The little princess called Madeline virtual-novel.net mommy again.
Madeline could not express the excitement virtual-novel.net was feeling right now with words. However, the overflowing joy in virtual-novel.net eyes was evident.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s twinkling eyes and approached Madeline with Lillian in his arms.
“I think my daughter likes you a lot. Can you help me hold this child to comfort her?”
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to say that. Of course, Madeline would be more than happy to.
She nodded quickly and reached out virtual-novel.net hands to hold Lillian.
When Naomi saw this from the living room, virtual-novel.net felt agitated and nervous.
Was this because blood was thicker than water and Lillian was virtual-novel.net flesh and blood?
Was that why the little thing could sense the woman holding virtual-novel.net right now was virtual-novel.net birth mother?
Naomi clenched virtual-novel.net fists in silence when virtual-novel.net saw Madeline carrying Lillian upstairs. Plus, virtual-novel.net also gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
She could not let this continue. If the little girl had this feeling, it meant that Jeremy would know who was the real Eveline Montgomery sooner or later.
Naomi pondered silently and felt that virtual-novel.net could not sit still and do nothing.
She did not have anyone left. She no longer had Ryan’s orders and instructions, so virtual-novel.net had to depend on herself.
Madeline carried Lillian to virtual-novel.net room where Jackson was doing his homework.
“Miss Quinny,” Jackson greeted politely as virtual-novel.net blinked his lively wide eyes. “What’s wrong with Lily? Why are virtual-novel.net eyes red?”
After Lillian heard what Jackson said, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net crystal clear wide eyes aggrievedly.
Madeline patted the child’s back while feeling pitiful. She sat down on the sofa with Lillian.
“Good girl.”
She caressed the little girl’s head comfortingly. She wished that virtual-novel.net voice would sound nicer now. At least, virtual-novel.net did not want it so hoarse and grave because it did not sound gentle at all.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest without saying a word while virtual-novel.net played with virtual-novel.net fingers.
Madeline remembered what Naomi said just now. After staying silent for a while, virtual-novel.net asked Lillian probingly, “Lily, tell me where does it hurt?”
Lillian understood what Madeline was saying. She reached out virtual-novel.net adorable finger and pointed at both of virtual-novel.net arms.
Madeline quickly rolled up Lillian’s sleeves. It would be better if virtual-novel.net had not looked. After virtual-novel.net took a look, Madeline wanted so badly to rip Naomi into pieces.
She spotted the red and purple bruises on virtual-novel.net daughter’s arms and could tell how violently Naomi had treated her.
Naomi knew Lillian could not speak and virtual-novel.net was a slow, adorable little girl, so virtual-novel.net chose to take action against this child.
She would hesitate if it was Jackson.
“Why are there red spots on Lily’s arms?” Jackson furrowed his brows in concern, looking worried.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest aggrievedly. “Mommy, Mommy.”
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart aching as virtual-novel.net held the little princess in virtual-novel.net arms tightly.
“Lily, Mommy won’t allow you to get hurt for no reason.”
Madeline finished saying that as calmly as virtual-novel.net could. Then, virtual-novel.net placed Lillian on the sofa, got up, and told Jackson, “Jack, watch your sister. I need to go out for a bit and I’ll be back soon.” Madeline turned around suddenly.
“Where are you going?” Jackson asked curiously behind Madeline.
Madeline suppressed virtual-novel.net anger and turned back to smile gently at the child.
