A cold and deep masculine voice sounded from the other end of the phone.“You’ve already had his daughter for a while so why aren’t there any updates? Don’t you want to seek revenge on behalf of your siblings?”Fabian frowned after he heard that. A look of indignation appeared on his youthful and handsome face.“I don’t need to tell you whatever I’m doing,” Fabian said in dissatisfaction.“But the only reason you know about the truth of your siblings’ deaths is because of me.“Fabian, even though your sister was not a pitiful person, she was still your sister. As for Yorick, you know very well how he treated you. Do you want the people who caused them to die to continue to live in this world freely?“Now that this child is with you, it’s your best chance to retaliate against them. Don’t hesitate. You’re just giving Jeremy opportunities if you hesitate.”The man was hinting at something through his words. At the same time, his tone sounded like a spell that was playing with Fabia
Madeline felt the corners of her eyes turning hot from emotions. She had not heard this child talk in so long.Now, she finally heard her talking again.That sweet voice was so clear and melodic.Madeline saw a small figure in front of her and it was Lillian’s silhouette.Madeline reached out her hand to grab Lillian and she finally grabbed a hand. However, she suddenly jolted awake and what came into her vision was Jeremy’s handsome face that was filled with worry.“Linnie, did you have a dream about Lily?” Jeremy approached her and asked gently.Madeline looked at her clenched fist and came back to her senses.The happiness she felt just earlier immediately turned into endless disappointment.“Yeah, I had a dream about her. I heard her talking to me too and she wanted me to go look for her.”“Linnie…”Knock, knock, knock.When Jeremy was about to ask Madeline more questions, they heard someone knocking on the door of the lab.The secretary pushed the door open and came in
Madeline and Jeremy’s expressions changed at the same time.Additionally, Madeline saw the confident smile on Carter’s face, and it seemed that he truly knew Lilian’s whereabouts.Her heart started to race. She wanted to know Lillia’s whereabouts. She desperately wanted to know, no matter how insignificant a clue.However, knowing Carter, how would he reveal to them this information so easily?Jeremy too shared the same thought.He looked at Carter, and his seductive lips curved into an intriguing smile.“I didn’t expect you to have such an understanding of my daughter’s location, Mr. Gray. In that case, I truly want to seek your counsel. Where is my daughter?”Carter smiled knowingly in turn. “Mr. Whitman, you’re a businessman. You should understand that to get something valuable, you’d need to offer something in exchange.”“What do you want?” Jeremy asked directly.“I want 50% of the Whitman Corporation’s share,” Carter said bluntly.Jeremy remained calm when he heard that.
“I’ll go alone. You should stay in Glendale.”“You want to go to F Country alone?” Jeremy was surprised. “Why?”Madeline looked in the direction where Carter had left. “Do you seriously think he deliberately came just to give us the invitation and then inform us about Lily?”“Of course, I don’t believe him, but we can’t afford to overlook any information.”“All the more reason you should stay here then.” Madeline had a firm look in her eyes. “It seemed like he wanted to send us away. He might be up to something in Glendale.”“Even so, it wouldn’t be as important as Lily.”“I know. I know you’re worried about Lily, but you have to listen to me this time, Jeremy,” Madeline insisted still. “I’ll go to F Country and find Lily. If Lily truly is with Fabian, I’ll try to convince Fabian.”“Do you think Fabian can still be rational?”Jeremy was worried, and he also remembered Carter’s words just now.“Carter has looked into our past in detail, and he also seemed to know about the matt
Jeremy took the invitation card and opened it to have a look.The interesting thing about this invitation was that it only indicated the time and location of the wedding, but not the names of the groom and bride.Jeremy intuitively felt that Carter cared not for the woman who was going to marry him, so the bride’s name was not on the card.In reality, it was just as Jeremy thought.On the other side, Cathy had been caring for Shirley, who had lost all feeling in her legs, every day.Although Cathy despised and looked down on Shirley for everything she had done in the past, Shirley was still Adam’s sister, and Cathy was sincerely grateful for Adam.She also knew that, deep down, Adam still cared about his sister too.Shirley had initially resisted intensely, but now, it seemed that she had grown used to it and started to accept Cathy’s care.Presently, as Cathy finished bathing Shirley, there came a shout from the delivery person downstairs.Cathy went down to receive the deliv
However, he felt that they were getting along quite well right now too.Loving someone did not necessarily mean getting them.The best scenario would be that both sides felt comfortable.“Adam, are you home?” At this moment, Shirley’s voice drifted from the room upstairs.Adam and Cathy shared a look. “I’ll go upstairs and take a look at her.”“Okay. I’ll prepare some breakfast for her.”“Okay.” Adam gently nodded and went upstairs after he saw Cathy turning around.Shirley had basically accepted the fact that she was now disfigured and crippled. She could not be considered to have fully accepted it, but she had no choice but to face this.When she saw Adam arriving, her attitude was still cold and disdainful, and it even had a hint of arrogance. “What were you muttering about with her downstairs? If there’s something to say, why couldn’t you just say it to my face?” Shirley asked in a questioning tone, and her expression was icy.Adam replied with the same cold attitude, “T
When she thought about the possibility of the wound on her face recovering one day, Shirley asked impatiently, “What is it? What do you want in exchange?”Adam’s eyes lit up. “The anti-toxoid test reagent for AXT69.”As he spoke, an evident change came over Shirley’s expression.The glow and expectation in her eyes disappeared as well.“There isn’t any,” Shirley answered simply.“There isn’t any? You’re the one who developed the poison, so how is it possible that you don’t have a way to cure the poison?” Adam found this suspicious. “If you truly want your face to recover, you’d best hand me the anti-toxoid test reagent now.”Shirley put on a bitter and miserable smile on her face. “If I don’t have the anti-toxoid test reagent, you won’t perform the surgery on me, is that right?”“Yes.”“Heh.” Shirley smirked sarcastically, leaning against the bed. “I guess I’ll be ugly for the rest of my life then.”“Even if you were to recover, you’ll still be ugly because your heart is black
“I truly have no idea who you’re talking about.”“...” Shirley knew that Adam was doing this on purpose. She genuinely wanted to know how both of her parents died back then, but she refused to utter the two words “mom” and “dad”.Feeling displeased, she changed the topic.“Adam, are you best friends with Jeremy and his wife? Why are you helping them so much? Not only have you been doing whatever it takes to develop the anti-toxoid test reagent for them, you’d even stayed by Ryan’s side as a spy.”“Even if they’re not my friends, I would still save them because I’m a doctor.”Adam answered, neither humble nor haughty, then questioned.“Now, it’s my turn to ask you. How did you know Ryan? Why were you developing a poison to harm Jeremy? Lana got hold of this poison back then, so does it mean you know Lana too? However, Ryan was the one manipulating Lana and Yorick this whole time. What on earth is the connection behind all of this?”Adam’s questions came one after another, momenta
