Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1898

How mature a child was to be able to convey such unease?

Madeline’s heart ached as she kissed the little boy’s cheek.

“Jack, I promise you that I’ll tell you wherever I go next time. I won’t make you worry about me anymore, okay?”

Jackson nodded and blinked his beautiful wide eyes.

“Mommy, I know adults have a lot of things to do. I know. I will be a good and thoughtful boy so that I won’t cause trouble for Mommy and Daddy.”

Madeline was further saddened when she heard this. Seeing the childish and handsome small face before her made her feel a pang in her heart.

“Jack, I don’t want you to be so thoughtful. I hope you can be carefree and happy like your peers.”

“I am happy.” Jackson smiled innocently.  “Now that we have Juan and Jan, I am very happy, but I miss Lily.”

Half of Jackson’s smile disappeared.

Of course, he was talking about his little sister.

Madeline caressed his little head and said to comfort him, “She’s sick, and she’s receiving treatment in the hospital. I’ll take her home once she’s better.”

“Can’t I go to visit her?” Jackson’s eyes were filled with longing. It was clear that he missed his sister a lot.

Madeline thought about Lillian who was currently in F Country, and she shook her head remorsefully. “ You can’t because she’s treating her illness somewhere really far away. It’s difficult for you to go there.”

“Oh…” Jackson lowered his eyes in disappointment.

“Then I’ll wait for her to get better. I believe that she’ll come home very soon!”

When Madeline heard his son’s energetic and optimistic answer, Madeline smiled, feeling content.
