While this further increased Shirley’s suspicion, virtual-novel.net certainly was hungry.
She did not think that Madeline would do anything to the food, so virtual-novel.net started eating without worries.
When virtual-novel.net finished, Madeline had already changed the bedsheets.
“You ought to stay here for the time being.” Madeline walked up to Shirley. “I know you like Carter, but that doesn’t mean that you should follow that person blindly.”
“Heh. Eveline, are you teaching me how to conduct myself?” Shirley chuckled and asked. “Don’t you recall that you too had done a lot of stupid things for Jeremy back then?”
Madeline calmly smiled at that. “Back then, I loved virtual-novel.net so much that I had lost myself, but I never did anything that goes against my conscience or harms others, not even for him.”
“…”
Shirley, silent upon hearing that, momentarily did not know how to refute Madeline.
Unconvinced, virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lip, and virtual-novel.net eyes were hostile and doubtful. “Eveline, what on earth do you and your husband intend to do?”
Madeline curled virtual-novel.net beautiful lips slowly. “You should be grateful that you have a good brother.”
“…”
“Just think about it.”
After Madeline said that, virtual-novel.net turned and walked out the door.
Shirley saw that Madeline was about to leave. Although Shirley had regained a fair bit of virtual-novel.net energy after bathing and eating, virtual-novel.net thought about being locked up here for who knew how long. Seeing Madeline’s back, virtual-novel.net suddenly charged toward Madeline.
‘Eveline, thank you for your hospitality, but at the end of the day, I am not a good person, so I won’t fall for this!’
Shirley silently thought as virtual-novel.net suddenly reached out with virtual-novel.net hands and tried to pull Madeline back in to borrow virtual-novel.net momentum to run out.
However, Madeline quickly turned virtual-novel.net head.
Shirley was shocked. Before virtual-novel.net could react, Madeline grabbed Shirley’s wrist, restraining her.
“It’s not time for you to leave yet, so be obedient and stay here.”
Madeline released Shirley’s hand as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Shirley, still physically weak, stumbled backward and bumped into the bedside.
Madeline glanced at Shirley, then firmly walked out of the door and locked the door from the other side.
As virtual-novel.net was about to head downstairs, Madeline’s footsteps gradually came to a halt.
She looked at virtual-novel.net previous master bedroom, then suddenly turned and walked toward the room.
The door was ajar. After taking a step inside, Madeline felt an intense discomfort washing over her.
Scenes seemed to play in virtual-novel.net eyes. Scenes of the time when virtual-novel.net had been wronged and hurt in this very room.
The scenes in which Jeremy had ignored her, neglected her, and treated virtual-novel.net brutally played in virtual-novel.net mind like a movie, appearing one after another in virtual-novel.net eyes.
She had already let go of all these, but these scenes now flooded virtual-novel.net mind, bringing virtual-novel.net pain.
Madeline quickly turned to leave the bedroom, nearly running down the stairs as virtual-novel.net left.
When virtual-novel.net was outside the villa, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net heart was beating abnormally fast, and it seemed to have gotten more difficult to breathe. Those fragments of memories also persisted in virtual-novel.net mind.
Madeline staggered, suddenly recalling Shirley’s words from before…
