Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097

After he said that, he hung up the phone.

When Madeline called him again, his phone was switched off.

Madeline started sobbing and sniffling when she saw the darkened screen.

She felt a thorn stabbing deep inside her heart. She could not see it, but it was making her bleed profusely.

Ryan held Madeline gently. He did not know what he could say to make her feel better. Perhaps nothing he could say would ever comfort the hurt in her heart.

Madeline cried for a long while, but she could not soothe the bone-piercing pain in her heart no matter what.

She tried to control her tears and emotions as she removed herself from Ryan’s arms. “Rye, I know it’s not fair to do this to you, but I hope you can give me some time. I want to find him, and if he’s really incurable, then please let me spend the rest of his life with him.”

Ryan smiled softly and wiped away Madeline’s tears gently.

“Actually, the biggest reason I married you is to protect you,” he said honestly, “I know who you truly love, so I won’t force you. Go and do what you want. Go to him.”

Madeline lifted her teary eyes. “Thank you, Rye.”

After she thanked him, she left hurriedly.

Madeline contacted a lot of people she knew to ask them about Jeremy’s whereabouts. She also checked every flight but did not find anything.

She asked Ryan about Jeremy’s whereabouts, but Ryan only told her that he saw Jeremy buying a flight ticket to another country. However, he did not know where he was going.

Madeline stood at Glendale International Airport, looking at the passing crowd. Even though she was standing among a lot of people, she still felt extremely lonely.

She tried to call him, but she could not get through to him no matter what. Even if the call went through, he would not pick up.

Madeline sent several messages to Jeremy, but she did not know if he read them. The only thing she knew was every time she typed a message, she would feel as if she had already lost him.

Madeline had been looking for him for a few days now. However, she still did not get any information about him.

There was only a wedding photo that had been ripped into pieces on the bed.

She picked the pieces up and tried to piece them back together, but she could not do it.

Looking at the handsome and radiant Jeremy in the photo, she held the pieces and started sobbing.

“Jeremy, let me stay with you, okay? Don’t leave on your own. Let me stay with you at least…”

…

Jeremy had not left Glendale. The flight ticket was fake as well.

He knew Ryan would not be able to keep his secret for long, so he decided to lie to him too.

He gave Ryan an illusion so that Madeline would think he had left Glendale and she would never be able to find him again.
