Henry was standing by his car at a corner outside the Caleb residence.
A pile of cigarette but was at his feet.
With one hand on his forehead and the other holding a cigarette, he took a long drag on the cigarette.
Not far away, Hazel turned away and said to Yulissa, “Yulissa, I still want to keep an eye on this guy. He’s Ms. Larson’s brother. He doesn’t seem a good person”
“How did you know!” Yalissa asked, slightly puzzled, still carrying the groceries that she had just bought, “He looks pretty patiful. He doesn’t seem a bad person to me.”
“You have no idea.” Hazel explained, keeping her eyes on the man outside, “Ms. Larson once had a really tough life and it was all because of these people!
“When Ms. Larson was a child, she got lost and then grew up in an orphanage. She was later adopted by two nice people. But then her biological parents found her.
“Her biological parents are actually very rich” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Isn’t it a good thing?” Yulissa seemed confused. “She was back to her family and they were rich. Shouldn’t she have had a good life from then on?”
Hazel sighed, “Not at all!” She became angry. She knew the truth from the informants
There were always informants hired by Caleb keeping an eye on Madeline.
“It’s the Larson family. They were tricked by an imposter who not only stole Ms. Larson’s life but was very ruthless. Ms. Larson suffered a lot because of her
“Her parents and brother favored that imposter so they treated Ms. Larson terribly. They were never fair. Honestly, this family’s awful.”
Har sighed recalling Madeline’s injuries when she first arrived there.
It had been pretty tough for her.
Hazel said, “People like them don’t deserve other people’s sympathy. Even if they knelt down in front of Ms. Larson forever, they shouldn’t be forgiven.
“But they’re just smoking here, polluting the air.
“Ms. Larson is quite merciful to them. She only ruined their business instead of killing them.”
Yulissa sighed, “Everyone here dotes on Ms. Larson. They adore her
“How could her brother do that? Shame on them.”
Hazel straightened her back/ “Ms. Larson is like a princess here.
“If she marries Mr. Simmons, she will certainly have a carefree life”
Hazel was on Caleb’s side.
All of Madeline’s brothers were bad guys. Hazel hoped Madeline would eventually fall in love with her bow
Not far away from the house, Henry flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and stamped on it.
He was still waiting for Madeline
He got into the car. He thought maybe Madeline had already returned or maybe she was
was somewhere else.
To Madeline, he was like a stranger. Naturally, she wasn’t obliged to inform him of her whereabouts.
It began to rain at night
The autumn ran was freezing.
The temperature plummeted significandy.
Henry drove around aimlessly and by evening, he arrived outside Caleb’s house. Looking at the villa bathed in the rain, he sat still.
He just watched the wipers swishing back and forth over the windshield, string in the car. Everything outside the car was blurry.
Hacel reported everything to Madeline. Madeline drew the curtains in the bedroom, saw the
car downstairs, frowned, and quickly closed the
curtains.
In that instant, Henry saw Madeline. He clamped his lips together and munnured, “She’s still here just as I thought
“But it seems that she doesn’t want to see me at all.”
Ding!
was a call from Jacob.
u’ve been
Jacob wasn’t very good at comforting people. He said unnaturally, “Henry, It’s raining. It’s okay to go out if you’re feeling down. But you’ve away for so long. Be careful
“Did Madeline upset you today? Please, come home. It’s cold outside and you’ll catch a cold.”
Henry also heard the sound of the rain over the phone.
Henry’s heart sank. He felt so blue.
Suddenly, he felt a chill.
It was freezing
He grasped the steering wheel as he looked at the light coming through the curtains. “Do you think Madeline will forgive us!”
“We re family.” Henry said in a low voice, “I wish we could return to the starting point”
Jacob paused for a moment and then said, “Henry, you cannot change what is already done.
“Let’s just let everything happen naturally!
Henry tilted his head to the side and opened the window, letting the drizzling rain into the car
It made him feel a bit more refreshed.

Madeline was in her bedroom reading a script. It was comfortable hiding under the covers. She didn’t notice it when Henry left.
Madeline rested her head on her palm, jotting down notes in the margins of the script,
Suddenly, Madeline coughed a little.
She felt her throat a bit itchy. She rubbed her nose. When it rained in the fall, the temperature would drop seriously. It was easy to catch a cold in this kind of weather
She didn’t worry about it and went downstairs to pour herself some warm water.
Soon, the filled her cup with wa
warm water
heard Madeline coughing and was a bit worried. “Ms. Larson, did you catch a cold? Do you want me to get you some pilly?”
“No need Madeline uid, waving her hand, “Go back to sleep. Don’t worry about me.”
Hazel thought about it for a moment and said, 111 make you some hot ginger tea. Get some rest after drinking it. You’ll feel better by tomorrow morning
After that, Hazel went to the kitchen.
Madeline looked at her from outside the kitchen, feeling a little bit helpless.
The sound of the rain disrupted quite a few people.
Outside the Larson residence in Japtum, someone was busy working. The pond was home to a lot of fish and lotus flowers. Its drainage was blocked because of accumulated mud due to the withered lotuses.
A servant wearing a raincoal was
was working tirelessly outside.
Vanessa was standing by the window, watching the people outside getting soaked through by the rain as they tried to clear the clogged drainage though dry could barely see anything
Vancou snorted.
11:05 AM
Feeling bored. Vanessa turned to Tiana. “Mom, winter’s coming. The year’s almost over.
“I remember Thomas and his family came here in the spring. It has been almost a year. When are they going to leave Japrium!”
Vanessa crossed her arms like a spoiled little princess and said, “Madeline beat Monica. I bet she has not been feeling safe these days?
Vanessa blew on her manicured nails and smiled smugly, “She’s so arrogant today. It will get her in trouble. When she gets beaten up, she’ll probably start to restrain herself.”
Tiana frowned. “Is the Williams family targeting Madeline?”
Vanessa said, “Of course! Last night, Monica got beaten up outside the club. She was furious. I tried to calm her down but it didn’t work. So, Madeline’s
‘s on her own now.
Tiana thought about it and put her phone down. True. Madeline is so ruthless. We can’t deal with her. We’re family after all. If the Williams family want to handle ber, we’ll just sit back and watch”
