Chapter 534
Madeline stepped out of the hospital door and slowly came to a stop. The corners of her lips curled into a smile. “There will never be a day where you and I can stand together anymore.”
Jeremy’s heart was instantly broken into two pieces when he heard those words. He looked at Madeline’s back that was close at hand, but he felt that there was a distance of endless mountains and rivers between them.
“Eveline? It’s really you, Eveline!” In the distance, Eloise called out to Madeline in surprise and ran over.
Madeline looked at the person who was gradually approaching, feeling surprised. While she was still feeling puzzled, the little guy in Jeremy’s arms asked, “Grandma, why did you come to the hospital as well?”
There was a flash of worry in Eloise’s eyes as she replied, “It’s nothing. Grandma and Grandpa are just here for a routine check-up.”
“Are both of you really okay?” Madeline opened her lips slightly.
Seeing Madeline caring about herself and Sean, a smile appeared on Eloise’s face. “Don’t worry, Eveline. It’s really fine. It’s just a minor problem.”
Madeline gave a vague smile. “Since we’ve met here, let us bid farewell to you as well.”
“Farewell?” Eloise was dumbfounded. “What farewell?”
“I’ll be bringing Jack along with me to leave Glendale next week and I won’t be coming back again.” Madeline’s answer was straightforward, as straightforward as the ice cones that pierced through Eloise’s heart.
Although even as she said that, Madeline knew that she would definitely not leave just like this before Old Master Whitman woke up and before she found the real person behind everything.
Eloise was completely stunned, and her eyes felt hot all of a sudden. “Eveline, you… Are you leaving?”
“Yeah.” Madeline confirmed. “You don’t need to be sad. You’ve gotten used to not having me as a daughter for more than 20 years anyway, so you can just take it as your daughter is already dead.”
“No, it’s not like that. I couldn’t…” Eloise burst into tears immediately.
Seeing this, Jackson immediately asked to come down from Jeremy’s arms and turned to comfort Eloise.
Madeline pretended to smile indifferently. “Then, let’s have Jack accompany you for now. I’ll come back and pick him up later.”
“Eveline, Eveline!” Eloise could not let go of her, yet she also could not stop Madeline from leaving.
Madeline walked with her back facing them, appearing free and easy.
