Madeline smiled and bent down next to Eloise to ask patiently.
Eloise peered at Naomi who was putting on a fake smile and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “L-Let me tell you a secret.”
“Secret?” Madeline was curious. However, virtual-novel.net also noticed something amiss with the way Eloise looked at Naomi. “Mrs. Montgomery, what secret do you want to tell me?”
Eloise lifted virtual-novel.net head and got closer to Madeline’s ear.
“That person is not my daughter.”
This statement went into Madeline’s ear clearly.
She was astonished. She did not expect that despite being delirious and sometimes even failing to recognize her, Eloise could clearly tell that Naomi was a fake.
“It’s true. I’m telling you the truth,” Eloise emphasized seriously.
Of course, Madeline knew what Eloise said was true. However, virtual-novel.net could not do anything to take Naomi down now.
She did not know who Carter was yet and there was another matter virtual-novel.net needed to take into consideration. Naomi was right. She did not have the courage to face Jeremy now.
She did not dare to look into his eyes after virtual-novel.net removed virtual-novel.net mask.
Naomi did not know what Eloise said to Madeline, but virtual-novel.net felt that something was amiss. However, virtual-novel.net did not ask.
Madeline did not display virtual-novel.net emotions. She smiled calmly and took care of Eloise while virtual-novel.net finished virtual-novel.net breakfast.
After the children went to school, Karen took care of Pudding so that Madeline could take Eloise for a walk in the park nearby.
Madeline felt that Eloise was getting much better compared to before.
Now, virtual-novel.net was able to say a complete sentence.
Madeline had pushed Eloise under the tree yesterday. When virtual-novel.net recalled what happened yesterday, virtual-novel.net was still a little scared. However, the good thing was that the child was fine.
When virtual-novel.net recalled what had happened recently, Madeline felt that perhaps God was testing virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net family.
Something bad had happened to virtual-novel.net and Eloise at around the same time back then, and now, Eloise could not even go on with virtual-novel.net life normally. On the other hand, Madeline did not even know if virtual-novel.net face could recover to the way it was before.
Clink.
She heard something falling behind her.
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses and saw Eloise pointing at the spot near virtual-novel.net foot. “It fell, the pendant. Help me pick it up.”
Madeline lowered virtual-novel.net head to see the gold butterfly-shaped pendant next to the wheelchair.
She quickly bent down to pick it up. When virtual-novel.net saw the engraving on the gold butterfly, virtual-novel.net suddenly remembered virtual-novel.net grandfather who raised her.
Even though virtual-novel.net was not virtual-novel.net biological grandfather, virtual-novel.net had given virtual-novel.net the best care and love.
He was not virtual-novel.net family, but virtual-novel.net was more than a family.
However, Madeline did not expect Eloise to have had this with virtual-novel.net the entire time.
“Eveline,” Eloise looked at Madeline and called out suddenly.
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart skip a beat. While virtual-novel.net was feeling distracted, Eloise took away the pendant in virtual-novel.net hand.
“Come, lower.” Eloise’s face was serious as virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net hand at Madeline with love.
Madeline was confused. However, virtual-novel.net still lowered herself as instructed by Eloise. She did not think that Eloise would put the necklace with the pendant around virtual-novel.net neck.
“Pretty. It looks the prettiest on Eveline.” Eloise praised Madeline, and it was obvious that virtual-novel.net was treating virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net birth daughter Eveline.
