Chapter 230: Family Introduction
"Jeremy?!" Her eyes snapped at the figure who had the same resemblance to Jeremy, her words barely leaving her mouth in a whisper.
But how can it be? Jeremy is dead, isn’t he?? But if Jeremy’s dead, who is that.... Who is that person staring at her??
Taking another cautious step back, Madeline subtly missed her footing and almost stumbled back, but a pair of protective arms immediately wrapped her waist, stopping her from coming in contact with the ground.
"Easy there." She heard Cassian speak softly as he helped her regain her balance, but her gaze never looked in his direction as they were still fixed on the window, but due to her backward movements, Jeremy’s face no longer came into view.
"Is she alright?" Osvaldo asked after taking note of her fixed gaze and the incredulity in her demeanor. "She has the expression of someone who has seen a ghost." He tilted his head inquisitively at her.
As though Osvaldo’s words had snapped her out of her bemusement, she turned to look at Cassian whose concerned Amber-brown eyes were on her, and with a trembling hand, she pointed towards the window.
"I saw him." Was all she could say to Cassian, still pointing at the opened window, and his eyes followed it. "I saw him right there, he was standing there, staring at me, I... I saw him there... he was.."
"Who did you see?"
"I saw him, I... I saw Jeremy." The last word left her mouth in a gasp, and then she covered her own mouth in disbelief, unable to believe it herself.
