Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 279

“Mer! Meredith! My baby!” Eloise was crying out hysterically. Suddenly, her legs gave out and she collapsed into Sean’s arms. She had passed out.

When Madeline saw this, her heart ached.

Eloise was her biological mother, after all. Despite Eloise not liking her, she still hoped that Eloise and Sean would be fine.

However, they were being fooled by Meredith.

Madeline felt that this was hilarious. After gathering her thoughts, she saw Jeremy standing at the spot where Meredith had jumped just now.

He looked below with a grim expression on his face. Two seconds later, he turned around and walked back.

“She only fell on the balcony. I think she’ll be fine,” Jeremy answered calmly. However, Madeline could see him visibly letting out a sigh of relief.

He was still so concerned about Meredith, after all. He was worried that she would be dead.

However, Madeline had already expected this to happen.

Meredith was well-prepared. She must have surveyed the layout and knew there would be a balcony down there. That was why she was able to jump with no worries.

Despite that, Meredith was still sent to the emergency room.

Eloise had already regained consciousness now. When she found out that Meredith had not fallen from more than 20 floors down, she burst into tears from happiness.

When she saw Jeremy, Eloise charged over to him and complained angrily.

“Jeremy, how long will you continue tormenting my daughter? She gave so much of her youth to you and at the end of the day, you’re still trying to hurt her for the sake of such a despicable woman. Do you think Madeline isn’t enough so that’s why you found Vera? If Mer dies because of this, do you think you’ll be able to sleep at night?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jeremy listened to Eloise’s rants calmly without an expression on his face.

Sleep at night? When had he ever gotten a good night’s sleep after Madeline died?

A few seconds later, Jeremy said profoundly, “In order to stop ‘tormenting’ her, I’ve called off the marriage.”

“What? Are you really calling off your marriage to Mer? Aren’t you pushing her to her death once again?”

After she yelled at him, the door of the emergency room opened. Eloise and Sean ran over quickly to ask about Meredith’s condition.

The doctor sighed with regret. “There are multiple bone fractures in the patient’s body. Her legs are seriously injured. She might even be disabled.”

“Disabled?” Eloise’s face went white. “What do you mean? She won’t be able to walk normally anymore?”

“Don’t trigger the patient for the time being. There’s a high chance of complete recovery if you take good care of her,” said the doctor helplessly.

After Eloise heard that, she clenched her fists. “That Vera Quinn! I’m going to kill her!”

“Mrs. Montgomery, calm down. Mer is more important now!” Rose stopped her. Then, she looked at Jeremy who had an icy expression on his face. “Jeremy, you’re our biggest hope for Mer’s recovery. She’ll definitely recover if you stay with her and take care of her. Jeremy, you still remember how you promised Mer that you’d take care of her when you were kids, right? You promised to take care of her forever.”

Jeremy’s face turned solemn when Rose mentioned his promise from when they were younger.

Back then, he had longed to fulfill that promise, but the moment Madeline left his life and when he realized he had fallen in love with her, that innocent promise turned into a lock that he could not get rid of. It was weighing down on him.

The next day when Madeline was about to go out, she was approached by a few police officers. They were saying that she had plotted to kill Meredith, so they needed her to go back with them to the station for investigation. They were being firm with her.

When she recalled the cage that had tormented her so much, she refused to go back.

Even though it had been so many years, Madeline could not forget how she was continuously vilified. She was trapped in that hellish place where she was tortured again and again. She was repeatedly humiliated, and in the end, her child was even taken away from her brutally.

She would never go back to that place again!

Never!

When Madeline was about to be taken away forcefully, a sports car stopped in front of the police car.
