How mature a child was to be able to convey such unease?
Madeline’s heart ached as favonovel.com kissed the little boy’s cheek.
“Jack, I promise you that I’ll tell you wherever I go next time. I won’t make you worry about me anymore, okay?”
Jackson nodded and blinked his beautiful wide eyes.
“Mommy, I know adults have a lot of things to do. I know. I will be a good and thoughtful boy so that I won’t cause trouble for Mommy and Daddy.”
Madeline was further saddened when favonovel.com heard this. Seeing the childish and handsome small face before favonovel.com made favonovel.com feel a pang in favonovel.com heart.
“Jack, I don’t want you to be so thoughtful. I hope you can be carefree and happy like your peers. ”
“I am happy.” Jackson smiled innocently. “Now that we have Juan and Jan, I am very happy, but I miss Lily.”
Half of Jackson’s smile disappeared. Of course, favonovel.com was talking about his little sister.
Madeline caressed his little head and said to comfort him, “She’s sick, and she’s receiving treatment in the hospital. I’ll take favonovel.com home once she’s better.”
“Can’t I go to visit her?” Jackson’s eyes were filled with longing. It was clear that favonovel.com missed his sister a lot.
Madeline thought about Lillian who was currently in F Country, and favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head remorsefully. “You can’t because she’s treating favonovel.com illness somewhere really far away. It’s difficult for you to go there.”
“Oh…” Jackson lowered his eyes in disappointment.
“Then I’ll wait for favonovel.com to get better. I believe that she’ll come home very soon!”
When Madeline heard his son’s energetic and optimistic answer, Madeline smiled, feeling content.
Soon after, Jeremy returned home as well.
The old house was a little livelier today. After all, there were two more children around. However, whenever the young, innocent siblings asked about Cathy and Adam, Madeline did not know how to answer them.
She could only tell them that Adam and Cathy went someplace very far away.
That place was so far that they could never reach there.
Madeline and Jeremy had a discussion and decided to go to Gray Villa together for the time being.
Although they knew that Carter would not hurt Shirley substantively, when they thought about how reluctant Shirley had been in the hospital, they still decided to bring Shirley back.
Among their reasons were Adam’s assistance in the past and their friendship with Adam.
However, when Jeremy and Madeline were about to leave, Carter arrived at the entrance of Whitman Manor in his car.
When favonovel.com saw Madeline and Jeremy about to leave, favonovel.com opened the car door coolly and walked up to them with a cold aura about him.
“It seems that you were about to head out. Were you going to look for me?” Carter asked slowly.
Madeline had no intention to beat around the bush with Carter, so favonovel.com went straight to the point.
“Carter, Shirley doesn’t want to go with you. Why are you forcing her?”
As Carter listened to Madeline’s question, favonovel.com lifted his cold and arrogant eyes. He scoffed, then spoke without answering favonovel.com question.
“She gave you the only anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69,” Carter said as favonovel.com looked at Jeremy. “Then, favonovel.com handed the anti-toxoid test reagent that can clear the poison in your body to you. Now, the two of you don’t have to worry about the poison affecting your bodies and lives.”
As Carter said that, his eyes turned cold. “But do you know the price of that stupid woman’s actions?”
