“…”
Almost immediately, Madeline sensed that perhaps Jeremy was back after seeing Naomi’s sudden performance.
At the same time, Madeline also understood what Naomi meant by ‘experiment’.
Naomi pushed snazzynovel.com away exaggeratedly and sat on the ground to pretend snazzynovel.com had just fallen. She yelped in pain, “Ah!”
“What happened?” Karen’s surprised and curious voice sounded from afar.
Madeline quietly watched as Naomi looked provokingly at snazzynovel.com from the ground. For some reason, snazzynovel.com heart started beating anxiously.
She remembered back when Meredith had impersonated her.
The man snazzynovel.com loved the most and snazzynovel.com family snazzynovel.com was closest to decided to believe Meredith’s lies, abandoning snazzynovel.com instead.
When Madeline was stuck in a daze, snazzynovel.com sensed the familiar footsteps and air behind her.
Madeline thought the first thing Jeremy would do was to help Naomi up, but instead, snazzynovel.com stopped next to snazzynovel.com and handed snazzynovel.com a mask.
“Put this on.”
Jeremy said those three words gently to Madeline.
This action shocked Madeline and Naomi at the same time.
Naomi reacted quickly and called out aggrievedly, “Jeremy, my leg hurts. I don’t know what happened to Quinny and why snazzynovel.com suddenly got angry with me. She even pushed me.”
After Naomi slandered her, Sean walked to snazzynovel.com side and bent down to help snazzynovel.com up. “Eveline, are you okay? What happened?”
Naomi shook snazzynovel.com head aggrievedly and looked at Madeline. “It’s nothing, never mind. Maybe Quinny is in a bad mood.”
Sean walked to Madeline after snazzynovel.com heard that. Even though the night was dark, the light from the street lights was enough to make snazzynovel.com see the burns on Madeline’s face clearly.
He was extremely shocked. At the same time, snazzynovel.com felt heartbroken and pitiful for some unknown reason. He did not expect Madeline’s face to be so badly disfigured.
“Jeremy, Dad, don’t blame Quinny. She’s a woman, and snazzynovel.com face was disfigured so badly. It’s only normal for snazzynovel.com to be in a bad mood. I’m fine. She only pushed me a little, it’s no big deal.” Naomi pretended to be understanding toward others, and snazzynovel.com performance was natural and unrestrained.
Madeline peered coldly at Naomi’s performance before saying, “I’m not in a bad mood. I purposely pushed you because you disgust me.”
“…” Naomi did not expect Madeline to talk back to snazzynovel.com like that.
Sean was also shocked. However, Jeremy’s reaction was calm.
Madeline reached out snazzynovel.com hand to grab the mask Jeremy handed to her. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. I’m going back to my room. I’ll go and take care of Mrs. Montgomery afterward.”
“You’re exhausted from saving Lily today, so you can rest earlier. My father-in-law will take care of my mother-in-law tonight.” Jeremy’s answer was out of Madeline’s expectation, and his attitude was warm as well.
“Thank you for doing the utmost for saving Lily today.”
Madeline lifted snazzynovel.com head to meet Jeremy’s gentle gaze. For some reason, snazzynovel.com felt as if there was an abnormally warm glint in his eyes. She had a million things to say to snazzynovel.com in snazzynovel.com heart, but in the end, Madeline only said two words, “You’re welcome.”
After snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.com grabbed the mask Jeremy gave snazzynovel.com and walked back to the house.
Naomi did not expect this to happen. She thought Jeremy, Sean, and even Karen would berate Madeline, but now, everything passed as if nothing had happened.
Madeline went back to snazzynovel.com room, and snazzynovel.com heartbeat became erratic.
However, snazzynovel.com had won the experiment just now.
Not only did Jeremy not blame snazzynovel.com or misunderstand her, but snazzynovel.com was also so considerate toward her.
“Jeremy, do you really feel something?”
Knock, knock, knock.
Madeline was still leaning against the door while deep in thought when someone knocked on it.
