Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 386 – He approached to support a
panting Eloise lovingly. “What happened, Elosie?”
Eloise’s eyes were red as he pressed a hand above her aching heart. “I just found out that Meredith… She… She
was never our daughter…”
“Wha-What are you talking about?” All color drained from Sean’s face.
Sean felt his body shiver as Eloise retold the entire incident.
With Eloise in tow, they went to talk to Meredith again, but it was to no avail as she refused to speak.
Meanwhile, Rose and Jon were nowhere to be found. They had seemingly vanished into thin air.
The two returned home in the end, the emptiness of the huge villa suffocating them.
Eloise searched through Meredith’s room for a lead, but all she could find was the gold pendant she had made
years ago for their newborn.

The name ‘Eveline’ could still clearly be seen on the pendant.
The afternoon sun was bright, a stark contrast to the gloom over Eloise and Sean’s heart.
Eloise’s heart clenched painfully as tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Not even Sean’s comforting words could bring an end to her tears.
While Sean was not doing any better, there seemed to be a glimmer of relief within him.
He was relieved that such a wretched woman was not their daughter. He was relieved that their daughter was still
alive.
Knock, knock, knock. A maid suddenly knocked on their room door. “Sir, Madam. Mr. Whitman and Ms. Vera are
here.”
Eloise and Sean immediately lifted their heads, the former’s eyes flaring with a prayer of hope. “Perhaps Vera
would know something.”
With that, she wiped off her tears and ran down the stairs, ignoring the pain in her hand.
Madeline and Jeremy entered the living room to find Eloise dashing down the stairs messily with Sean following right
after.
What was going on?
Meredith shared a confused look with Jeremy before turning back to smile at them. “I heard you got out of the
hospital, Mrs. Montgomery. Jeremy and I are here to see you.”
Eloise’s rushed footsteps turned into elegant ones at her words as she reined in her emotions to give a kind smile.
“Sean told me you were the one who donated blood to me, Miss Vera. Thank you. You’ve kept me from a life-
threatening situation.”
Her eyes turned to look at the floor in shame as she spoke frankly.
“Yet I kept thinking that you were trying to pick on Meredith, and I even foolishly claimed that I didn’t need your
blood.”
Madeline was shocked at the words she heard.
Eloise smiled kindly as she approached them.
“Please, Miss Vera, come take a seat. I’d like to apologize for what happened yesterday. Don’t worry, I won’t let it
happen again.”
Madeline smiled as she glanced at Jeremy. “With Jeremy here, I’m sure no danger could make their way to me.”
With that, she turned and sat. Lifting her eyes again, they zoned in on the gold pendant in Eloise’s hands.

One look was enough for Madeline to recognize the pendant. It was the one her grandfather had given her, the one
with her birth name on it.
Then, her eyes trailed up to Eloise who looked nothing short of exhausted. Her complexion was dull while her eyes
were red as if she had been crying moments ago.
Perhaps she was worried about Meredith.
Madeline thought out loud in a mocking tone, “Are you sad because of what happened to Meredith, Mrs.
Montgomery? It doesn’t matter what you think of me. Even if you’re adamant about me picking on Meredith on
purpose, I don’t regret what I’ve done, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Meredith deserves the punishment for her
actions.”
Madeline watched Eloise huff self-deprecatingly at her words as tears began to trickle from the corner of her eyes.
Madeline was shocked to see such a reaction, but Eloise lifted her gaze to meet the others there. “I’m so sorry, Miss
Vera. I was a fool to refuse your advice and question your intentions when you were merely telling the truth.
Meredith really isn’t my daughter.”
