Madeline had been taking care of Eloise for two days, and following the doctor’s instructions, they brought Eloise back home to take care of her.
There was no major problem with Eloise’s body, except that virtual-novel.net was just feeling weak and did not have the strength to talk. Coupled with virtual-novel.net mental state that was not stable, it really made Madeline worried.
Jeremy witnessed everything, and the sight made virtual-novel.net not want to let Madeline know about his condition.
Even though there were times virtual-novel.net was feeling frustrated, it all poofed into thin air when virtual-novel.net saw those three cute and active kids.
The little princess who could only smile but not talk was the exception as virtual-novel.net made Jeremy feel remorseful.
At this moment, with the slant of the sun during the afternoon of late autumn, Jeremy was heading to the office. Meanwhile, Madeline was accompanying Eloise sunbathing in the courtyard.
The two little kids, Jackson and Lillian, were up to something while Pudding, who was still learning to walk, was staring at them with his big, watery eyes. With a curious mindset, virtual-novel.net inched over as well.
Madeline felt warm at the sight of such a scene. She spun around and saw Eloise who was leaning on the chair and looking at the kids with a smile. This made virtual-novel.net thrilled and surprised.
“Mom, you’re smiling. Do you feel the warmth as well?”
Eloise did not speak a word. She just blinked virtual-novel.net eyes as if to answer Madeline.
Madeline was happy again when virtual-novel.net saw Eloise’s reaction.
She knew that Eloise was currently not in a stable mental state. She could not recognize virtual-novel.net to be virtual-novel.net daughter. Hence, Madeline was satisfied with such a change in Eloise.
“Mom, this is made by me, Lillian, and Pudding. This is for you.” Jackson’s clear voice was heard coming from behind.
Madeline spun around and saw the little kid handing virtual-novel.net a necklace. There were three little purple crystals on the necklace. Under the refraction of the sunlight, it gave off a bright halo.
“Pudding put in an effort to hand me the crystals too,” Jackson explained, trying to express that his little brother had participated as well.
Lillian nodded as well and picked up the necklace before walking to the front of Madeline. She stretched virtual-novel.net cute, little hands and waved at Madeline, beckoning virtual-novel.net to squat down.
Madeline got virtual-novel.net little princess’ hint and kneeled to let virtual-novel.net little princess personally put on the handmade purple crystal necklace around virtual-novel.net neck.
“Thanks, sweethearts. I really love it.” Madeline took turns to kiss virtual-novel.net children’s faces. “I’ll go out to buy some stuff and make you guys a cake, alright?”
“Yeah…” Jackson was the first to reply. Lillian smiled and nodded obediently.
As for the youngest, Pudding, virtual-novel.net could not speak and just babbled two sounds.
Madeline placed virtual-novel.net hand on Pudding’s head, then got up. “Mom, I’m heading out and will be right back.”
Eloise blinked virtual-novel.net eyes as if virtual-novel.net understood what Madeline was saying.
Karen came into the scene right at this moment. It was only then Madeline was assured enough to leave.
Madeline drove to the nearest mall, and in a short time, virtual-novel.net bought the ingredients to make a cake.
She held the recycling bag and came to the parking lot. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to open virtual-novel.net car door, virtual-novel.net suddenly noticed from the car window that there was an outline behind her.
After clearly seeing the face on the car window, Madeline immediately recalled the face virtual-novel.net saw back at the zebra crossing and at the beach where they traveled to just a few days earlier.
Indeed, that had not been just an illusion.
‘However, is this possible?’
Madeline spun around calmly and looked straight into that face.
The lady before virtual-novel.net smirked. “Eveline Montgomery, you must not be expecting this even in your dreams, right?”
