When Evan agreed, a happy and contented smile appeared slowly on Carter’s lips.This was an unexpected gain.He wanted to use Lillian to seek revenge on Jeremy, but now, Lillian became his most effective chess piece.“Before your father agrees to see me, don’t even think about seeing Lillian.”“Carter!” Fabian was a little mad.When Carter saw Fabian getting mad, the smile on his face widened.“What’s wrong? Are you angry? Be angry all you want, but this is something that you can’t change.”After Carter finished saying that with a smirk, he parted his legs to go downstairs.After taking two steps, he turned back to look at Evan.“I’ll be waiting for your answer. I hope you can give me a satisfying answer as soon as possible.”Evan felt that he had never met such an arrogant person before. However, he had no choice so he could only allow Carter to behave so arrogantly.Looking at Carter’s carefree back figure, Fabian lifted his hand angrily and slammed it on the wall.Madeli
However, Madeline was looking at him even more apologetically. “Yes, Yorick and Lana did a lot of things that went against human nature, morals, and even the law. I hated Lana. You can even say that I detested her. That’s why I thought she got what she deserved. I also thought that Yorick should be executed for his crime, but I neglected the fact that they are your family.”When Madeline said this, Fabian slowly understood why Madeline wanted to apologize. “I’m sorry. I only thought about my family and my feelings this whole time, but I didn’t think about your feelings.”Upon hearing this, Fabian frowned. It seemed that moisture appeared in his eyes without his realization.“I kept saying that I’m your best friend, but I am not qualified at all. As a friend, I should’ve been more like Evan. I should’ve stood in your shoes and considered your feelings.“I suddenly realize why you feel so much hatred for me and Jeremy. We don’t deserve a friend like you at all.”Madeline smiled as s
“Actually, I didn’t want to be your friend after that, and I didn’t want to have any contact with Jeremy.” Fabian told her the truth.This shocked Madeline.It seemed that Fabian had rejected them at the beginning.“But why did you still keep in contact with us after that?” Madeline asked.Unhesitatingly, Fabian answered, “It’s because of one person.”Madeline quickly remembered that pure and adorable face. “Because of Lily?”Fabian smiled and nodded. “Lily is such a delightful child.”Madeline smiled upon hearing that, but after that, she felt her heart aching.“Unfortunately, my precious daughter always gets into some horrible situations.”“But I still believe no matter what trouble she’d face, Lily could always find a way to safety.” Fabian was very confident.Madeline felt the same way, and she hoped so too.“Perhaps, inexorably, you and Lily are connected by fate. Otherwise, what are the odds for your bone marrow matching Lily’s?”Fabian did not deny it. In fact, he ag
Upon hearing Fabian's words, Madeline's face changed, and her heartstrings tightened again.She knew that it would not be easy for Lillian's physical indicators to be restored to what it was now. If there were any more accidents and mistakes, as Lillian’s mother, she really could not bear it, and she also did not know how to give Lillian a better treatment.However, this kind of thing could not be forced.Both Fabian and Evan observed that Madeline's expression had become tense.Although she did not say anything, they all understood how flustered Madeline was as a mother at this moment.“I have a way to bluff Carter temporarily,” Fabian said, after thinking for a while.Madeline came back to her senses. “I think this is he only thing we can do now.”“Do you know what I'm talking about?” Fabian looked at Madeline somewhat unexpectedly.Madeline smiled. “I think I know.”Evan was at a loss as he listened to this conversation. “What exactly are you talking about?”“Evan.” Madeli
“Aren’t you? Didn’t you abduct Lily to retaliate against her father?” Shirley said coldly without raising her head.Carter knew Shirley would think of him this way, so he did not even bother explaining.“You will soon know the true purpose of me bringing you to F Country.”After Carter finished speaking solemnly, he lowered his eyes and turned his attention to Lillian who was eating an apple.“The enemy's daughter is eating apples so happily, while my child could only eat dust. Hmph!” Carter sneered and suddenly, he reached out and pushed the fruit bowl in front of Lillian away.With a clang, the fruit bowl fell on the plush carpet.Lillian was obviously taken aback by Carter's behavior.She stared blankly at Carter, who was throwing a tantrum, with her big, pure, and clean eyes.Upon seeing this, Shirley immediately scolded Carter, “Carter, you are a grown man. There are many ways to vent any dissatisfaction in your heart and yet you lose your temper with such a small child.”
The more Fabian talked about that, the brighter the smile on his face. At the same time, there were also some looks of distress on his face.“She should be innocent at this age. I don't want her to be so sensible.”Madeline understood what Fabian meant. She felt the same way in her heart.A child should be innocent and unaffected at their age, but Jack and Lily were already so sensible at such a young age.Madeline sighed silently. Her heart was throbbing, and she felt a little pain.“You should rest early. I'll go back to my room first. I'll take you to Evan's house tomorrow morning.”“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. She looked at Fabian's back and she wanted to thank him again, but she felt that it would a little redundant.After Fabian had left, Madeline made a video call to Jeremy.Jeremy was surprised to learn that Madeline was presently at Fabian's house.“Did he agree to let you see Lily?” the man in the video asked in shock as he gently furrowed his bushy eyebrows.Madeline s
As soon as Fabian had finished complaining, they heard a jingle from downstairs of the coffee shop.It was the sound of wind chimes when the door opened.The cafe was closed today, so Carter was the only one who would enter the store at this time.Sure enough, they heard the waiter's polite voice in the next second, “Mr. Gray, you are here. The boss and his friends are already waiting for you upstairs. What would you like to drink?”Carter turned a deaf ear and, without even sparing a glance at the waiter out of the corner of his eye, walked toward the stairs on his own.Carter seemed to frown in dissatisfaction when he saw that Madeline and Fabian were also there on the second floor.“Why are you here too?”Fabian stood up suddenly, his expression colder than Carter’s.“Carter, Professor Laker whom you want to see is already here. We have done what you asked for, so I hope you can also fulfill your promise.”“Heh.” Carter sneered indifferently. After that, he walked past Made
Madeline certainly believed that Fabian had such a determination, and she could see Fabian's unique care and love for Lily.Approximately half an hour later, Madeline finally heard movement at the stairs.Carter and Evan's father seemed to have finished talking.The trio stood up simultaneously and saw Carter taking the lead as he came down the stairs.“Carter.” Madeline was the first to stop Carter.“Even if you don’t release Lily for the time being, you should at least let me see her first. I just want to know how my daughter is now.”Carter was unmoved by what Madeline said. “The specific treatment plan isn’t out yet, so you won’t see your daughter for the time being.”“Carter, this is too much. You should leave some room for maneuver no matter what you do. Don't you think this will help your injured female friend?”Fabian said in a dull tone, but his words also bore threats.Carter frowned and then smiled.“Okay, I’ll let you meet her, but just you.”Carter's eyes locked
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
