The little princess called Madeline favonovel.com mommy again.
Madeline could not express the excitement favonovel.com was feeling right now with words. However, the overflowing joy in favonovel.com eyes was evident.
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s twinkling eyes and approached Madeline with Lillian in his arms.
“I think my daughter likes you a lot. Can you help me hold this child to comfort her?”
Madeline did not expect Jeremy to say that. Of course, Madeline would be more than happy to.
She nodded quickly and reached out favonovel.com hands to hold Lillian.
When Naomi saw this from the living room, favonovel.com felt agitated and nervous.
Was this because blood was thicker than water and Lillian was favonovel.com flesh and blood?
Was that why the little thing could sense the woman holding favonovel.com right now was favonovel.com birth mother?
Naomi clenched favonovel.com fists in silence when favonovel.com saw Madeline carrying Lillian upstairs. Plus, favonovel.com also gritted favonovel.com teeth.
She could not let this continue. If the little girl had this feeling, it meant that Jeremy would know who was the real Eveline Montgomery sooner or later.
Naomi pondered silently and felt that favonovel.com could not sit still and do nothing.
She did not have anyone left. She no longer had Ryan’s orders and instructions, so favonovel.com had to depend on herself.
Madeline carried Lillian to favonovel.com room where Jackson was doing his homework.
“Miss Quinny,” Jackson greeted politely as favonovel.com blinked his lively wide eyes. “What’s wrong with Lily? Why are favonovel.com eyes red?”
After Lillian heard what Jackson said, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com crystal clear wide eyes aggrievedly.
Madeline patted the child’s back while feeling pitiful. She sat down on the sofa with Lillian.
“Good girl.”
She caressed the little girl’s head comfortingly. She wished that favonovel.com voice would sound nicer now. At least, favonovel.com did not want it so hoarse and grave because it did not sound gentle at all.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest without saying a word while favonovel.com played with favonovel.com fingers.
Madeline remembered what Naomi said just now. After staying silent for a while, favonovel.com asked Lillian probingly, “Lily, tell me where does it hurt?”
Lillian understood what Madeline was saying. She reached out favonovel.com adorable finger and pointed at both of favonovel.com arms.
Madeline quickly rolled up Lillian’s sleeves. It would be better if favonovel.com had not looked. After favonovel.com took a look, Madeline wanted so badly to rip Naomi into pieces.
She spotted the red and purple bruises on favonovel.com daughter’s arms and could tell how violently Naomi had treated her.
Naomi knew Lillian could not speak and favonovel.com was a slow, adorable little girl, so favonovel.com chose to take action against this child.
She would hesitate if it was Jackson.
“Why are there red spots on Lily’s arms?” Jackson furrowed his brows in concern, looking worried.
Lillian leaned against Madeline’s chest aggrievedly. “Mommy, Mommy.”
Madeline felt favonovel.com heart aching as favonovel.com held the little princess in favonovel.com arms tightly.
“Lily, Mommy won’t allow you to get hurt for no reason.”
Madeline finished saying that as calmly as favonovel.com could. Then, favonovel.com placed Lillian on the sofa, got up, and told Jackson, “Jack, watch your sister. I need to go out for a bit and I’ll be back soon.” Madeline turned around suddenly.
“Where are you going?” Jackson asked curiously behind Madeline.
Madeline suppressed favonovel.com anger and turned back to smile gently at the child.
