Chapter 582


    McNeil Howard felt someone burning holes in the back of his head So he followed the gaze and


    paused just a tad.


    The girl was about the same age as his daughter Patricia and radiated a familiar aura, which caught his


    attention. He was a bit out of it, as if some past events or a certain someone from his past came to


    mind. But he didn’t linger on the girl and headed straight toward the door instead.


    Ellinor dropped her gaze from the man. Her mixed emotions finally settled down


    McNeil Howard had once hurt her mother, driving her into aer and forcing her to leave home with


    young Ellinor. That’s why old Mr. Bagley couldn’t stand his guts. She had no memones of her biological


    father, not even a vague shadow of him resided in her memory. A man this heartless must have never


    taken care of her when she was a child. So there was nothing for her to remember.


    “Marlinie!”

    Ellinor was still mulling over these thoughts when suddenly an old pair of hands grabbed hers tightly.


    She jumped, looking up to see an elderlydy.


    The olddy looked at her worriedly, “Marlinie, why are youing home sote from school? Where


    have you been?”


    Ellinor was taken aback, “I think you got the wrong person


    The olddy didn’t seem to hear her and kept mumbling to herself, “Marlinie, you can’t keeping


    home thiste. It worries me and your father”


    Just then, McNeil Howard reached the door. Hearing the olddy call the name Marlinie, he stopped in


    his tracks, turning to look back. The olddy was talking to the girl.


    Ellinor said helplessly. “You really got the wrong person. I’m not Marlinie!”


    The kind olddy frowned and admonished “Marlinie, stop being angry with me! Be a good girl, stop


    hanging out with that boy from the Howard family! He doesn’t look like good news, you’ll get hurt.”


    McNeil Howard and Ellinor both fell silent.


    From the olddy’s words, Ellinor figured out she was the matriarch of the Bagley family, her


    grandmother.


    Old Mrs. Bagley thought she was her mother?


    Marlinie was her mother’s name


    Byran came over to help old Mrs. Bagley “Grandma, you’ve mistaken her for someone else again.


    She’s my friend, not Marlinie.”


    Old Mrs. Bagley shook her head, saying excitedly. “Marlinie! She’s Marlinie, Marlinie is back.”


    Byran said helplessly, “Grandma, she really isn’t Marlinie.”


    Old Mr. Bagley coughed heavily a couple of times, then came over, “Stop it. You’re scaring the kids.”


    She looked at old Mr. Bagley with tears brimming in her eyes, “Dear, it’s Marliniel Marlinie is back;


    Marlinie is really back.”


    “Alright, alright, she’s back, she’s back!” Old Mr. Bagley yed along like it was nothing new. He


    helped her over to his side and then looked at the young girl that old Mrs. Bagley was pointing at. He


    was stunned. Whose daughter was this? She looked so much like Marlinie!


    Ellinor blinked, feeling a bit ufortable under his gaze. She managed to force a smile.


    Old Mrs. Bagley’s eyes welled up with tears, “It really is Marlinie! Look, Marlinie is really back.”


    Old Mr. Bagley seemed to have an epiphany and he sighed deeply, “Yeah, I see it, I see it. It’s time for


    your medication. Let’s go take your medication, and then you can see Marlinie.”


    He soothed old Mrs. Bagley, leading her away to calm her down.


    Ellinor watched the two old folks walk away, feeling a mix of emotions
