Chapter 1486

‘Do I have a special feeling for her because she looks like Eveline?’

He pondered before going out.

Madeline could sense Sean watching her. The wound in her heart was greatly healed by those gazes.

She lowered her head to see Eloise looking in the direction where Sean left and she was smiling.

Madeline smiled as well. “Mrs. Montgomery, let’s go out for a walk, okay?”

After she said that, she felt someone tugging on her shirt from behind.

She turned around and saw two pairs of innocent big eyes looking back at her.

“Miss, can you take me and Lily as well? Today is Sunday, so Daddy doesn’t have time to play with us.”

Jackson looked at Madeline expectantly while waiting for an answer.

Madeline wanted to spend some time with the children anyway, so she agreed.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

“You’re the best, miss.” Jackson displayed his subtle dimples and grabbed Lillian’s hand to follow Madeline.

Naomi came out from the house, and when she saw the scene at the door, she curled her lips in a sinister smirk. Suddenly, she had a plan to test her theory.

There was a park near Whitman Manor. Madeline pushed Eloise and took Lillian and Jackson as they walked leisurely over there.

The warm late autumn sun spilled on their bodies. Madeline lowered her head to look at Eloise and then glanced at the playful and adorable siblings. At that moment, she felt as if all of her wounds had been healed.

A lot of people were strolling in the park in the morning.

Madeline found a spot and pushed Eloise under a tree near the lake.

Lillian skipped to the tree and picked up the pink petals on the ground. Then, she turned around to run to Eloise and handed her the petals.

Eloise opened her hand and took the petals with a small smile.

Looking at the soft smile on Eloise’s face, Madeline wanted so badly to call out ‘Mom’. However, it felt as if something was stuck in her throat and she could not say that word no matter what.

When she was feeling sad, a small and warm hand grabbed hers.

Madeline lowered her head to see Jackson looking at her with his gigantic eyes. “Miss, I think I’ve seen you before.”

“Really?” Madeline squatted and smiled while arching her eyebrows. “Jack, you’re the cutest boy I’ve ever seen.”

“Thank you.” Jackson smiled purely. “Miss, why are you wearing the mask? I want to see your face.”

When Madeline heard that, her heart sank. Then, she explained patiently and gently, “My face is hurt and I’m still undergoing treatment. If I take it off now, my wound might get infected. I’ll let you see how I look when I’m all better, okay?”

Jackson nodded sensibly. “I think your eyes look so much like my mommy’s,” he said and then looked at Lillian. “Lily, do you think so? Do you think her eyes look the same as Mommy’s?”

Lillian lifted her pristine and clear eyes to look into Madeline’s eyes seriously. Then, she nodded.

Madeline felt heartbroken and pitiful when she looked at her precious daughter who could not speak.

She did not know when her Lillian would be able to recover.

“Miss, I think you must be a beauty. You must be as beautiful as my mommy. However, my mommy is a little different than before. I think she doesn’t like me that much anymore and I don’t know why.” Toward the end, Jackson sounded like he was talking to himself.

He turned around and grabbed Lillian’s hand to walk to the side of the lake. “Lily, look, a fish!”

“Jack, hold your sister’s hand. Be careful,” Madeline urged. Even if there were barriers on the side of the lake, the children were still too young.

“I’ll be careful. Don’t worry, miss,” Jack turned around and replied. Then, he held Lillian’s hand even tighter.

Indeed, Madeline did not need to worry about her son.

She turned back to push the wheelchair. “Mrs. Montgomery, let’s go to look at the fishes as well.”

Eloise looked at Madeline and nodded. Her eyes looked abnormally warm.

Madeline looked into Eloise’s eyes and smiled. When she lifted her head to look over, she suddenly heard Jackson exclaiming, “Ah! Lily!”
