Chapter 134
Madeline slowly stood up, taking in the sight of the young woman standing behind her husband. She couldn’t recall the last time she had seen someone who resembled her standing before her.
Seeing the young woman shocked her as much as her husband letting them come to her. Madeline never expected to see any more of the false claims since Victor made the threat he would kill all those coming to lie.
"Victor, is it?" She asked, her hands clutching her dress. Madeline could not have her heart broken once more. She had finally come out of that sunken place to take care of her other daughter and be a good wife to her husband.
"We will leave the two of you to speak. Come," Victor looked at Zayne. It was time for the women to talk.
Zayne nudged Rose forward so she wouldn’t try to leave with him and stepped out with Victor.
Rose watched as the door closed, leaving her with Lady Ambrose.
"Come closer," Madeline said, her body frozen in place. Her knees felt weak and if she took one step she might fall.
Rose did as Madeline requested, taking small steps toward the lady.
Madeline covered her mouth, tears filling her eyes as that feeling was finally back. A connection she never felt with those who came claiming to be her daughter. Still, there was one way to confirm.
