Chapter 1214
As he said that, he started walking faster to the beach to throw away the bottles.
Madeline grabbed him, then ran in front of him. “Jeremy, I’m not just your woman. I’m also your wife! Do you understand? I’m your wife! So what if I sacrifice a little for my husband? I don’t feel aggrieved doing so. I think it’s worth it!” she yelled at him hysterically, her breathing turning extremely shaky.
Jeremy looked into Madeline’s red eyes and clenched his fists. One could even hear cracking sounds coming from his knuckles.
“Jeremy, if you dare to throw the anti-toxoid test reagents into the sea, I’ll jump into the sea in front of you!”
“Linnie!”
“If you dare to do it, then I’ll dare to jump!” Madeline’s eyes were stern. “To me, nothing is more important than the anti-toxoid test reagents right now!”
Jeremy saw the determination in Madeline’s eyes.
Madeline had already expected Jeremy to have such a drastic reaction, so that was why she never told him. However, she could not hide from him anymore now that it had come to this.
Madeline noticed that her reaction had attracted the attention of the tourists on the beach.
Jeremy’s face was too attractive. Madeline was scared that these people would recognize him.
“Jeremy, there are too many people here. Let’s find a place to talk.” Madeline grabbed Jeremy’s hand to turn around.
However, the man was like a stubborn child. He escaped from Madeline’s grip and walked forward alone.
Madeline felt heartbroken when she saw his obstinate and frail frame.
No, perhaps this was not stubbornness.
However, this was his last ounce of dignity as a man.
Madeline gave up on talking to him. She looked at the haggard man with red eyes and allowed her tears to fall freely. “Jeremy, I promise we’ll meet again in the next life to continue staying with each other for the rest of our lives.”
Jeremy smiled while feeling at ease. Then, he pulled Madeline gently into his broad arms. “Linnie, the biggest satisfaction and happiness in my life was meeting you, loving you, and being missed by you.
“However, even if I die, I won’t die while being labeled as a murderer.” He let go of his arms and threw the remaining anti-toxoid test reagents into the trash before holding Madeline’s hand to leave.
“Jeremy, where are we going?” Madeline asked curiously.
Jeremy carried her all of a sudden and got onto the motorcycle. “Linnie, we can’t be so passive, so we need to take action now.”
