Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1339

Chapter 1339

Jeremy felt as if his heartstring were being pulled painfully as he was completely awakened at that moment.

He switched on the table lamp. Under the soft lighting, he saw Madeline drenched in a cold sweat. She was tightly holding onto the blanket, her eyes shut as she frowned. Her mouth kept blurting for help. She was terrified.

“Jeremy, don’t go, don’t go…”

She was dreaming, and her tone sounded like she was crying. Jeremy could even see tears coming out from the corners of Madeline’s eyes.

He could easily guess that she was having a nightmare. Heartbroken, Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand. “Linnie.”

However, as soon as he called out to her, Madeline had a huge reaction and shoved his hand away forcefully. “Ryan, what do you want?” she suddenly questioned.

It was obvious that she was dreaming of Ryan. In her dream, Ryan was trying to force her to do something she was reluctant to do.

Jeremy was hurt, and once again, he stretched his hands out to grasp Madeline’s icy cold hands.

“Linnie, wake up.”

“No, no…”

“Linnie.”

“Ryan, let go of my parents! I’ll never run away again. I’ll follow whatever you say. I’m begging you…”

Hearing these words made Jeremy feel as if his heart was broken into pieces again.

‘Linnie, so this is how Ryan, that b*stard, forced and threatened you?

‘Just how cruel could he be to make you have such a nightmare?’

Jeremy leaned over and got to the front of Madeline. He raised his hand to touch her forehead. He could feel a thick layer of sweat. Her face was icy cold as well. One could imagine just how terrified and insecure Madeline was feeling deep down inside.

“Linnie, Linnie, wake up.”

Jeremy frowned and called out to Madeline, his expression plastered with sorrow. He did not wish for her to continue with the nightmare.

Madeline stared at Jeremy for a moment, then looked away before saying, “Jeremy… I’m going to look for him. He said he’s coming for me. I’m going to reunite with him.”

After Madeline was done muttering, she spun around and quickly headed to the doorway.

Bare-footed and wearing a thin layer of pajamas, she walked out the room without looking back.

Jeremy quickly took Madeline’s slippers. He turned around and took something from the cabinet before hurriedly catching up to her.

After exiting the room, Jeremy noticed that Madeline was already downstairs.

At that moment, it was late at night. Even though it was during the end of summer, the temperature outside the room was enough to engulf him with a slight chilly sensation.

Jeremy quickly stepped out of the doorway but could not locate Madeline’s whereabouts.

In just a split second, she had vanished from his vision.

Jeremy held onto Madeline’s slippers and rushed forward to look for her as an unknown sense of horror and endless darkness seemed to lurk within him.
