Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 248

Howard watched his mother go, a sigh escaping his lips.

He understood her unspoken concern, the pain of their long separation weighing on both of them.

He didn’t object.

Instead, he turned to Madisyn and said, “Make yourself comfortable.

I’ve got some fresh fruit here.

”

Madisyn glanced at the neatly arranged platter of fruit, her heart aching slightly.

Here was her brother, once full of life and charm but now reduced to a solitary figure meticulously managing life on his own.

Under different circumstances, he could have been the kind of person who captured hearts effortlessly.

“Howard, after the accident, did you ever seek out medical treatment?”

Madisyn spoke, her voice gentle.

Howard let out a deep sigh, and after a long pause, replied, “I tried… but nothing worked.

”

The way he said it made it clear that he had seen countless doctors, each visit only deepening his despair.

“Would you let me take a look?” Madisyn asked.

Howard didn’t reply, his silence speaking volumes.

The thought of exposing his wounds, even to his own sister, was almost unbearable.

He had once been carefree, vibrant, and full of life, but now, he felt like a shadow of that person- a body marred by scars and a crippled leg, each a painful reminder of what he had lost.

Howard had kept his scars hidden from the world, even from his own family.

He had built walls around himself, distancing everyone, even those who loved him.

“Howard, if you trust me, Let me help you.

Maybe I can help you get better.

” Madisyn looked straight into his eyes, her voice unwavering, As Howard met her gaze, something stirred within hima sense of security he hadn’t felt in a long time.

There was something in her voice, in the way she looked at him, that made him believe she might be telling the truth.

But…Maybe she was just passionate about helping.

He knew Madisyn had grown up with the Chapman family, and she hadn’t been treated well by them.

Perhaps, that was what made her such a caring person.

If he refused her now, it would probably hurt her deeply.

“Alright,” he whispered.

With a deep breath, Howard closed his eyes and began to remove his hat and mask.

As he did, his disfigured face slowly came into view.

Howard kept his eyes shut, bracing himself for the reaction he feared.

He could feel Madisyn’s gaze on him, but instead of the recoil he expected, there was warmth-a gentle touch on his scarred skin.

Surprised, he opened his eyes to replace Madisyn standing close, her hand resting softly against his face.

This was the first time since the accident that anyone had touched him with such tenderness.

Most people recoiled at the sight of him; even his family struggled to hide their discomfort.
