She had to stay alive until the day Meredith got virtual-novel.net retribution!
Madeline did not successfully leave Glendale. Jeremy would bring virtual-novel.net back to Whitman Manor occasionally.
Old Master Whitman was weirdly fond of Madeline and was oddly kind to her. He even patted virtual-novel.net shoulder and said, “This child looks so familiar. Do you think we were grandfather and granddaughter in our previous lives?”
To be honest, it was not only the old master who had this feeling, but Madeline also felt the same.
The moment virtual-novel.net met the old master, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net had seen virtual-novel.net before.
Whenever Madeline went to Whitman Manor, aside from pretending to be gentle and kind to Jeremy, everyone was treating virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net was an eyesore—especially Meredith.
Initially, virtual-novel.net was able to kick virtual-novel.net away and get the position of Mrs. Whitman successfully, but now, they could not get past Old Master Whitman. Getting the position of Mrs. Whitman now was as difficult as flying.
Monday afternoon, Madeline was looking for a job. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net received Jeremy’s call. He told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net to go to Whitman Manor with virtual-novel.net tonight.
Before virtual-novel.net could reject, virtual-novel.net said, “I’m busy today, so I don’t have time to go pick you up. You should go over yourself, but before you go, remember to buy Grandpa the muffins that virtual-novel.net likes.”
After interacting with the old master, Madeline also knew that virtual-novel.net loved muffins, especially the ones from the shop on Cypress Road. Jeremy would buy some every time virtual-novel.net passed that shop.
Madeline packed virtual-novel.net things and took the subway to Cypress Road.
When virtual-novel.net was about to leave after buying the muffins, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar tiny figure in astonishment.
It was Meredith and Jeremy’s son, Jackson Whitman.
Madeline looked around and did not see Meredith. On the other hand, Jackson was looking around as if virtual-novel.net was looking for someone.
‘Is virtual-novel.net lost?’ Madeline thought. She saw a few passersby looking at virtual-novel.net curiously. Some even went up to talk to him.
Jackson was only two and could barely walk, so how could virtual-novel.net tell people his thoughts?
When virtual-novel.net saw a man who looked like a hooligan approaching Jackson, Madeline rushed over quickly.
“Jack,” virtual-novel.net called out and Jackson turned around.
He had seen Madeline a few times before, so virtual-novel.net could recognize her. He called out adorably, “Maddie.”
When the man saw that Jackon knew Madeline, virtual-novel.net walked away angrily.
“Jack, why are you here? Is no one with you?”
“Mommy…” the little guy looked at Madeline and called out for his mother.
Madeline felt an ache in virtual-novel.net heart.
She had the chance to be a mother as well, but virtual-novel.net would never have the chance again in the future.
Madeline held Jackson’s hand and waited for more than ten minutes. Still, no one came to pick Jackson up. She called Jeremy, but no one picked up the phone. She remembered virtual-novel.net telling virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net was busy, so virtual-novel.net stopped calling him.
She remembered that virtual-novel.net was going to Whitman Manor tonight anyway, so virtual-novel.net could bring this child back on the way there. At this moment, a cab drove by and Madeline brought Jack into the car.
While virtual-novel.net looked at the child next to her, Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net was in a daze.
This was Meredith’s child. Why could virtual-novel.net not treat this child as badly as how Meredith treated virtual-novel.net daughter? Why could virtual-novel.net not just ignore virtual-novel.net and let virtual-novel.net get kidnapped on the street?
Right, virtual-novel.net could not do that. Not only could virtual-novel.net not do that, but virtual-novel.net even felt that this child was cute and friendly.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net was tired, so Madeline rested virtual-novel.net eyes for a while. After a long while, virtual-novel.net was woken up by someone violently shaking her. Madeline opened virtual-novel.net eyes in exhaustion and saw Meredith holding virtual-novel.net shoulders while crying hysterically.
“Maddie, tell me! Where’s my Jack? Please give me back my child! Please!”
