Chapter 116

Madeline looked on as Sean gently put the pendant on Meredith’s neck, and Meredith’s eyes were full of tears with a touched look on her face.

“How wonderful, the pendant has finally returned to our precious daughter.” Eloise’s elated voice could be heard. Her gaze was filled with motherly love as she looked at Meredith.

Looking at that scene, Madeline could not help but cry as an inexplicable pain shot through her heart.

She stepped forward and tried to explain. “I did not steal that pendant, my grandfather left it…”

“Madeline, what are you still trying to do?!” Rose suddenly interrupted her, forcefully pulling Madeline’s shoulder. “Get out of here this instant! Don’t for a moment think that Meredith is an easy target!”

Rose continued to shout as she pulled Madeline away from them.

Madeline wanted to fight back, but her body was very weak. Her vision got hazier as she looked at the familial scene in front of her. The pain in her heart intensified looking at Sean and Eloise tenderly hugging Meredith.

She wished desperately that Eloise and Sean would turn around to look at her, and she finally got her wish. Eloise did shift her gaze onto her, but it was a look full of hate.

Eloise hated her.

Just by looking at her, Eloise would be filled with disgust.

Madeline’s heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and blood was pouring out of the wound. No, the wound itself felt like it was being filled with salt.

Madeline never knew why she cared so much for Eloise, why she liked her, and wanted to get closer to her. However, now she realized the reason, yet, she did not dare dwell on it…

As she was deep in thought, Madeline was shoved by Rose, falling on the floor.

“Get lost!” Rose spat at Madeline, and had a fierce look on her face as she warned her, “Listen carefully, if you dare to even get close to Mer again, your life will be at risk!”

After threatening Madeline, Rose turned around and went back in.

Madeline tried to stop her tears, but due to her tumor, her stomach was constantly in pain, to the degree where she could not get up.

Just as Madeline wished for someone to help her up, she suddenly saw a wheelchair stop by her side.

She looked up in disbelief and saw Eloise.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up hopefully.

However, at the moment, Eloise raised her hand and threw the pink carnation that Madeline gave her at Madeline’s face.

“Madeline, don’t ever come near to our family again. I will never forgive you if you bully our precious daughter anymore!” Eloise gave a stern warning before softly telling Meredith who was pushing the wheelchair, “Dear, push me inside.”

“Okay,” Meredith said obediently, pushing Eloise toward the elevator.

Madeline sat on the cold floor in despair. She saw Meredith turn her head around, flashing a victorious and sinister smile at her.

Madeline endured the pain that was coursing through her body, biting down on her lips as she looked at the pendant on Meredith’s neck. She suddenly understood why her grandfather had died…

Madeline stood up and leaned against the corner, waiting for Eloise’s room to be empty. She then covered up her face and hurried inside.

She took out the toothbrush that Eloise used in the morning before rushing away.

Madeline immediately went to perform a DNA test nearby. After two days, she received a call, asking her to personally collect the report.

On the way there, Madeline was filled with anxiety. The answer seemed to already be in her heart, but she did not have the courage to accept it.

After receiving the report, the few pieces of paper felt like they weighed a ton in her hands, causing her to not have the strength to open it.

She decided to head home before looking at it, but the moment she stepped out the door, a burly looking man forcefully grabbed onto her wrist.
