Chapter 1498

To be honest, she was indeed Eveline.

Madeline felt a knot in her heart. She did not know whether Eloise felt something too.

She slowly squatted in front of Eloise and lifted her hand to grab Eloise’s hand. When she felt the warmth of the touch, she felt her grievances pouring out from her.

“Mom, I’m Eveline,” she said softly. She felt as if she could lower her facade in front of Eloise.

Eloise had not fully recovered yet, so she would not know what Madeline was talking about. Therefore, Madeline had a chance to release the weight in her heart this way.

When Eloise heard this, there was a glint in her eyes. It seemed as if an abundance of motherly love, gentleness, and benevolence were surging up from within her and enveloping Madeline warmly.

Madeline felt the warmth, and she did not think twice before pouring out all of the grievances and truth in her heart.

“Mom, the person who looks like me is Ryan’s ex-girlfriend. She took the opportunity on the day I went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients to make a cake to plot against me.

“Ryan brought me to a nameless island where he would visit me every day. He didn’t torture me, but he only wished for me to spend the rest of his life with him because the court had sentenced him to death.

“After that, Ryan said he wanted to have a bet with me. If I won, he’d let me go. However, I won and he changed his mind. In order to get away from him, I jumped into the sea from the yacht. Ryan chased after me, but for some reason, there was an oil leak and the yacht exploded…”

When she recalled what happened that day, Madeline felt her head buzzing. It was making her feel extremely unwell.

Madeline took a deep breath and continued telling Eloise what happened.

“The yacht exploded and Ryan died. Then, my face was burnt by the hot air of the explosion. That imposter knows I’m Eveline but she’s sure I won’t expose her because of how I look now…”

She laughed bitterly.

“I don’t dare to let the children see my face and I don’t dare to face Jeremy either. Even I’m unable to look at myself in the mirror. I look so wretched and hideous…”

Toward the end of her sentence, Madeline seemed to be talking to herself with her eyes already turned red.

When she was longing for comfort, Eloise stretched her hand and caressed her hair softly.

Madeline lifted her head in surprise to see Eloise’s eyes filled with benevolence and kindness. Her eyes were also shining with tears just like hers.

“Your face will become better,” Eloise suddenly said those five words while softly caressing Madeline’s hair again and again. Every word sounded so clear.

Madeline did not force herself anymore. She leaned against Eloise’s legs and enjoyed the motherly love.

Naomi saw this from a distance and scoffed arrogantly.

“Hmph, Eveline, I think you can only tell your idiot mother the truth now. However, do you really think that I’ll believe Ryan died just like that? You must’ve killed him!”

Naomi gritted her teeth and glared at Madeline. She looked around and noticed that there was no one around her, so she arrogantly strode over to where they were at.

“Tsk, tsk, how heartwarming.” Naomi mocked. She did not bother pretending in front of Madeline and Eloise anymore.

Madeline lifted her head when she heard that. When she saw Naomi, she wiped her tears and stood up slowly.

She looked piercingly and coldly at Naomi who was smirking at her with provocation.

“Why? Are you too lazy to pretend now?”

“Hmph, you’re just a freak who doesn’t have the guts to admit your identity and an idiot who can’t speak coherently. Do you think I need to wear my mask in front of you two?”

Naomi scoffed in disdain. “Eveline, you love your family so much. So, you’ll definitely save your idiot mother like you saved your daughter if she’s in danger, right?”

“Naomi, what are you trying to do?”

“Hmph.” Naomi scoffed ominously. “Open your eyes and see what I’m about to do!”
