The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 109

Sloane replied, "Do I really look that unhinged?"

Madeline smiled gently. "Right now? You kind of do."

"Just don't do anything reckless. You still have Fiona on your side."

"I know, I know."

Sloane waved her off, giving her a reassuring look.

She wasn't stupid enough to ruin her own future over some random mistress.

She had a terrible temper, but she was still the only heir. Her old man needed her to take care of him in his old age, so he usually turned a blind eye to her outbursts. Those mistresses knew their place; none of them ever dared to cross her.

But the minute she took her eyes off the ball, someone came looking for trouble.

She didn't stay to chat with Madeline much longer and quickly left the hospital.

Madeline's dizzy spells had eased up over the past two days, so she decided to carry Evie downstairs to get some sun.

It had been a long time since she had been able to focus entirely on her daughter, and the fresh air put Madeline in a rare, relaxed mood.

From a window a few floors up, Felicity watched her with a dark, calculating stare.

Could that little girl really be Madeline's daughter?

Felicity's hands curled into tight fists.

No, it was impossible!

Madeline and York hadn't seen each other in two years, and that little girl looked barely over a year old. The timeline didn't make any sense.

She must be overthinking it.

Felicity pulled up a contact in her phone.

"I need you to look into something for me."

"As long as you get me the answers I want, I'll make it worth your while."

By the time Madeline carried Evie back up to her room, York was already there.

"Didn't the doctor tell you not to wander around? Where did you go?"

He quickly noticed the sleeping toddler in Madeline's arms and looked surprised.

"What is Evie doing here?"
