Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2427

“Maddie, it's not like you don't know. I haven't had a mother since I was a child. The person who gave

birth to me just gave me this body and nothing else.”

Ava's remarks sounded like she was acting in a fit of pique, but she still obediently drank the soup

made by Madeline.

Madeline nodded and sat down at the side. Then, she looked at Ava very seriously. “But Ava, from an

objective point of view, what kind of people do you think your parents are?”

Ava paused while drinking the soup. Even though her expression seemed a little reluctant, she still

spoke seriously.

“If you look at it from an outsider’s perspective, one of them is a successful lady who’s intelligent,

elegant, kind, and generous. The other is an influential doctor with both medical skills and morality.

Both of them are outstanding well-known figures.”

“That’s all?” Madeline asked. “If you look at it from another perspective, how do you think they treat

you?”

“Me? They’re great.” Ava smiled again, but this smile looked very ironic. “After gaining success, they

want to take back the garbage they threw away in the past to make up for their regrets and guilt.” 1

Madeline knew that Ava would overthink, but she also understood why. Even so, she knew that in Ava’s

heart, she was longing for the warm moment of a family reunion.

After careful consideration, Madeline decided to tell her the truth that Raegan did not dare to say out

loud.

She deliberately waited for Ava to finish drinking the chicken soup and sit down comfortably on the bed

before she spoke.

“Ava, when your mother left you, she had her own involuntary difficulties.”

After hearing what Madeline said, Ava was stunned for a moment. Then, she started feeling doubtful.

“Difficulties? What kind of difficulties can make a mother abandon her own daughter? Maddie, you

worked so hard back then to keep Jack. Were her difficulties harder and more challenging than yours?”

Madeline sighed helplessly as Ava questioned her. “Maybe the pain I suffered physically was much

worse than your mother’s, but mentally, your mother was subjected to countless torture. Your mother

was sick at the time, and it was a disease that made her unable to control herself.”

The look in Ava's eyes changed slightly. “Maddie, what do you mean? what disease can make a parent

abandon their biological child?”

“A disease that made her lose the freedom to act independently and one that fills the body with so

much negative energy that the patient would just want to escape from reality.”

Ava's expression seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, she moved her lips and guessed,

“Depression? Is it depression?”

Madeline nodded. “Yes, she had severe depression. She had to leave you because she knew that she

would only bring you misfortune and sadness if she stayed. She had no way of controlling what this

disease would do to her emotions. After leaving you, your father was worried that your mother would do

something stupid, so he went to your mother. After that, he realized that you were still on the street,

when he went back to look for you, he could no longer find you.”

After hearing the truth, Ava was like a statue, she was motionless, only feeling as though her breathing Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

and heartbeat had stopped.

“Because your mother was so emotionally unstable, she signed the divorce papers with your father

before leaving. Later, your mother moved to Y Country. Your father lost your mother and couldn't find

you. That was why he left this place that had brought him so much sadness.”

Madeline raised her hand and gently held Ava's slightly trembling hand. “Ava, your parents didn't have

the courage to tell you this because they’re worried that you might think they’re lying to get you back,

but these are the facts.”

Ava bit her lip. She could not stop the tears that overflowed from her eyes, but she still laughed

stubbornly. “Maddie, how do you know this is true? What if they’re lying to you?”
