Both Madeline and Eloise’s eyes widened at Jackson’s comment.
Eloise Patton was a designer as well, so virtual-novel.net could fully replicate Madeline’s birthmark on the A4 piece of paper.
Madeline began to wonder if Jackson had ever walked past when virtual-novel.net happened to reveal virtual-novel.net birthmark.
“You’ve seen this butterfly, Jack? Where?” Eloise leaned down to inquire, eagerness shining in virtual-novel.net glistening eyes.
“Why did you print so many search notices, Mrs. Montgomery? Are you trying to look for your daughter?” Madeline calmly changed the subject.
Eloise nodded. “I’ve posted it on the internet as well, but these flyers are merely another option. I’d try anything if it meant that I could find my daughter!”
Her words held nothing but hope and sincerity.
She truly wished to find virtual-novel.net long-lost child.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart tremble and clench in virtual-novel.net chest.
‘Perhaps my parents are not to blame, not when they too were victims of Meredith’s family’s lies.
‘They were used for their desire to find their child.
‘Yet…’
“Tell Granny, Jack, where did you see this butterfly before?”
Madeline suddenly heard Eloise’s impatient inquiry.
Snapping back from virtual-novel.net thoughts, Madeline tried to stop Jackson only to hear the boy’s clear tone cut through the air. “On Maddie,” Jackson answered lightly.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart race.
Eloise was stunned. “Maddie? Jack, Maddie as in Madeline Crawford?”
Jackson nodded before reaching out to point the right side of Madeline’s waist on virtual-novel.net back. “Right here. That’s where Maddie’s butterfly is.”
“…”
“…”
Madeline did not expect Jackson to have seen virtual-novel.net birthmark.
Not to mention that Jackson was only two when virtual-novel.net ‘died’ three years ago. What exceptional memory the boy had!
“Wh-What…” Stunned, Eloise’s vision grew dark.
As if all virtual-novel.net strength had left her, Eloise swayed and began to fall.
Madeline’s reflexes kicked in and virtual-novel.net grabbed Eloise before the other could hit the ground. “Are you alright, Mrs. Montgomery?”
Eloise’s complexion was pale while virtual-novel.net gaze was blank. Her entire body froze as if virtual-novel.net had lost virtual-novel.net mind while tears trickled steadily from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Mrs. Montgomery?”
“Hiss…” Eloise pressed a hand over virtual-novel.net aching heart as virtual-novel.net sucked in a painful breath. “So that’s why… Now I understand…” virtual-novel.net muttered to herself as the rush of virtual-novel.net tears grew while virtual-novel.net lips trembled to speak a name.
“Madeline…”
Madeline smiled bitterly at the words. She found virtual-novel.net eyes becoming wet.
What a shame that it was all too late.
Eloise fainted after virtual-novel.net uttered out virtual-novel.net daughter’s name.
Madeline sent Eloise to the hospital after virtual-novel.net passed Jackson over to one of the kindergarten teachers. Sean rushed over not too long after.
Not knowing why Eloise had fainted, the man was anxious in fear that virtual-novel.net had gotten sick.
Madeline signed Eloise’s discharge papers before virtual-novel.net returned to the room. Seeing Sean pace nervously outside, virtual-novel.net immediately suppressed virtual-novel.net upset feelings and walked over to the man with a smile.
“You’re here, Mr. Montgomery. Don’t worry, your wife is alright.”
Sean thanked virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net handed virtual-novel.net Eloise’s examination report.
Sean’s worry grew when virtual-novel.net read the reason behind Eloise’s unconsciousness—extreme distress.
“Distress? Why would Ellie be distressed out of the blue?”
