Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 147

Chapter 147

"Get lost! Don't touch her!"

Jeremy roared all of a sudden. He ran out and carried Madeline to the side of the road before calling a cab.

Ava was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before she ran after them.

Meredith and Eloise ran out hurriedly as well. They did not have time to stop Jeremy as they saw him already getting into a cab with Madeline.

Ava clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She did not think much before chasing after them.

The light of the emergency room lit up while Jeremy was sitting on the chair in the waiting room quietly. He had no expression on his face.

Madeline's warmth and scent were still lingering in his arms. However, his white shirt had been stained with the blood she vomited out. There was so much blood and it was such an unpleasant sight.

He closed his eyes, his brain occupied with what Madeline said before she closed her eyes.

"Jeremy Whitman, you cold-blooded scum of the earth!"

Ava's shrieks sounded in front of him. Jeremy slowly lifted his expressionless face. There was a horrifyingly ominous gaze in his eyes, and he looked as if he was going to devour someone whole at any time. However, Ava was not scared. She looked at Jeremy with tears in her eyes as she sobbed.

"Jeremy, it's fine if you don't love Maddie, but why do you have to torture her like this?

"What happened three years ago had nothing to do with her! She was framed! Why did you put all of the blame on her?

"Maddie followed you with no previous crimes, but you accused her of sleeping around with different men. You even denied the fact that she gave birth to your child so mercilessly! Do you know how cruel you are?

"If she didn't love you... If she didn't love you so much, why would she risk her life to protect that child? However, you don't even care and even ground that child's bones into dust! Are you even human?" Ava yelled at him fearlessly, but Jeremy only stared at her without saying anything. However, his gaze became more and more sinister with every sentence Ava said.

He stood up with no expression on his face and stared at Ava.

When Ava thought Jeremy was going to say something to her, Meredith appeared and defended him.

"What nonsense are you spewing? Who are you to talk to my fiancé like that? Madeline knows what she has done and we know what she did as well. Do you think you can clear her name with just a few words? Do you think Jeremy will believe you?"

"You're the one who needs to clear your name! It's you, Meredith! You malicious and duplicitous two-faced b*tch!" Ava fought back without showing any weakness. Then, she scoffed and peered at Jeremy who was remaining silent. "Of course this scum of the earth won't believe anything I say because he's just a deaf and eyeless fool who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"You..." Meredith was furious. She lifted her hand to slap Ava, but when her hand was in mid-air, she was stopped by Jeremy.

"Jeremy..." Meredith looked at the indifferent man with an aggrieved look on her face. "Jeremy, I won't allow anyone to talk about you like this."

She tried to curry favor with him, but Jeremy only ignored her. He let go of her hand and walked in front of Ava. His eyes were like bottomless abysses-dark and terrifying.

"Continue."

Ava hesitated for a bit but continued to glare at him with tearful eyes. "Jeremy, you'll regret this."

There were only a few words in her sentence, yet it caused him to have difficulties breathing.

Jeremy's heart was beating rapidly when the door of the emergency room opened. A nurse walked out. "Which one of you is the patient's family?"

Jeremy rushed forward instantly, looking extremely worried. "I'm Madeline's husband. How is she?"

The nurse looked at Jeremy with a dazed expression before sighing with regret. "The tumor in her body has taken a turn for the worst. She's lost consciousness, but the doctors are still doing everything to bring her back. However, I hope you'll be prepared because the rate of success is close to zero. This is the notice of critical illness. Please sign it."
