Chapter 458

Margaret looked at Madelyn’s back as she muttered, “Where else can I find such a good household?”

She loved eating. This was her first time eating dill and abalone in the Jent residence. She had not tried those foods before. But she thought her husband would enjoy eating them if she brought them home.

However, Margaret would always get permission before bringing any food back home. She would never steal.

Margaret switched off the lights in the living room. Before she went upstairs, she grabbed a plate of washed strawberries. Those that she took for herself to eat were slightly rotten. She had already fetched those good ones to Madelyn’s room. She thought, ‘That poor kid is suffering. She’s all alone in such a big house. This must feel so lifeless for her. Yes, this house is comfortable for her, but it doesn’t feel like a home.

After Margaret went back to her room, she thought about something. She hurriedly called Rosario. It took her three tries to get through, “Hi Rosario, Ms. Jent came back and asked me to call you. Don’t worry; she’s doing fine now! When are you coming back? I miss you so much.”

Rosario coughed, “Ahem, ahem, ahem…”

Margaret exclaimed worriedly, “Oh my goodness. Why are you coughing? Are you sick? Are you feeling better?”

Rosario’s voice was weak as she said, “It’s just my usual health problem. It’s good that she’s doing fine.

Please take good care of her for me. Thank you so much.”

Margaret responded softly, “What are you talking about? It’s all thanks to you for introducing me to her.

I have such a good job now. I’ll go to the hospital to visit you tomorrow…”

The night was quiet. Madelyn walked out of the bathroom and displayed her first award.

Suddenly, the words that Ethan wrote in her exercise book appeared in her mind, ‘There would be no rainbows without sunshine and rain…

‘It seems like I’ve achieved that now…‘

Madelyn did not blame Ethan for making his choice. She was lost in her thoughts, ‘If I were Ethan, it’d be hard for me to move on too. After all, she’s indeed unique to him.

‘Everyone has a past that they can’t forget. I’ve never regretted being in a relationship with him. He’s a good man. But we aren’t destined to be together.‘

Madelyn got into bed. She took a few white pills before leaving a bedside lamp on and lying down to sleep.

At three in the morning, Madelyn had a dream. She dreamt of her mother sitting by her bedside with her hand caressing her face. Her mother said, “You’re very strong and brave. You’ve moved on from your sufferings.”

Madelyn asked her mother in a quiet voice, “But… Why do I still feel so hurt? Mom… Can you tell me what I should do next?”

Madelyn’s mother answered, “From now on, you’ll have to go through life on your own.”

Madelyn panicked, “Mom, where are you going?”

Madelyn’s mother replied warmly, “It’s time for me to go.”

That dark figure passed through the door and disappeared gradually.

“Mom!” Madelyn woke up with a lot of sweat. She immediately sat up and checked the time. It was only three–thirty in the morning.

She stretched her hand to turn on the light. She realized her vision was blurry because of her tears.

She felt extremely sad.

The room was very quiet. There was not any sound at all. A sense of desolation and loneliness overwhelmed her.

She then heard a loud clap of thunder. She hurriedly got up to close the windows. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from outside, lifting the curtains.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door urgently and said, “Ms. Jent, there’s a problem.

Quickly go downstairs and take a look. When I heard the thunder just now, I wanted to go to the yard to collect the clothes. But I saw someone outside. It was too dark, so I couldn’t see clearly. I was afraid it might be a ghost. So, I didn’t dare to open the door.” Margaret was scared and flustered.

Madelyn closed the windows before opening her door. She looked at the anxious Margaret and said, “There’s no ghost in this world. I’ll go down to take a look”

Outside the door, a person stumbled toward the villa. The pain in that person’s legs was so painful that they could not support their body…
