The next day, Madeline bought some fruits and snazzynovel.com grandfather’s favorite snacks before going to the hospital.
She went directly to the room snazzynovel.com grandfather was staying in but realized snazzynovel.com grandfather was not there.
Madeline went to the reception to ask about this. When the nurse saw that snazzynovel.com was Len Samuels’ family member, the nurse looked at snazzynovel.com with a peculiar expression. Her tone was also unfriendly. “So, you’re Mr. Samuels’ granddaughter? Is this how you should behave as his grandchild? He has been dead for three years. Why are you still here? Go to the funeral parlor. His ashes are over there.”
Clank! The fruits in Madeline’s hands fell to the ground.
She widened snazzynovel.com blank eyes and was stuck in a daze. The pain started to penetrate snazzynovel.com entire body.
She thought snazzynovel.com heart was dead. She thought it was so numb that it would not feel any pain anymore. However, this suffocating pain was making it hard for snazzynovel.com to breathe.
Her grandfather was dead.
He had been dead for three years!
She had not even seen snazzynovel.com for one last time!
Madeline went to the funeral parlor and took snazzynovel.com grandfather’s ashes as well as his belongings.
It was in the evening of early winter and it was drizzling.
Madeline held snazzynovel.com grandfather’s urn and knelt in the rain. Tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks uncontrollably, blurring snazzynovel.com vision.
The hurt and regret caused snazzynovel.com heart to ache. She could never do anything to make up for it.
Ava ran over and held her, crying while comforting the other woman. “Don’t cry, Maddie. It’s all in the past. It’s all over now.”
With Ava’s help, Madeline found a burial plot for snazzynovel.com grandfather.
After paying snazzynovel.com respects to him, snazzynovel.com went back to the hospital to ask about snazzynovel.com grandfather’s death. The nurse replied nonchalantly, “He died of old age.”
Died of old age?
Madeline felt that something seemed fishy. Her grandfather was in tip-top shape the last time snazzynovel.com visited snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com got incarcerated. Why would snazzynovel.com die all of a sudden?
Even though snazzynovel.com was suspicious, snazzynovel.com could not suspect anything without evidence.
She found a butterfly-shaped gold pendant in snazzynovel.com grandfather’s belongings. Her real name ‘Eveline’ was carved on it.
Madeline subconsciously felt that this was a gift from snazzynovel.com grandfather to her. She felt a pang of pain in snazzynovel.com heart and put the necklace around snazzynovel.com neck with tears still in snazzynovel.com eyes. This way, it would be as if snazzynovel.com grandfather was always here with her.
She had been incarcerated for three years and could not keep up with the change of time in the outside world.
She wanted to find a job quickly, but snazzynovel.com was still unable to forget about snazzynovel.com child who was kidnapped after snazzynovel.com was inducted into labor.
Madeline brought snazzynovel.com resume for an interview at a new company. When snazzynovel.com was at the front door, snazzynovel.com saw Meredith getting out of an expensive car.
She would remember Meredith’s face even if snazzynovel.com had been burnt into ashes.
Madeline clenched snazzynovel.com fists. When snazzynovel.com started to feel an impulse rising in snazzynovel.com chest, snazzynovel.com heard one of the employees saying, “I’m so jealous of Meredith. Not only is snazzynovel.com Miss Montgomery from the four major rich families now, but she’s also going to marry my idol, Jeremy Whitman. She must’ve saved the universe in snazzynovel.com past life.”
When snazzynovel.com heard that, snazzynovel.com heart sank.
After snazzynovel.com asked about this, snazzynovel.com knew that Meredith was not the Crawfords’ biological daughter. She was the Montgomerys’ child who got wrongfully picked up by someone else 28 years ago, which meant that snazzynovel.com was Eloise’s biological daughter.
Three years ago, Meredith transformed from a girl of an average household into Miss Montgomery of the four major rich families in Glendale. Plus, snazzynovel.com even gave birth to a premature baby boy for Jeremy two years ago. The Montgomerys and the Whitmans all treated snazzynovel.com like snazzynovel.com was a gem.
Madeline was surprised by Meredith and Jeremy’s wedding. She thought Jeremy would have married the love of his life the moment snazzynovel.com went to prison.
However, the truth was that they were not married yet.
The interview went well and Madeline got the job. When snazzynovel.com thought about how Meredith was Eloise’s biological daughter though, Madeline felt unwell.
She tried to get more information about this matter. As such, snazzynovel.com went on the internet and saw Meredith posting a photo of a baby on snazzynovel.com Twitter account. It was a boy and snazzynovel.com looked about two years old. The little boy’s eyes and face looked almost the same as Jeremy’s.
