In Glendale.At this moment, Jeremy was accompanying his youngest son, who was learning to walk, when suddenly, he received a call from Fabian.He did not see it wrongly as his phone screen had clearly displayed Fabian's name.Fabian had long ago blacklisted his number. The sudden call from Fabian now gave Jeremy an uneasy feeling.He had this feeling earlier because when he had phoned Madeline, no one picked up his calls.Currently, Fabian took the initiative to call him. Jeremy was certain that something must have happened to Madeline.Jeremy picked up the call without hesitation, and immediately heard Fabian's deep voice from the other side of the call."Does your wife have any disease?"Hearing this made Jeremy think of the poison in Madeline's body.‘The fourth stage of the poison must have flared up!'"Fabian, what happened to Linnie? Tell me quickly!" Jeremy pressed Fabian with questions. Without him realizing it, his grip became stronger.Pudding, who was being held
Fabian hung up the call and immediately called Evan."Do me a favor and see whether there's a vial of anti-toxoid test reagent on Madeline. If there is one, immediately inject her with it. You're a doctor so the injection should be a small matter to you. Hurry."Fabian immediately hung up, not giving Evan any opportunity to reject him.Naturally, as a doctor, Evan would not reject such a request.However, he glanced at Madeline, who had been injected with a tranquilizer, and could not help but find this suspicious.'Would this be inappropriate?'However, it was a doctor's job to save lives. Be it a pediatrician or some other specialist, they share the same responsibility.He pulled the blanket away and searched through Madeline's clothing, but he did not manage to find the anti-toxoid test reagent that Fabian mentioned.He then quickly called Fabian, who was already rushing to the hospital.After arriving at the hospital, Fabian meticulously searched through all the pockets on
Jeremy's gaze then fell upon the little window on the door of the ward.He looked into the ward and saw Madeline's thin back.Jeremy felt a pinch in his heart and immediately opened the door of the ward."A word of advice."Fabian's voice came from behind Jeremy."She might be agitated, and she also might not be able to recognize you. Best be mentally prepared."After hearing Fabian's so-called advice, Jeremy gently closed the door.He looked at Madeline, who was hugging her legs, curled up at the edge of the bed, as he slowly made his way toward her."It's not me. I really didn't do such a thing. Jeremy, why won't you believe me…"When Jeremy was halfway toward her, he suddenly heard Madeline muttering such a comment.The words Madeline had spoken were like a sharp sword piercing straight into his heart.His footsteps that were getting closer to her suddenly stopped on their own accord as he kept hearing Madeline muttering to herself continuously."You're the one who said
"You get the hell out of here now. Go back and tell Meredith that no matter what happens, I'll not let her have her way!"Madeline rejected stubbornly and forcefully.She reached out her hands again to chase Jeremy away. "Get lost." Naturally, Jeremy would not leave. He made his way up to Madeline and grabbed her hand that was pointing at the entrance. In the next second, he held onto her in his arms tightly."Linnie, I’m not going anywhere. I want to keep you company."Madeline’s expression abruptly changed at the sudden hug.She used all her strength to free herself from Jeremy's arms but failed."You're still trying to impersonate Jeremy! Let go of me now! Let go!"In the face of Madeline's struggle, Jeremy silently endured the pain and continued comforting her gently.“Linnie, I'm Jeremy. I really am Jeremy. It's my fault. I know what I did was wrong."Jeremy kept apologizing but Madeline was still emotionally agitated.When Madeline realized that Jeremy did not intend
Fabian’s footsteps came to a halt, but he did not turn around.As he heard Jeremy’s footsteps close in, he calmly stood in place.“Fabian, did you really not find the anti-toxoid test reagent on Linnie?”“What are you implying, Mr. Whitman? Are you accusing me of intentionally choosing not to save your wife?” Fabian asked with a faint smile.“I just want to know if you’ve looked in detail.”Jeremy did not intend to argue with Fabian. All he wanted now was to find the anti-toxoid test reagent that could help ease Madeline’s condition.It had taken a lot of effort to ‘steal’ the vial anti-toxoid test reagent from Carter. In this current situation, that vial was the only thing that could help Madeline.“My friend and I have rifled through all her pockets and places where she could hide things, but we didn’t find the anti-toxoid test reagent that you mentioned,” Fabian replied considerably patiently.“How could that be?” Jeremy could not get his head around the idea. “Linnie promis
He felt like he had seen this man somewhere before.‘Could this man be a doctor too?’Jeremy returned to the hospital room in which Madeline was still in deep sleep.When he saw how haggard her complexion was, Jeremy sighed softly, feeling guilty.‘Linnie, if I hadn’t brought you this nightmare, then perhaps you wouldn’t have to suffer so painfully at the poison’s flare-up.‘I’m the cause of your pain.’Jeremy leaned over to kiss between Madeline’s brows, then rifled through her pockets and jacket. There was indeed no anti-toxoid test reagent.From Fabian’s reaction, the man did not seem like he was lying.‘Where could the anti-toxoid test reagent be?’Jeremy gave it some thought, then suddenly looked around the room.‘Her purse.’Madeline’s purse and phone were nowhere to be found.He immediately turned around and pulled out his phone to call Fabian as he went in the direction Fabian had left, chasing after him.However, Fabian did not pick up his call. After declining th
When he heard, Fabian’s expression immediately changed.His long legs strode forth and, as quick as lightning, arrived at Lillian’s bedroom.“Lily.”He called her name out nervously.As he entered the room, he realized that the atmosphere inside was not as he expected.Lillian was not crying, and the room was decorated to look like the venue of a birthday party.A maid in the room saw Fabian return and smiled brightly as she wished, “Happy birthday, Young Master Fabian.”‘Birthday?’Fabian was dazed. ‘Is it my birthday today?’The last time he celebrated his birthday was before Yorick died.He had long forgotten what it felt like to celebrate his birthday.Now, he watched as Lillian walked over to him with a smile, holding a small four-inch shortcake in her hands.She looked like an innocent angel who was now returning him the happiness he had lost a long time ago.Lillian smiled softly. Despite her inability to speak, her eyes already conveyed a very clear message.Fabia
However, in Fabian’s eyes, this drawing was priceless.The cake even had the three words, “Happy Birthday, Fab.”What beautiful lettering.Fabian felt a delicate flower gradually blooming in his heart, and he looked at Lillian’s eyes, which shone brightly like a starry night.“Lily, how about we eat the cake together?” Fabian invited with a smile. “You can only eat a little, though.”Lillian pursed her lips into a soft smile then nodded.In the quiet night, Fabian held the plate in one hand as he fed Lillian bite by bite.Lillian smiled gleefully. Under the warm lighting of the room, she resembled a little fairy whose smile revealed sweet dimples that seemed to be able to heal Fabian.“I’ll take care of you until you’ve completely recovered, Lily. If you’re still willing when the time comes, I can continue taking care of you after that.”Fabian promised and reached out to ruffle the top of Lillian’s head, but at the thought of her not having a strand of hair on her head, he co
