Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 1335

Ryan raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes, with vision blurry due to his injury, looked particularly bleak.

"Is it alright for you to come after me and leave Eveline alone in the car?" Ryan's smile got a little sinister.

Once he finished speaking, Ryan noticed that Jeremy's finger on the trigger had loosened.

Jeremy felt butterflies in his stomach when he thought of Madeline who was left alone in the car before he came to catch Ryan.

He looked at Ryan who was smiling insidiously and immediately turned around to sprint back to the spot before.

'Linnie!' Jeremy shouted Madeline's name in his head.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that Madeline was in danger again.

He realized that he had been careless. He should not have left Madeline alone in the car.

'She's not in a good state of mind. How could I just leave her and go after Ryan?

'Linnie!'

Jeremy felt tormented. He quickly sprinted in the direction of the car.

It was a short distance away, but Jeremy felt that the road had somehow lengthened.

With the car just around the corner, Jeremy strode over to the passenger door.

"Linnie!" he shouted nervously, peering through the car window, but there was nothing as far as his eyes could see.

'My Linnie's gone!'

Jeremy almost instantly felt cold, and even his breath froze for a second.

"Ryan!"

He turned quickly and sped to where Ryan was.

Jeremy did not expect Ryan to have help!

'No.

'I have no one to blame. It's my fault.

'I was negligent.

'I said I'd never lose her again, but now...'

Jeremy blamed himself and returned to the spot where he and Ryan confronted each other earlier, only to find a pool of blood with Ryan nowhere in sight.

Jeremy's hands were cold, and he looked out at the empty entrance of the alley. Everything before his eyes went black.

"Linnie..."

"I'm here."

A soft response rang behind his ears.

Everything that had been gloomy and grey before Jeremy seemed to restore its color in an instant. He instantly turned around to look behind him, and he caught sight of Madeline's soft, beautiful face. She was wearing a plain white dress, and her long bob waved slightly in the wind. She appeared before him, as clean and dreamy as a painting.

Jeremy could not stop his eyes from warming up. He ran up to Madeline and wrapped his arms around her.

"Linnie." Embracing her warm body, Jeremy felt truly at ease.

"I thought I had lost you again, Linnie."

He held her tightly, his trembling palms pressed against the back of her head. He feared that she would disappear again.

Madeline opened her beautiful eyes as if she did not understand why Jeremy was reacting so strongly.

However, no matter what, it was reassuring to have Jeremy hold her like this.

Jeremy kissed the top of Madeline's head over and over again, still reeling from shock.

He figured it out now. Ryan lied to him to escape. He used Madeline's safety to trick him.
