The little princess called Madeline snazzynovel.com mommy again.
Madeline could not express the excitement snazzynovel.com was feeling right now with words. However, the overflowing joy in snazzynovel.com eyes was evident.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s twinkling eyes and approached Madeline with Lillian in his arms.
“I think my daughter likes you a lot. Can you help me hold this child to comfort her?”
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to say that. Of course, Madeline would be more than happy to.
She nodded quickly and reached out snazzynovel.com hands to hold Lillian.
When Naomi saw this from the living room, snazzynovel.com felt agitated and nervous.
Was this because blood was thicker than water and Lillian was snazzynovel.com flesh and blood?
Was that why the little thing could sense the woman holding snazzynovel.com right now was snazzynovel.com birth mother?
Naomi clenched snazzynovel.com fists in silence when snazzynovel.com saw Madeline carrying Lillian upstairs. Plus, snazzynovel.com also gritted snazzynovel.com teeth.
She could not let this continue. If the little girl had this feeling, it meant that Jeremy would know who was the real Eveline Montgomery sooner or later.
Naomi pondered silently and felt that snazzynovel.com could not sit still and do nothing.
She did not have anyone left. She no longer had Ryan’s orders and instructions, so snazzynovel.com had to depend on herself.
Madeline carried Lillian to snazzynovel.com room where Jackson was doing his homework.
“Miss Quinny,” Jackson greeted politely as snazzynovel.com blinked his lively wide eyes. “What’s wrong with Lily? Why are snazzynovel.com eyes red?”
After Lillian heard what Jackson said, snazzynovel.com lowered snazzynovel.com crystal clear wide eyes aggrievedly.
Madeline patted the child’s back while feeling pitiful. She sat down on the sofa with Lillian.
“Good girl.”
She caressed the little girl’s head comfortingly. She wished that snazzynovel.com voice would sound nicer now. At least, snazzynovel.com did not want it so hoarse and grave because it did not sound gentle at all.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest without saying a word while snazzynovel.com played with snazzynovel.com fingers.
Madeline remembered what Naomi said just now. After staying silent for a while, snazzynovel.com asked Lillian probingly, “Lily, tell me where does it hurt?”
Lillian understood what Madeline was saying. She reached out snazzynovel.com adorable finger and pointed at both of snazzynovel.com arms.
Madeline quickly rolled up Lillian’s sleeves. It would be better if snazzynovel.com had not looked. After snazzynovel.com took a look, Madeline wanted so badly to rip Naomi into pieces.
She spotted the red and purple bruises on snazzynovel.com daughter’s arms and could tell how violently Naomi had treated her.
Naomi knew Lillian could not speak and snazzynovel.com was a slow, adorable little girl, so snazzynovel.com chose to take action against this child.
She would hesitate if it was Jackson.
“Why are there red spots on Lily’s arms?” Jackson furrowed his brows in concern, looking worried.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest aggrievedly. “Mommy, Mommy.”
Madeline felt snazzynovel.com heart aching as snazzynovel.com held the little princess in snazzynovel.com arms tightly.
“Lily, Mommy won’t allow you to get hurt for no reason.”
Madeline finished saying that as calmly as snazzynovel.com could. Then, snazzynovel.com placed Lillian on the sofa, got up, and told Jackson, “Jack, watch your sister. I need to go out for a bit and I’ll be back soon.” Madeline turned around suddenly.
“Where are you going?” Jackson asked curiously behind Madeline.
Madeline suppressed snazzynovel.com anger and turned back to smile gently at the child.
