She had even promised the little girl that virtual-novel.net would bring virtual-novel.net here when virtual-novel.net grew up.
However, virtual-novel.net did not think that they would never get to the day when virtual-novel.net grew up.
Madeline took out the little pendant virtual-novel.net carried around virtual-novel.net neck. Before this, Lillian would always carry it with her.
She opened virtual-novel.net eyes that had gotten red in the wind and caressed the pendant. “Lily, I’m taking you to Pirate Land now. Can you see?”
She forced a smile. The pain in virtual-novel.net heart was extremely evident and bone-crushing.
Madeline could not control virtual-novel.net emotions. She held the pendant and started crying.
“Lillian…”
However, virtual-novel.net quickly thought about Jackson. She did not want to show any negative emotions in front of another child.
Madeline wiped virtual-novel.net eyes quickly and looked to virtual-novel.net side.
However, when virtual-novel.net looked over, there was no one next to her. Aside from the people behind virtual-novel.net in line, virtual-novel.net did not see Jackson anywhere.
Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net heart had plunged into a deep abyss. This loss of balance made virtual-novel.net face white.
“Jack? Jack!”
She frantically started searching everywhere for him.
She could not bear the pain of another loss again.
“Jack!”
Madeline screamed loudly, causing the people around virtual-novel.net to look at virtual-novel.net curiously.
They did not understand why virtual-novel.net was crying so heavily.
“Why is this happening?” Madeline stood in the crowded theme park, and everything in front of virtual-novel.net was black. She felt like virtual-novel.net was going to suffocate at any second.
“Linnie!”
Jeremy ran to Madeline through the crowd and saw how pale virtual-novel.net face was. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net crying hysterically, virtual-novel.net felt as if something had penetrated his heart and virtual-novel.net was struggling to breathe.
“Linnie, what’s wrong? Linnie?”
“Jack…” She mumbled, feeling lifeless. “I lost Jack. Why am I such a horrible mother? I couldn’t protect my daughter and I can’t even watch over my son now. How am I even qualified to be their mother?”
Jeremy’s eyes turned red. He pulled Madeline into his arms and held virtual-novel.net closely. He was trying to give virtual-novel.net warmth and support.
“Linnie, don’t blame yourself. You’re a good mother. You’ve always been a good mother.”
He comforted virtual-novel.net and recalled the past. Actually, virtual-novel.net was the one who was the most unqualified to be a father.
She was able to risk virtual-novel.net life for Jackson, so how could virtual-novel.net be a bad mother?
When virtual-novel.net thought about this, virtual-novel.net felt more and more sorry for Madeline.
“Linnie, it’s all my fault. I’ve caused you too much pain. You’re right, meeting me is the biggest misfortune in your life. I want to change this misfortune into a blessing. Linnie, I’m so sorry.”
“Mommy. Oh? Daddy’s here too. How great!”
Suddenly, Madeline heard Jackson’s voice in virtual-novel.net ears.
She turned around abruptly and saw Jackson standing there with a balloon and a stick of cotton candy.
“Jack!”
Madeline ran over to Jackson like a child. Her tears immediately turned into laughter as virtual-novel.net squatted in front of him. “Jack, where did you go?”
“I went to get cotton candy and a balloon. Didn’t I tell you just now?” Jackson blinked his crystal-clear eyes.
Madeline realized virtual-novel.net might not have heard virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was too busy missing Lillian.
She let out a sigh of relief. When virtual-novel.net was about to ask why Jackson wanted cotton candy and balloons since virtual-novel.net did not like them, virtual-novel.net heard the little guy say seriously.
“Lily doesn’t have time to play with us today, so I’m buying virtual-novel.net favorite cotton candy and balloons for her. She’ll be so happy when virtual-novel.net sees them.”
Tears rolled down Madeline’s cheek immediately. She held Jackson and smiled in despair and relief.
The corners of Jeremy’s eyes were wet as well.
After a while, the atmosphere became less tense.
Jackson got into a bumper car happily while Madeline and Jeremy watched and waited for virtual-novel.net patiently at one side.
Jeremy did not waste this chance to show Madeline the evidence virtual-novel.net found. “Linnie, I found some clues to prove that Lily was not kidnapped by the human trafficker. Someone else kidnapped Lillian.”
Madeline did not want to talk to Jeremy, but after experiencing the helplessness of not being able to find Jackson just now, virtual-novel.net was able to sympathize with Jeremy regarding his negligence.
She lowered virtual-novel.net head to look at the screen. Then, virtual-novel.net saw a woman who was dressed similar to virtual-novel.net luring Lillian out of the shop from the footage that Jeremy had magnified.
She was still wondering which woman would do that when virtual-novel.net spotted a peculiar detail.
