After Fabian expressed his displeasure to the person on the phone, he was ready to disconnect the call. At this moment, a man’s deep voice came through the line.“Don't forget, Fabian. If I hadn’t told you the truth, you'd still be kept in the dark by Jeremy and Madeline.”At the mention of this, Fabian's fingers tightened around the phone.“You had your own intentions when you told me all of this. Did you think I'd believe that you were being kind?” Fabian retorted with displeasure.“Just get to the point and tell me what your intentions are. I don't want to hear from you again.”Fabian made his stand clear. A few seconds later, the man’s confident voice came through the line."I know Jeremy and Eveline are still in F Country. What I'd like to know is, what's Eveline's condition right now?"As the voice fell away, the air around Fabian went silent, and then, casually, Fabian said, “She’s doing well. She's with her husband. They're still searching for their daughter.”“She'
“Also, she's in a much better condition than you imagine.”Jeremy looked at Fabian in disbelief as Fabian spoke that way.“Fabian, so it really was you who took Lilian, yet you denied it to Linnie before.”Fabian, instead of arguing, readily admitted, “Yes, I took Lilian, and I’m still not returning her to you.”Jeremy was baffled when he heard this. "Fabian, what exactly do you want?"Fabian shrugged his shoulders, appearing nonchalant."I want to provide medical treatment for your daughter."After listening to Fabian's reply, Jeremy was unsure of how to react, then he heard Fabian speak, with emphasis, in a serious tone.“Jeremy, even if I return Lilian to you, you wouldn't be able to provide her with the best treatment, but I can.“So, you should bring Eveline back to Glendale first. Lilian will stay with me and get the best treatment. I know it isn't convenient for Eveline to move around now. I'll arrange a plane to Glendale for both of you.”Fabian's tone was firm.Jere
At the sight of Carter, Ada's face paled, and she closed her mouth in panic.Carter's deep, cold eyes swept over Ada's face before settling on Shirley's."You're awake."Indifferent, Shirley chuckled. "Mr. Gray, you have a good sight. You're right. I'm awake.""..." Carter, aware that Shirley was deliberately mocking him, was not interested in arguing with her. "Since you’re awake, get out of bed. We'll be going to the hospital for a full examination shortly."After speaking, Carter threw a glance at Ada and left.Ada knew that Carter was reminding her to attend to Shirley’s needs as Shirley got out of bed.Shirley had not noticed Carter’s look at Ada, but she did feel that Ada's attitude had improved after Carter left. Ada had even assigned a servant to bathe Shirley and change her clothes. In the end, Ada even smiled when asking Shirley for her breakfast preference.While she found all this rather odd, Shirley accepted it nonchalantly.After breakfast, Shirley sat in Ca
Shirley had intentionally spoken those words in hope that Carter would stop bringing her for medical examinations, but Carter took her word seriously. Across town, Adam, who had noticed that Shirley was missing, spent two consecutive days searching for her. Watching him, Cathy felt conflicted.It turned out that Shirley had made prior arrangements before she left for the Gray Manor.She left Adam a note saying that she left on her own because she was no longer interested in staying with Adam and she did not want to see him again.In reality, however, she had asked Cathy for assistance before leaving the house. As Cathy watched the distressed Adam searching everywhere for Shirley, her heart was unsettled.Following two days of mental struggle, Cathy finally decided to confess."Adam, I'm really sorry. I was the one who brought Shirley out."Adam was about to leave the house in search of Shirley again when he heard Cathy's words. He immediately turned around and rushed up t
A surprised look flashed on Carter's face when he heard Adam's words, but it disappeared as quickly.Carter smiled and, in a voice tinged with mockery, responded, "It appears that Dr. Brown doesn't merely sit in the clinic and conduct experiments; he also studies other people's private matters.""I'm completely uninterested in your private matters. I just happened to come across some unethical matters by chance and paid some attention to them." Carter smiled faintly, but this time, his smile did not reach his eyes.Ten minutes later, the car pulled into the Gray Manor.Adam got out of the car and rushed toward the hallway with Cathy following him closely.While Adam felt anxious at that moment, Cathy was feeling uneasy and guilty as well.Perhaps she should not have allowed Shirley to stay back the other day. If anything happened to Shirley, she could hardly avoid the blame.However, when Cathy and Adam hastily barged into the hallway, they were surprised to find Shirley leis
The bodyguards understood. They immediately stepped forward and yanked Adam away with brute force.Adam had no one at his disposal, so he raised his fist and punched one of the bodyguards.The bodyguard missed it and got hit by Adam. Disgruntled, the bodyguard raised his hand, intending to return the punch.At this sudden burst of fury, Shirley shouted for them to stop. "Don't you dare hit him!"The bodyguard halted reactively the second Shirley spoke. Adam was taken aback by Shirley's behavior, but he had no time to reflect on it. He promptly avoided another bodyguard and continued to push Shirley's wheelchair. Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately chased after them, trying to stop Adam."Don't touch him!" Shirley shouted again for them to stop. She started to feel slightly agitated. Glaring at Carter, she said hurriedly, "Carter, tell your people to stay away from them. I won't leave, but you'll have to tell them to go."Carter calmly met Shirley's anxious gaze
When Adam heard those words, he could not help but feel ridiculed. "Why would I share the same goal with someone like you?""Are you certain?" Carter threw the question back with a faint smile. "Wouldn't you want to fix the scar on your sister's face? Wouldn't you want to see her stand up again one day?"At the mention of this, Adam briefly fell into an inattentive state.Frankly, he had not expected Carter to bring him here for this reason.Cathy was taken by surprise as well, but it also seemed reasonable to her.Back then, she had sensed that Carter felt something for Shirley, but the emotions were buried deep within him.Shirley, however, was unaware of the reasons behind Carter's decision in bringing Adam and Cathy to the Gray Manor. Shirley was now settled in her room, contemplating returning downstairs to take a look when Ada entered.When Ada saw Shirley's worried expression, Ada smiled to herself, then sent the two servants out.Shirley truly did not want to see Ada,
"Enough of this useless talk," Shirley interrupted her, "just stay as far away from me as possible. You'd better not have any ideas about the child in my womb. Otherwise, I'll let you have a taste of what it's like to lose a limb or be disfigured.”"How dare you threaten me?" Ada was enraged; her expression turned dark and unsightly. “Do you think you can do whatever you want since you're pregnant with Carter’s child? I'm tell you, Shirley. If I wanted to kill that vile spawn in your womb, I won't even need to lift a finger. Just you wait!”Ada warned Shirley furiously. Ada was about to turn around to leave, but Camille was standing at the door of the bedroom."..." Ada’s face paled in a flash. She was at a loss as she watched Camille walk into the room slowly. "Mom."Camille shot a look of disgust at Ada. "What now? Since you don't have to lift a finger yourself, whose hands do you plan to use to murder my grandson? Your mother's?""..." Ada bit her lip upon hearing this. Althoug
