Under the darkness of the night, Karen relied on the streetlights to see the people in the car, the sight of which immediately made virtual-novel.net feel much more at ease.
Jeremy was the first to get out of the car after they parked. He then walked toward the backseat and opened the door, then carried Madeline out of the car.
When Karen saw this, virtual-novel.net could not help but worry.
She quickly walked toward Madeline who was being held by Jeremy. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s wet, red, and swollen eyes, virtual-novel.net got even more worried. “What happened? Eveline, are you feeling unwell?”
Madeline smiled at that, shaking virtual-novel.net head. “Don’t worry about me, mom. I’m fine. I’ve just twisted my ankle. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”
When Karen heard that, virtual-novel.net was even more worried. “How did you twist your ankle? How did it happen? Are you sure you’ll be fine after a few days?”
“Yes, definitely,” Madeline said with certainty, nodding. “You can ask Jeremy if you don’t believe me.”
Jeremy chimed in cooperatively when virtual-novel.net heard that. “She’ll recover if virtual-novel.net recuperates properly. No need to be too worried.”
“That’s good then.” Karen was only relieved then. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net remembered something. “Where’s Eloise? The maid said you were chasing Eloise. Where is virtual-novel.net now? Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly run out on virtual-novel.net own?”
“I’m here, Karen.”
Eloise’s voice sounded from the other side of the backseat.
Karen Leefted virtual-novel.net head to look over. When virtual-novel.net saw Eloise walking toward virtual-novel.net with a smile, Karen quickly walked over.
“Eloise, why did you run out suddenly? I’d only gone to the toilet and you disobediently ran out to play. Do you know that it’s dangerous if there’s no one with you? Don’t do this again next time.”
Karen scolded Eloise as if virtual-novel.net was lecturing a child.
She did not know that Eloise’s mental state had already recovered just a while ago.
Meanwhile, listening to Karen’s earnest scolding, Eloise nodded and promised seriously and obediently. “I know. I won’t make you guys worry about me from now on.”
“Good.” Satisfied, Karen smiled, then grabbed Eloise’s hand. “Let’s head into the house then. Sean and the others should be home soon as well. It’s nearly dinner time.”
Karen held Eloise’s hand as virtual-novel.net walked toward the house. However, after taking two steps, Karen still felt that something was amiss.
She looked at Eloise with curiosity and seriousness. “Eloise, it seems that you’re speaking much more normally than before.”
When Eloise heard this, a smile appeared on virtual-novel.net graceful face.
“Are you saying that I didn’t sound normal back then, Karen?”
“…”
When Karen heard that, virtual-novel.net abruptly stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks, and the look in virtual-novel.net eyes changed. “Eloise, you…”
Karen was evidently puzzled, especially when virtual-novel.net saw the calm and serious look on Eloise’s face.
This look could only be seen on a normal person who was also a refined and elegant woman.
“Eveline, Eveline, do you think that your mother seems a little odd?” Karen turned virtual-novel.net head to ask Madeline. She then asked Jeremy again, “Jeremy, what do you think? Eloise’s tone sounds different from before.”
Jeremy and Madeline shared a look and smile, then virtual-novel.net said, “Of course it’s different. She’s already recovered.”
‘Recovered?’
‘Recovered!’
Jeremy’s words went through Karen’s ears, and only after a while, Karen could register the unbelievable news.
