Chapter 1352
The colleague who was waiting outside the operating theatre informed him of the latest situation. “The bullet hit him pretty close to the heart and he has lost a lot of blood. I’m afraid the situation is not looking too optimistic.”
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the words. “Why did you shoot him? I was confident that I could make Ryan let my wife go.”
“The police saw that your wife and Ryan seemed to be in a dispute and Ryan looked as if he wanted to forcibly take your wife away. In order to ensure the safety of the hostage and also since Ryan was a wanted criminal, they opened fire.”
Jeremy did not say anything anymore after knowing this.
In fact, he had already thought about it at the time. He was ready to explain to Ryan about the grievances from the previous generations. When that happened, Ryan would naturally release Madeline.
However, he did not expect the police to fire.
Ryan was still in the emergency room and his chance of survival was slim.
Jeremy’s gaze landed on the woman who was asleep on the bed and his eyes softened.
‘Linnie, you must’ve been so frightened at the time.
‘A living person just collapsed in front of you like that.
‘It must’ve been triggering.’
Jeremy stayed by Madeline’s side for a while when suddenly, he saw Sean walking to the door of the room. He called out to him softly, “Let Eveline rest. Jeremy, come out for a bit.”
After Jeremy put the blanket on Madeline, he walked out of the room quietly.
Sean asked straightforwardly, “Is Eveline really okay? Has Ryan been caught?”
Recalling the scene not long ago, Jeremy frankly told him, “Ryan wanted to take Eveline away forcibly. The police were worried about Eveline’s safety, so they shot Ryan. It’s currently unsure whether he’ll make it or not. He’s being rescued in the hospital now.”
Sean was surprised, but he was more concerned about Madeline’s situation. “Could it be that Eveline fainted because she saw Ryan getting shot in front of her?”
