Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005

Watching Madeline’s eyes that were red from crying, emotion finally flashed through Jeremy’s gaze.

He could not ignore Madeline’s plea, let alone continue to go against her wishes.

“It’s under the door,” Jeremy finally said.

Madeline quickly shouted for Fabian, “It’s under the door!”

Fabian squatted and groped around, surprised to find the key.

Opening the door, he and Yorick then ran inside to carry out Lana and Naomi who had passed out.

As both Lana and Naomi had been doused in gasoline, embers of flame managed to catch on them while they were carried out.

Thank goodness for the firefighters who arrived in time and extinguished the flames.

Lana and Naomi were sent to the hospital where both were declared to not be in any life-threatening danger.

However, the ends of Lana’s already short hair were burnt and became choppy. The scent of smoke filled the strands of her hair.

Knowing that Lana and Naomi were alright, Madeline got into the car anxiously.

She could only imagine how much Jeremy must have hated Lana and himself to do such a thing.

Madeline reached out for a picture of Eloise and Sean, tracing it with her fingertips.

“Will you blame me for stopping Jeremy, Mom and Dad?”

She frowned, feeling conflicted.

“I’ll redraft the divorce papers. You can have custody over the kids and every asset and property I own. I know they don’t mean anything to you, but it’s the last thing I can give you.”

At that, Madeline heard Jeremy walk away.

Pretending not to hear him at all, Madeline continued to light the candles. However, she could not hide the tears that were trickling from her eyes.

Time ticked away, and Madeline fell to her knees lifelessly. With her head falling forward, she started to sob.

Not too far away, Jeremy’s tears fell with hers as he watched Madeline’s kneeling and crying figure.

‘When we first met, even the wind that blew tasted sweet. I promised to protect and keep that happy smile on your face forever, yet I ended up being the one to destroy every bit of that sweet smile.

‘I’ve finally understood, Eveline, that loving a person doesn’t mean you’ll get to be with them forever.

‘It’s not because I don’t love you enough, but because I’m not worthy. You deserve much better than me.’
