Ada, noticing that Madeline was gazing at virtual-novel.net strangely, drew virtual-novel.net hand back abruptly.
“Eveline, don’t you f*cking bother me any further! Otherwise, I’ll have the bodyguards throw you out!”
Ada warned Madeline impatiently and turned around quickly.
Afraid that virtual-novel.net would be caught up again by Madeline, Ada intentionally quickened virtual-novel.net pace.
Madeline quietly stood in the same spot. Her forehead creased slightly as virtual-novel.net watched the back of Ada’s figure as Ada retreated. “She seems very pleased by this fire.”
As for Jeremy, virtual-novel.net too had an inkling from what Ada had unintentionally blurted out earlier.
“Linnie, let me first accompany you to see Adam and Cathy for one last time.”
Jeremy took Madeline’s hand. As for the cause of the fire, virtual-novel.net had already deduced some theories.
Through Jeremy’s connections in Glendale, they finally located where Adam and Cathy were placed. It was the coldest place in the hospital, and also a place where no one wished to visit.
The door opened, and a chill rushed past them. Coupled with the cool spring weather, the cold was bone-chilling.
Madeline and Jeremy, however, were unbothered by this. They walked over to the two beds covered with white cloths. The mere sight of this dampened their spirits.
Madeline reached out with virtual-novel.net hand, intending to remove the white cloth, but Jeremy gently held virtual-novel.net hand.
“Linnie, perhaps we shouldn’t look,” Jeremy said, holding virtual-novel.net back. He did this for no other reason than his concern for Madeline, who might get frightened. However, Madeline was not afraid; instead, virtual-novel.net was unfazed.
“Cathy and Adam were our good friends. While they were alive, they were beautiful and handsome people. Even if their attractive appearances are gone, they’ll always be beautiful in my heart.”
After hearing Madeline‘s response, Jeremy felt that his thinking had been too shallow. He released Madeline’s arm and did not stop virtual-novel.net any further.
However, when Madeline slowly lifted the white cloth and saw an indistinguishable face, virtual-novel.net burst into tears without warning.
That must be Cathy.
Although Cathy’s lively and cheerful appearance remained, all virtual-novel.net could do now was lay there quietly. “Don’t worry, Cathy. I promise to treat your children as my own and take good care of them. You don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll also make certain to seek justice for you and Adam.”
Madeline made a resolute vow with every word virtual-novel.net said. She placed the white cloth back in place and took a look at Adam.
Similarly, Adam had been burnt beyond recognition. It was too tragic to look at.
Madeline could not bring herself to look twice. She was not afraid, but it was truly agonizing for her.
After leaving, Madeline lingered at the hospital’s entrance for a long while before virtual-novel.net emotional state could finally settle down. However, virtual-novel.net could not accept that Adam and Cathy had been killed like this.
***
The following day, Madeline made virtual-novel.net way to Gray Villa again. This time, however, virtual-novel.net went alone.
Ada had just been surreptitiously observing how attentive Carter was to Shirley’s needs. Feeling upset, Ada went downstairs and presently saw Madeline walking toward her. Ada then immediately turned around and walked away guiltily.
Upon seeing Ada’s reaction, Madeline felt even more certain that something was amiss.
Madeline entered the house in a composed manner, a snarky smirk hanging on virtual-novel.net lips.
“Mrs. Gray, you turned around to leave as soon as you see a guest. Is this the Gray family’s manner in receiving guests?”
