Comeback Of The Adored Heiress -
Chapter 244
Dane couldn’t help but think how much better things would be if Howard could just recover and return.
The heaviness of it all made him sigh deeply.
Trying to push aside his frustration, Dane said, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we invite Howard to join us when we throw the celebration party? It’s been such a long time, and he’s been on his own for too long.
Maybe he’s ready to reconnect.
”
At the mention of her second son, Elaine’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.
The thought of him was a wound that never fully healed.
She nodded, her voice soft.
“Alright, I’ll go check on him.
”
A heavy silence settled over the family, thick with unspoken emotions.
Just then, Madisyn approached and immediately noticed her mother’s tear-streaked face.
Concerned, she asked, “Mom, what happened? Why are you crying?”
Elaine hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
Dane quickly stepped in.
“Mom, why don’t you take Madisyn with you when you visit Howard tomorrow? He hasn’t seen her since she got back.
”
Madisyn immediately caught on-they were talking about her brother, Howard.
His name was almost never mentioned in the family, always wrapped in a veil of silence.
Though she knew little about his illness, Madisyn had always felt that no obstacle was too great to overcome.
Elaine looked at Madisyn with a gentle expression.
““Madisyn, would you like to see Howard?”
Without a second thought, Madisyn answered firmly, “Yes, of course.
”
When they returned home, Kristine was nowhere to be found in the Living room.
No one seemed to notice her absence as Glenn immediately began instructing the butler to start preparations for the banquet scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Kristine remained in her room, listening intently to the sounds outside.
She could hear the footsteps and muffled conversations of people moving about, but no one came to check on her.
As the night wore on, the villa gradually fell silent.
Everyone had retired to bed, and still, no one had thought of her.
Sitting alone in her room, Kristine gazed out at the moon, feeling as though the world around her had plunged into darkness.
She closed her eyes, overwhelmed by a deep, aching pain.
She was tired-tired of being overlooked, tired of living like this.
Would this be her life forever?
No!
