Chapter 455
Smash!
The teacup in Eloise’s hand slipped and smashed on the floor.
Her limp hands were frozen in midair and could not move.
“W-What did you say… Vera is Maddie…” Eloise muttered as tears quickly filled her eyes and blurred her vision. The only thing she could see right now was Madeline’s stunning face.
Eloise did not suspect anything. It was natural that she would wish her daughter was still alive and well in this world. Plus, during this period of time, she had started to grow fond of Vera.
She knew she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart was in such debilitating pain.
Sean came out when he heard the noise. When he saw Eloise standing there looking dull and sluggish as she sobbed, he walked over feeling worried and curious.
“Ellie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Sean was concerned. He looked at Jeremy in confusion. “Mr. Whitman, when did you get here? Why is Ellie so sad? Are you going to take Jack home?”
Jeremy caressed Jackson’s hair. “I’m not taking him back. Mrs. Montgomery isn’t sad, she’s happy.”
“Happy?” Sean was even more confused now.
When he was about to ask more questions, Eloise turned around and grabbed his hand. “Sean, our daughter is still alive!”
“What? Ellie, what did you say?” Sean’s eyes were filled with an expectant glow.
Eloise had tears streaming down her face. “Vera is actually Maddie! She’s our precious daughter, Eveline! She’s Eveline!”
Sean was stumped for words as his heartbeat sped up. “Vera is Maddie…”
Eloise bawled and leaned against Sean’s shoulder. She was feeling joy and sadness at the same time. “Sean, this is great. Our daughter is still alive. She’s still alive. Thank God!”
Sean’s eyes were also wet with tears. He suppressed his emotions and patted Eloise’s shoulder to comfort her. However, he could not wait to see Madeline right now.
“Where is Eveline? Where is she? I want to see her now.”
“Mr. Whitman, you must know where my daughter is, right? Please tell us!” Eloise was impatient as well.
