Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 103

Chapter 103

She ran into the street without turning back. A piece of glacier had melted in her heart and black icy water had flooded her world.

She did not have the courage to face Jeremy again. His cruel methods of time and time again had made it so that her already devastated body and mind were no longer able to bear it.

At this moment, she just wanted to escape.

Even wanting to escape forever.

Suddenly, fine rain floated down the sky.

Madeline ran toward the zebra crossing in a daze, wanting to go over to the opposite street. A car was speeding in her direction. It was not slowing down.

Sensing the coming bright car lights, Madeline suddenly stopped and stood motionless in the middle of the zebra crossing.

Looking at this bustling street and watching the street lights lining it, she burst into tears.

If she could, she really wanted to restart her life...

Madeline closed her eyes and a harsh horn sounded out. Right at this critical moment, Madeline suddenly felt a strong and powerful arm hugging her tightly.

The moment the car had almost hit her, she was carried away by a man and had rolled to the side of the road.

"Madeline, listen to me! Even if you really want to die, you can only die by my hands!"

Jeremy's furious voice came from above her head, and Madeline was suddenly awakened as if she had just recovered her heartbeat and thoughts.

Because she had been afraid of seeing Jeremy, she had practically agitated herself into thinking that death ends all one's troubles...

Madeline was brought back to her current residence by Jeremy. The winter night was cold and windy. Jeremy took off his coat that had been wetted by the cold and rain, and said, "Go get the bath water ready." Madeline looked at Jeremy who said this in surprise.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Jeremy repeated impatiently, "If you hadn't gone crazy looking for death, would I be like this?"

He blamed Madeline.

Madeline glanced at Jeremy calmly and walked into the bathroom without a word.

Looking at Madeline's back, Jeremy thought that she was behaving like another person.

What he was especially occupied with were the two eye-catching knife marks on Madeline's face.

He looked around. It was really cramped, no bigger than the bathroom in his home.

She had actually hidden in such a place in order to avoid him.

Jeremy sneered, his eyes were suddenly drawn by a notebook on the bed.

He picked it up, flipped open a page, and found it to be Madeline's diary.

At a glance, Jeremy saw Meredith's name on the page and Madeline clearly stated that she had wanted to take her revenge on Meredith and wanted to see Meredith receive retribution. Madeline came out after putting on the water when saw Jeremy standing by the bed, holding her diary.

Her nerves were pulled and she ran over quickly.

Just as she was about to snatch the diary back, Jeremy restrained both her hands.

He threw her a colder look than from before. "Madeline, you truly are too vicious! You should have been hit by a car just now. Keeping you alive will only cause more damage to Meredith!" Without giving Madeline any opportunity to explain, Jeremy smacked the diary onto Madeline's face.
