Chapter 1442
Jeremy quickly got up. “Linnie, I’ll go get it. Something might have happened to Mom.”
“Alright.” Madeline nodded with a smile. She looked at the outline of Jeremy’s back, the smile on her face gradually fading.
She had nearly succeeded but something happened so suddenly.
To Jeremy, Karen’s appearance was just like the appearance of his savior.
He never had this unusual feeling before, which he himself did not know the reason behind it. He found it unbelievable that being with Madeline would make him feel uncomfortable.
Even back in those times, he had never felt that way before.
Jeremy opened the door and saw Karen carrying Pudding in her hands. Her face was filled with anxiety.
“What’s wrong? Is Pudding not feeling well?”
“No.” Karen shook her head. “It’s about your father-in-law. He’s still not back from working overtime. I have to put Pudding to sleep and Eloise is all by herself. If Eveline is not asleep yet, please ask her to keep Eloise accompany.”
“I’m not asleep yet. I’ll go take care of mom,” Madeline took the initiative and spoke. She reached for a coat and put it on. Then, she walked to Jeremy’s side. “You go and sleep, Jeremy. I’ll go keep Mom company.”
“Alright then.” Jeremy felt as if he was relieved from a burden.
The woman nodded with a smile, then followed Karen to the room where Eloise was in.
Jeremy tagged along. Upon entering the room, he saw Eloise sitting at the side of the bed all by herself. She was watching them blankly.
The woman put on a friendly smile and put on an act while walking to Eloise’s side. “Mom, Dad will be back late tonight. I’ll accompany you to sleep, okay?”
She was intentionally trying to get on her good terms. Before this, she knew of everything that occurred between Madeline and Eloise.
