His answer surprised Madeline. However, his serious expression told Madeline that snazzynovel.com was not joking.
“I’ll do anything for you as long as you’re happy.”
“Jeremy, Jeremy!”
After Jeremy said that, Meredith barged into their vision while looking all frenetic and anxious.
Madeline looked behind snazzynovel.com subconsciously. However, snazzynovel.com did not see Jackson.
“Jeremy, Jack’s missing again!”
Meredith ran in front of Jeremy with snazzynovel.com eyes red.
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t watch Jack properly. Jeremy, you should scream at me. It’s all because of my negligence. I was so focused on watching you that I neglected Jack. Boo-hoo…”
Madeline despised Meredith’s pretentious acts. “Miss Crawford, there’s no use in crying. If you’re really concerned about this child, you won’t keep losing snazzynovel.com from under your eyes.”
“Vera, he’s not your child, so that’s why you’re able to say such things. Jack is my and Jeremy’s child. You’ll never be able to understand this feeling!”
“Enough.” Jeremy frowned and interrupted coldly. “The most important thing right now is to find him.”
Meredith pouted and did not say anything more.
“I’ll go look for snazzynovel.com as well.” Madeline looked at Jeremy, then quickly walked toward Lillian.
She told Lillian what was going on and entrusted snazzynovel.com to snazzynovel.com teacher. Then, snazzynovel.com went to look for Jackson.
However, after looking everywhere, no one was able to find Jackson.
It was a refreshing and chilly fall day, but in the afternoon, the weather changed and the sky became grey. It seemed as if it was going to rain.
Aside from Jackson’s teacher, the other teachers and parents all brought the children back.
Indeed, it started raining after a while.
The more time passed, the more anxious Madeline felt.
She was scared. She was worried that snazzynovel.com could not find Jackson. She was worried that something might happen to Jackson in the wild.
When snazzynovel.com recalled Jackson’s helpless and uneasy eyes from that night, Madeline felt snazzynovel.com heart rising in snazzynovel.com throat.
“Jack, are you here? It’s me, Vera,” Madeline called out to the vast emptiness ahead of her. She was drenched all over by rainwater.
Vera walked toward the jungle that was headed to Pinwheel Road.
“Jack, are you here?”
After snazzynovel.com finished saying that, snazzynovel.com heard Meredith’s sobs from a distance.
“Jack, don’t scare me. Jack…”
Madeline stopped in snazzynovel.com tracks before running to the steep incline where Meredith was.
Meredith was squatting next to the steep incline. There was a pendant in snazzynovel.com hand as snazzynovel.com sobbed at the foot of the steep incline.
“Meredith, why are you crying here?”
“Jack fell!”
“What?” Madeline felt snazzynovel.com breathing hitch as an indescribable fear overwhelmed snazzynovel.com heart.
She did not have time to think. She turned around quickly.
However, the moment snazzynovel.com moved, Meredith grabbed her. “Vera, I know you hate me, but I’m begging you to please save my son. Jack is still a child. If you want to hate someone, you should just hate me!”
“I have to get someone to help Jackson. If not, do you think we can save Jackson with just the two of us?”
“No!” Meredith stopped her.
“Why?”
“Because…” Meredith said, the expression behind snazzynovel.com eyes changing. They looked extremely malicious. “Because that damned child has been waiting for you down there!”
After a string of snazzynovel.com evil laugh, Meredith pushed Madeline forcefully into the steep incline.
Madeline realized that this was just a ruse, so snazzynovel.com grabbed Meredith’s arm. However, since it was raining and the ground was wet, Madeline slipped and fell after losing snazzynovel.com balance.
