Madeline smiled and bent down next to Eloise to ask patiently.Eloise peered at Naomi who was putting on a fake smile and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “L-Let me tell you a secret.”“Secret?” Madeline was curious. However, she also noticed something amiss with the way Eloise looked at Naomi. “Mrs. Montgomery, what secret do you want to tell me?”Eloise lifted her head and got closer to Madeline’s ear.“That person is not my daughter.”This statement went into Madeline’s ear clearly.She was astonished. She did not expect that despite being delirious and sometimes even failing to recognize her, Eloise could clearly tell that Naomi was a fake.“It’s true. I’m telling you the truth,” Eloise emphasized seriously.Of course, Madeline knew what Eloise said was true. However, she could not do anything to take Naomi down now.She did not know who Carter was yet and there was another matter she needed to take into consideration. Naomi was right. She did not have the courage to face Jeremy n
To be honest, she was indeed Eveline.Madeline felt a pinch in her heart. She did not know whether Eloise felt something too.She slowly squatted in front of Eloise and lifted her hand to grab Eloise’s hand. When she felt the warmth of the touch, she could not help but pour out her grievances to Eloise.“Mom, I’m Eveline,” she said softly. She felt that she could only let down her facade in front of Eloise.Eloise had not fully recovered yet, so she would not know what Madeline was talking about. Therefore, Madeline had a chance to release the weight in her heart this way.When Eloise heard this, there was a glint in her eyes. It seemed as if an abundance of motherly love, gentleness, and benevolence were surging up from within her and enveloping Madeline warmly.Madeline felt the warmth, and she did not think twice before pouring out all of the grievances and truth in her heart.“Mom, the person who looks like me is Ryan’s ex-girlfriend. She took the opportunity on the day I we
When Madeline saw Naomi’s sinister smile, she felt that something was off.Actually, Naomi was good at restricting her because she had too many considerations.Her lover and family whom she cared about were all her weaknesses.As such, Naomi used this point to attack her.Naomi looked around and suddenly lifted her leg to kick the back of Eloise’s wheelchair.The wheels of the wheelchair were locked, but perhaps Naomi was too strong so the wheels slipped and the wheelchair started speeding forward uncontrollably.“Mom!” Madeline ran without hesitation to stop the wheelchair from moving.The wheelchair was heading toward the lake. If Eloise fell, Madeline did not dare to imagine what would happen.She sped ahead and grabbed the handles of the wheelchair to pull it back.Fortunately, Eloise did not fall into the lake. However, Madeline felt a shadow looming behind her suddenly.A second later, Naomi lifted her hand to push Madeline into the lake when Madeline was least expectin
“She might have already died.”“Tsk, how sad.”The passersby started to feel sorry for Madeline.However, when Naomi heard all these, she felt extremely satisfied.‘Eveline, it’s best if you died!‘This is what you get for killing Rye!’She cursed in her heart to vent her anger. However, when she was feeling pleased with herself, she saw some ripples in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the lake.Madeline was drenched, and she lifted her hand to push away the short wet hair in front of her forehead. A lot of people thought that she looked extremely seductive when she did that.She turned her face around, her mask sticking to her skin. No one could see Madeline’s face, but her clear and sharp eyes were looking extremely domineering. The passersby were all mesmerized by her piercing eyes.Madeline ignored the people who were watching her. Her sharp gaze penetrated the crowd and landed on Naomi’s face. Then, she swam back to shore calmly. She did not need an
When Madeline heard this, she could expect what Naomi was going to do next.However, one of her hands was holding Eloise’s hand and she did not want to push Eloise away. When she was about to turn her head away from Naomi, Naomi quickly pretended to get close to her to whisper in her ear when in reality, she did it to rip the mask from her face.Her face was wet from the lake water. Aside from the liveliness and the beauty of her eyes, the hideous scars that were left on her face after she was burned entered everyone’s vision.“Damn! What’s wrong with her face?”“No wonder she’s wearing a mask.”“My gosh, how sad. What happened to her face? It looks like she has been burned.”“Tsk, tsk, how terrifying. Stop looking.”The passersby exclaimed from shock. Some even turned their heads to avoid looking at Madeline’s face.Others had been recording the entire time, so they captured this scene and uploaded it online.When Naomi heard the reactions of the people around her, she was de
Suddenly, Madeline became very pessimistic, especially after she saw Naomi’s arrogant, confident, and pleased face when Naomi was sure that she did not have the guts to face Jeremy. Madeline could not accept this.She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She kept on telling herself to calm down.However, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she could not keep calm.She turned around and forced herself to not look in the mirror.She stood with her back to the mirror for a very long time. She endured the discomfort on her face when suddenly, she remembered something and there was a glint in her dull, lifeless eyes.Perhaps she should try it.Madeline thought about it and put on her clothes and mask.When she was about to go out, she heard knockings on the door.Madeline walked over to open the door. To her surprise, she saw Jeremy upon opening the door.Their eyes met, and Madeline was slightly taken aback. However, she pretended to stay calm. “How can I help you, Mr.
The moment Madeline removed her mask, Adam and Amy displayed shocked expressions at the same time.Adam was confused. “What happened to your face and voice? No, but during the incident in the park near your house this morning, your face was…”After Madeline heard this, she understood immediately.Someone must have posted the video of that incident online and Naomi was probably in the video as well.Naomi was currently using her identity.Her face had been perfectly captured in the video.Looking at Adam’s confused face, Madeline did not beat around the bush anymore. “That’s not me. The Eveline you saw is Naomi.”“Naomi?”Adam immediately understood. He remembered how Naomi had also followed Ryan to Y Country when he was there and after that, Ryan secretly arranged for Naomi to do something.As it turned out, he had arranged for Naomi to undergo plastic surgery.However, Adam was still in shock. He looked at Madeline’s face in disbelief.Aside from her eyes, there was no plac
“The twins don’t belong to you and Cathy, right?”After Adam heard that, he unfurrowed his tightly knitted brows.He looked at Cathy who was playing with the children before getting up. “Amy, I’m taking the patient to my office. If you feel bored, you can take the children out first. I’ve already made the reservation for the restaurant.”When Amy heard that, she turned around and looked at Madeline before nodding.“Go on with your business. I’ll wait for you.”“Okay.” Adam smiled warmly and pointed to the office. “Come with me.”Madeline nodded and followed after him. She remembered the last time she came here was for Jeremy’s treatment. She did not think that today would be her turn.Adam did not answer the questions about the two children. On the other hand, he helped Madeline check the wounds on her face carefully and considerately.After the check-up, he looked at two reports seriously.“Adam, tell me the truth. Do I really have the chance to recover my face?” Madeline ask
