Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1181

Chapter 1181

Madeline did not expect the robber to act in that manner. The river was a broad one, but Madeline knew she should not think twice about it.

Seeing her purse flowing along in the river, without thinking further, she jumped.

The passersby who saw this scene were astonished and gathered around the bridge to observe.

“Is this woman out of her mind?”

“Does she have to take such drastic measures just for a purse?”

“Maybe she has lots of money in the purse!”

The passersby who did not know the truth were all making wild guesses, but to Madeline, the purse contained an item that was way more important than anything else. It was the lifeline for the man she loved most in her life.

After Madeline jumped into the river, she swam for some time before getting her hands on her purse.

She strapped the purse around her back and revealed a smile.

Soon enough, Madeline recomposed herself only to just realize she was in the middle of the river. Besides, she did not know how to swim to begin with!

It was as if she just realized it.

Earlier, her mindset was fixed on getting the purse back that she did not even hesitate.

Perhaps it was a sudden burst of motivation within her subconscious mind that allowed her to swim, but once she calmed herself, she forgot how to swim!

‘Damn it!’

Madeline finally realized the seriousness of the issue.

She had to keep living to bring the reagent back to Jeremy.

“Help!” Madeline started calling for help.

In such a helpless situation, Madeline summoned her entire strength to kick her legs and stretch her arms. She was giving it her all to swim back to the riverbank.

She started coughing vigorously and even vomited out a few mouthfuls of water.

Despite the suffering, she took out the item from her purse the moment she reached land. It was only after checking that the bottle of reagent was not damaged that she felt relieved.

Ryan followed her to the riverbank and looked at Madeline who was checking the reagent. He frowned. “You’re willing to discard your life for Jeremy’s sake?”

Madeline ignored him as she was focused on packing her purse. Then, she got up and left the scene.

Ryan grabbed on her hand, yanking her to his front.

Madeline struggled and glared at him with a sharp gaze. “Let me go!”

“Do you have to give such a drastic reaction whenever I touch you just a little?”

“Of course! Because I think you’re dirty!” Madeline replied in a merciless tone. She forcibly shoved Ryan away. “In this world, the only man who can touch me is my husband, Jeremy! Ryan, you make me feel like puking.”
