Eloise and Sean saw this scene when they were outside the room and their hearts were in excruciating pain.
They did not dare to go disturb them. At the same time, they did not dare to tell Madeline that Jackson was actually virtual-novel.net biological son without careful consideration.
Eloise covered virtual-novel.net mouth when virtual-novel.net saw this. She swallowed virtual-novel.net sobs and ran away quickly.
“Ellie!”
Sean called out to Eloise in a low voice. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline longingly before chasing after his wife.
Eloise went back to virtual-novel.net room and collapsed on virtual-novel.net bed. She covered virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net started bawling.
Even though Sean was also in debilitating sadness, as a husband and a man, virtual-novel.net had to be stronger and more composed than Eloise at this moment.
“Ellie, stop crying. Don’t be like this.” Sean patted Eloise’s shoulder and comforted her. “No matter what, our daughter is still alive and she’s living virtual-novel.net best life. We should be happy and proud of her.”
Eloise cried even harder after virtual-novel.net heard that.
Of course, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net should feel happy about that.
However, everything from the past resurfaced in virtual-novel.net brain. The scenes of virtual-novel.net hitting and yelling at Madeline were replaying in virtual-novel.net head, as well as the scene of Madeline vomiting blood and gasping for air because of virtual-novel.net sickness.
When virtual-novel.net thought about those, Eloise felt that it pained virtual-novel.net just to breathe.
“Why am I such a failure as a mother? Even if virtual-novel.net was just a stranger, I shouldn’t have hit or yelled at her…”
Eloise was blaming herself furiously. She lifted virtual-novel.net red eyes and looked at Sean.
“Sean, do you know? I used this hand to hit our daughter so many times. I called virtual-novel.net a vile woman and a b*tch. I even cursed that she’d go to hell. I told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net deserved to be abandoned by virtual-novel.net parents…
“How could I be so despicable? I even said that virtual-novel.net was just pretending when virtual-novel.net vomited blood from virtual-novel.net illness. I said virtual-novel.net only did that to get Jeremy’s attention!”
As Sean listened to Eloise, his eyes reddened as his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Eloise, stop talking. Please stop talking…” virtual-novel.net muttered. He was also involved in the horrible memories that Eloise mentioned. He had also been heartless and cruel to their daughter.
Eloise was crying like virtual-novel.net was a burst dam. She cried so hard that virtual-novel.net could not breathe.
“Sean, how could I have treated my daughter like this? What blinded me back then? I didn’t even notice that she’s our flesh and blood. She looked at me again and again with those eyes. Why didn’t I notice that virtual-novel.net eyes are almost the same as mine…”
“Same goes to me…” Sean lowered his head in remorse. “Every time I saw Eveline, virtual-novel.net gave me such a familiar feeling. However, with Meredith misguiding us, I completely lost my sense of judgment and hurt our daughter so deeply. Ellie, my heart hurt as much as yours.”
“Sean, I’m so ashamed to acknowledge Eveline. We’ve wronged that child so much…” Eloise fell into Sean’s arms and was in a state of despair.
Sean held Eloise and took a deep breath after virtual-novel.net closed his eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net sighed long and hard.
“You’re right. We are too ashamed to acknowledge the child. We also have no right to ask virtual-novel.net to come home.”
“Sean…”
“Ellie, let’s give the right to choose to our daughter.” Sean made a decision.
Eloise understood what virtual-novel.net meant. She did not want to make this decision, but virtual-novel.net was also scared that Madeline would refuse to acknowledge them after they exposed this secret.
Sean smiled and wiped away the tears on Eloise’s face.
“As long as our child is healthy and safe, I’ll be happy even if virtual-novel.net only calls me Mr. Montgomery.”
Knock, knock, knock.
After Sean said that, there were knockings on the door. Then, the maid’s voice came from outside the door.
“Sir, Madam, Young Master Jackson has already fallen asleep. Miss Quinn said she’s leaving and asked me to inform you.”
“Ask Miss Quinn to wait for us. We’ll go down now.”
Eloise and Sean washed their faces quickly in the toilet. After they recomposed themselves, they rushed downstairs.
When they saw the figure in their living room, Sean and Eloise called out with smiles on their faces, “Miss Quinn.”
