Chapter 964

“No, Maddie, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. If Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery know about this, they won’t want you to blame yourself too.”

Ava’s comforting words caused Madeline to cry even harder.

She escaped from Ava’s arms and got out of bed quickly.

“Maddie, where are you going?”

“Dad, Mom… I have to see my mom and dad!” Madeline ran out of the room, asking everyone she saw in the long hallway, “Have you seen my mom and dad?”

Ava followed behind her. When she saw Madeline in this state, her vision was instantly blurred by her tears.

“Maddie!”

She chased up to her and grabbed her as her heart shattered into pieces.

“Maddie, don’t do this.”

However, Madeline ignored her and continued walking forward. Whenever she saw someone, she would ask them about Eloise and Sean.

After Daniel heard what happened to Madeline’s home, he rushed over quickly. However, the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Madeline walking over with tears streaming down her pale face.

She looked extremely haggard and as if she was delirious.

Daniel was petrified when he saw Madeline in this state. “Maddie?”

When he called out to her, Madeline looked at him. Upon seeing Daniel, she quickly walked over. “Dan, do you know where my mom and dad are?”

Daniel shook his head.

“Maddie, are you okay?”

Madeline did not answer him and only continued asking, “Then, have you seen Jeremy? He’s my husband and was the one who set the fire to kill my mom and dad. Do you know where he is now?”

“…”

Daniel was stunned when he heard that.

He did not know how to answer this question. He only looked at Ava who was approaching from behind Madeline.

“Maddie.” Ava held Madeline who was going through an emotional breakdown. “Don’t be like this, Maddie.”

Madeline sobbed, debilitating pain starting to invade her bones and flesh from every direction.

Finally, Madeline came to the morgue where Eloise and Sean’s bodies were.

This place was freezing, but Madeline did not feel cold at all. The coldness was nothing compared to how she felt right now.

Ava wanted to stay with her, but Madeline said she wanted to talk to her parents alone, so Ava decided to wait outside. Suddenly, Ava felt some discomfort in her stomach and went to the restroom.

The moment Ava left, Jeremy appeared at the door of the morgue.

The door was slightly ajar and through the gap, he could see Madeline dropping to her knees in front of the two beds with a loud thud.

“If we could do this again, I’d rather we never met. I’d rather you continue to treat Meredith as your biological daughter.

“I don’t blame you. I stopped blaming you a long time ago. When I had no one in those 20 years, I dreamed about having a father and a mother who loved and cared for me. Eventually, I found them, but I never expected us to have such a bad fate…

“I thought meeting a man I loved after losing the love of my parents would be the luckiest and happiest thing in my life. However, this proved that meeting him and loving him were the biggest tragedies of my life.

“I was wrong, Mom and Dad. Eveline was wrong…”

After she said that, Madeline heard familiar footsteps behind her. Then, the man’s deep and seductive voice went into her ears.

“You were indeed wrong. You were wrong for hitting someone you shouldn’t have.”
