Jeremy stopped abruptly in his tracks. He heard Lillian calling out to Madeline non-stop, “Mommy, Mommy.”
Jeremy was shocked. Lillian could finally call ‘Mommy’.
However, snazzynovel.com did not say anything. He caressed Lillian’s head and continued walking to the car that was parked on the side of the road.
When Madeline saw Jeremy walking away, snazzynovel.com asked Carter, “How did you appear so coincidentally? Are you protecting your so-called fiancée from the dark?”
Madeline wanted to say snazzynovel.com was watching her, but snazzynovel.com could only tactfully say it was protecting.
Carter’s long and black eyes looked into Madeline’s eyes indifferently before snazzynovel.com walked forward.
“Follow me if you don’t want to hinder the treatment of your face.”
Madeline knew snazzynovel.com needed to redress snazzynovel.com face every day at a certain time. However, snazzynovel.com did not think that this man came all the way here to take snazzynovel.com to do snazzynovel.com redressing.
After they got back to the manor, the doctor took care of Madeline’s wounds according to Carter’s instructions.
She went without anesthetics today, so Madeline could clearly feel the stinging pain burning and spreading across snazzynovel.com face. However, a coolness gradually replaced the burning sensation.
When it ended, Madeline picked up the mirror to look at snazzynovel.com face. Perhaps it was because they had just taken care of the wounds, so they were slightly red and swollen. They looked even more hideous than before.
“Dr. Lane, how long will it take before scabs form?” Madeline could not help but ask. She was impatient now.
“Soon. It’s healing.” The doctor’s answer gave Madeline a lot of hope.
After snazzynovel.com said that, Carter walked in from the door.
When snazzynovel.com saw Madeline’s face, the reaction snazzynovel.com gave seemed natural. “Good recovery.”
He was calling this process good, and Madeline had no way to refute him.
He dismissed the doctor, and after snazzynovel.com was alone with Madeline in the room, snazzynovel.com asked nonchalantly, “Do you still have feelings toward Jeremy? You don’t look like you’re seeking revenge on snazzynovel.com but more like you’re taking care of snazzynovel.com and getting close to him.”
“…”
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. Did snazzynovel.com know about what happened last night in the study between snazzynovel.com and Jeremy?
“Why aren’t you talking?”
Carter asked and did not give Madeline any time to think of a reason.
However, Madeline did not panic. She calmly looked into Carter’s questioning eyes.
“Mr. Carter, the best way to avenge an old flame is to lower his defense and give snazzynovel.com some fake warmth. When snazzynovel.com starts to have feelings for you again, that’s when you dump him. Don’t you think it’s more fun that way, Mr. Carter?”
Carter listened thoughtfully, but the way snazzynovel.com looked at Madeline became weirder.
“Suddenly, I’m longing for the day your face recovers. I really want to see what a woman with such extraordinary opinions looks like.”
“…”
Madeline did not say anything but, of course, snazzynovel.com also wished for snazzynovel.com face to recover to the way it was.
However, could snazzynovel.com face go back to the way it was?
Madeline stayed the entire day in the manor. At dusk, snazzynovel.com left the manor herself.
She did not know whether Carter was asking someone to follow her, but snazzynovel.com did not feel like snazzynovel.com was being followed.
If snazzynovel.com really was, then Carter’s subordinates were highly skilled.
Madeline did not have much money, so snazzynovel.com could only take the subway. After snazzynovel.com got off the train, the sky had turned dark.
She walked in the direction of Whitman Manor but when snazzynovel.com stepped foot inside, snazzynovel.com saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
When the person saw Madeline, they turned around and lifted a sinister smirk. “I’ve been waiting for you, Eveline Montgomery.”
