Chapter 276
Madeline came alone to the hospital where Meredith was staying in. There was a huge crowd gathering at the hospital. Everyone was looking at the highest floor of the building.
When she saw this, Madeline looked up as well. She could see a white figure sitting at the railing. Judging from the person’s face, it was indeed Meredith.
She immediately took the lift to the roof. She thought Jeremy would be there already, but there was no one else there. Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.
However, he had looked worried just now. Was he not worried about Meredith?
Why else did he run away so hurriedly?
When she was contemplating about that, she heard Eloise bawling and screaming in devastation in front of her. “Mer, don’t do this. I’m begging you. Can you please come down?”
Eloise’s voice was already hoarse from crying. It was evident how much she was worried about Meredith.
Madeline clenched her fists unconsciously. She looked forward and saw that her birth father, Sean, was there as well. He was holding Eloise, who was wailing sadly, back as he talked to Meredith slowly.
He kept calling her his sweetheart. Each and every word of his was filled with concern and love for Meredith.
Just like Eloise, he was so worried about losing Meredith. He was scared that he would lose this woman who he thought was his precious daughter.
“Jeremy. Is Jeremy not here yet?” At this moment, Meredith spoke.
Her voice was soft, making her seem fragile.
However, in Madeline’s eyes, she was just putting on a show.
“Jeremy will be here soon! Mer, you have to wait for Jeremy. Don’t do anything stupid!” Eloise told her while crying. She wanted to pull Meredith down, but she did not dare to go near her. She did not want to trigger Meredith.
However, Madeline knew clearly that Meredith wanted so badly for someone to pull her down.
She was just acting, after all.
Rose was crying even more dramatically now. “Mer! Oh, Mer, how can you be so stupid? Why do you want to punish yourself for someone else’s mistake? Madeline was the one who caused you to be unable to marry Jeremy. Now, this Vera Quinn is eliciting disharmony between you and Jeremy! Why is your life so sad?”
Rose used this opportunity to vilify Madeline. She joined her daughter in putting on an act and cried heavily. “Mer, my sweetheart, even though you’re not my daughter, your birth mother will be so sad if you jump down! You’re Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery’s only biological child!”
