Chapter 615
Glendale Airport.
With Jackson’s hand in hers, Madeline walked into the VIP lounge.
Eloise and Sean followed them in.
A host had brought in a flavorful breakfast for them, but Madeline did not seem to have much of an appetite.
Unease gnawed within her, thought its cause was unknown.
Eloise got up to sit by Madeline’s side before finally holding Madeline’s hand in hers after a long moment of pondering. “Eveline.”
She called out, the corners of her eyes growing hot.
“Take good care of yourself, Eveline. And come visit Glendale when you have time…” She paused as her eyes flitted to look at Sean. “Come visit Mom and Dad.”
Madeline passed a piece of tissue to wipe Eloise’s tears. “I will.”
Eloise felt her nose burn as she hugged Madeline lightly. “Mom’s really sorry, Eveline… I hope you’ll never have to suffer again.”
Madeline patted Eloise’s shoulder comfortingly with a small smile, but she felt her heart clench when she saw Sean wiping his tears away from the corner of her eyes.
She may have lost memories of the past, but the pain in her heart could not feel more real.
With the check-in procedures completed, Felipe returned while smiling warmly as he was met with the sight of Eloise sobbing with Madeline in her arms.
“I’ll bring Eveline back frequently, Aunty. You and Uncle don’t need to feel so sad.”
Eloise nodded. However, sadness could rarely be chased away just by a few words.
They had searched for over 20 years and experienced so much before their family could finally reunite and before they could hear Madeline call them ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’.
