Chapter 373

Madeleine's residence. Upon arriving home, Madeleine sequestered herself in her bedroom. Abigail had died. She needed time to digest this new reality. It wasn’t sorrow she needed to process, but indeed, digestion. Processing the sudden death of this person, who once brought her endless darkness. Now the gloom had dissipated, and she experienced a sense of rebirth. "Mother..." Xiao Bao and Chris were worried about Madeleine and looked up at Beckett. Chris said: "Dad, did you quarrel with Mom?" Beckett crouched in front of Chris and Xiao Bao, picking them both up. "How could Dad ever quarrel with Mom? Mom's just not in a good mood. She needs some space to herself." Chris embraced Beckett's neck, "That's right, when I’m in a bad mood, I too like to be alone." "Chris is such a good girl." Xiao Bao pouted. "When I'm in a bad mood, I like to cry to a tree hollow. Dad once told me that if I tell the tree hollow about the things that upset me, it will consume them, and I'll feel happy again.”
