's the only man I'll ever love and want to protect."

Jeremy could not stop the tears from falling from his eyes.

The camera was moving too much for him to see Madeline's face, but he heard her every word.

He was about to speak when he heard Madeline's soft voice again.

"I know that you must be upset, Jeremy, but you have to remember that I belong to you and only you-heart, soul, and all. Do everything you can to catch Ryan, this madman, and bring my body home. Even in death, my soul is yours."

Jeremy's eyes reddened as he choked.

Through his blurry tears, he saw Madeline's bloodied palm falling and landing on a large pool of blood. His mind blanked at the sight. "Linnie. Linnie..."

"Ryan! Send Linnie to the hospital now! What are you going to use to threaten me if she dies, huh?

"Do you hear me, Ryan?!"

Jeremy's roar rang out from the screen.

He was going mad.

He really was!

There was nothing he could do even as he watched Madeline being forced to the edge.

"Linnie!"

He yelled, but there was no reply from her. Ryan seemed to have gone blank at Madeline's actions and the camera stayed at the same stagnant angle. Just then, someone pushed the room door open.

Jeremy heard rushed footsteps, followed by Adam's figure appearing in the camera.

"How the hell did this happen?" Adam's tone was solemn.

He seemed to have come prepared. Jeremy watched Adam walking over with his medical kit before he squatted down to quickly administer first aid on Madeline.

There was no doubt that Adam was a professional in this field. Jeremy felt the fear in his chest placate to some degree.

While in a frantic state of mind, he watched Adam sanitize her wound and stop the bleeding before he dressed it.

He reached out to the kit to take something when Ryan finally broke out of his stupor and spoke.

"Bring the syringe and needle as well." Ryan threw the reagent bottle that he had planned to inject into Madeline himself to Adam.

"What's that, Ryan? What are you injecting into Linnie?" Jeremy questioned furiously at the scene, terrified that Ryan was injecting the slow-acting poison into her. Ryan merely replied with a sinister sneer.
