However, since Jackson was around, Eloise had to control virtual-novel.net anger.
“Vera.” Jackson lifted his head to greet Vera. There was a rare smile on his clean and smooth face.
Madeline smiled in return. “Jack, how are you?”
When Eloise saw this, virtual-novel.net face fell. “Jack, what did you call her? Do you know her? How would you know this evil woman?”
“Vera isn’t a bad person.” Jackson knitted his eyebrows together. The smile on his face disappeared gradually as virtual-novel.net became down and dispirited again.
“She’s a bad person! She’s the one who caused your mother to be hospitalized!” Eloise’s tone became awful. She glared at Madeline while gritting virtual-novel.net teeth. “Vera Quinn, stay away from my family. I’ll get back at you for what you’ve done to Mer!”
“Pretty Grandma, why are you screaming at my mommy?” Lillian said in a voice as soft as cotton.
Eloise finally spotted the little girl who looked about two to three years old next to Madeline.
She wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but when virtual-novel.net saw Lillian’s big eyes and doll-like face, virtual-novel.net was stunned.
She looked so much like her.
She looked exactly like Meredith when virtual-novel.net gave birth to her.
“What are you looking at, Mrs. Montgomery?” Madeline smiled and asked.
Eloise came back to virtual-novel.net senses and pointed at Lillian. There was suspicion in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net asked, “Is this your daughter?”
Madeline nodded. “Is there something wrong?”
“…” The expression in Eloise’s eyes changed. She inspected Madeline’s face profoundly for a while. Then, virtual-novel.net scoffed. “Hmph, Vera Quinn, so you have a daughter yourself? Have you ever thought about how heartbroken you’d be if your daughter gets hurt by someone? Do you really think my daughter has no mother who loves her?”
At the end of the day, virtual-novel.net was feeling sorry for Meredith again.
Madeline smiled. “I won’t allow anyone to hurt my daughter, but Mrs. Montgomery, are you sure you really love your daughter?”
“What do you mean?” Eloise asked in dissatisfaction. “Are you trying to incite disharmony between me and Mer again?”
Madeline looked at Eloise calmly. “What I said on the roof is true. Rose did say so herself that your biological daughter with Mr. Montgomery has been dead since three years ago.”
“Rubbish!” Eloise did not believe what virtual-novel.net said.
Madeline looked at the change in Eloise’s expression as virtual-novel.net heart ached dully. However, virtual-novel.net smiled calmly. “I’m not spewing rubbish. Time will give you the answer. However, I’m pretty curious. Did anyone around you die three years ago?”
“…” Eloise wanted to continue yelling at Madeline, but when virtual-novel.net heard that, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net heart throbbing.
She immediately thought of Madeline.
Madeline had died three years ago!
“Lily, say goodbye to Jack. We’re going home now.”
“Okay,” Lillian replied obediently and waved at Jackson.
Madeline looked at Jackson gently. He had been looking at virtual-novel.net the entire time. She felt reluctant. “Jack, I’ll see you soon.”
“Vera.” After Madeline turned around, Jackson called out virtual-novel.net name and escaped from Eloise’s grip. Then, virtual-novel.net ran in front of her. “This is for you.”
Jackson handed virtual-novel.net a simple crystal bracelet. The pristine crystals reflected brilliant rays under the sunlight. “I made this during art class. I hope you can always wear it.”
Madeline looked at Jackson’s expectant gaze dispiritedly. She felt waves and waves of pain in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Jack…”
“Jack, what are you saying to that evil woman? Come back here to Granny and we’ll go home now.” Eloise walked over hurriedly and grabbed Jackson before leaving. She did not even look at Madeline.
Madeline held Lillian’s hand and looked at the car that was driving away. She held the bracelet even tighter in virtual-novel.net hand.
After they went home, Madeline wore the bracelet around virtual-novel.net wrist carefully. It was such a simple bracelet, but virtual-novel.net felt that it was so beautiful.
She hated Meredith and Jeremy, but aside from the fondness virtual-novel.net felt for Jackson, virtual-novel.net also felt sadness.
After virtual-novel.net sought virtual-novel.net revenge from Meredith and Jeremy, would that child hate her?
The next morning, Madeline woke up early. She wanted to buy a present for Jackson in return for the bracelet virtual-novel.net gave her. However, when virtual-novel.net walked out of virtual-novel.net residential area, a car stopped in front of virtual-novel.net abruptly.
Two men in black rushed in front of virtual-novel.net and took out a handkerchief to cover virtual-novel.net mouth and nose. Madeline struggled for a while before losing consciousness.
