Jeremy stopped abruptly in his tracks. He heard Lillian calling out to Madeline non-stop, “Mommy, Mommy.”
Jeremy was shocked. Lillian could finally call ‘Mommy’.
However, favonovel.com did not say anything. He caressed Lillian’s head and continued walking to the car that was parked on the side of the road.
When Madeline saw Jeremy walking away, favonovel.com asked Carter, “How did you appear so coincidentally? Are you protecting your so-called fiancée from the dark?”
Madeline wanted to say favonovel.com was watching her, but favonovel.com could only tactfully say it was protecting.
Carter’s long and black eyes looked into Madeline’s eyes indifferently before favonovel.com walked forward.
“Follow me if you don’t want to hinder the treatment of your face.”
Madeline knew favonovel.com needed to redress favonovel.com face every day at a certain time. However, favonovel.com did not think that this man came all the way here to take favonovel.com to do favonovel.com redressing.
After they got back to the manor, the doctor took care of Madeline’s wounds according to Carter’s instructions.
She went without anesthetics today, so Madeline could clearly feel the stinging pain burning and spreading across favonovel.com face. However, a coolness gradually replaced the burning sensation.
When it ended, Madeline picked up the mirror to look at favonovel.com face. Perhaps it was because they had just taken care of the wounds, so they were slightly red and swollen. They looked even more hideous than before.
“Dr. Lane, how long will it take before scabs form?” Madeline could not help but ask. She was impatient now.
“Soon. It’s healing.” The doctor’s answer gave Madeline a lot of hope.
After favonovel.com said that, Carter walked in from the door.
When favonovel.com saw Madeline’s face, the reaction favonovel.com gave seemed natural. “Good recovery.”
He was calling this process good, and Madeline had no way to refute him.
He dismissed the doctor, and after favonovel.com was alone with Madeline in the room, favonovel.com asked nonchalantly, “Do you still have feelings toward Jeremy? You don’t look like you’re seeking revenge on favonovel.com but more like you’re taking care of favonovel.com and getting close to him.”
“…”
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. Did favonovel.com know about what happened last night in the study between favonovel.com and Jeremy?
“Why aren’t you talking?”
Carter asked and did not give Madeline any time to think of a reason.
However, Madeline did not panic. She calmly looked into Carter’s questioning eyes.
“Mr. Carter, the best way to avenge an old flame is to lower his defense and give favonovel.com some fake warmth. When favonovel.com starts to have feelings for you again, that’s when you dump him. Don’t you think it’s more fun that way, Mr. Carter?”
Carter listened thoughtfully, but the way favonovel.com looked at Madeline became weirder.
“Suddenly, I’m longing for the day your face recovers. I really want to see what a woman with such extraordinary opinions looks like.”
“…”
Madeline did not say anything but, of course, favonovel.com also wished for favonovel.com face to recover to the way it was.
However, could favonovel.com face go back to the way it was?
Madeline stayed the entire day in the manor. At dusk, favonovel.com left the manor herself.
She did not know whether Carter was asking someone to follow her, but favonovel.com did not feel like favonovel.com was being followed.
If favonovel.com really was, then Carter’s subordinates were highly skilled.
Madeline did not have much money, so favonovel.com could only take the subway. After favonovel.com got off the train, the sky had turned dark.
She walked in the direction of Whitman Manor but when favonovel.com stepped foot inside, favonovel.com saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
When the person saw Madeline, they turned around and lifted a sinister smirk. “I’ve been waiting for you, Eveline Montgomery.”
