Chapter 1338
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline heard Eloiseâs comment and was puzzled.
In the next moment, she once again heard Eloiseâs sigh of loneliness. âMy Eveline is not willing to bother a mother like me, so I thought that even this Eveline canât be bothered about me as well.â
As Eloise was talking, she picked up a snack that she just made and placed some of it in Madelineâs hand. âIf I knew you were coming, Iâd have made more of it since you said previously that you love it.â
Madeline blinked her gorgeous eyes. She wanted to say something but did not know what she should be saying.
Sean and Jeremy witnessed this scene that made them frown.
âI thought Eveline had recalled everything. I didnât expect her to just remember the old you.â
âIâm really speechless. Eveline ended up just like her mother, half-crazy and half-dumb.â
Sean sighed in sorrow and lifted his head to look at Jeremy who was wearing a wig and colored contact lenses.
âThe poison in your body, is it really possible to get rid of it completely?â
âI believe in Adamâs ability.â Jeremy had a confident look. At that moment, he was no longer suspicious of Adam.
In the meantime, he turned to look at Madeline with a gaze that looked as warm as the spring breeze.
âIâll keep Madeline company and be with her for an even longer time to come.â
Sean could sense Jeremyâs sincerity to Madeline and was not going to blame him for anything.
âHas Ryan been arrested?â Sean tried to get a picture of the situation.
âThereâs no news for now, but currently, heâs injured. Things arenât looking good for him. Iâm guessing that heâll be arrested in no time.â
Sean was relieved, but his expression was still tense.
âThis man must be locked up. Initially, I thought he was a gentleman but never did I expect his true color to be this terrifying. Eveline is a good girl, yet because of him, she ended up in this state! What a b*stard!â
Sean was exasperated and cursed.
Jeremy could comprehend Seanâs current feelings because that was what he felt as well.
He looked around the hotel room and asked Sean, âDad, letâs bring Mom back to Whitman Manor. Her current situation doesnât look too good. Itâll be better if more people are there to take care of her.â
Sean hesitated and frowned. âWell, you know it too that your mom and Eloise used to have huge fights with each other. Iâm afraid it wouldnât be as convenient.â
âMy mom knows sheâs at fault and has already changed a lot,â Jeremy added.
âBesides, the three kids are in Whitman Manor. If their maternal grandparents went over, theyâll be thrilled for sure.â
Speaking of the three kids made Seanâs eyes gleam with much more love. He no longer rejected the offer.
Seeing that Sean had agreed, Jeremy then made a call to Karen and explained the entire situation.
After hanging up the call, Jeremy and Sean took the luggage and headed toward Whitman Manor with their respective loved ones.
Karen had been waiting at the doorway for a long time. After seeing Eloise, Karen felt sorry for her as well.
Thinking back to the past, she knew that she had done lots of terrible things. However, apologizing now bore no meaning behind it. She thought she should pay more attention to Eloise during their stay together and take care of her.
After Elosie and Sean moved in, the atmosphere was more lively.
Jackson and Lillian were very happy. Although Pudding, the youngest child, could not express his emotions, they could see that he was very close to his maternal grandparents.
Jeremy thought of bringing Madeline back to the new house, but seeing that Eloise was reluctant to be apart from Madeline, he decided to stay for the night.
He would do what he did on any other day. He would wait till Madeline had fallen asleep before taking off his wig and colored contact lenses to prevent Madeline from treating him as a stranger and rejecting him.
The night was rather quiet. Jeremy felt that it had been a while since he felt content. The number of nights when he could hug her and protect her while she was sleeping was really less.
âLinnie, when will you recover?â
He sighed softly, then lowered his head to kiss her. He held her tightly as he hit the sack.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he vaguely heard Madeline calling out his name continuously.
Jeremy opened his eyes and suddenly heard Madelineâs terrifying shrieks. âNo! Save me, Jeremy!â
