Did the event of that year count as deliberate abandonment?
Perhaps, it did.
Madeline wanted to leave after virtual-novel.net sent Ava back to the apartment. However, virtual-novel.net got a call from Jeremy, so virtual-novel.net started talking on the phone with him. Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net saw Ava running out of the apartment while sobbing after a while. Madeline quickly hung up the call with Jeremy and ran to Ava after getting out of the car.
“Ava!”
Ava did not think that Madeline would still be here. However, when virtual-novel.net heard Madeline’s voice at this moment, the grievances in virtual-novel.net heart poured out immediately.
“Maddie!”
Ava quickly ran into Maddie’s arms and started crying.
“Ava, what happened? Why are you crying so badly?”
Madeline felt virtual-novel.net heart tightening. “What happened? Is your mother not home? Or did virtual-novel.net tell you an answer you didn’t want to hear?”
“They admitted that they weren’t at all concerned when they purposely left me on the streets back then!” Ava yelled as virtual-novel.net bawled. “They deliberately abandoned me!”
Madeline was shocked when virtual-novel.net heard Ava. At that moment, virtual-novel.net did not know how to comfort Ava. If they did abandon virtual-novel.net on purpose, then Ava would only get hurt a second time if virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net to go ask for the truth once more. Madeline held Ava close, feeling distressed. She did not say anything anymore.
The passersby did not understand why Ava was crying while hugging Madeline. They only thought that Ava must have broken up with virtual-novel.net lover.
Madeline ignored the glances from the passersby. She only held Ava to try to give virtual-novel.net warmth and assurance. After a long while, Ava finally stopped crying.
The night wind blew over and dried the tears on virtual-novel.net face.
Ava sniffled, and suddenly, virtual-novel.net acted as if nothing was wrong. She said calmly, “Maddie, can I spend the night at your house again?”
“Of course. Let’s go home.” Madeline quickly opened the door of the passenger seat for Ava.
Ava did not cry anymore. She got into the car silently and was quiet the entire journey.
Madeline brought Ava home, and Jeremy was already waiting in the living room. At first glance, virtual-novel.net could tell that Ava’s complexion was not right. He wanted to ask, but when virtual-novel.net saw the look in Madeline’s eyes, virtual-novel.net obediently picked up his youngest son and stood at one side.
Madeline went to the room with Ava. Ava said virtual-novel.net was tired and wanted to sleep after showering. Therefore, Madeline did not disturb virtual-novel.net anymore. However, virtual-novel.net told Ava that virtual-novel.net could call out to virtual-novel.net whenever virtual-novel.net needed anything.
After Ava answered, Madeline went out.
After virtual-novel.net closed the door, virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy walking over to virtual-novel.net with a worried look on his face. “Linnie, is virtual-novel.net okay?”
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “Let’s talk in the room.”
Jeremy followed Madeline obediently and did not ask anymore. They went back to the room, but Madeline received a call from Raegan the moment virtual-novel.net wanted to speak with Jeremy.
