“How… to be a passable mother…”Madeline’s question seemed to stumped Eloise.Eloise stared straight at Madeline’s tearful face. As she looked at Madeline, Eloise suddenly started to shake her head repeatedly; her expression also gradually changed.“I am not a passable mother. I’m not. I’ve mistaken a bad woman as my precious daughter, and I’ve caused my Eveline to be vilified and tormented. I’m not a passable mother. I am not worthy to be a mother. I’m not worthy. Not worthy…”Eloise rejected herself, blaming herself with fierce intensity. Madeline only then realized that the question she had asked during her emotional breakdown had triggered Eloise.She rushed to hold Eloise’s shoulders to comfort her. “Mom, there’s no need to get worked up. You’re a good mother. You are a passable mother in Eveline’s heart.”“No, I’m not a good mother, that’s why Eveline hates me. She hates me. She doesn’t want me as her mother, and she doesn’t want Sean as a father as well. Sean and I are n

Eloise was vehemently glaring at the driver when she heard a sudden call from behind.She was staring blankly ahead, then her gaze instantly softened.Eloise turned around abruptly and sped toward Madeline.Eloise, still very emotional, reached out her hand to touch Madeline’s cheek. “Eveline, how are you? Are you okay? How’s your leg? Let me see.”Eloise squatted as she spoke, reaching out her hand, gently touching Madeline’s twisted ankle. It was clear that Madeline’s ankle was red and swollen.“Are all of you sick in the head? If you want to reminisce, go home! Don’t get in the way of my delivery!” snapped the truck driver, his head poking out from the window.Jeremy lifted his cold, stern eyes. “Do you think you’re still in the right when you’re the one speeding? Someone had clearly fallen on the road, yet not only did you not stop, but you continued to speed. Do you want your license to get revoked?”“...”Looking at Jeremy’s cold, steadfast, handsome face, the truck drive

Under the darkness of the night, Karen relied on the streetlights to see the people in the car, the sight of which immediately made her feel much more at ease.Jeremy was the first to get out of the car after they parked. He then walked toward the backseat and opened the door, then carried Madeline out of the car.When Karen saw this, she could not help but worry.She quickly walked toward Madeline who was being held by Jeremy. When she saw Madeline’s wet, red, and swollen eyes, she got even more worried. “What happened? Eveline, are you feeling unwell?”Madeline smiled at that, shaking her head. “Don’t worry about me, mom. I’m fine. I’ve just twisted my ankle. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”When Karen heard that, she was even more worried. “How did you twist your ankle? How did it happen? Are you sure you’ll be fine after a few days?”“Yes, definitely,” Madeline said with certainty, nodding. “You can ask Jeremy if you don’t believe me.”Jeremy chimed in cooperative

Jeremy abruptly stopped applying the ointment.Actually, it had been so long and he still did not understand Fabian’s actions.However, he was sure that Fabian had gotten some news from somewhere that led to him suddenly resisting them.Perhaps, that person had given Fabian false news that was detrimental to Jeremy and Madeline.However, even though Fabian was still young, Jeremy thought that he was not someone who was brainless and would be easily manipulated by others.“Linnie.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hands softly and got up to sit next to her. He pulled her into his arms. “Linnie, after we raise the kids, I want to find a suburb that’s near the mountain and the ocean so that we can finally live a life with just the two of us.”Jeremy voiced the wonderful expectation in his heart. He was planning for this happy and blissful future while sincerely working hard to realize it. Meanwhile, he also hoped that Madeline would be able to forget her troubles at this moment.Madeline

A cold and deep masculine voice sounded from the other end of the phone.“You’ve already had his daughter for a while so why aren’t there any updates? Don’t you want to seek revenge on behalf of your siblings?”Fabian frowned after he heard that. A look of indignation appeared on his youthful and handsome face.“I don’t need to tell you whatever I’m doing,” Fabian said in dissatisfaction.“But the only reason you know about the truth of your siblings’ deaths is because of me.“Fabian, even though your sister was not a pitiful person, she was still your sister. As for Yorick, you know very well how he treated you. Do you want the people who caused them to die to continue to live in this world freely?“Now that this child is with you, it’s your best chance to retaliate against them. Don’t hesitate. You’re just giving Jeremy opportunities if you hesitate.”The man was hinting at something through his words. At the same time, his tone sounded like a spell that was playing with Fabia
