Chapter 2328

Indeed, Raegan asked Madeline out to talk about this. She knew that it would be hard for her to talk to Ava now, so maybe it would be better to do things through Madeline.

However, recalling the scene at that time, Raegan still had an indescribable sense of guilt in her heart.

Madeline saw the torment and regret in Raegan's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she parted her lips and asked, “Last night, Ava told me while crying that you admitted that you deliberately abandoned her back then. But I’ve always felt that it’s not the case.”

Upon hearing this, Raegan sighed in remorse before she started speaking, “Ava is right. It’s true that I deliberately left her alone on the streets. I was even standing in the corner, watching how helpless she was. I just left without turning back.”

Madeline was surprised by Raegan's answer.

Was it really intentional?

Madeline’s heart ached for Ava.

No wonder Ava was so sad and disdainful. Which child could accept being abandoned by their biological parents like this?

No one could accept it.

“Why did you do it at the time?” Madeline felt indignant for Ava, so her tone was slightly aggressive. “It was our decision as mothers to give birth to a child. How could you abandon her just because you wanted to?”

“Mrs. Whitman, you’re right. You’re also a mother, so I think you can understand my feelings the best,”

Raegan lamented.

Madeline was a little confused, but she did not agree with Raegan's statement.

“I think it's hard for me to understand.”

Raegan knew that Madeline was a little angry at the moment, and she completely understood.

Suddenly, she smiled, feeling slightly relieved.

“If leaving the child is the best arrangement for them, will you do that?”

Raegan suddenly asked such a question, and the unease in Madeline's heart dissipated.

She looked at Raegan and suddenly seemed to understand how Raegan felt when she had to ‘

abandon’ Ava.

“If I could do it all over again, no matter how difficult the situation was, I wouldn't have left Ava to fend for herself. But I know that if I couldreally do it all over again, the result would still be the same. It’s because I have no way to defeat the disease that’s pestering me.”

Madeline fell silent again.

She listened to Raegan's explanation, and without her realizing it, the hot latte on the table gradually became cold. However, her heart was warmed by what Raegan was saying at this moment.

Madeline even felt tears in the corners of her eyes. She had the urge to cry.

‘Ava, your mother actually loves you very much. She really loves you.’

After hearing all the facts, Madeline understood Raegan a lot more.

“Why didn’t you tell Ava the truth? I believe she’ll be able to understand you, just like how I do. She'll even feel distressed for you.”

“How can I say that? No matter what, I did abandon her.”

“It wasn’t of your own volition.”

“That'll only become an excuse for me to leave Ava behind back then.” Raegan blamed herself. “ Plus, Ava’s father didn’t handle this well back then.”

Madeline nodded to show that she understood. “ I'll tell Ava about this.”

“You don’t have to deliberately mention this to Ava, Mrs. Whitman. I hope after you understand what I had to go through, you can take good care of Ava for me. Now that this has happened to Daniel, she doesn’t have the person she wants to rely on the most, is the closest to, and loves the most by her side. I’m worried that she’l] get anxious and do something stupid.”

“Don’t worry about this, Ms. Xander. Ava is my best friend. No matter what happens, I'll stay by her side and take care of her. I’ll comfort her, and T’ll let her rely on me. She’l] never fight this battle alone.”

Madeline promised solemnly.
