Daniel's parents did not believe what Madeline and Jeremy said, so they decided to call Esther. However, Esther's phone went unanswered.The two suddenly were a little confused. They immediately called a friend who had some connections in this regard. When asked, Esther was really at the police station now. She was also refusing to cooperate with the investigation. She truly was arrested.After hearing this news, Daniel's parents' faces changed.“How could this be?” Gina still could not believe it. She asked another person who had connections and the result was the same.Daniel's parents glanced at Madeline and Jeremy. They did not speak anymore. Anything they said at this time would only embarrass themselves further.Hence, the two sat peacefully aside and waited for the surgery to end.After more than an hour, the surgery was finally over.Neil was the first to come out of the emergency room, and his expression was rather serious.Daniel's parents did not know Neil. They thou
The two of them did not think that there would be such a coincidence.Madeline and Jeremy returned to Old Whitman Manor. After taking a shower to wash away the grime and exhaustion, the two sat down comfortably on the sofa.Jeremy then took the hairdryer and carefully dried Madeline's hair. Finally, he pulled her intimately into his arms.Feeling the temperature on her body and smelling her scent, Jeremy finally felt at ease.“Linnie, I really want to hold your hand and take you around the world every day. That way, none of those troubles can find us.”Madeline raised her hand and patted the side of Jeremy's face. “You’re thinking about retiring? Do you think you’ve earned enough money for Pudding’s formula and Jack’s and Lily's studies? As long as the children are around, we parents can’t even think about retiring.”“The children will grow up. If we want to travel the world when we get older, we may not be able to walk anymore.” Jeremy suddenly became serious as he held Madeline
After Karen's reminder, Madeline finally remembered something.So many things had happened these days that she nearly forgot the existence of this person.What was even more suspicious was that the woman actually left by herself.“Did she say why she was leaving?” Madeline asked curiously, carefully pouring the soup into the thermos.“This woman wanted something to happen between her and Jeremy from the very beginning, so how could she be willing to stay in our house as a maid? Even though she looked pitiful, she was just pretending to win your sympathy. She only wanted to stay here and take the opportunity to pester Jeremy again,” Karen analyzed what Hannah had in mind at that time.In fact, Madeline knew in her heart that Hannah was just faking when she said she wanted to stay here as a maid and when she said she did not remember anything. She only had one goal and purpose, which was to seek revenge.Madeline smiled and did not want to dwell on these unnecessary things.She pa
“Maddie, it's not like you don't know. I haven't had a mother since I was a child. The person who gave birth to me just gave me this body and nothing else.”Ava's remarks sounded like she was acting in a fit of pique, but she still obediently drank the soup made by Madeline.Madeline nodded and sat down at the side. Then, she looked at Ava very seriously. “But Ava, from an objective point of view, what kind of people do you think your parents are?”Ava paused while drinking the soup. Even though her expression seemed a little reluctant, she still spoke seriously.“If you look at it from an outsider’s perspective, one of them is a successful lady who’s intelligent, elegant, kind, and generous. The other is an influential doctor with both medical skills and morality. Both of them are outstanding well-known figures.”“That’s all?” Madeline asked. “If you look at it from another perspective, how do you think they treat you?”“Me? They’re great.” Ava smiled again, but this smile looke
Upon hearing this, Madeline smiled slightly.She knew that even though Ava was still arguing stubbornly, in her heart, Ava was willing to believe that this was the truth.“Ava, there might not be ample time in the future, especially since so many things have happened these days. It’s difficult to predict what will happen in the future. Therefore, we must cherish everything in front of us, especially those who truly love us.”Ava understood what Madeline wanted to convey, but at this moment, she just wanted to escape.“Maddie, what's Danny’s situation like now? I heard… I heard from that person just now that Dan bled a lot because he wanted to save me. Is his condition serious?”“I'm going to visit Dan in a while, so don't worry. If something bad had happened to Dan, that person you mentioned just now would have already told you.”“...”Ava knew that Madeline was deliberately teasing her and called Raegan that. However, if Raegan was sure that Daniel was fine, Ava was relieved.
“...”What Madeline wanted to express was too obvious. Ava was not stupid. Of course, she understood.Just when Ava was staying silent, someone knocked gently on the door of the ward.Madeline and Ava looked up at the same time and saw Neil in a white coat standing at the door hesitantly. There was a conflicted expression on his face. He was worried about Ava’s reaction to his appearance, but at the same time, he was expecting Ava to let him in.Madeline glanced at the two people who were not speaking, smiled, and said, “Hello Dr. Long. Ava and I happened to be talking about you.”Upon hearing that, Neil's expression became more natural, and a smile appeared on his face. “Really? What were you talking about?” He walked in while asking, his eyes shifting to Ava's face from time to time.When he saw the wounds on Ava's face, his heart ached, but he could not say anything to comfort Ava. It was as if he had lost the qualification to care about his daughter many years ago.“Ava is w
Madeline was calm. She did not have the slightest hint of fear or avoidance.“I heard that you've already left. Why did you suddenly come back? You’re even following me now. Is there anything else you want to tell me?” Madeline asked directly with a slight smile.Hannah looked at the calm smile on Madeline's face, and her eyes sank. However, the next second, she also smiled.“Yes, as you said, I'm very unwilling. Even if I really have to go back to St. Piaf, I have to say goodbye to my good ‘sister’ before leaving.”Hannah obviously had something to say. When she said the word ‘sister’, it sounded extremely ironic.Although Hannah's eyes and words were full of strong dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and perhaps she still wanted to take revenge on Madeline, Madeline's heart was inexplicably calm at this moment. There was not even the slightest fluctuation.Madeline just smiled and nodded. “Well then, do you want to go to a nearby cafe to sit down and properly bade farewell?”“N
“So, Eveline, thank you. I’ll never make a fool of myself again in the days to come.”After saying this, Hannah curled her lips into an intriguing smile before turning around decisively.After turning around and taking two steps, she looked back at Madeline who was standing there.“There's one more thing I forgot to say. I wish you and Mr. Whitman a long and happy life.”After giving this last blessing, Hannah walked forward freely and did not look back.Madeline looked at Hannah's back, which was gradually disappearing. She did not forget to reply, “Thank you.”On the way back, Madeline still found it a little weird.How did Hannah suddenly have an epiphany?Something must have happened.A person who hated her to the bone was suddenly relieved and unaffected. Something must have enlightened her.Yet, Madeline could not think of the reason until she got home and heard Jeremy talk about what happened last night.“Last night, she seemed to be watching the evening news in the l
