His gaze darkened, and he turned back to the rented car.Approximately twenty minutes later, Carter saw Fabian carrying Lillian back into the car.His car was parked behind Fabian's car so that he could easily observe Fabian and Lillian's movements.After a while, Fabian started the car and Carter followed behind.He saw Fabian leading Lillian into a toy store that sold Barbie dolls. They then went to sit at a dessert shop for a while before they finally went back to the villa.After a few days of observation, Carter realized that this was the sequence in which Fabian took Lillian out of the house every day.As for Carter, he had completely figured the sequence out.What Shirley could not figure out was what Carter was doing when he went out at such a time every day.Intentional or otherwise, she had probed and asked him before. However, Carter, who evidently did not want to tell her, would muddle over the topic or change the subject each time she asked.The more Carter behave
Dumbfounded, Shirley stared at what Carter was doing in disbelief.‘Had he been following that car just to abduct that little girl?‘But who was that little girl?’During her moment of shock, Shirley saw Carter quickly starting the car to drive away.At that moment, Fabian quickly ran out of the dessert shop.He looked anxious, and his eyes were filled with worry.Shirley did not know Fabian, but she could see how uneasy and sick with worry he was at the moment.“Driver, please start driving,” Shirley told the driver who was looking at his phone.The driver looked out of the window and noticed the car just now was gone.“Miss, where would you like to go now? Are we going to follow the car just now?” the driver asked politely.Shirley shook his head. “No need. I saw the person in the car and he’s not my friend. I made a mistake. Please take me back to where you picked me up.”“Alright,” the driver answered and started the car quickly.Shirley was very distracted on the way b
‘Or is she afraid to talk when she sees strangers?’She thought in her heart. Looking at Lillian's face again, she seemed to see the shadows of Madeline and Jeremy from her facial features and eyes.Shirley was taken aback. Was this Jeremy and Madeline’s child?As Shirley wondered about this, Carter slammed the door shut.He obviously would not let Lillian go.“Is this Jeremy and Eveline’s daughter?” Shirley voiced the doubt in her heart.Carter paused when he heard the words. He said nothing, answering Shirley's question with silence.Shirley also instantly understood Carter's silence.She looked at Lillian and then she chuckled.“So, this was why you insisted on coming to F Country.”Upon hearing Shirley's words, Carter denied without hesitation.“No.”“No?” Shirley chuckled again. “Carter, you still want to have your revenge and take action against Jeremy, don't you? You always think that Jeremy and Eveline are the reason you’re like this today, don’t you?”The moment s
Shirley paused. She did not know what the card Lillian handed her was.She slowly reached out to take the card from Lillian’s small hand.Shirley brought it before her and looked, then realized that it was a card with Lillian’s personal information.Lilian’s details, as well as her health condition, were written on it along with her current address. With this, Shirley was certain that Lillian was mute and could not speak. As such, if Lillian were lost, she would hope that a kind person would be able to send her home.However, this was useless in this current situation.Why would Carter send Lillian back?Carter, who also noticed the card Lillian handed to Shirley, walked over and took the card from Shirley’s hand.After taking a look, the corners of his lips lifted into a cold and disdainful smirk.He simply tossed the card into the bin and turned around coldly.Lillian furrowed her adorable eyebrows and turned to walk to the bin. After she picked up the card, she carefully
One had to remember that Lillian was not a normal healthy child.Her leukemia was still in the recovery stage, so if the recovery did not go well, relapse would be very likely.He had no idea who was the man in black who took Lillian from under his nose.However, he knew that this man was an ordinary kidnapper because he came only for Lillian.While Fabian was at a loss, a servant suddenly rushed in.He thought that there was news from Lillian, but he was surprised to see Madeline walk in from the hallway.“Eveline?” Fabian was surprised.Did Madeline know that Lillian was kidnapped?No.That was impossible.Lillian only went missing a few hours ago, and at that time Madeline should have been on the plane, so it would have been impossible for her to have arrived so soon.“It's me.” Madeline stepped forward and walked up to Fabian. “I’m sorry for coming here uninvited and disturb you, Mr. Johnson. I came to see my daughter.”Madeline explained her intentions directly.She s
Madeline vaguely heard Lillian’s name, so she quickly turned and walked downstairs.Fabian seemed to hear Madeline's footsteps coming downstairs and he deliberately walked towards the door, avoiding Madeline.Noticing Fabian’s move, Madeline hurried to catch up, but when she walked up to Fabian, he had just hung up the phone.“Fabian, who were you on the call with? Is it related to Lily? Where have you taken Lily?”Madeline's face was full of worry as she questioned, “Fabian, tell me!”Fabian chuckled nonchalantly in the face of Madeline's anxious questioning.“Eveline, don't waste time and energy. I won't tell you where Lillian is.”Fabian's answer was extraordinarily cold and inhumane.Madeline knew that he was acting like this because of prejudice against herself and Jeremy.Madeline simultaneously felt helpless and very regretful.“Fabian, when we first met, you were a positive, unruly, and energetic boy who strived to improve yourself. I’d thought we would always be good
“Where is the car now? Alright, I’ll head over right now.”Fabian said this in reply and hurriedly drove out. A while later, he arrived at the car rental. The staff took Fabian to one of the cars. “Mr. Johnson, is this the car you’re looking for?”Fabian had looked at the surveillance footage multiple times, so he was certain that this was the car that the man who abducted Lillian drove. “That’s right. Do you have the contact of the person who rented this car?” Fabian asked urgently. The staff nodded and then handed Fabian the information of the person who rented the car. However, Fabian tried calling the number and found that this number did not exist. That meant this person had already planned for this. “When did the person return the car? What does he look like?”“Half an hour ago. He’s a tall and thin man completely dressed in black. He had a mask and a scarf on, so I couldn’t see how he looked.”“Get me the security footage,” Fabian ordered the staff, and the sta
Carter’s action was devoid of tenderness. He even looked a little brutal.After Lillian was pushed away, she looked at Carter with a look of loss on her face.Carter’s gaze darkened. “What are you looking at, huh? You can’t speak, so do your ears also not work? I said there’s none for you, don’t you understand?”“Carter.” Shirley could not stand Carter’s attitude. “Carter, are you sick in the head? You’re a grown man and you’re bullying a little girl?”Carter scoffed nonchalantly when he heard Shirley scolding him.“It’s her fault that she’s Jeremy and Eveline’s child. You can’t blame me for that.”After saying that disdainfully, he turned around and pushed Shirley’s wheelchair to the dining room.Lillian sat on the sofa alone and silently stared at Carter and Shirley’s back.She lifted her hand to touch her flat stomach.‘Yeah, I’m a little hungry.‘Usually, Fabian will eat dinner with me at this time.‘But now, I can only go hungry.’Lillian blinked her clear, big eyes an
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
