Chapter 1396
He fully understood how Felipe felt. Whether she was or was not Cathy, her existence was still a ray of hope to Felipe.
Madeline signed Jeremy’s discharge papers, and as they were on the way home, Madeline gave Sean a call. She asked if Eloise had been found yet, but Sean said no.
Eloise going missing had fueled Madeline’s unease.
Jeremy understood how Madeline felt. “Don’t blame yourself, Linnie. This isn’t your fault. Life is full of surprises and unexpected incidents, so we can’t prevent everything. Mom could be on the way home for all we know.”
Madeline smiled softly, knowing that Jeremy was only trying to console and comfort her.
“You’re right, Jeremy. It’s also impossible for us to know if the unexpected would be something good or bad. Like Cathy.” She looked up to meet the man’s gaze. “Do you remember how you asked Cathy to return to Glendale and asked Adam for pain medication when we were in F Country back then?”
“Yeah.” Jeremy nodded. “That’s what I was wondering about just now. If she truly is Cathy, then it’d be likely that she exchanged contacts with Adam.”
“I hope it’s Cathy.” Madeline prayed internally. “Hope is not lost as long as she’s alive.”
“That must be what Felipe is thinking too. As long as Cathy’s still alive, even if as someone else’s wife, I’m sure he’ll be happy.”
Madeline agreed with Jeremy but how were they supposed to prove that Amy was Cathy?
Less than 20 minutes later, Madeline and Jeremy returned to the manor. The first thing she did was ask Karen about Eloise’s situation. “Did my mom drop by, Mom?”
Karen was stunned. “Didn’t she leave with the both of you this morning? What happened to your head, Jeremy? What’s with all the bandages?”
“It’s just a surface injury, I’m alright,” Jeremy replied casually as he was more worried about where Eloise was. “Stay home and take care of the kids, Linnie. I’ll go meet up with Dad. Mom can’t go too far on her own.”
“Stay home, Jeremy. I know you said you’re fine, but I’m still worried.” Madeline held him back. “Go back to rest in the room.”
“I’m really alright,” Jeremy stressed.
