Chapter 418

“Eveline…”

Eloise moved her lips and whispered the name.

Madeline was a little stunned, knowing that it was her real name.

“Mom and Dad are sorry. We’re really sorry. You had obviously shown up in front of us long ago, but we were blind. We hurt and mistreated you time and time again for that vicious woman Meredith…

“I know that there’s no way to compensate you in this lifetime. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely make up for the harm done to you…”

Eloise reached out her hand with tears all over her face and she suddenly hugged Madeline.

“Eveline, my Eveline…” she called out lightly in a trembling voice.

Perhaps she was in a trance, but looking at Madeline’s face, it was really hard not to be in a trance—

especially in the state of grief and indignation she was in at this moment.

Madeline silently let Eloise hug her tightly, a touch of wetness appearing in her calm eyes…

This was probably the first time she was experiencing a mother’s love. It turned out to be so warm. She cherished it.

Eloise let go after a long time.

“I’m sorry, Miss Vera, I lost my cool.” Eloise apologized sincerely. “Thanks for your help tonight, Miss Vera. If it weren’t for you, Diana wouldn’t have admitted so easily.”

Madeline smiled faintly. “It’s just a small matter, so don’t worry about it.”

She got up slowly, her face as undisturbed as ever. “Rest early, Mrs. Montgomery. Jeremy and I are going back now.”

“I’ll see you two off.”

Eloise looked at Madeline warmly and very politely sent her two guests to the main gate.

The car quickly drove far away, but Eloise and Sean’s gaze stayed.

They regretted everything they had done to Madeline, and now, only looking at this similar-looking face could they seek a bit of healing and comfort.

Unfortunately, this remorse could never be compensated.

The villa.

Madeline’s thoughts had not settled down completely even after she took a bath.

When she was young, she envied other children who had their parents’ accompaniment. She also blamed the gods and accused others as well as blamed her parents for not wanting her, but in fact, her parents loved her and thought about her.

Thinking of this, a warm current came from Madeline’s incomplete, injured heart.

Then, she thought about what had happened tonight again.

‘Diana? She said she handed me to her sister to take care of me. But since I have my memories, it was Grandpa who took care of me. There was no one else.

‘Diana? Len Samuels? What’s their relationship?’

Madeline pondered intently, completely unaware of the approaching footsteps.

Jeremy looked at Madeline who was standing on the balcony with subtle eyes. He approached her step by step and lightly parted his thin lips. “Madeline.”

Madeline, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard someone calling her. She instinctively turned around to respond, “Hmm?”
