Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 2286

Chapter 2286

The gray sky looked so deserted and hazy without the golden halo of the sunset.

Madeline could not help but think of the scene where she was wrongfully imprisoned. Did she still have to watch as right and wrong became distorted like this? In addition to that, this was happening around her. Ava and Daniel were her good friends, so she had no reason to just be a bystander.

Madeline told Jeremy about it after returning home. Jeremy frowned. +

“It’s indeed strange. Naya was obviously the one who did it but the police let her go so easily,” Jeremy said with a faintly sarcastic smile. “There are really many gray areas in this world.” “Jeremy, do you mean—”

“Linnie, don't worry. Since this incident happened under my nose, I won’t let it go into any gray areas. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Jeremy held Madeline's hand, and his gentle eyes were filled with endless doting and caring.

“It makes me feel so distressed to see you running around these past few days because of this incident.”

Madeline smiled slightly. “I have you to pamper and protect me, so I don’t feel tired or troubled at all. But it's not the case with Ava. We don’t know when Dan will wake up, and I'm really worried seeing Ava looking so lost every day.”

Jeremy was also quite powerless when it came to this. He would help if he could, but now, all he could do was comfort Madeline.

“Linnie, trust the doctor. Daniel will emerge out of this peril safely. We haven't attended his and Ava's wedding yet, so he won’t stay asleep forever.”

With Jeremy's words, Madeline suddenly felt less uncomfortable. However, she did not tell Ava about Naya's supposed innocence for the time being. She was worried that Ava would become more irritable when she found out.

“I was afraid. I was afraid I would go to jail if I pleaded guilty,” the man stammered.

Jeremy's eyes suddenly turned sharp. “Then why are you pleading guilty now?”

“I...” The man paused, a spark of emotion flashing across his face. Then, he stammered, “I didn’t want to do it either. I heard from the police that the victim is very seriously injured and he may never wake up for the rest of his life. After I heard it, I felt very sorry for that man. I have a guilty conscience. I was being tormented every day, so I-I chose to plead guilty in the end...”

Toward the end of the sentence, the man’s voice gradually became softer as if he had really received the condemnation of his conscience. He even looked very guilty.

However, to Jeremy, that did not seem like the case.

He left the police station and made a phone call as soon as he got in the car.
