Chapter 115
The pendant fell on the back of Madeline’s foot and bounced off before landing next to Eloise’s wheelchair.
Madeline coughed as her face turned red, her throat was extremely sore. She did not notice the sudden change in Meredith and Rose’s expressions, but she did hear Eloise’s surprised shout.
“This! This gold pendant!”
Eloise’s voice was shaking, and she was even stuttering.
Madeline looked over with suspicion and saw Eloise pressing onto where she had her surgery before standing up from the wheelchair to pick up the pendant.
“Sean! Sean!” Eloise cried out for Sean. When Sean heard Eloise’s cries, he ran over. The moment he saw the pendant in Eloise’s hand, he looked extremely shocked, it was as if he had recovered something that was long lost.
“This! This is the pendant we had custom made for our precious Linnie all those years ago! Did you finally find it?”
What?
Madeline did not even have time to catch her breath when she heard Sean say that. Her mind suddenly went blank as her heartbeat sped up.
“It’s definitely this pendant, but why was it with you?!” Eloise looked at the flabbergasted Madeline with a look of astonishment and confusion.
Sean turned around after hearing it as well. He saw Madeline leaning against the wall, her mask having been torn off. Her reddening face was half-covered with gauze, except for those eyes. Even though her eyes were bewildered, her pupils were still exceptionally clear and vibrant.
