Chapter 1588
“Naomi was right. She did push me into the river to drown me, but I was still conscious at that moment. After she pushed me into the river, I was fully conscious in the blink of an eye. Then, I swam back to shore myself.”
After Karen heard that, she was suddenly enlightened. However, there was still something that she could not understand. “When did you learn how to swim? I remember that you don’t know how to swim.”
“Jeremy taught me when I went out to have fun with him back then.” Madeline smiled and leaned against Jeremy. Jeremy naturally reached out and held Madeline’s shoulder.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Two clear and melodic voices of children sounded from one side. Jeremy only held Madeline for less than a few seconds before there was an emptiness in his arms.
Madeline turned around to look at the siblings running toward her. She squatted and opened her arms to welcome the children.
Jackson and Lillian ran into Madeline’s arms, nuzzling against her intimately before kissing her cheek.
“Mommy! This mommy now is my real mommy,” Jackson exclaimed. He finally knew why his mother back then would glare at him so maliciously.
It was because that was not his real mother.
Madeline held the two children while feeling heartbroken, especially when she was holding Lillian.
Back then, Naomi had bullied Lillian. Although she had already vented out on the little girl’s behalf, the little girl’s trauma was real and valid.
Jeremy thought Madeline would spend some time with him first after she came back.
However, Madeline stayed with the children the entire time so Jeremy could only stay at one side while feeling jealous.
After she tucked the children into bed at night, Madeline finally went back into Jeremy’s arms.
“Okay.” Madeline smiled and pressed a kiss on the corner of Jeremy’s lips with her pink lips. “Jeremy, I love you.”
After Jeremy heard that, he unfurrowed his brows. “I love you too, Linnie.”
He smiled, and in the silence, he kissed her…
The next day, Madeline woke up early to wash up. After breakfast, she got ready to go over to Carter’s place with Jeremy.
However, when they were about to leave, Madeline saw a familiar car parked outside the door.
She got closer to take a look and saw Carter’s driver getting out of the car to walk to her.
“Miss Montgomery, please get in. There has been a change in the meeting point and Mr. Carter asked me to drive you over.”
