Chapter 1866

Ada, noticing that Madeline was gazing at her strangely, drew her hand back abruptly.

“Eveline, don’t you f*cking bother me any further! Otherwise, I’ll have the bodyguards throw you out!”

Ada warned Madeline impatiently and turned around quickly.

Afraid that she would be caught up again by Madeline, Ada intentionally quickened her pace.

Madeline quietly stood in the same spot. Her forehead creased slightly as she watched the back of Ada’s figure as Ada retreated. “She seems very pleased by this fire.”

As for Jeremy, he too had an inkling from what Ada had unintentionally blurted out earlier.

“Linnie, let me first accompany you to see Adam and Cathy for one last time.”

Jeremy took Madeline’s hand. As for the cause of the fire, he had already deduced some theories.

Through Jeremy’s connections in Glendale, they finally located where Adam and Cathy were placed.

It was the coldest place in the hospital, and also a place where no one wished to visit.

The door opened, and a chill rushed past them. Coupled with the cool spring weather, the cold was bone-chilling.

Madeline and Jeremy, however, were unbothered by this. They walked over to the two beds covered with white cloths. The mere sight of this dampened their spirits.

Madeline reached out with her hand, intending to remove the white cloth, but Jeremy gently held her hand.

“Linnie, perhaps we shouldn’t look,” Jeremy said, holding her back. He did this for no other reason than his concern for Madeline, who might get frightened.

However, Madeline was not afraid; instead, she was unfazed.

“Cathy and Adam were our good friends. While they were alive, they were beautiful and handsome people. Even if their attractive appearances are gone, they’ll always be beautiful in my heart.”

After hearing Madeline’s response, Jeremy felt that his thinking had been too shallow.

He released Madeline’s arm and did not stop her any further.

However, when Madeline slowly lifted the white cloth and saw an indistinguishable face, she burst into tears without warning.

That must be Cathy.

Although Cathy’s lively and cheerful appearance remained, all she could do now was lay there quietly.

“Don’t worry, Cathy. I promise to treat your children as my own and take good care of them. You don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll also make certain to seek justice for you and Adam.”

Madeline made a resolute vow with every word she said.

She placed the white cloth back in place and took a look at Adam.

Similarly, Adam had been burnt beyond recognition. It was too tragic to look at.

Madeline could not bring herself to look twice. She was not afraid, but it was truly agonizing for her.

After leaving, Madeline lingered at the hospital’s entrance for a long while before her emotional state could finally settle down. However, she could not accept that Adam and Cathy had been killed like this.

The following day, Madeline made her way to Gray Villa again. This time, however, she went alone.

Ada had just been surreptitiously observing how attentive Carter was to Shirley’s needs. Feeling upset, Ada went downstairs and presently saw Madeline walking toward her. Ada then immediately turned around and walked away guiltily.

Upon seeing Ada’s reaction, Madeline felt even more certain that something was amiss.

Madeline entered the house in a composed manner, a snarky smirk hanging on her lips.

“Mrs. Gray, you turned around to leave as soon as you see a guest. Is this the Gray family’s manner in receiving guests?”
