Chapter 1478
Jeremy stopped halfway through his sentence.
Madeline asked curiously. “What’s wrong with him?”
Looking at Madeline’s alluring eyes that were filled with curiosity, a subtle smile flashed across Jeremy’s handsome face.
“It’s fine. Go on about your business.”
He did not continue and walked past Madeline to leave.
Madeline turned her body and looked at the empty doorway. At this moment, her heart was already gone.
She felt as if she was suffering in pain when she was faced with the man she loved and wanted to depend on the most, yet she could not tell him about her pain and conflicts.
However, she was indeed powerless at this moment.
Madeline walked to the bag Carter handed to her. After she opened it, she saw that the contents were just some daily necessities and clothes. The clothes looked simple and plain like he had already prepared them for her a long time ago.
“Carter.”
Madeline muttered.
‘What is this man planning?’
Madeline did not have a direction, so she did not continue to make things difficult for herself by thinking about this.
She changed into another set of clothes and put on a new mask before looking for Eloise.
When she went downstairs, she saw the maid pushing Eloise back from the courtyard. As such, Madeline walked hurriedly over to her.
Madeline felt as if her heart was bleeding when she saw Eloise sitting on the wheelchair with a dumb expression on her face.
She bent down slightly and gently held Eloise’s hand to give her warmth.
Madeline was coaxing Eloise like she was a child. After she tucked her in bed, she went back to her room.
She removed her mask, and when she was about to relax and take a shower, she heard the phone on her bed ringing.
Aside from Carter, no one else would call her.
Madeline was about to pick up the call when suddenly, the lights in the room went out and the phone stopped ringing.
The room instantly plunged into darkness, and Madeline could only feel her way to the door using the moonlight.
However, her hand that was about to touch the doorframe touched a warm wall of flesh without noticing.
Madeline was shocked. When she subconsciously tried to withdraw her hand, the person pulled her back with an even greater force.
She lifted her head suddenly and in the dark, her eyes met Jeremy’s deep and alluring eyes.
At the same time, she realized she was not wearing her mask. Her hideous face was completely exposed to Jeremy’s eyes!
