Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 33

Madeline grunted in pain instantly. Jon was using all of his might to torture her. It was as if he wanted

so badly to crush her bones. Then, Madeline heard his pompous reasons.

“Jeremy, don’t think that I’m going too hard on her. I’m her father and I can’t stand seeing my own

daughter being bullied like this! After Mer gives birth to that child, you’ll know how it feels to be

someone’s parents.”

As he said that, he rubbed his foot on the back of Madeline’s hand.

Madeline’s hand started to bleed again after getting stabbed by glass shards. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not yell out in pain nor did she beg for mercy.

Jeremy did not say anything. His handsome face was as cold as ice. To Madeline, he was tacitly

agreeing to Jon’s actions.

“Jeremy, my face hurts. I’m so scared that my face will never recover.” Meredith sobbed gently at this

moment.

Jeremy frowned and glanced at Madeline in disgust. “She deserves this.”

Then, he held Meredith and said, “You dummy, I promise that your face will be as beautiful as it was

before. Come, I’ll go rest with you in your room.” His comforting words successfully made Meredith

burst into laughter. At the same time, it successfully struck Madeline down.

“No, you should accompany Maddie. I’m worried that Maddie will be jealous.” Meredith pushed Jeremy

away hypocritically.

“I won’t even care if this evil woman dies from jealousy.” Jeremy walked past Madeline with an

unbothered look on his face.

He turned around as Jon lifted his foot. Then, he stomped down on Madeline’s wrist a few times.

Madeline gritted her teeth as her red and tearful eyes looked at Jeremy and Meredith’s backs as they

went upstairs in each other’s arms. A pang of pain shot up in her heart.

After Jeremy walked into the room, Jon lifted his leg and kicked Madeline on the shoulder. He did not

go easy on her at all.

“I went easy on you today! If you dare to bully Mer again, I’ll ask someone to chop your hands off!

Scram!”

Madeline gritted her teeth and climbed up from the floor challengingly. However, she did not submit to

them. “If Meredith dares to provoke me again, I’ll still slap her.”

Jon did not expect Madeline to say that. When his brain registered what had happened, Madeline had

already walked out of the door.

When she walked out of the house, she heard Rose grumble in an agitated voice, “Look at her arrogant

face! Why didn’t you stomp on her more just now? Mer said that b*tch is drafting designs for people to

earn a living. I want to see how she’ll continue being so arrogant after her hand becomes useless! I

want to see how she’ll make money!”

It started raining lightly on this pitch-black winter night.

Madeline came to the entrance of the psychiatric hospital in exhaustion.

Perhaps this was the only family member who could give her some comfort when she needed the

warmth of a family the most.

However, today, she did not dare to face Len because she really had no ability to raise so much money

for his surgery.

When she walked into the door, she saw the nurse who told her about Len’s condition running toward

her. “I just want to tell you that your grandpa is nowhere to be seen!”

Madeline could feel her heart sink. “What do you mean by that?”

“Your grandpa’s missing!”

Madeline was stunned. Len was missing.

A mentally-ill patient was missing. She did not know what would happen to Len.

It would be fine if he ran into a kind person, but if he ran into bad guys…

She did not dare to overthink. She was about to call the cops when her phone rang. It was an unknown

number.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that this was not an ordinary phone call. Indeed,

after she answered it, a man’s threatening voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Madeline

Crawford, your grandpa’s with me. Prepare ten million dollars in exchange for him. If not, you can

prepare for his funeral.”

“Don’t hurt my grandpa! I’ll give you the money, but I really don’t have ten million dollars!”

“You don’t, but your husband does, no?” The man did not give Madeline the chance to say anything

before he hung up abruptly.
