Her Brit, virtual-novel.net daughter, virtual-novel.net precious daughter.
In Eloise’s eyes, Madeline was just a cruel b*tch.
To Madeline, hearing those words was like a sharp knife, cruelly stabbing into virtual-novel.net heart.
No one could see the wounds, but virtual-novel.net heart had long since been riddled with wounds, blood pouring out everywhere.
Madeline withstood the intense pain as virtual-novel.net hands trembled, forcing herself to calmly say, “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, I’ve never hurt Brittany, nor would I have killed her. You have to believe me and investigate this, don’t let the real killer free.”
“Don’t you dare try to weasel your way out of this!” Sean slammed his fist into the table. “The evidence is clear, how could you still say it’s not your fault! What grudge do you have against our family? You keep targeting our daughter Meredith, and now you killed Brit. Madeline, listen clearly, I will make sure you pay the price!”
Sean shouted full of hatred, causing Madeline’s heart to momentarily slip into an endless abyss. She finally could not take it and started to cry. He asked virtual-novel.net what grudge virtual-novel.net had against them, but was that really a grudge?
They clearly were virtual-novel.net own flesh and blood, virtual-novel.net own parents. In the end, the parental love virtual-novel.net had longed for years was just out of virtual-novel.net reach.
It did not stop there, what virtual-novel.net got instead was indiscriminate derision and a slap from virtual-novel.net own parents.
How could virtual-novel.net heart hurt so much?
So it was not just love, family could cause virtual-novel.net heart to hurt so much as well.
She clenched virtual-novel.net fists tightly, feeling virtual-novel.net nails almost digging into virtual-novel.net palm.
No.
She could not let that vile woman, Meredith, continue to stay by Eloise and Sean’s side. At that moment, Eloise suddenly hissed in pain.
Sean hurried over. “Has your wound reopened? Eloise, listen to Meredith, let’s stop meeting this woman. I guarantee I will seek justice for Brit. This woman will be trapped in prison forever!”
Madeline wanted to say something, but the words were trapped in virtual-novel.net mouth. After hearing Sean’s words and looking at Eloise’s hurt look, Madeline lost the courage to reveal the truth.
She did not forget what Meredith said, Eloise had a heart condition. Even if Meredith was lying, virtual-novel.net could just imagine what sort of reaction the two of them would have if they knew the truth about virtual-novel.net being their daughter.
They might not be able to bear with the intense backlash. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net did not have much longer to live.
Why would virtual-novel.net cause them to go through the pain of losing a daughter again after they go through the joy of finding her? That sort of impact could potentially lead to them suffering for the rest of their lives.
Madeline’s eyes were filled with hopelessness as virtual-novel.net looked at the two departing figures. She could no longer hold back virtual-novel.net tears as they started to obscure virtual-novel.net vision.
A strong feeling of longing could be felt in virtual-novel.net chest as virtual-novel.net looked at Eloise and Sean leave, virtual-novel.net fingers tightening their grips.
This could be the last time virtual-novel.net would ever see virtual-novel.net parents, virtual-novel.net might not ever have the chance to call them mom and dad…
She really wanted it, virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net parents back. She really wanted to be their precious little daughter. She wanted to stop being an orphan that did not have parents to love her.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Meredith walked inside, virtual-novel.net face full of grief as virtual-novel.net tearfully called out to Eloise and Sean, “Dad, Mom.”
