Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 612

Byron:

Madeline had told me her plan, and for the past minute, I had been silently staring at her face.

She was waiting for my reaction, but none came.

I didn’t want to disrespect her, and I couldn’t bring myself to tell her, even in nice words, that this was the most stupid decision.

"Please, take a moment," I told Madeline, showing her a hand gesture to calm down.

"Now think about what you just said to me in your head, and then tell me, do you think what you’re saying is a wise decision?" I asked her in the calmest, nicest way possible.

She watched my face in silence for the first few seconds, then let out a deep breath.

"What do you mean?" she complained, not looking very happy with me.

"All I’m saying is, repeat the same thing again to me, because I want to know if you realize how—" I paused again as I bit my tongue, "how wrong it sounds."

Then I forced myself to calm down.

I mean, hurting her would be the last thing I would ever do.

It seemed as if she understood that I was being sarcastic, because she rolled her eyes, folded her arms across her chest, and kept staring at my face.

"Look, Byron, I don't know where Baxter is, okay?" she started.

"There is no news about him. There is no information on where he could be." She paused, sucking in tears.

"And from what I know, if someone took him out of the coffin before thirty days–" She did not finish her sentence.

She just removed her hands from her chest and held them together, her fingers curling around each other, tangled in anxiety.

Her lips quivered as she dreaded to say the words, but I knew what she was trying to imply.

The doctor had said it.

If someone took him out before the thirty days, he would be dead by now.

And with the ten-day data suggesting it was probably even earlier, the chances of him being alive were zero.

"So no, I don't think I'm making the wrong decision. Everything is a mess," she continued in a shaky voice.

"The only person who can still have a little closure is Ron. His wife's dead body is with those animals. She deserved to be laid to rest with respect. She had been through a lot. I don't think it is right that they are taking away the smallest bit of respect she deserved."

She explained it to me, and I looked down, taking deeper, heavier breaths.

Although she was right, I still did not agree with her.

"The problem is–" I paused, then looked up to meet her eyes. "You want to put yourself in the hands of people when you don’t even know what they are capable of."

I explained it to her.

"If we listen to their ridiculous demands now, they will think they can get away with anything. And that would be the worst thing."

"We don't have another choice," she whispered.

"All I'm saying is, we need to help Ron, and we need to get Yuvonne's body before it is disrespected."

She reminded me of the threats they had made. I watched her face with tired eyes before I shook my head again.
