Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047

Madeline recalled the cigarette she had gotten from Jeremy’s cigarette box that time. She had taken the cigarette to run a components test on it.

However, too many things happened all of a sudden after that. Both her parents passed away, and it was Jeremy who caused their deaths. She had fallen into chaos all of a sudden and totally forgot about the test.

After Fabian and Ryan left, Madeline returned to the room to watch over Lillian.

When she thought about Lillian wanting Jeremy to carry her after she fell down but only saw him turn a blind eye to her, the little girl must have felt very upset.

Although the child was still young and could not express herself well, she would still be able to sense that Jeremy did not like her.

Madeline felt more and more suspicious.

‘How did a person become so cold-blooded? The answer might be lying within the cigarette.’

Madeline stayed with Lillian the entire night and fell asleep unknowingly.

When she woke up the next day, she saw that Lillian had not woken up yet. She felt a little worried. As she was about to wake the child up, the girl opened her eyes.

“Lillian.” Madeline hugged her and asked, “Lillian, tell Mommy, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Lillian still did not speak. She only looked at Madeline, then stretched out her hands and hugged Madeline.

“Good girl, Lillian.” Madeline soothed her. Guessing that the child was feeling she had been wronged, she felt more heartache for Lillian.

She helped Lillian get up and got herself washed before changing her clothes. They both then ate breakfast together.

However, Lillian did not say a single word even after breakfast was done.

Madeline found it very strange. “Lillian, why aren’t you talking?”

Lillian looked at Madeline, but she only blinked her big eyes while her small mouth did not move even one bit.

Madeline was now convinced that there was something off. She obviously sensed that Lillian was not as lively as before. She was not even speaking a word.

After she passed Jackson and her youngest son to Karen, she brought Lillian to visit a doctor.

After going around a few pediatric hospitals, a doctor finally told Madeline, “Your child seems to have been shocked and is experiencing trauma, causing her to be unable to speak for the time being. She needs to break through the psychological trauma. Only then may she speak again.”
