Chapter 852

“Jeremy, when I was pregnant with Jack and Lily, you weren’t concerned about me nor worried about me. Do you want me to be sad just like when I had my previous two pregnancies?”

She got up.

“I’m leaving. Don’t worry. I won’t kill you, but don’t you even think about killing the child inside me.”

“Linnie.”

Jeremy wanted to stop Madeline, but she left without looking back.

His wound started hurting again, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

‘Linnie, the happiness I feel knowing that you’re carrying my child again is equivalent to the pain I feel knowing that I’m about to lose my child.

‘However, nothing is more important than you in my heart.’

Even though Madeline could not let Jeremy go, she knew she could not be discovered.

She left the basement quietly and turned around to see a bodyguard walking in.

Felipe was such a savage.

He was not as gentle and poised as he looked. On the contrary, he was extremely sneaky and scheming.

He even had the idea of locking Jeremy here.

In the next few days, Madeline had to find numerous excuses to chase the bodyguards away so that she could change Jeremy’s dressing for him.

A gunshot wound was not the same as a normal wound, so it was much more difficult to heal.

She took a bullet before as well, so she knew it was not a pleasant feeling.

In the next few days, Jeremy looked much better. Color even started to return to his face.

Today, Madeline steered the bodyguards away as usual to change Jeremy’s dressing.

However, she was still mad at him for telling her to abort the child in such a cruel way. Therefore, she would only change his dressing while ignoring him.

Jeremy quietly enjoyed Madeline’s gentle care. Then, after a while, he said, “Linnie, I know you’re mad, but I’m still going to tell you to abort the child.”

Even though Madeline was mad, she was much calmer this time. “Give me a reason.”

After some contemplation, Jeremy decided to stop hiding from her.

When he was about to tell her, the door of the basement was pushed open. Then, Felipe appeared and blocked the warm sunlight from entering the basement.

He walked in slowly like a demon from the dark world. There was a whirlpool under his eyes.

Madeline stopped changing Jeremy’s dressing. When she was about to stand up, Jeremy pulled her behind him.

However, in Madeline’s opinion, Jeremy was the one who needed protection.

Felipe saw this and scoffed. “No wonder your wound is healing so quickly. It looks like someone has been treating you with the best medication.”

Madeline got up and stood in front of Jeremy. “Felipe, I won’t allow you to hurt him.”

Felipe looked at Madeline coldly. “Eveline, it seems like you’ve forgotten what I told you and what you promised me.”

Madeline understood immediately what he was trying to say.

He was talking about Lillian.

Felipe reached out his hand to her when he saw her keeping quiet. “Come over to me unless you want to see something bad happening to him.”

Madeline had no choice. At this moment, she could only walk over to Felipe.

When Jeremy saw this, he got up abruptly, but the chains were restricting his movements.

However, he would not give up just like that. He tugged at the chains forcefully and tried to walk toward Madeline. Yet, no matter how much force he exerted, his feet remained on the same spot.

“Eveline, don’t go to him!”

He continued yelling, “If you’ve been deliberately ignoring me for my safety this whole time, I’m telling you now that you don’t have to! You’re my woman and you’re the one who should be pampered. You shouldn’t have to protect me!

“Eveline, do you hear me? I don’t want to see you feign civility with another man even if I were to die under his gun!

“Eveline!”
