Hannah looked at Madeline who approached her, and after a brief pause, virtual-novel.net cried even harder now.
Madeline knelt slowly. “Don’ t cry.”
Through Hannah’s misty and teary eyes, virtual-novel.net saw a clean handkerchief appearing in front of her.
“Wipe your tears. Stop crying.” Madeline comforted, “If someone who cares about you knows that you’re crying so hard now, they will definitely feel distressed.”
Upon hearing Madeline’s words, Hannah laughed self-mockingly and spoke slowly.
“I’ve been the apple of my family’s eyes since I was a child, and my parents regarded me as their treasure. Gradually, I became very proud and complacent. I went to Gray Manor to be a maid not because I wanted to be a maid, but to prove myself.”
As Hannah said that, virtual-novel.net cried even harder.
Madeline squatted in front of Hannah, quietly and patiently listening to Hannah talk about the dissatisfaction and depression in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Soon after that, I was able to prove myself because only exceptional girls could work as maids in Gray Manor. After being validated, I became more and more complacent.”
“So, when you met Jeremy, you were confident that virtual-novel.net would have a good impression of you, but things didn’t go as you expected.”
Madeline stated what was in Hannah’s heart.
Hannah felt even more embarrassed; virtual-novel.net pale face gradually showed a look of shame.
Somewhat annoyed, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net fists. It was as if virtual-novel.net resented what virtual-novel.net had done all this time.
“Eveline,” Hannah called Madeline’s name, lifted virtual-novel.net eyes that had turned red from crying to look at Madeline. “Eveline, why did you save me?”
“Why do you ask such a silly question?” Jeremy asked in a low voice. “No normal person would watch a life die in front of them and do nothing.”
Jeremy’s explanation made Hannah even more ashamed.
She lowered virtual-novel.net head, and virtual-novel.net cheeks were red and hot from shame. “I’m so ashamed.” She laughed at herself. “How could I do so many shameless things?”
“There will be times when people will obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way. It’s good that you thought it through.” Madeline placed the handkerchief in Hannah’s hand. “Wipe your tears and look at the sky.”
Hannah was slightly stunned. She looked at the handkerchief in virtual-novel.net hand and slowly lifted virtual-novel.net hand to wipe virtual-novel.net tears. Without the tears blurring virtual-novel.net vision, Hannah lifted virtual-novel.net eyes to the sky.
The soft glow from the sunset fell on virtual-novel.net warmly. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt that everything virtual-novel.net had done before this was just a very humiliating farce.
“Eveline, you’re right I should feel lucky.” Hannah looked at Madeline. At this moment, there was no hatred that virtual-novel.net previously had in virtual-novel.net eyes. After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net looked at Jeremy shamefully.
“Mr. Whitman, you probably despise me, don’t you? I kept thinking that you’ll like me, and I thought something happened between us, but actually, nothing happened.”
The more Hannah said that, the more virtual-novel.net felt ashamed to look at Jeremy. “I am so sorry, Mr. Whitman.”
“You don’t need to overthink. I never had any feelings for you, and I never liked you. Plus, I won’t waste my emotions to hate you.”
Jeremy’s eyes looked sharp and overbearing. “You should instead apologize to my wife.”
When Hannah heard that, virtual-novel.net was stunned. She looked at Madeline, but after a long time, virtual-novel.net did not apologize.
Madeline did not expect virtual-novel.net to apologize anyway. When virtual-novel.net saw that Hannah had already calmed down, virtual-novel.net stood up.
