Chapter 308
The video ended.
“Vera.”
Jeremy rewatched the video twice as his heart thumped loudly in his chest. Quickly putting on his blazer, he dialed for Madeline.
The call was left unanswered.
He then sped to the location of the crash. Jeremy received a call just before he arrived.
Jeremy felt his heart calm greatly at the caller ID.
Tapping on his Bluetooth earphones, he answered the call nervously. “Vera?”
“It’s me.”
A familiar voice echoed through, soothing the taut hold over Jeremy’s nerves.
He met Madeline ten minutes later, his gaze heavy as he scanned her unharmed appearance. He pressed on, asking, “Are you really alright?”
Madeline stared calmly at the scratch on her leg. “It’s a small issue. Rather than worrying about me, Mr. Whitman, I’d rather you worry about your son instead.”
Jeremy’s brows furrowed. “Jackson?”
“Yeah. I have to ask you, is Jackson really Meredith’s son?” Madeline inquired confusedly.
“I was shocked to see her leaving her son to be hit by a car and make a run in the face of danger.”
Jeremy’s sharp brows furrowed deeper. Remembering the video he watched, it dawned on him that Jackson was the boy Madeline had risked her life to protect.
He did not remember seeing Meredith in the video, though.
“Let me send you home.” Jeremy walked up to help Madeline, reaching around her shoulders naturally.
