“Eveline?” Eloise snapped out of it and widened snazzynovel.com big, pretty eyes. She examined Madeline with a critical gaze. Then, snazzynovel.com shook snazzynovel.com head. “This is not Eveline, no.”
Madeline felt something within snazzynovel.com breaking into pieces when snazzynovel.com heard Eloise denying her.
She looked over at Eloise, who was behind Sean, with a cautious gaze as tears started flowing.
Madeline composed herself and said to Sean, “Why is snazzynovel.com this way? Why can’t snazzynovel.com recognize me? Dad, what’s going on?”
Sean let out a long sigh and said while feeling heartbroken, “It’s all because of Lana.”
“Lana?”
Sean nodded, his eyes gleaming with a deep hatred for Lana.
“Because of her, our courtyard was burned into ashes. Your mom thought that you were in trouble when the fire happened. Ever since then, snazzynovel.com keeps saying snazzynovel.com wants to look for you. Day in day out, snazzynovel.com would keep muttering your name hundreds of times, or even thousands of times…”
At that point, Sean choked. He grasped Eloise’s hand. His eyes were still brewing with the indescribable hurt and care snazzynovel.com had for Eloise.
“Soon after, your mom became like this because snazzynovel.com desperately misses you. Now, snazzynovel.com can’t recognize anybody but me. Not just that, but snazzynovel.com intelligence has declined as well. Occasionally, snazzynovel.com can’t carry out even the most basic day-to-day tasks.”
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com heart being pierced by a sharp blade after listening to Sean’s explanation. The hurtful feeling seeped deep into snazzynovel.com bone marrow.
“Let’s not bother about her, Sean. Let’s go look for Eveline!” Eloise looked at Madeline calmly. She grabbed Sean’s hand tightly, snazzynovel.com expression suddenly becoming anxious and worried. “Sean, do you think perhaps Eveline isn’t willing to forgive us? Is that why that kid went into hiding and doesn’t want to meet us?”
As Eloise spoke, snazzynovel.com started blaming herself. “It’s all my fault, it’s my fault. I didn’t recognize Eveline and mistook that bad lady as my daughter instead. I’ve let Eveline down and allowed snazzynovel.com to endure lots of suffering. I’m not a good mother. Eveline will never forgive me. She’ll never…”
Madeline continued crying when snazzynovel.com heard Eloise’s muttering that was full of self-blame.
She walked to the front of Eloise and grabbed snazzynovel.com hand. “Mom, Eveline has stopped being angry with you for a long time now. Stop blaming yourself. Eveline’s back now and will never be apart from you again, okay?”
Eloise frowned and stared at Madeline, looking absent-minded.
After some time, snazzynovel.com once again freed snazzynovel.com hands from Madeline’s grip and ran to Sean’s side. “This lady is very weird. She keeps saying she’s Eveline.”
Eloise kept shaking snazzynovel.com head when snazzynovel.com looked at Madeline. “No, this isn’t Eveline. You’d better stop lying to me. Eveline wouldn’t bother about me anymore.”
“…”
Madeline was hurt when snazzynovel.com heard it.
Sean was also feeling helpless. He comforted Madeline when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com being so sad. “Eveline, your mom is sick. She doesn’t mean it. Don’t take those words to heart.”
Madeline shook snazzynovel.com head gently. Of course, snazzynovel.com had no intention to blame Eloise. She was just upset and felt sorry for snazzynovel.com mother.
“Eloise, we have a guest here. Didn’t you already prepare some snacks? If they’re ready, then take them out for our guest to try.” Sean tapped on Elosie’s hand gently and reminded. As if snazzynovel.com was reassuring a little kid, snazzynovel.com was patient in guiding Eloise to carry out snazzynovel.com daily activities.
Eloise’s expression suddenly changed as snazzynovel.com put on a smile on snazzynovel.com face. She glanced at Madeline and smiled. “Please wait for a moment. I’ll go get you some snacks to eat.”
Madeline nodded, feeling snazzynovel.com insides writhing with sorrow. “Alright, I’ll wait for you “
“Mmm,” Eloise answered with satisfaction. She then spun around and left for the kitchen.
Sean went over and held Madeline’s hand. “Eveline, come sit beside me.”
Madeline went ahead and sat down. “Dad, do you still remember about the fire that broke out at our house that day? Why are you and Mom suddenly in Y Country now?”
