Chapter 178 Not Stooping To Her Level

“Is that so?” Madelyn glanced at the two of them, her gaze icy.

Just a moment ago, Madelyn had clearly caught the fleeting look in their eyes, a clear sign that something fishy was going on.

“Yeah. Dad has recovered. You don’t have to worry anymore,” Eunice added.

Madelyn broke into a smirk. “Regardless of whether there’s a reason for me to worry, I’ll only know once I’ve seen him.”

After she finished speaking. Madelyn swiftly turned around and ascended the stairs.

Eunice’s heart tightened. “Hey!”

Regina grasped Eunice’s hand without hesitation. “Don’t worry, let her go. There’s no way she can notice anything amiss.”

Before long, Madelyn arrived at her father’s room.

When he walked in, Derek was lying on the bed, engrossed in a newspaper. He seemed to be in good spirits and nothing appeared out of the ordinary.

Only then did Madelyn breathe a sigh of relief. She stepped inside, asking, “Dad, are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort?”

“Maddie? When did you come back?” Derek looked up to see his darling daughter, a sight that filled him with joy.

Madelyn walked over and sat by the bed, tucking her father into his blanket.

Then, she gently said, “Dad, you are sick. Of course I came back to see you.”

Derek nodded, feeling quite comforted.

“But why didn’t you tell me when you fell ill? I was worried sick,” Madelyn said in a hurt tone before leaning into her father’s embrace.

In that moment, Derek felt a surge of warmth deep within his heart.

It seems like this girl has truly changed.

Back when she was living in the Thornton residence. Derek had always indulged her to the point of spoiling her. As a result, she had grown to become extremely willful and arrogant.
