Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 741

Geneva was genuinely relieved she had followed Corley's advice to persist with her eye treatment and take care of her health. Her vision was gradually coming back, allowing her to see just how much her granddaughter resembled her daughter.

Madge was surprised to discover that her daughter had already met her parents. Roseanne recounted their first encounter, and Neely couldn't help but remark, "We've searched high and low, across the country and overseas, and who would've thought we were so close the whole time, missing each other twice before. Thank goodness we didn't miss out again."

At that moment, Geneva remembered that Roseanne and Corley had actually met long before, as if destiny had played its hand. "Anne, funny enough, Corley is actually your cousin, and he never even realized it all these years..."

Corley had been unusually quiet, his face tense and his expression tightly controlled.

Roseanne caught on quickly and playfully called out, "Cousin."

Corley clenched his fist, his eyes clouded with complex emotions.

Unaware of this, Geneva smiled to herself. "If Corley had been a bit more perceptive, maybe we would've reunited sooner."

Neely waved a dismissive hand. "Let's not think like that. The fact that Corley and Anne found each other is a blessing; we can't ask for more."

"You're right, things are wonderful as they are... truly wonderful."

To have found Aberdeen in their lifetime was a miracle; asking for more would be too much.

Roseanne sipped her coffee with a smile, while Corley kept his gaze down, not saying a word, a stark contrast to his usual laid-back demeanor.

Madge, surprised by the connections, was more curious about what had happened all these years. Her memories of her parents had started to return, especially after the argument with Nadine that left her with a head injury. Fragmented memories had been resurfacing ever since.

Seeing Neely and Geneva in person and hearing their stories about her childhood filled in the gaps in her memory, like completing a puzzle. But still...

"I still don’t remember how I went missing or ended up in the river."

She only recalled going shopping with her sister Kathleen that day. What happened afterward was a blur.

At this point, Madge remembered Kathleen. "How is she? Is she doing well?"

Neely and Geneva exchanged a glance, falling silent. Kathleen had no idea Madge had been found, and they hadn't thought to bring her along.

Madge noticed their hesitation and was about to press further when Geneva sighed, "She's doing well, everything's good... she even married Teague Sullivan."
