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
Jeremy swiftly looked up and saw Evan walking in.“You’re Fabian’s friend? Are you a doctor?” Jeremy slowly got up. “You must have a way to contact Fabian. Where is he?”Without answering Jeremy’s question, Evan walked up to Jeremy, turned on his phone, and pointed at the screen.“Is this the anti-toxoid test reagent you mentioned?” Evan showed Jeremy the picture.Jeremy’s gaze immediately flitted over, and his eyes instantly lit up once he saw the picture.“That’s it. Where did the picture come from?”“Fab just sent the picture to me.”“Fabian?”Evan nodded. “He just found the anti-toxoid test reagent in your wife’s bag, and he’s driving over here with it now.”When Jeremy heard that, his heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, partially settled.“How long until Fabian arrives?” Jeremy felt impatient. He was worried that Madeline would wake up before Fabian arrived. He was even more worried that her agony would be as bad as it had been last night.Evan glanced at the ti
“…”Jeremy stuttered; his words stuck in his throat.Jeremy trembled before the look in Madeline’s eyes which were staring upon him. "Linnie, I…""Linnie?" Madeline repeated the word and suddenly let out a soft but cold chuckle. "What's wrong with you? The man who I love most but hates me most is now calling me Linnie."Madeline giggled and slowly got up.Jeremy wanted to head over to support her but was rejected disdainfully by Madeline.He could tell that Madeline was not in her right mind now as her reddened eyes sparkled, contrasting her unusually pale face.Madeline, supporting herself with one hand, sat up on the bed, and her other hand suddenly went to her chest.She closed her eyes and breathed strenuously.The normal rhythm of her breathing and heartbeat were disrupted."Linnie, would you please give me some time and hear me out?" Jeremy pleaded with a meek tone.Madeline’s cool and composed attitude before him made him recall her vengeful look back then.He was
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
