Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 456

Chapter 456

"She left? Where did she go? Do you know?" Eloise asked frantically.

The receptionist guessed and said, "I think she might be going home at this time."

"Home..." Eloise rolled the word in her mouth as she was stuck in a daze.

Home...

Montgomery Manor should be her house. However, Eloise and Sean did not dare to hope if she wanted to go back with them.

Perhaps, she would be unwilling to do so.

Eloise remembered what Madeline said when she came to Montgomery Manor for Jackson two days ago.

She said that would be the last time she went over.

Back then, Eloise did not understand, but now, she understood what she meant.

When she thought about it, Eloise started bawling. She felt extremely remorseful.

Sean held her. "Ellie, don't cry. Don't worry. We'll surely be able to see Eveline again."

"She won't want to see us. She must've hated us..." Eloise's eyes were red from crying as she recalled the day at the hospital. She recalled how she had blamed herself so much till she wanted to end her life when she found out Madeline was her flesh and blood.

At that moment, Madeline had called her 'Mom'.

She thought Madeline only called her that to save her.

However, it turned out to be a genuine act.

Eloise reminisced about the way Madeline had called out to her. Her heart started to feel more and more painful.

If Madeline did not want to acknowledge her as her mother, then that word would become the most melodic and heartbreaking sound in the world.

Madeline drove to where she promised to meet Ava.

It was a Mexican restaurant that was filled with the smell of different spices. It was already filled with people at this hour.

A few customers were surprised when they saw Madeline. She looked like a fairy who only feasted on dewdrops, but she was here for Mexican food.

At this moment, Ava waved at her. "Maddie, over here!"

Madeline looked over to the source of the voice. When she saw Ava, she saw Daniel's gentle face as well.

She smiled and walked over to sit down. When she saw the tacos in front of her, her heart grew warm.

Of course, she did not forget about eating tacos with hot sauce from a food truck with Daniel. Back then, Daniel had already realized that she did not have long to live because his eyes were filled with dread. Actually, she thought her life would end as well, but in the end, everything changed.

"Maddie, has your body fully recovered?" Daniel asked in concern.

Madeline gave him a small smile. "Don't worry. I'm fine now."

"Maddie, you did the right thing! Two days ago, I saw a lot of negative news about Whitman Corporation. It's right of you to destroy it. Jeremy did all those things to you back then and now, he has only lost his reputation and power. But you and your child..."

Ava stopped herself when she talked about this.

"I'm sorry, Maddie. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have touched the tender spot."

"It's fine." Madeline smiled. "Actually, my first child isn't dead."

"W-What?" Ava was shocked.

Daniel was also surprised. "That child is not dead?"

"Yeah." Madeline nodded and sighed. "However, I don't know where that child is. Meredith hid her."

"What? How can Meredith do something like that?" Ava was curious. When she was about to curse Meredith, her eyes landed on something behind Madeline. Then, she placed her fork down and stood up angrily. She started yelling behind Madeline, "How did you replace us? What are you doing here?"
