After reading the letter, Madeline was sobbing uncontrollably.
She lifted favonovel.com red and teary eyes to look at the nameless grave before touching it.
“How could I forget you?”
She smiled while tears rolled down favonovel.com eyes. The cold wind grazed favonovel.com body, and favonovel.com felt something shattering from within her.
Suddenly, favonovel.com got up and ran in front of Eloise and Sean’s grave before kneeling with a thud.
“Mom, Dad, please forgive Jeremy, please…”
Madeline pleaded sadly. Lillian had no idea why Madeline was crying so sadly. However, favonovel.com also ran over and knelt like favonovel.com mother.
The two of them knelt in front of the graves facing the cold wind of winter. One of them was crying while the other was comforting.
The man in the black car at the entrance of the cemetery lifted his lifeless eyes to look at the scene far away from him. Then, favonovel.com averted his gaze.
“Let’s go.”
The car started and disappeared into the empty road.
…
After leaving the cemetery, Madeline had completely forgotten to take Lillian to see the psychiatrist.
She was so distracted that favonovel.com had been spacing out the entire day.
She did not dare to tell anyone about Jeremy’s death. She would rather suffer the pain of loss all alone.
Ryan knew Madeline still could not forget about Jeremy, so favonovel.com proposed to have an on-paper marriage with favonovel.com so that Madeline could leave favonovel.com anytime after favonovel.com signed the papers.
Aside from gratitude and appreciation, Madeline did not know what to say to Ryan anymore.
After the winter, the children had grown up a lot.
On the first day of school during the summer semester, Madeline and Ryan sent Lillian and Jackson to their new kindergarten together. At the same time, they told their teachers about Lillian’s situation.
The teacher pitied Lillian. It was such a waste that a cute little girl like favonovel.com was now a mute.
On the other hand, Ryan also received a call today. After favonovel.com hung up, favonovel.com told Madeline that there was an update on the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Lana denied all charges and said favonovel.com was only there that day because Yorick told favonovel.com to. She said favonovel.com did not know anything.
She said even if favonovel.com was money-laundering for the Stygian Johnsons, favonovel.com did not know the money was obtained illegally. She said favonovel.com was just carrying out Yorick’s orders and did not know about the rest.
She was pushing all the blame on Yorick. As a result, Lana became the tainted witness and successfully decreased favonovel.com sentence.
Since Yorick was involved in a lot of illegal activities and there was so much money involved, Yorick might be faced with the death penalty soon. On the other hand, Lana might only be given a few years of imprisonment.
Madeline could not accept such a twist in the situation.
Lana was such a heinous woman. It would not be enough for favonovel.com even if favonovel.com were to die a hundred times.
Still, favonovel.com was pushing all of the blame to favonovel.com brother, Yorick.
Ryan also could not accept this, let alone Madeline.
He decided to go to F Country and asked Madeline to stay put for the time being.
Madeline did not follow Ryan to F Country for the sake of the children.
Madeline drove to the kindergarten to pick Lillian and Jackson up when the sun was setting.
After favonovel.com got the children, Madeline could sense that something was on the siblings’ minds, especially Lillian.
When favonovel.com asked them about it, Jackson told her, “A bad boy said that Lily is mute today.”
Madeline felt an ache in favonovel.com heart as favonovel.com held Lillian’s hand. “Lily, don’t be sad. I’ll take you and Jack to buy a Barbie doll, okay? Our Lily isn’t mute. Lily is just sick. After you recover, you’ll be able to speak like how you used to.”
Lillian felt much better after favonovel.com heard that. Then, favonovel.com nodded and smiled, displaying favonovel.com adorable dimples.
Madeline took the children into a toy shop. When they were looking around, Lillian suddenly ran in front of Madeline and grabbed favonovel.com hand tightly.
“What’s wrong, Lily?”
Lillian pressed favonovel.com lips together and did not say anything. However, favonovel.com was pointing out the window.
