Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 23

“Heh.”

Jeremy scoffed lightly. He looked down at Madeline coldly with his dark eyes.

“Madeline, I underestimated you. You even managed to bribe the doctors here to make them lie to me about your pregnancy. Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’d be fooled so easily?”

Madeline lifted her head and sobbed sadly. “No! I haven’t lied to you, Jeremy! Why would I lie to you about something like that? I really am pregnant! Jeremy, you don’t believe me? Touch my stomach. The child really is here…”

Madeline stood up with all her might and grabbed Jeremy’s hand. She wanted him to believe her. She wanted him to feel the life that was already forming in her stomach.

However, Jeremy pushed away her hand.

“Get lost! Don’t touch me with your filthy hand!” Jeremy’s eyes were as sharp as knives. “You’re not pregnant. However, even if you really are, I’ll abort it because you do not deserve it! Madeline, a woman like you will never have the chance to have anything to do with me!”

“Jeremy!” When Madeline saw that Jeremy was about to leave, she chased after him while stumbling. She grabbed his arm. “Jeremy, don’t go. You told me you’d protect me forever! I am Linnie. Have you forgotten? Jeremy…”

Madeline begged for him to stay, but what she said triggered him. Almost instantly, she felt an intense aura of death. The next second, she was pushed to the ground by Jeremy. Consequently, Madeline clutched her stomach in pain. She could see the man’s terrifying gaze through her tears. “Madeline, you deserve to die.”

“Jeremy…” Cold sweat started to appear on Madeline’s body due to the pain. However, Jeremy left after he said those hurtful words. He was not concerned about her wellbeing at all.

Madeline got up from the ground and smiled bitterly. Her eyes were filled with tears.

‘Jez, you’re no longer the boy Linnie once knew…’

Throughout the next few days, Jeremy did not show up. There was no word of concern at all. It was as if he had forgotten about her.
