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
Shirley looked at Lillian curiously, and after a while, she saw Lillian hand her the written note.Shirley picked it up and saw that the words “Thank you” were written on it. Thank you.Shirley did not know if she should laugh or cry.She had done nothing good in her whole life, and when she repented, she was already crippled.Now that someone was thanking her, she suddenly felt that she was not a good-for-nothing. At least, she was still useful.Although Fabian had no evidence to prove that Carter took Lillian away, he was basically certain that this was the case.Additionally, based on the man’s figure shown in the car rental’s surveillance, the only person with this outline and figure who Fabian could recall was Carter.However, Fabian already had a broad social circle in Country F. It would be impossible for Fabian to be unable to find Carter.What worried him most was Lillian's body.Although Lillian had a successful bone marrow transplant, she was still young, and her
