Chapter 1698

Author: Sixteenth Child
“I think so.” Cathy was certain about this.

She suddenly thought she could see her old self in Shirley.

Back then, she would similarly do anything for Felipe without hesitation. She would do it for Felipe no matter what it was.

Back then, she had even hypnotized Jeremy for that man…

However, that day was already long gone.

Now, not only was that day long gone but so too was that person.

While she was lost in thought, she heard Adam’s phone ringing.

“It’s Jeremy,” Adam said, gesturing to Cathy to not make a sound.

Cathy nodded, then Adam picked up the phone. “Don’t worry. I assure you, I’ll develop the anti-toxoid test reagent to heal Eveline as soon as possible. I've been busy with my research recently, so don’t worry if you can’t contact me. I’ll call the moment there’s an update.”

Cathy could tell that Adam did not want Jeremy to know about his captivity. Her heart suddenly ached for this man who always prioritized the needs of others with little consideration for himself.

    When the class teacher saw that Lillian had stopped, she curiously looked at the man standing outside the gate. She then bent down and gently asked Lillian, “Lily, do you know that man? If you do, nod your head. If you don’t, you can shake your head to tell me.”After the class teacher had spoken, Lillian neither shook nor nodded her head for more than ten seconds.The class teacher found this to be a little peculiar. She knew that while Lillian could not speak, she could understand simple sentences.She glanced at the man outside the gate and let go of Lillian’s hand before walking over.“What’s your name, sir? You’d said that you’re Lillian’s family, but it seems that she doesn’t know you.” The class teacher voiced her concern.“My last name is Johnson,” the man replied. He looked toward Lillian, who remained unmoving, and slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket.Lillian seemed to be roused by the candy. She blinked her vivid, clear, and large eyes, then put her small

    While Fabian could be considered a stranger, his behavior toward their little princess was out of the ordinary.Otherwise, why would he find Lillian immediately getting off the plane?An amusement park nearby.Since it was winter and the working hours, there were not many people at the park.Even though the sun shone brightly, it was not enough to warm the body in the chilling winter.Fabian was standing by the railing, watching Lillian who sat happily on the carousel. His face and eyes no longer held the warmth from earlier.He narrowed his eyes, staring at the candy on the palm of his hand.The candy wrapper had already faded, and the candy inside too had expired. Just like some other things, they had deteriorated in these two years.However, he very well understood that, despite the faded wrapper and expired candy, some ingredients, like some relationships, still held unique meaning.While still deep in thought, his phone started vibrating again.He knew that it had to be

    Madeline had not been able to contact Fabian the entire time. She also did not know where Fabian had taken Lillian. Despite her uneasiness throughout this ordeal, she still believed that Fabian would certainly not hurt Lillian.“Linnie, I know where Fabian had taken Lily.” Jeremy sent Lillian’s location to Madeline’s phone.This surprised Madeline. “Did you put a GPS tracker on Lillian?”“That’s the work of our precious son,” Jeremy looked proud as he said that. “Even though Jack is only, he could sometimes think more comprehensively than we could.”Madeline strongly agreed with this fact.There were several instances where Jeremy had managed to save Madeline from trouble in the nick of time thanks to her son.However, upon seeing Lilian’s location, Madeline’s heart started racing again.“Why’s Lily in the hospital? Why did Fabian take Lily to the hospital when she’s fine?”“Linnie, let’s not worry too much yet. We’re heading over now, and we’ll know what happened as soon as we

    ‘What?’Fabian’s answer, like a thunder in clear weather, shocked Madeline and Jeremy. The weight of the news felt like a sudden, heavy downpour, drenching them head to toe.Madeline’s vision went blank, as though all the oxygen in her body had been sucked out.“Linnie!” Jeremy supported Madeline, who seemed to be on the verge of fainting. Madeline, suddenly roused from her state, shot a glance at Fabian, then turned around and ran toward the doctor’s office nearby.Jeremy too glanced at Fabian, then quickly chased after Madeline. “Linnie, slow down.”He was worried about her, but at the same time, he was also worried about Lillian.‘No, there must be a mistake.‘Lily has been fine all this while. How would she have leukemia?’Jeremy kept denying this in his heart, as did Madeline.When they reached the doctor’s office, Madeline pushed the door open. As the doctor was about to speak upon seeing Madeline and Jeremy, they heard Lillian calling out to Madeline lovably, “Mom.”

    Madeline and Jeremy turned toward the voice and saw Fabian slowly walking into the office.He gazed at the little one, who was standing at a side, blinking her clear, large eyes at him. He could not help but frown slightly.“We basically could confirm that Lily has this disease,” Fabian answered with certainty. “I’ve already reminded you to be mentally prepared.”“Fabian, how would you know that my daughter has this disease? Why did you find my daughter immediately after getting off the plane?” Jeremy questioned, feeling doubtful. “Can’t I come back to see an old friend?” Fabian seemed to be downplaying his answer. He was even teasing the five-year-old Lillian as an old friend.Madeline resisted waves of pain crashing against her as she turned back toward Lillian.She had been so distressed earlier that she only just noticed the thick layer of gauze covering Lillian’s knee. “Lily, what happened here?”Lillian lowered her head and, for a few seconds, stared intensely at her k

    “No reason. I want to see her, so I did.”Fabian answered matter-of-factly. “That’s why you want to cut ties with us? It’s because you want to?”“Uh-huh,” Fabian replied with a half-smile as he lit the cigarette. “If there’s anything else you want to ask, I can answer you now so that you two won’t keep contacting me through all sorts of channels.”Fabian’s answer clearly showed that he had no intention whatsoever of maintaining contact with them after this.Jeremy’s long eyebrows knitted together as he was about to speak, but then he heard hurried yet familiar footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Madeline running toward him with a worried expression.Jeremy, not in the mood to deal with Fabian, quickly turned and ran to Madeline.“Linnie, did something happen to Lily?” he asked with concern, fearing that the situation would go from bad to worse.The look on Madeline’s face looked especially frightful, worrying him further. Madeline glanced at Fabian, who was enjoyi

    ‘Reason?’The puzzlement in Madeline’s eyes intensified. “What reason?”Jeremy seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but he suddenly shook his head gently. “Nothing. Maybe I’m just overthinking. Linnie, let’s briefly discuss Lily’s treatment.”He changed the subject, but he was starting to find Fabian’s change suspicious.Since Madeline was now more concerned about Lillian’s disease, she did not question.In the following days, Madeline and Jeremy had rushed between a few hospitals, and eventually found a place for Lillian in the hospital that was well-known and most authoritative in treating leukemia.Madeline could not stand seeing such a young child going through so much pain. She had initially expected the child to swiftly recover and be able to speak, but they were merely jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.Moreover, Eloise’s mind had yet to recover even now, so Madeline truly felt mentally exhausted. The night came as usual.Madeline was at the side of Lill

    “Didn’t you want to cut ties with us? Why are you still visiting my daughter then?” Madeline asked. “Fabian, can you tell me what kind of mentality you’re having right now?”“What kind of mentality…” Fabian murmured in repetition. He tapped his cigarette with his finger lightly. The tip of the flickering cigarette turned into ashes that fell by the side of his feet silently.“Heh.” Suddenly, he laughed.Madeline suddenly felt that the look in Fabian’s eyes had changed. His gaze now was filled with a kind of hostility.“If I tell you I have a mentality for revenge, what would you say to that?”Revenge.That word was very serious.Madeline frowned. “Are you going to take revenge on Jeremy and me? Do you think we’re the ones responsible for Yorick’s and Lana’s deaths?”Fabian narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of disappointment in them.“I thought we were friends this whole time, but eventually, I realized that I was just being used by you guys. Eveline Montgomery, we’re not

    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
