Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398

In that moment of unease, Madeline stepped forward and took the phone from Jeremy’s hand.

“I’m Jeremy Whitman’s wife as well as the daughter of the woman you kidnapped. I’ll bring the money if that’s what you wish. As long as you promise my mother’s safety, I’ll gladly bring you the money!”

The man immediately agreed, not expecting Madeline to be so quick to agree. “What a straightforward personality you have, Mrs. Whitman. It’s only right that I stick to my word as well. All I want is to be repaid for taking care of your mother, nothing more. Pay me and you shall have your mother back. I’ll be waiting!”

The man then hung up the call. Just then, Jeremy received a call from the bank telling him that the money had been prepared.

Madeline got ready to take a trip to the bank for the money. She would then go to retrieve Eloise. However, Jeremy was reluctant to let her go just like that.

“You can’t go by yourself, Linnie.” Worry filled the man’s expression as he refused to let go.

Madeline understood what Jeremy was feeling and turned to smile at the man. “I’ll take good care of myself, Jeremy. I also know that you won’t leave me all alone there, would you?”

Jeremy immediately understood what Madeline meant. He was fully aware that he would not be able to stop Madeline, but that did not mean he would let her face danger all alone. Jeremy would certainly find a way to watch over her from the shadows.

Jeremy finally loosened his hold only for Sean to take his place holding her back. Sean’s heart raced frantically. “Must you go personally, Eveline? I’m really worried about you. I’m worried about your mother too.”

Madeline gave a reassuring smile. “Jeremy will protect me. I’ll come home with Mom.”

Sean let go of Madeline reluctantly for she was their only option now.

Karen walked over to remind her kindly. “Be careful. Come home for dinner, alright? We’ll be waiting.”

“Yeah.” Madeline acknowledged. “I can’t wait to drink your soup!”

Karen let out a sigh of relief, having never expected to one day live so peacefully with Madeline. Here she was, regretting not treating her daughter-in-law better back then.

The sky had already started to grow dark.

Madeline took the money and made her way to the address of the transaction.
