Karen criticized Madeline and Jeremy.
“This is the result of you two going abroad for so long.“
As they listened to Karen’s complaint, Madeline raised her eyes and smiled at Jeremy.
They did not say what had happened in F Country so they would not worry their family again. Finally, Madeline smiled and explained kindly.
“Mom, don’t worry, Lily is fine now, and I can guarantee that that person will take care of Lily more carefully than any of us.“
Karen glanced at Madeline suspiciously and complained, “I don’t know if you’re lying to me or not.“
“Of course, we’re not lying, “ Jeremy promised and then took Madeline’s hand. “Mom, Linnie and I are a bit tired after running around for the past few days, so we’ll head back to the room to rest.“
“Go ahead, “ Karen said, seemingly impatient as she dismissed them, and then she remembered something. “By the way, I received a courier two days ago and it’s for you, Jeremy.“
Karen said, turned around, and went to take it for Jeremy.
Jeremy took a look and it was a document, but the sender was a name he had never heard before.
Seeing that Madeline had gone upstairs, Jeremy did not bother with the delivery. After returning to the room with Madeline, he took a shower and fell asleep.
Jeremy and Madeline only opened their eyes lazily until Karen came to call them to eat dinner at nightfall.
After going downstairs, Madeline saw that her parents were also there.
Eloise’s eyes, always full of warm maternal love, were upon Madeline. She knew that Madeline had been very busy for the past few days, so she handed food to Madeline several times and asked her to eat more.
