Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 848

Chapter 848

Madge finally told her parents the truth about what had happened all those years ago.

Their outrage was only natural, and their bitterness was to be expected.

Thankfully, neither of them got so worked up that it affected their health; no one fainted on the spot, either.

That was a huge relief for Madge.

Gradually, her parents calmed down, and within a few days, it was as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened at all.

Instead of returning to Pinehollow, Madge and Norris talked things over and decided to stay on in Lumina City for a while longer. Partly, they wanted to keep the older couple company. But, more than that, they worried that, after learning the truth, her parents might do something reckless.

After all, the way her mother had clenched her jaw and shot furious glares was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.

Yet, after venting her anger, it seemed the worst had passed.

But Madge couldn't rest easy.

Norris tried to reassure her. "You're overthinking it, honey. Your folks seem happy as can be. They're all smiles every day-doesn't look like they're hiding anything to me."

Madge shook her head. "You don't understand."
