Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 36

When Jeremy asked that question, Madeline could already predict the answer.

Indeed, the nurse on the other end of the phone denied it. “What? Lung cancer? Aside from his mental

health, his body is very healthy. How would he get lung cancer? You must have made a mistake.”

After she said that, Madeline felt her body temperature plummet.

Before Jeremy hung up the phone, the nurse said, “You said he’s missing just now? He did disappear

for some time before, but he said his niece told him to hide because she’s playing hide and seek with

him.”

When she heard this, Madeline understood everything.

Grandpa was not sick and he was not kidnapped. Meredith was the one who plotted all of this!

“Maddie, I understand now. You deliberately asked your grandpa to hide so that you can frame me for

kidnapping him.” Meredith gained the initiative by striking first. She started crying tearfully. “Maddie,

why’d you do that? I always saw you as my biological sister. How can you do this kind of thing to frame

me? Even if you hate me, you can’t joke about your grandpa’s life!”

“Why are you still asking her? This b*tch wants to use this opportunity to make Jeremy hate you!” Rose

cooperated in the act. “Madeline, you’re so despicable! The Crawfords raised you and funded your

university fees. How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? Not only did you steal Mer’s boyfriend, but

you even used these kinds of despicable tricks. You’re so inhumane!”

The mother and daughter duo said simultaneously, placing all of those groundless crimes on Madeline.

Madeline felt lifeless all of a sudden. She knew that she did not need to explain anymore. Meredith had

set this trap especially for her.

Even if she explained until her mouth broke, the man in front of her would still not believe her.

Despite that, she was still hopeful toward Jeremy. “Jeremy, I don’t care if you believe me or not, but I’ve

never done those despicable things.”

Slap!

After she said that, Madeline received a slap across the face. There was blood on the corner of her

lips.

The burning pain seared Madeline’s face. However, it was not as painful as the way Jeremy was

looking at her.

“Madeline, you’re not only evil, but you’re also devoid of conscience. You would go as far as cursing

your grandfather just to get my attention. You even set a trap to frame Mer. I think you’re just bored with

your life.”

Madeline turned her face to one side and scoffed lightly.

Idiot.

The man she loved was such an idiot.

Not only was he an idiot, but he was also blind.

“Ah, Jeremy! My stomach… My stomach hurts all of a sudden…” Meredith started screaming

pretentiously. “Jeremy, is something wrong with our baby? I’m scared…”

“The baby must’ve been disturbed when that b*tch slapped you! Jeremy, send Mer to the hospital now.

You might not even get the chance to be a father after you go!” Rose purposely made a huge fuss and

exaggerated the situation.

Jeremy’s expression changed as he carried Meredith worriedly to the garage. “Don’t be scared. Our

son will be fine.”

Son. He had even checked the sex of the baby with her.

Madeline’s heart was shattered. “Meredith is just putting on a show. Jeremy, are you blind?”

Thud!

Madeline yelled, but she did not expect Jon to lift his leg and kick her heavily on her chest. Madeline

branches. Her bloody palm was decorated with old wounds and new wounds.

She stood up challengingly. However, she could taste the metallic taste of blood coming from her

throat. Then, she started vomiting blood.
