After arriving at the location before Fabian and the rest, Madeline watched the flames engulf the factory and understood what Jeremy meant by revenge.
She quickly ran through the metal doors to take a look at what was happening inside. Upon entering, virtual-novel.net was met with Jeremy standing before the factory like an exquisite sculpture, rooted in place as virtual-novel.net watched the flames feed aloofly.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart sink.
She quickly called the fire department and ran to stand in front of Jeremy.
It was then that the man realized Madeline had arrived. His dim eyes sparkled.
“What are you doing here, Linnie? Quick, leave.” Jeremy quickly pulled Madeline away, not wanting virtual-novel.net to be scorched by straying flames.
Madeline slapped his hand away, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with worry and concern.
“What do you think you’re doing? Have you any idea at all?”
“I know,” Jeremy replied curtly, the flames reflecting in his frosty eyes. “She deserves to die.”
“Yes, virtual-novel.net deserves to die, but you don’t have to play the executioner!” Madeline panicked, wanting to run inside to look only for Jeremy to hold virtual-novel.net back.
As virtual-novel.net was struggling, Madeline’s eyes moistened from the heat or something else virtual-novel.net did not know. “You must know where Lana and Naomi stand! You can still stop before it gets beyond that point, Jeremy!”
Jeremy’s hold on Madeline did not loosen. “They’re not worth your pity, Linnie.”
Madeline did not know how to explain to the man that virtual-novel.net could not possibly pity Lana Johnson or Naomi Lionel.
“You’re not avenging my parents, Jeremy. You’re destroying your entire life! Stop!”
Yet, the man merely smiled by virtual-novel.net ear. “My life turned dark the moment I lost you, Linnie.
“Once Lana dies, I’ll surrender myself. I’ll tell the police that I was the one who set fire to the Montgomery family, that I was the one who destroyed your home and killed my own parents-in-law.”
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net tears falling from virtual-novel.net glistening eyes due to the breeze. “Are you even listening to me, Jeremy? Let Lana and Naomi out now!
“I’ll avenge my parents myself! I don’t need you to do it for me!
“Do you hear me, Jeremy Whitman?”
Just then, Fabian and Yorick arrived at the scene as well. Staring at the burning flames in front of them, a bad feeling crept up.
Fabian covered his mouth and ran to the window to take a look. “Lana and Naomi are both inside. The flames haven’t gotten to them yet, but they’re unconscious!”
Hearing him, Yorick immediately came up with a plan to get Lana out.
Jeremy watched coldly from the side as virtual-novel.net carried Madeline and turned around. “Go, Linnie.”
“I’m not going anywhere!” Madeline struggled out of his grip. “If you’re just leaving like this, Jeremy, then don’t appear in front of me again!”
She glared at virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net reddened and wet eyes.
“There’s a back door we can use, Yorick, but I can’t open it.” Fabian’s voice drifted from afar.
Madeline reached out to Jeremy. “You must have the key to the back door. Give it to me!”
Jeremy remained stoic.
Madeline ran toward virtual-novel.net and reached out to rustle through his pockets impatiently. Instead of the key, all virtual-novel.net found in his pockets were the rainbow shell virtual-novel.net had been keeping carefully and the wedding ring Madeline had removed.
Her vision blurred as virtual-novel.net stared at the man whose gaze grew colder by the second.
“Give me the key, Jeremy! Give it to me!”
Jeremy raised a hand to wipe virtual-novel.net tears away lovingly. “Are these tears because of me?” He smiled. “Don’t cry, I’m not worth it. Ryan’s not bad for a significant other. I’m sure he’ll be someone you can lean on in the future.”
“You don’t even know who it is that I want to lean on the most! It’s you, it has always been you. Jeremy, please! Wake up and give me the key. Come back to me. You don’t have to make another mistake!”
