Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239

At that moment, Madeline recalled something. She turned around quickly and ran toward a place.

The sky was already dark and the street lights were turned on. The empty amusement park had lost its liveliness from the morning. At this moment, there were only sounds of rustling trees.

“Jeremy, what should we do now? Jack must’ve been abducted!” At this moment, Meredith was leaning against Jeremy with fear and worry on her face.

“Jeremy, I can’t lose Jack! He’s our only child!”

She emphasized ‘only child’ and did not notice Jeremy’s expression sinking when she mentioned that.

When he was about to say something, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.

“You should go back first. I have something to take care of,” Jeremy said to make Meredith leave before immediately walking away after that.

“Jeremy! Jeremy!” Meredith called out to him, but he continued walking without even turning back.

Meanwhile, Madeline went to several secluded locations based on her intuitions. Finally, she found Jackson behind a fake mountain.

The light from the street lights shone dimly inside the fake cave. Jackson’s small body was curled up in a corner, and he was hugging himself tightly with his thin, slender arms.

When Madeline saw this, she felt her heart tightening for some reason.

When she saw Jackson with his head lowered as he shook in fear, she felt like something was piercing her heart.

Madeline did not hesitate and walked over hurriedly.

“Jack,” she called out. Then, she saw Jack’s trembling shoulders stop moving for a second.

“Jack, I’m Vera.” Madeline squatted in front of him. She lifted her hand to caress his head.

Jack slowly lifted his pale face, and his lifeless yet horrified eyes were seen gazing at Madeline. Then, they started to well up with tears.

“Vera…”

“Yeah, it’s me.” Madeline looked at Jackson with a broken heart. She reached out her hands to pull his tiny body into her arms.

It was the end of summer and the cold wind was blowing constantly. Madeline realized that Jackson’s body was cold. His soft hands held no warmth at all.

As if he had found a safe harbor, Jackson leaned against Madeline’s chest and held her tightly.
