“There are so many weird people in this world. How could she come to our house to kill herself? Was she trying to frame Eveline and Jeremy?”Eloise sighed after she heard that from the side. “Sigh, my Eveline is so unfortunate. Trouble hasn’t stopped even after so long.”When Madeline heard Eloise’s words that were filled with worry, she smiled and walked over.“Mom, don’t worry about me. I’m fine now.”Eloise lifted her eyes to look over. “Eveline, you’re back! What’s the situation now? Is that woman’s life in danger?”Madeline shook her head. “The doctor called Jeremy on our way back. They said she’s not in any danger.”“That’s good.” Eloise and Karen let out sighs of relief.Even though Hannah did a lot of things that annoyed them, her life was important too. They did not wish for something bad to happen to her.Karen asked the servants to clean the toilet and asked them to watch the door so that outsiders would not come in again.After the kerfuffle with Hannah, Madeline f
Hannah's eyes suddenly became sharp, and they were full of aggression. It was as if she had been triggered at the mention of Jeremy.“It has nothing to do with that, so don't overthink.” Madeline went back to the main topic. “Hannah, do you really not know who I am?”When Madeline asked that, she carefully observed the changes in Hannah's eyes.However, Hannah did not show the unnatural demeanor or behavior that Madeline thought she would. She was just very confused as she looked at Madeline a little bit incomprehensibly.“Sis, you’re my elder sister.” Her tone was affirmative, while her eyes looked weak and innocent. “Sis, I only have you now. Please don't abandon me.”“Hannah, I really am not…”Creak.As Madeline was explaining, the door of the ward was pushed open.Jeremy's tall and lean body instantly appeared in Madeline's vision.“Jeremy?” Madeline widened her eyes in surprise. “Why are you here?”Jeremy looked at Madeline with a serious face as he strode in.“Linnie,
Jackson was walking in front. He was surrounded by several cute and pretty little girls.However, Jackson seemed to have inherited Jeremy's cold temperament. No matter how enthusiastically the girls were when they talked to him, he just ignored them.As soon as he saw Madeline, he enthusiastically lifted his long legs and quickly ran over. Madeline stretched out her arms to the little guy and picked up the handsome boy who had run in front of her.However, the little guy seemed to be heavier than before.This showed that the child was slowly growing up.Madeline turned around happily as she carried her son.“That's Jackson's mommy.”“His mommy is so beautiful, so that’s why Jacky is also so handsome.”“But he doesn't play with us.”“My mommy said that all boys can't resist it when girls act coquettish. So, from tomorrow onward, let's all be coquettish to Jacky so that he’ll want to play with us.”“Okay.”After listening to this girl's suggestion, the other little girls res
Suddenly, she heard her son’s voice behind her. Madeline stopped abruptly as she was approaching the flower bed.Jackson hurried to Madeline’s side and grabbed Madeline's hand.“Mommy, it’s the evil woman.” Jackson could see Hannah’s face clearly and remembered that she was the evil woman who threatened Madeline with a fruit knife in the car.Madeline had also recognized that this woman was Hannah now. Hannah escaped from the hospital and actually came to Old Whitman Manor. Madeline figured that Hannah was here to find her.She did not want to care about Hannah anymore, but it was winter and it was still snowing at the moment. If Hannah continued to lie beside the flower bed, she would definitely catch a cold. She might even freeze to death.“Mom, leave her alone. I think this woman will suddenly attack you like last time.” Jackson reminded Madeline and took her hand tightly.“I know. I’ll be very careful,” Madeline said and put her coat over Hannah's body. “I’ll not waste my t
Hannah was freezing. She squatted in front of the entrance and curled into a ball as she shivered.When Jeremy was about to get out of the car, he spotted Madeline walking out.Madeline saw Jeremy’s car immediately. When she was walking over, she saw Hannah squatting by the entrance from the corners of her eyes.Hannah was here again.She was like a ghost that was always lingering around her.Madeline had already felt that something was not right when Hannah kept appearing in front of her so frequently.When she was about to ignore Hannah and ask the security guard from the building to deal with her, Jeremy got out of the car and walked toward her.She thought Jeremy was walking toward her but when he came over, he grabbed her hand and led her in front of Hannah.Hannah’s face was now red from the cold. She was leaning against the glass wall as she drifted in and out of consciousness.“Linnie, she looks like she has caught a cold. Let’s send her to the hospital.” When Jeremy p
Hannah's reminder sounded abnormally serious and full of concern. Madeline subconsciously looked at the charming eyes in the rearview mirror. Then, she said with a smile, “This is your brother-in-law. He’s very considerate and caring toward me. He won't bully me.”“You can never know what he’s thinking. Sis, don't be fooled by a person's appearance,” Hannah reminded her again solemnly.Madeline responded with a smile, “I know, I'll be careful.”Upon hearing Madeline's answer, Hannah seemed very satisfied and happy.She squeezed Madeline's hand and leaned her head on Madeline's shoulder happily. “Sis.”When she heard Hannah calling her ‘Sis’, Madeline had mixed feelings.Not long after, the car stopped in the parking garage of Old Whitman Manor.Jeremy got out of the car first and helped Madeline open the door.Madeline was about to get out of the car when Hannah looked at Jeremy in vigilance.“Sis, walk with me. I don't like this man,” Hannah said as she opened the car door on
“I'll take you home, but not now,” Madeline said and looked at Jeremy. Then, she said, “Go to the room with me and rest for a while.”Hannah seemed to want to say something, but when she saw that Madeline had turned around, she hurriedly followed her.“What a lunatic!” Karen gazed at Hannah's back.After she saw that Hannah had followed Madeline upstairs, Karen looked back and asked Jeremy with a calm expression on her face.“Jeremy, what the hell are you two doing?”Jeremy walked to the living room with a slight smile. He carried his son who was sitting on the sofa into his arms to play with him for a while, then he finally said, “We’re putting on an act but it’s not only me and Eveline who are acting.”Karen understood what Jeremy meant. “You mean that woman is also acting?”“Uh-huh.” Jeremy smiled. He gently pinched the little boy’s cheek with his fingers. “She keeps clinging to us and pestering us. I’m sure she still wants to harm Linnie, but she’s just looking for opportuni
When she remembered Hannah's hesitant and stunned expression when she told her that she was going to stay at home just now, Madeline was sure she was acting.Madeline knew her purpose.“Linnie, have you ever heard of this story?” Jeremy asked suddenly.Madeline looked into the man's eyes curiously. “What story?”“It's the story of a frog carrying a scorpion to cross a river.”When Jeremy said that, Madeline understood immediately.She knew the story, and she knew what Jeremy wanted to express to her.“Linnie, some people are just like that. It’s hard for them to change. Like a scorpion, she can't restrain the evil in her heart.” Jeremy looked as if he was educating a child as he spoke earnestly.He did not forget to pick up his youngest son and tap his little nose with his fingers.“Pudding, did you hear what I said? Let's be good people. We must not have the intention to harm others, but we must always be guarded against others. Don't be so trusting of others like your mommy.
