Chapter 418
“Eveline…”
Eloise moved her lips and whispered the name.
Madeline was a little stunned, knowing that it was her real name.
“Mom and Dad are sorry. We’re really sorry. You had obviously shown up in front of us long ago, but we were blind. We hurt and mistreated you time and time again for that vicious woman Meredith…
“I know that there’s no way to compensate you in this lifetime. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely make up for the harm done to you…”
Eloise reached out her hand with tears all over her face and she suddenly hugged Madeline.
“Eveline, my Eveline…” she called out lightly in a trembling voice.
Perhaps she was in a trance, but looking at Madeline’s face, it was really hard not to be in a trance—especially in the state of grief and indignation she was in at this moment.
Madeline silently let Eloise hug her tightly, a touch of wetness appearing in her calm eyes…
This was probably the first time she was experiencing a mother’s love. It turned out to be so warm. She cherished it.
Eloise let go after a long time.
“I’m sorry, Miss Vera, I lost my cool.” Eloise apologized sincerely. “Thanks for your help tonight, Miss Vera. If it weren’t for you, Diana wouldn’t have admitted so easily.”
Madeline smiled faintly. “It’s just a small matter, so don’t worry about it.”
She got up slowly, her face as undisturbed as ever. “Rest early, Mrs. Montgomery. Jeremy and I are going back now.”
