Jeremy's wise eyes swept across Fabian's face coldly. "Fabian, do you know why I became like this?"When Fabian heard Jeremy say this, he was filled with anger.He looked at Jeremy, noticing his linen gray hair and amber pupils. There was indeed a big change from the previous Jeremy.He did not quite understand it, but then he heard Jeremy say in a dissatisfied tone, "It's your good sister Lana who used a type of poison to make me like this.""What?" Fabian was shocked. "Didn't she like you a lot? How could she do such a thing to you?""Heh," Jeremy sneered, "That kind of woman, did you think that she really liked me? In this world, only Linnie cares about me sincerely.""..." Fabian was speechless for a moment. He was even more disgusted as to why he had a sister like Lana.The atmosphere in the car fell into a brief silence. After a while, Fabian could not sit still."Jeremy, are you driving in the wrong direction? Why haven't you found that car?"Jeremy did not open his mou
Jeremy and Fabian had not expected the man’s insane behavior.Seeing the car instantly surrounded by fire, Jeremy and Fabian ran toward Lillian at the same time.Jeremy's heart was as if it was being suspended from a height of 3,000 feet. His eyes were red when he looked at the child who had stayed in place because of his coldness.It was only a few steps away, but it was as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.Jeremy hurried over, but suddenly, the car exploded violently."Lillian!" Fabian yelled hysterically.Lillian's petite body went flying from the explosive air current. Jeremy was enraged as he rushed to catch Lillian who was about to fall to the ground."Lillian!"He took the child into his arms."Lillian! Lillian!"The little girl blinked her big round eyes weakly. Looking at the man in front of her, her little mouth moved.“Daddy.”Although no sound came from the little girl's mouth, Jeremy saw it. She was calling him ‘Daddy’.Jeremy's visi
She opened her eyes slowly, and when she woke up, she only saw darkness with the only light around being from the car’s lights.The passenger door then opened. Ryan was standing outside the door, and his voice sounded out lightly. "We’re here. Get out of the car."Madeline looked around vigilantly before getting out of the car.Ryan led the way as Madeline followed behind him.She looked around. Apart from the darkness, there was more darkness. It was as if she was surrounded by a huge black cloth.Apart from their overlapping footsteps, there was no other noise.After walking for about tens of yards, there was gradually light ahead.Ryan stopped his footsteps in front of a door. He unlocked the door by scanning his eyes and then looked at Madeline meaningfully with a smile."First, I’ll bring you to meet an old friend."As Ryan's voice fell, a figure appeared in Madeline's periphery.She followed the figure who was captured by her sight and saw the man who she once regarded
Madeline looked at the anti-toxoid reagent in front of her and thought of Jeremy.She knew that Jeremy would definitely not be willing to see her compromising and accepting Ryan's despicable demands.However, she knew better that she did not want to see a day when he would be in so much pain.Madeline clenched her fists tightly and looked at the man in front of her who looked like his victory was already determined. Her gaze was firm."Ryan, you can make a request, but if you cross the line, I won’t compromise."Ryan walked up to Madeline and picked up the anti-toxoid reagent in his hand. He smiled deeply. "I'm afraid you have no reason to refuse. I don't want him to suffer. You have no choice but to agree."...Hospital.Jeremy was pacing back and forth in the corridor anxiously. The calmness he always had was gone at this moment.There was still blood on his palms that he had not managed to wash off. All of them came from Lillian.Jeremy closed his eyes and took a deep brea
His emotions were very unstable. Lilian's safety was still undetermined. As a father, he could only use such a way to vent out his dissatisfaction and sense of insecurity.It was at this moment that the lights of the operating theater were turned off.Jeremy got up and strolled to the doctor who was coming out. "Doctor, how's my daughter doing? She's bleeding heavily. Where is she injured? Will my daughter's life be in danger?"He kept bombarding the doctor with tons of questions, his eyes glistening with anxiety."The child’s back was grazed with metal scraps. She was bleeding a lot and in a rather critical phase. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital just in time. For the time being, there's no danger to her life."The doctor then let out a sigh."However, the child’s head has suffered from a serious concussion. We'll have to wait till the child is awake before carrying out further examinations."Hearing the comment made Jeremy want to punch himself real hard.He was blam
Madeline asked straightforwardly, and the lady on the other end of the call giggled. "Eveline Montgomery, you don't have to be so eager to know who I am. Soon, we'll meet up.""I don't want to meet with someone who hides in a dark corner and sneers. Stop calling," Madeline warned her, and when she was about to hang up, the lady voiced out once again."You don't wish to meet up with me, but I'm looking forward to our encounter. Well, as a gift for our encounter, just think of your muted daughter who’s lying in the hospital with her life still in a critical phase.""What did you say? What do you mean?!" Madeline suddenly thought of something. "Did you order someone to kidnap my daughter?""You're right, it's me." The lady quickly admitted it. "But don't you worry, Eveline. I'll never lay a finger on you. Instead, I want you to be safe and healthy to witness how I torture those around you and make you suffer!"After the lady blurted out her last comment, the call was hung up abruptly
"Perhaps people like me should have just dropped dead for good. Last time, I harmed you and made you suffer so much. Now, I’ve harmed our daughter. I'm not even a human!"Jeremy hated himself. He raised his fist again and drove it straight to the wall, ignoring the pain that came flooding a second after."Don't bother about me, Linnie. Please stop loving someone like me, a cold-hearted man who never appreciates his beloved wife and daughter. I don’t deserve to have you guys. You and the kids should find a reliable man and forget about me."Madeline raised her gaze as soon as he was done talking.Her eyes went red. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Do you have any idea what you’re babbling on about? Jeremy Whitman, are you still trying to break my heart up to this date? In my entire life, except for you, who else can I fall in love with?! You tell me, what should I do to completely forget about you? Tell me!"Madeline shouted while feeling heartbroken. It was as
Madeline could recognize the voice. It was the same person who had been provoking her over the phone these days, the woman who said that Lillian was Madeline’s mute daughter!After being recognized, the lady seemed as if she had come well prepared. She curled her red lips and smirked. "Eveline, I said we'll soon meet each other. Aren't you surprised?"Madeline could not make out who the voice belonged to, but that evil smirk reminded her of someone."Are you there, Miss Montgomery?" The researcher's curious voice was heard over the phone.Madeline thought of taking off the lady's sunglasses, but her thoughts were suddenly disrupted."I'm sorry. I'm still all ears," Madeline quickly replied. However, the next time she raised her head, she realized the lady was missing. There was only a special scent that smelled rather special.Madeline knew that lady was trying to stir trouble on purpose and did not bother wasting another second at the parking lot.She focused all her attention
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
