Chapter 1443
Jeremy took big footsteps and headed to Eloise who was shouting loudly. His face wore a serious yet surprised expression. “Mom, you finally got the strength to talk?”
However, it was as if Eloise did not hear Jeremy talking to her. She continued shrieking, “Eveline, I want Eveline!”
The woman quickly comforted Eloise, afraid that Jeremy might get suspicious. There was a worried and anxious look on her face. “Mom, Eveline is right here. I’m your Eveline.”
Eloise raised her head and looked at the woman for some time, then suddenly shoved the woman’s hand away with a disgusted look. “You’re not Eveline! You’re not my Eveline!”
“…” The woman’s body trembled, her expression changing for the worse.
She had just started launching the first step of her plan, but she did not expect it to end as a failure that fast.
The woman wanted to seek an excuse saying that it was because of Eloise’s illness, but from her peripheral vision, she saw Jeremy’s outline inching closer to her.
“Mom, don’t get so worked up. Be careful of your wound.” Jeremy comforted Elosie, who was agitated, with a soft voice. “This is the real Eveline. Look carefully, she’s your precious daughter, Eveline Montgomery. She’s always by your side. Take a closer look.”
Hearing his comment made the woman put on a fake smile again. “Mom, I really am Madeline. Why do you still fail to recognize me after so long? I’m really sad.”
As she was saying, she saw Eloise glancing at her with a critical gaze. The woman tried her best to force out some tears, acting like she was really upset and sobbing.
“No, this is not my Eveline.” Eloise continued denying. As she said, she started lifting the blanket, wanting to get down from the bed. “I want my Eveline. I want to go look for my Eveline!”
Jeremy quickly stopped her. “Mom, calm down. Yes, she’s not your Eveline. I’ll help you go find Eveline. You’d better take more rest and don’t move around rashly. Careful, or you’ll open up your wound.”
“No, I want to go find her myself! You all can’t recognize Eveline. I’m the only one who can recognize her!” Eloise was anxious. She pushed Jeremy aside and wanted to leave.
Just when Jeremy was at his wit’s end on how to stop Eloise, Sean came back.
Seeing that Eloise was making havoc and wanting to look for their daughter, Sean quickly rushed over. He grabbed Eloise’s shoulders and comforted her gently. “Don’t get agitated, Eloise. I’ll bring you to go find our daughter, Eveline.”
Sean showing up calmed Eloise, but her expression was still unpleasant. Like a little kid, she pointed at the woman and pouted. “She really isn’t Eveline. Sean, let’s go look for Eveline.”
“Alright, we’ll go look for Eveline but not now. Look, the sky is already so dark. Eveline has already gone to bed. We should be sleeping as well. Wait till it’s daytime and I’ll bring you out to look for Eveline, okay?” Sean comforted her patiently. He then turned around and looked at Jeremy. “Jeremy, you and Eveline should head back to your bedroom. I’ll take care of Eloise.”
