earring did not fall in, instead landing on the ice!

Madeline ran across like the wind.

“Madeline, what are you doing?”
“Mr. Whitman, can’t you see? I’m trying to retrieve some evidence, evidence that Meredith was the true
k****r!”
Jeremy’s face was somber. “What sort of nonsense are you talking about, what does Brittany’s d***h
have to do with Mer?”
He protected Meredith as usual, pulling Madeline over. “Come back with me.”
“I won’t!” Madeline pushed him away with all her might, her gaze conflicted. “Jeremy, don’t touch me
again! You disgust me!”
“What did you say?” the man’s face darkened again.
Madeline did not falter. “I said you disgust me! You kissed a woman you hate just to protect that vile
and despicable Meredith, that sort of behavior disgusts me!”
With those words, Madeline looked at Jeremy’s dark face, his lips pursed tightly and veins could be
seen on his forehead.
Nonetheless, Madeline looked at him with a detached gaze. “Jeremy, I’ve thoroughly seen through you.
I’ll put my life on the line today. If you want to get your hands on the earring, you’ll have to k**l me!”
With those words, Madeline jumped into the lake without hesitation.
Jeremy’s pupils contracted as he looked at Madeline jumping into the lake. His mental state was in
disarray, he suddenly felt a worry that he had never felt before.

coat and jump into the lake, pulling Madeline up.
“Jeremy, you don’t have to save me! Don’t even think about taking the earring away from me again!”
Madeline tried to push him away.
However, Jeremy held onto her arm, making it difficult to get away.
When they got to the shore, Madeline’s leg was still cramped. She thought that Jeremy would take the
chance to snatch away the earring again, but he did not.
He had a stony face as he shoved Madeline into the car, quickly bringing her back to her home.
When they got off, Jeremy saw that Madeline’s leg still had not recovered, and wanted to carry her
upstairs, but he was pushed away.

and she could feel his intense gaze following her every move, making her very uncomfortable.

the door behind her when she entered.
