Madeline smiled and bent down next to Eloise to ask patiently.
Eloise peered at Naomi who was putting on a fake smile and grabbed Madeline’s hand. “L-Let me tell you a secret.”
“Secret?” Madeline was curious. However, snazzynovel.com also noticed something amiss with the way Eloise looked at Naomi. “Mrs. Montgomery, what secret do you want to tell me?”
Eloise lifted snazzynovel.com head and got closer to Madeline’s ear.
“That person is not my daughter.”
This statement went into Madeline’s ear clearly.
She was astonished. She did not expect that despite being delirious and sometimes even failing to recognize her, Eloise could clearly tell that Naomi was a fake.
“It’s true. I’m telling you the truth,” Eloise emphasized seriously.
Of course, Madeline knew what Eloise said was true. However, snazzynovel.com could not do anything to take Naomi down now.
She did not know who Carter was yet and there was another matter snazzynovel.com needed to take into consideration. Naomi was right. She did not have the courage to face Jeremy now.
She did not dare to look into his eyes after snazzynovel.com removed snazzynovel.com mask.
Naomi did not know what Eloise said to Madeline, but snazzynovel.com felt that something was amiss. However, snazzynovel.com did not ask.
Madeline did not display snazzynovel.com emotions. She smiled calmly and took care of Eloise while snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com breakfast.
After the children went to school, Karen took care of Pudding so that Madeline could take Eloise for a walk in the park nearby.
Madeline felt that Eloise was getting much better compared to before.
Now, snazzynovel.com was able to say a complete sentence.
Madeline had pushed Eloise under the tree yesterday. When snazzynovel.com recalled what happened yesterday, snazzynovel.com was still a little scared. However, the good thing was that the child was fine.
When snazzynovel.com recalled what had happened recently, Madeline felt that perhaps God was testing snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com family.
Something bad had happened to snazzynovel.com and Eloise at around the same time back then, and now, Eloise could not even go on with snazzynovel.com life normally. On the other hand, Madeline did not even know if snazzynovel.com face could recover to the way it was before.
Clink.
She heard something falling behind her.
Madeline came back to snazzynovel.com senses and saw Eloise pointing at the spot near snazzynovel.com foot. “It fell, the pendant. Help me pick it up.”
Madeline lowered snazzynovel.com head to see the gold butterfly-shaped pendant next to the wheelchair.
She quickly bent down to pick it up. When snazzynovel.com saw the engraving on the gold butterfly, snazzynovel.com suddenly remembered snazzynovel.com grandfather who raised her.
Even though snazzynovel.com was not snazzynovel.com biological grandfather, snazzynovel.com had given snazzynovel.com the best care and love.
He was not snazzynovel.com family, but snazzynovel.com was more than a family.
However, Madeline did not expect Eloise to have had this with snazzynovel.com the entire time.
“Eveline,” Eloise looked at Madeline and called out suddenly.
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com heart skip a beat. While snazzynovel.com was feeling distracted, Eloise took away the pendant in snazzynovel.com hand.
“Come, lower.” Eloise’s face was serious as snazzynovel.com waved snazzynovel.com hand at Madeline with love.
Madeline was confused. However, snazzynovel.com still lowered herself as instructed by Eloise. She did not think that Eloise would put the necklace with the pendant around snazzynovel.com neck.
“Pretty. It looks the prettiest on Eveline.” Eloise praised Madeline, and it was obvious that snazzynovel.com was treating snazzynovel.com as if snazzynovel.com was snazzynovel.com birth daughter Eveline.
