Chapter 641
The moment Jeremy let go, Madeline’s hands were cold and her heart seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss.
She called Jeremy’s name but received no response.
As Jeremy pushed her to safety, she heard a dull crash.
She did not know what it was but faintly felt that Jeremy was injured.
Madeline rolled from the wooden box to the ground. She coughed in discomfort. Ignoring her sprained ankle, she immediately stood up and ran to the door that was blocked by the wooden box.

Madeline’s vision suddenly became blurred. She tried to push the wooden box, but it was to no avail.

The woman was still splashing gasoline everywhere frantically, and there was a wimpy-looking man lying on the side.
As the fire spread, Jeremy had carried her and Jackson who was bound out of the window.
The crazy woman took advantage of this moment and used a fruit knife to stab Jeremy’s arm fiercely.
Blood was flowing, but Jeremy did not let go of his hand that was holding Jackson. The firmness and worry in his eyes at that time were so real.
Madeline suddenly withdrew her thoughts and felt the scorching temperature spreading around her, but she also felt a chill all over.
