Chapter 62
Madeline’s head felt heavy. After she was shaken by Meredith, she felt even dizzier.
“Maddie, why are you so cruel? I don’t care how much you hate me and resent me, but my child is innocent. Why’d you do this to Jack?”
This sounded so familiar.
Madeline did not forget how she almost said the same things to Meredith.
However, what was going on now?
What was Meredith saying to her?
“Maddie, tell me, where did you hide Jack? Tell me!”
When Madeline was still confused, Meredith screeched and questioned her hysterically again.
“Jack?” Madeline remembered what happened before she fell asleep. Then, she looked at her whereabouts. She was at her current home.
She was taking Jackson back to Whitman Manor earlier. Why was she here now?
Madeline felt a cold gust of air creeping up from the bottom of her feet. She quivered. She did not dare to imagine what had happened.
“Madeline, I didn’t expect you to really do what you claimed you would.” A bone-chilling voice said from above her head.
She lifted her head and Jeremy’s handsome but cold face appeared in her vision.
His words held a deeper meaning, and Madeline was confused. However, Meredith’s heartbreaking cries sounded once again.
“Maddie, I’m begging you. I don’t want anything anymore as long as you give me back my Jack! I’ll ask Jeremy to treat you nicely as long as you give me back my Jack.” Meredith grabbed Madeline and pleaded sadly.
Madeline looked at Jeremy in horror and explained herself. “I ran into Jack when I was at Cypress Road and he was lost, so I wanted to bring him home…”
“Maddie, why are you still lying at this point? Jeremy and I watched the security footage. He wasn’t lost. You’re the one who took him away! Tell me, where is he?” Meredith wailed loudly.
Madeline felt fear and trepidation in her heart. Her rationality told her to stay calm. She looked at Jeremy. “Since you can look at the footage, then I’m sure you’ll be able to find out that I did intend to take Jack to Whitman Manor, but then…”
Then, she felt sleepy and she fell asleep.
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, something clicked. “The driver! That driver was suspicious! He’s the one who took Jack!”
“Hmph.” Jeremy scoffed suddenly. He looked at her with an icy glare, causing Madeline to shiver in fear.
“Jeremy, I didn’t hide your son. I never hurt him!” Madeline looked into Jeremy’s sharp and piercing eyes bravely.
“Madeline, are you still going to keep acting at this time? Did you forget what you said to Mer in front of me? You told her to be careful and that not only will you kill her when you go crazy, but you’ll also take
action against the little guy. You’re still trying to quibble now, huh?”
Madeline felt a chill running down her back. The fear and anxiety spread to every inch of her body immediately.
Right, she had said that, but she only said that to infuriate Meredith.
How would she do something like that?

Jeremy gathered Meredith into his arms, his eyes penetrating Meredith like ice daggers. “I’ll give you another minute to think. If you don’t tell me, I’ll send you back to prison again.”
Madeline felt her entire body going cold. Her eyes were filled with terror and fear.
She was still unable to repel and forget about the thousand days she spent in prison, how she was beaten and tortured, and the hurt she got physically and mentally.
Those dark days almost forced her to end her life.
She could not die!
However, at the same time, she did not want to go back to that hell where she was unable to carry on even for a single day.
