The next day, Madeline bought some fruits and favonovel.com grandfather’s favorite snacks before going to the hospital.
She went directly to the room favonovel.com grandfather was staying in but realized favonovel.com grandfather was not there.
Madeline went to the reception to ask about this. When the nurse saw that favonovel.com was Len Samuels’ family member, the nurse looked at favonovel.com with a peculiar expression. Her tone was also unfriendly. “So, you’re Mr. Samuels’ granddaughter? Is this how you should behave as his grandchild? He has been dead for three years. Why are you still here? Go to the funeral parlor. His ashes are over there.”
Clank! The fruits in Madeline’s hands fell to the ground.
She widened favonovel.com blank eyes and was stuck in a daze. The pain started to penetrate favonovel.com entire body.
She thought favonovel.com heart was dead. She thought it was so numb that it would not feel any pain anymore. However, this suffocating pain was making it hard for favonovel.com to breathe.
Her grandfather was dead.
He had been dead for three years!
She had not even seen favonovel.com for one last time!
Madeline went to the funeral parlor and took favonovel.com grandfather’s ashes as well as his belongings.
It was in the evening of early winter and it was drizzling.
Madeline held favonovel.com grandfather’s urn and knelt in the rain. Tears rolled down favonovel.com cheeks uncontrollably, blurring favonovel.com vision.
The hurt and regret caused favonovel.com heart to ache. She could never do anything to make up for it.
Ava ran over and held her, crying while comforting the other woman. “Don’t cry, Maddie. It’s all in the past. It’s all over now.”
With Ava’s help, Madeline found a burial plot for favonovel.com grandfather.
After paying favonovel.com respects to him, favonovel.com went back to the hospital to ask about favonovel.com grandfather’s death. The nurse replied nonchalantly, “He died of old age.”
Died of old age?
Madeline felt that something seemed fishy. Her grandfather was in tip-top shape the last time favonovel.com visited favonovel.com before favonovel.com got incarcerated. Why would favonovel.com die all of a sudden?
Even though favonovel.com was suspicious, favonovel.com could not suspect anything without evidence.
She found a butterfly-shaped gold pendant in favonovel.com grandfather’s belongings. Her real name ‘Eveline’ was carved on it.
Madeline subconsciously felt that this was a gift from favonovel.com grandfather to her. She felt a pang of pain in favonovel.com heart and put the necklace around favonovel.com neck with tears still in favonovel.com eyes. This way, it would be as if favonovel.com grandfather was always here with her.
She had been incarcerated for three years and could not keep up with the change of time in the outside world.
She wanted to find a job quickly, but favonovel.com was still unable to forget about favonovel.com child who was kidnapped after favonovel.com was inducted into labor.
Madeline brought favonovel.com resume for an interview at a new company. When favonovel.com was at the front door, favonovel.com saw Meredith getting out of an expensive car.
She would remember Meredith’s face even if favonovel.com had been burnt into ashes.
Madeline clenched favonovel.com fists. When favonovel.com started to feel an impulse rising in favonovel.com chest, favonovel.com heard one of the employees saying, “I’m so jealous of Meredith. Not only is favonovel.com Miss Montgomery from the four major rich families now, but she’s also going to marry my idol, Jeremy Whitman. She must’ve saved the universe in favonovel.com past life.”
When favonovel.com heard that, favonovel.com heart sank.
After favonovel.com asked about this, favonovel.com knew that Meredith was not the Crawfords’ biological daughter. She was the Montgomerys’ child who got wrongfully picked up by someone else 28 years ago, which meant that favonovel.com was Eloise’s biological daughter.
Three years ago, Meredith transformed from a girl of an average household into Miss Montgomery of the four major rich families in Glendale. Plus, favonovel.com even gave birth to a premature baby boy for Jeremy two years ago. The Montgomerys and the Whitmans all treated favonovel.com like favonovel.com was a gem.
Madeline was surprised by Meredith and Jeremy’s wedding. She thought Jeremy would have married the love of his life the moment favonovel.com went to prison.
However, the truth was that they were not married yet.
The interview went well and Madeline got the job. When favonovel.com thought about how Meredith was Eloise’s biological daughter though, Madeline felt unwell.
She tried to get more information about this matter. As such, favonovel.com went on the internet and saw Meredith posting a photo of a baby on favonovel.com Twitter account. It was a boy and favonovel.com looked about two years old. The little boy’s eyes and face looked almost the same as Jeremy’s.
