Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 472

Madeline:

Ever since I arrived, I felt hostility lingering around me. Even while I waited for Lord Eldon to show me where the patients were, he took his time coming out.

The family remained in Lord Eldon's office discussing something while I sat in the living room with my children, feeling strangely left out.

“Mommy, I don't like it here,” Elara whispered, pressing her face into my arms.

“It’s okay. Once we help the children, we will leave, alright?” I assured her, holding her close.

That was when the family finally came out. Kaylee tried her best to stay in front, but she fell behind whenever Lord Eldon and Graham stepped ahead.

Then she quickly moved forward again and stood right beside Graham. She wrapped her arm around his and nudged her face into his biceps.

It gave major clingy cat vibes.

“So we welcome you to our mansion,” Lord Eldon began. “The thing is, we are quite unprepared, but please do not worry. Actually, the parents are taking some time to arrive. While you wait, I can offer you a guest room so your children can rest.”

He maintained a polite tone, likely unwilling to apologize to me the way the others had before.

“It’s all right. Are any of the patients here?” I asked Lord Eldon.

He nodded.

I tried not to look at Graham, but it was difficult. He was staring at me without blinking, trying to get my attention in the strangest way.

“Some of them are here, at least one or two. The rest are having trouble with transport,” Lord Eldon replied.

I rose from the couch and gently nudged my children’s backs so they would stand with me. They followed without hesitation.

“Why don’t you and your son go and bring them here? You have the means of transportation?” I questioned, watching Lord Eldon glance at Graham before nodding.

“Yes, that could be a good idea,” he agreed.

As soon as he spoke, Kaylee rolled her eyes.

“I was going to suggest that too. It’s such an obvious solution,” she muttered bitterly.

Everyone ignored her except Penny. She nodded vigorously, making it clear she stood on her side.

I was no child. I knew what they were doing. They were supporting each other against evil Madeline. That was the image they were trying to create.

“Well then, while you take care of the patients here, we will go and bring more,” Lord Eldon told Graham, patting his back.

I noticed a flicker of hesitation in Graham. It seemed he wanted to stay at the mansion, perhaps to unsettle me further.
