Chapter 425
Old Master Whitman’s tone was calm. He had undoubtedly determined that the person in front of him was Madeline. He was obviously confident.
Madeline was a little surprised, but she stayed composed. “Grandpa, you’ll live a long life. Also, I really am not Madeline.”
Old Master Whitman smiled meaningfully, but his gray eyebrows were furrowed helplessly in a frown. “Madeline, are you asking me, this old man, to not die in peace?”
“…” Madeline was speechless for a moment.
“They told me that you died at Jeremy and Meredith’s engagement ceremony. This matter has always been in my mind, brooding.”
Old Master Whitman sighed.
“You’re a good child that’s hard to come by. It was Jeremy who didn’t know how to cherish you. I won’t fault you at all now that you chose to come back this way, but I hope you can stay away from Felipe.”
Old Master Whitman’s words of advice reminded Madeline of the past that Felipe had told her.
She looked at the old man in front of her seriously. Although his face was old and his temples were white, his time-beaten eyes still flowed with clarity and wisdom.
Madeline pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “I’m now Jeremy’s wife, so how can I have anything to do with Felipe anymore? Grandpa, I’m really not Madeline. Although I look a lot like her, I’m completely different from her in other aspects. I won’t walk the path she once walked.”
Seeing the confidence and determination in Madeline’s eyes, Old Master Whitman turned around and walked to the bedside cabinet. He then took out a stack of papers from the drawer and handed it to Madeline.
“What’s this?” Madeline accepted it quizzically. She looked down and found that a word was written on the first sheet of white paper that had been crumpled—Maddie.
She looked at the second and third sheets. All the sheets below were written with her name.
This familiar handwriting made Madeline’s heart beat faster.
“This was found by the servants who cleaned up Jeremy’s room here after your accident three years ago.”
Old Master Whitman’s answer made Madeline laugh involuntarily. “Grandpa, are you trying to tell me that Jeremy has been concerned about his ex-wife Madeline for the past three years?”
