Chapter 1644
She conversed with the police officer who brought her in for a moment. Then, she turned around, smiling gently at Madeline. “I’ve bailed you out. You can leave this place for now, but you can’t leave the St. Piaf borders for the time being.”
Madeline did not forget that, as she was informed earlier, she could not bail out, yet she was now released from custody.
After coming out of the police station, Madeline was still hardly convinced that this was real.
Aside from words of gratitude, she did not know what else to say.
After accepting Madeline’s gratitude, Camille handed over her phone to Madeline. “You can call your husband and ask him to pick you up. However, the two of you should stay in St. Piaf for the time being.”
Madeline took over the phone, thanked Camille, and gave her agreement.
Jeremy was planning to head back to where he stayed. He certainly did not expect to receive a call from Madeline.
Ten minutes later, he rushed back to the police station entrance and saw Madeline standing there, safe and sound.
“Linnie?” Surprised and delighted, he grabbed her hands tightly. “How did this happen?”
Madeline smiled. “Jeremy, let’s head to the hospital first.”
Jeremy subconsciously glanced at his injured leg and nodded obediently.
On the way to the hospital, Madeline told Jeremy about Camille coming to see her just now. Jeremy’s reaction when he finished listening was almost identical to Madeline’s.
“I didn’t expect her to be so understanding and righteous,” Jeremy said with a sigh.
Madeline agreed. “I also found it surprising that she’d help me.”
“This is your karma, Linnie.” Jeremy put his arm around Madeline’s shoulders. He finally felt steady and warm again.
