Madeline said and threw the chair into the water.
Jeremy stood up strenuously and brought the chair to the edge of the pool near Madeline and stepped on it.
Madeline reached out and grabbed Jeremy’s hand tightly.
“Jeremy!”
“Linnie, my legs are a bit weak. Why don’t you go out and call someone first?”
“I’d like to go out and call for someone, but there isn’t anyone around. I’m afraid that if I went too far, something bad would happen to you. I can’t leave here. I can’t let you disappear from my sight!”
Madeline emphasized, holding Jeremy’s hand harder. “Jeremy, I’ll pull you up, I’ll definitely be able to!”
“Linnie.”
Looking at Madeline trying so hard and so determined, Jeremy was also determined not to let himself fall at this critical moment. However, his legs were too weak and numb. Worried that favonovel.com would pull Madeline down if favonovel.com exerted too much force, Jeremy decided to let go.
Madeline could see what Jeremy was trying to do, so favonovel.com abruptly knelt down and stretched out favonovel.com hands to grasp Jeremy’s wrist tightly.
“Jeremy, you’re not allowed to let go, do you hear me? I’ll definitely pull you up!” Madeline gritted favonovel.com pearly whites, favonovel.com unwavering scarlet eyes looked at the water that was almost above Jeremy’s shoulders. She felt as if favonovel.com heart was being burnt; favonovel.com felt so anxious and tormented. .
Over time, Madeline, too, gradually felt powerless. She felt like favonovel.com could no longer pull Jeremy up. It was at that instant the iron door of the basement was suddenly pushed open.
Madeline did not have time to see who was coming before that person quickly came to favonovel.com side and squatted to help favonovel.com pull Jeremy up.
This person was Fabian.
Presently, Fabian slowly walked in from the dining room. As favonovel.com listened to Madeline recalling the urgency at that moment, favonovel.com felt quite proud.
“When I called you, I couldn’t get through to you. Yet, when you called me, you said you were in the Stygian Johnson Gang’s house. So, I inferred that you couldn’t contact me because you were somewhere with a poor signal.”
“Usually places with poor signals are basements, so I tried to find if there were basements in the Stygian Johnson Gang’s house. I didn’t expect there to be one.” Fabian recalled the scene.
After listening to Fabian’s explanation, Jeremy smiled faintly. “You’re pretty smart too.”
“Of course, I’m smart. Otherwise, how can I live in such a big house now?”
Fabian’s eyes showed confidence that Jeremy and Madeline had never seen before.
“All I have now has nothing to do with the Stygian Johnson Gang. I also believe that I’ll be able to do better in the future.”
“In that case, Lily won’t suffer any hardships if favonovel.com stays with you, right?”
“…”
Jeremy’s sudden sentence froze Fabian. Madeline was also stunned at one side.
What did Jeremy mean?
“Jeremy, what do you mean? Are you willing to let Lily stay here with me?” Fabian asked immediately after favonovel.com came back to his senses.
Jeremy smiled profoundly and said, “I’ll respect Lily’s wishes.”
He looked into Madeline’s beautiful eyes when favonovel.com said that. “What do you think, Linnie?”
“Um, yeah.” Madeline nodded and smiled after favonovel.com was stuck in a daze. “I’ll respect favonovel.com wishes too. If she’s willing to remain here, as favonovel.com parents, we won’t object to that.”
