Jeremy stopped halfway through his sentence.
Madeline asked curiously. “What’s wrong with him?”
Looking at Madeline’s alluring eyes that were filled with curiosity, a subtle smile flashed across Jeremy’s handsome face.
“It’s fine. Go on about your business.”
He did not continue and walked past Madeline to leave.
Madeline turned virtual-novel.net body and looked at the empty doorway. At this moment, virtual-novel.net heart was already gone.
She felt as if virtual-novel.net was suffering in pain when virtual-novel.net was faced with the man virtual-novel.net loved and wanted to depend on the most, yet virtual-novel.net could not tell virtual-novel.net about virtual-novel.net pain and conflicts.
However, virtual-novel.net was indeed powerless at this moment.
Madeline walked to the bag Carter handed to her. After virtual-novel.net opened it, virtual-novel.net saw that the contents were just some daily necessities and clothes. The clothes looked simple and plain like virtual-novel.net had already prepared them for virtual-novel.net a long time ago.
“Carter.”
Madeline muttered.
‘What is this man planning?’
Madeline did not have a direction, so virtual-novel.net did not continue to make things difficult for herself by thinking about this.
She changed into another set of clothes and put on a new mask before looking for Eloise.
When virtual-novel.net went downstairs, virtual-novel.net saw the maid pushing Eloise back from the courtyard. As such, Madeline walked hurriedly over to her.
Madeline felt as if virtual-novel.net heart was bleeding when virtual-novel.net saw Eloise sitting on the wheelchair with a dumb expression on virtual-novel.net face.
She bent down slightly and gently held Eloise’s hand to give virtual-novel.net warmth.
“Mrs. Montgomery, I’m Quinny. From now on, I’ll do my absolute best to take care of you until the day you recover.”
Eloise started into Madeline’s eyes as if virtual-novel.net understood her. Then, the corners of virtual-novel.net lips curled into a smile.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart warming up. The darkness and fog in virtual-novel.net heart disappeared a great deal at that instant.
During dinnertime, almost everyone in the family was here except for Sean because virtual-novel.net was busy with the rebuilding of Montgomery Manor.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart aching, but at this moment, virtual-novel.net could only listen silently as a spectator.
During dinner, Madeline watched as Jeremy took care of the children while they ate. He did not talk much with the impersonator and it was obvious that this imposter was also inattentive.
Madeline knew that this woman had become perturbed because of Ryan’s death.
After dinner, Madeline took a walk with Eloise around the courtyard.
Eloise’s legs were fine, but virtual-novel.net still had not fully recovered virtual-novel.net energy yet, so virtual-novel.net could only depend on the wheelchair.
Madeline felt sick with worry when virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net mother had not recovered after such a long time. However, virtual-novel.net knew it would be useless for virtual-novel.net to be anxious. She could only slowly nurse Eloise back to virtual-novel.net normal state.
Madeline was coaxing Eloise like virtual-novel.net was a child. After virtual-novel.net tucked virtual-novel.net in bed, virtual-novel.net went back to virtual-novel.net room.
She removed virtual-novel.net mask, and when virtual-novel.net was about to relax and take a shower, virtual-novel.net heard the phone on virtual-novel.net bed ringing.
Aside from Carter, no one else would call her.
Madeline was about to pick up the call when suddenly, the lights in the room went out and the phone stopped ringing.
The room instantly plunged into darkness, and Madeline could only feel virtual-novel.net way to the door using the moonlight.
However, virtual-novel.net hand that was about to touch the doorframe touched a warm wall of flesh without noticing.
Madeline was shocked. When virtual-novel.net subconsciously tried to withdraw virtual-novel.net hand, the person pulled virtual-novel.net back with an even greater force.
She lifted virtual-novel.net head suddenly and in the dark, virtual-novel.net eyes met Jeremy’s deep and alluring eyes.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net was not wearing virtual-novel.net mask. Her hideous face was completely exposed to Jeremy’s eyes!
