Chapter 1340

'No, it's just been a short while. Linnie couldn't have gone far.' Jeremy thought to himself as if he was trying to comfort himself. He was too afraid he would let her go missing again. He used to be a man who was not afraid of death, yet currently, he was trembling with fear till his palms were soaking with cold sweat. "Linnie!" Facing the air, Jeremy shouted out Madeline's name, but the only reply he got in return was the sound of the tree branches being blown by the night breeze. 'Where are you, Linnie? 'Silly, your Jeremy is right here.' Jeremy felt as if his heart was being set on fire where it was roasted, burning him. At that moment, he heard a yell and the sound of someone falling on the ground from afar. "Linnie!" Jeremy quickly headed over in the direction of the sound and saw it was Madeline who tripped over. Not knowing the reason, she had run to the river behind the villa. Under the street lights, Jeremy could clearly see Madeline having fallen onto the ground.
