Eloise was vehemently glaring at the driver when she heard a sudden call from behind.She was staring blankly ahead, then her gaze instantly softened.Eloise turned around abruptly and sped toward Madeline.Eloise, still very emotional, reached out her hand to touch Madeline’s cheek. “Eveline, how are you? Are you okay? How’s your leg? Let me see.”Eloise squatted as she spoke, reaching out her hand, gently touching Madeline’s twisted ankle. It was clear that Madeline’s ankle was red and swollen.“Are all of you sick in the head? If you want to reminisce, go home! Don’t get in the way of my delivery!” snapped the truck driver, his head poking out from the window.Jeremy lifted his cold, stern eyes. “Do you think you’re still in the right when you’re the one speeding? Someone had clearly fallen on the road, yet not only did you not stop, but you continued to speed. Do you want your license to get revoked?”“...”Looking at Jeremy’s cold, steadfast, handsome face, the truck drive
With the doctor’s confirmation, Eloise was finally more at ease.Upon seeing this scene, Madeline asked Jeremy to put her down.Eloise too walked quickly toward Madeline with loving eyes and a smile on her face.“Thankfully it won’t be much of a problem. I was truly scared just now. Let’s go home now.”Madeline gave Eloise an earnest look and smiled. “Mom.”Eloise nodded at that. “Yes, Eveline. Let’s go home now.”“Mom,” Madeline called out again.Eloise was about to respond when she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.The smile on her face froze, and her expression too was dazed.It seemed that, at this moment, she realized it.She stared straight at Madeline, tears moistened her eyes without her noticing. Eloise only spoke a while later; her voice was soft, trembling slightly.“Eveline…”Madeline’s eyes misted over with tears as well.She looked into Eloise’s kind and gentle eyes and nodded slightly. “Mom, I’m Eveline. The Eveline you’ve been thinking about
Under the darkness of the night, Karen relied on the streetlights to see the people in the car, the sight of which immediately made her 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, she could not help but worry.She quickly walked toward Madeline who was being held by Jeremy. When she saw Madeline’s wet, red, and swollen eyes, she got even more worried. “What happened? Eveline, are you feeling unwell?”Madeline smiled at that, shaking her 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, she 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 cooperative
Karen looked at Eloise who was smiling at her softly in shock. After a while, she grabbed Eloise’s hand in surprise once again.“Really? Eloise, have you really recovered? Do you remember what happened back then? Do you recognize Eveline now?”If it were back then, Eloise would not believe that a woman who had been so against her would be so concerned about her one day.However, during the days they spent together, she had truly felt Karen’s kindness and friendliness.Eloise tightly grabbed Karen’s hand back and her beautiful eyes were glistening with tears.“Yeah, I recognize my daughter, Eveline. And I remember what happened back then. I also remember how you didn’t mind and cared for me in every possible way when I lost my mind and was so foolish.“If you hadn’t taken care of me during this period, I might not have recovered at all.”“Eloise, I’m so thankful for you and I want to apologize to you. Back then, we were always at each other’s throats which led to a lot of conflic
Jeremy abruptly stopped applying the ointment.Actually, it had been so long and he still did not understand Fabian’s actions.However, he was sure that Fabian had gotten some news from somewhere that led to him suddenly resisting them.Perhaps, that person had given Fabian false news that was detrimental to Jeremy and Madeline.However, even though Fabian was still young, Jeremy thought that he was not someone who was brainless and would be easily manipulated by others.“Linnie.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hands softly and got up to sit next to her. He pulled her into his arms. “Linnie, after we raise the kids, I want to find a suburb that’s near the mountain and the ocean so that we can finally live a life with just the two of us.”Jeremy voiced the wonderful expectation in his heart. He was planning for this happy and blissful future while sincerely working hard to realize it. Meanwhile, he also hoped that Madeline would be able to forget her troubles at this moment.Madeline
“How is it difficult? Every child that you’ve treated has recovered!”“Yes, but those children are lucky. I don’t know if she’ll be lucky as well.” Evan softly raised his eyebrow and there was a troubled look on his handsome face.“Fabian, after my examination, I’m sure that her previous doctor has misdiagnosed this little girl.”“Misdiagnosis?” Fabian’s heart started racing, and there was an expectant look in his eyes. “You mean that Lily is not sick at all?”“No.” Evan’s expression looked more solemn now. “She’s sick, and it’s even more serious than what was diagnosed before. This is why she hasn’t gotten any better after all this while.”“...”Fabian did not know what to say to that. He felt as if his heart had been split open and there was a bone-chilling coldness that spread to his limbs.He felt dazed, but he still remembered what he wanted to ask. However, his tone sounded weak when he spoke.“What are we going to do now? Is she still curable?”“Yes,” Evan gave Fabian a
A cold and deep masculine voice sounded from the other end of the phone.“You’ve already had his daughter for a while so why aren’t there any updates? Don’t you want to seek revenge on behalf of your siblings?”Fabian frowned after he heard that. A look of indignation appeared on his youthful and handsome face.“I don’t need to tell you whatever I’m doing,” Fabian said in dissatisfaction.“But the only reason you know about the truth of your siblings’ deaths is because of me.“Fabian, even though your sister was not a pitiful person, she was still your sister. As for Yorick, you know very well how he treated you. Do you want the people who caused them to die to continue to live in this world freely?“Now that this child is with you, it’s your best chance to retaliate against them. Don’t hesitate. You’re just giving Jeremy opportunities if you hesitate.”The man was hinting at something through his words. At the same time, his tone sounded like a spell that was playing with Fabia
Madeline felt the corners of her eyes turning hot from emotions. She had not heard this child talk in so long.Now, she finally heard her talking again.That sweet voice was so clear and melodic.Madeline saw a small figure in front of her and it was Lillian’s silhouette.Madeline reached out her hand to grab Lillian and she finally grabbed a hand. However, she suddenly jolted awake and what came into her vision was Jeremy’s handsome face that was filled with worry.“Linnie, did you have a dream about Lily?” Jeremy approached her and asked gently.Madeline looked at her clenched fist and came back to her senses.The happiness she felt just earlier immediately turned into endless disappointment.“Yeah, I had a dream about her. I heard her talking to me too and she wanted me to go look for her.”“Linnie…”Knock, knock, knock.When Jeremy was about to ask Madeline more questions, they heard someone knocking on the door of the lab.The secretary pushed the door open and came in
