Chapter 58 The Dove and the Magpie
Sam’s name was written on her phone screen. Madeline let out a sigh of relief. Great. Now I don’t have to think of what I have to say to Sebastian. “I’ll pick a phone call up,” she told Sebastian with a smile. He nodded.
“Hello? Sam?” Madeline placed the phone by her ear as she walked to a quieter spot.
“Madeline…” Sam started on the other end of the line before pausing for a long while.
Madeline noticed how he sounded rather odd. “Yes, Sam? Is anything the matter?”
“Um… I heard about your birth parents…” Sam muttered.

“Dan told me about most of what happened. If it’s true…” Sam paused for a moment. “I’m sorry for all these years, Madeline…”
“It’s no big deal…” Madeline smiled. “It was hard in the past, but now that everything is over, it all feels like a dream now that I look back at it. Once I got through it, it no longer seems that hard anymore…”
