Jeremy could not help but briefly froze. Then, he walked toward Madeline.“Linnie, why are you looking at me like that?” Her gaze seemed to be questioning him.Madeline, betraying no emotion, gave a measured look at Jeremy, and suddenly smiled. “I didn’t expect my husband to act this shamelessly.”Jeremy had thought that Madeline was questioning his earlier actions. Upon hearing this, he smiled in turn.“Trust is off the table when dealing with the likes of her, but the information she provided is indeed useful.”Madeline smiled and nodded in agreement, then quickly reverted to her serious look.“Shirley and Carter knew each other, and they have an intimate relationship. That means that Shirley was just following Carter’s orders when she acted against me. Shirley used this kind of thing to keep me in check, but at the end of the day, it was all to get at you, Jeremy. I really don’t understand what they’re up to.”Madeline’s troubled look calmed Jeremy down instead. “Maybe we’ll

Madeline looked back at Karen and expressed her gratitude. “I’m so grateful to you for all your help in caring for my mother all this while. I truly mean it.”Karen could fully sense Madeline's sincerity. She raised her hand and patted Madeline's shoulder lightly, her eyes filled with love and kindness that she never had before.“We’re family. You don’t need to thank me. I feel at ease now that you’re back safely. You and Jeremy ought to rest up in your room first. The other issues can be dealt with later. Plus, there’s no need to worry about your mother. I’ll take care of her myself.”Hearing Karen’s words, Madeline was quite moved.Sometimes, life was truly wonderful. At the very least, it never crossed her mind that, one day, her relationship with Karen would be like this.Madeline and Jeremy returned to their bedroom. Although they had not been back for a very long time, the room had been thoroughly cleaned, all traces of Naomi erased.After lying down on the familiar bed, Ma

Adam tried recalling and nodded slightly. “I remember.” However, he was more perplexed now. “Who’s this person?”Jeremy filled him in with every detail he had gathered, which Adam found inconceivable. “This person has quite the background. How did Shirley know him?”“It is said that your sister appeared suddenly at the Gray Manor over ten years ago. Since then, your sister had constantly been with Carter, day and night, but then she left the Gray Manor for some unknown reason a few years back,” Madeline explained.Adam’s long brows snapped together, his eyes betrayed his helplessness, hesitating to speak.Madeline caught this change in his eyes. “Adam, why did your sister leave home back then? She would have been just a little girl more than ten years ago.”Adam gave a melancholic and wry smile as he sat down on the chair, somewhat weakly.“She has always misunderstood. She wrongly thought that our parents do not love her and that there’s no place for her in this family. In reali

Cathy walked toward Madeline with a smile, saying, “Evie, it seems that you’ve gone back to your regular self. Has the hypnotism been broken?”Madeline nodded. “It’s all thanks to you, Cathy. You and Adam have helped us a lot.”Upon hearing this, Cathy looked at Adam. “Adam has also helped me a lot,” she said with sincere gratitude in her eyes.Meeting Cathy’s gaze, Adam gave her a gentle and friendly smile.“You’re here so late, is there anything I can help you with?”“I left something here so I dropped by to get it back.”Adam quickly understood. “Wait for me.”As he said that, he turned around and entered the house. A moment later, he walked out with a teddy bear in his hand.“You’re here for this, right?” Adam smiled and handed it over. “Juan likes to sleep with this doll the most. He’ll make a fuss if he doesn’t have this teddy bear with him.”When Cathy heard Adam say that, she could not help but feel touched inside.She walked up to Adam and took the teddy bear from hi

Jeremy looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Cathy looking at him calmly.“Have you visited Felipe?” he asked.“Yeah, I’ve gone to meet him,” Cathy said, her eyes darkening slightly. “He has also figured that the two children belong to him.”“Does he already know?” Jeremy and Madeline were both surprised at her words.Cathy did not nod or shake her head, merely whispering, “Although I didn't admit it, I think he must already know.”“I know it’s very selfish of me to say this, but Cathy, those two children are Felipe's only hope for appealing and commutation.” Jeremy's tone was soft, even carrying a hint of a plea.Although he and Felipe had a lot of friction between them, blood was thicker than water and he was still Felipe’s nephew. Plus, those things in the past were over. They had already moved on from those things.Cathy lowered her head and fiddled with the teddy bear in her hand. She was still speaking softly, “He should take responsibility for all the things he has done.

Now, the person Madeline was most worried about was Lillian. Except for the two words ‘Daddy’ and ‘Mommy’, she still could not speak.After eating breakfast, Madeline straightened the clothes of the two children and took their hands to walk them to the front door where they would wait for their ride.While walking, something fell from Lillian’s hand. She hurriedly stopped, broke free from Madeline’s grip, and walked back. Then, she squatted down and picked something up.Madeline walked over to take a look out of curiosity and found that the little girl was holding a piece of candy in her cute, fair, and chubby hands.The candy’s wrapper looked a bit old, as though it was expired.“Lily, do you want to eat candy? I’ll buy some for you. It looks like you can't eat this candy anymore,” Madeline persuaded softly.Lillian blinked her big eyes and then shook her head slightly.The little girl looked at Madeline as though she wanted to say something, but even after moving her little mo

When the person on the other end of the phone heard Madeline’s words, he replied rudely, “Who’s Fabian? There’s no Fabian here! Stop calling me!”After he said that, he hung up the phone, leaving Madeline only to hear the disconnect tone.She was stunned. When she was about to call again, she realized she could not get through anymore. The only possibility was that her number had been blocked.Madeline lifted her eyes to look at the nanny van that was driving farther away. When she thought about Lillian’s behavior just now, she started to feel a little worried.She could imagine that Fabian must hold a very special position in her precious daughter’s heart.When Fabian saved the little princess from Felipe, they had mysteriously and inexorably formed some kind of bond.Madeline looked at the phone number that had blocked her and there were questions in her heart that could not be answered.Fabian had left all of a sudden. She could not understand what could be the reason behind

“I didn't expect to see you again.” He broke the silence in a light manner, but the smile on his face was no longer charming and looked a little desolate.“Have you really decided not to appeal?” Jeremy went straight to the subject. “You have the opportunity to appeal and I can help you find a lawyer so that at least you won't be sentenced to death.”“I don't need it anymore,” Felipe refused decisively. “I’ve been obsessed for so many years and as a result, it’s all for nothing. I’ve had feelings for a woman for so many years, but in the end, I personally drove her to misery…”He paused as he was talking, his brows furrowing with endless grief and melancholy.“We should let this end here.”“Grandpa is still waiting for you to go back.”At Jeremy’s words, there was a slight change in Felipe’s expression. Jeremy could see that Felipe was still a little reluctant to leave this world, but it was just that he could not spare himself when he thought about what had happened to Cathy.“
