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
The driver nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel when he heard what Carter said.This did not sound like a conversation between lovers at all.He subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror to look at Carter, who had a cold and arrogant expression.He briefly felt Carter's gaze on him, so the driver quickly shifted his gaze away. He then heard Madeline's calm and composed voice.“What’s your goal? You can be straight to the point. You don't need to threaten me with my daughter again and again.”“Heh.” Carter chuckled coldly at Madeline's calm appearance. “Eveline, while you seem to be very indifferent, I know how anxious you truly are.”Madeline clenched her fists that were hidden in her sleeves slightly.She could not deny that Carter now fully grasped the worries in her heart.Carter caught sight of the melancholy flashing across Madeline's eyes, and a deeper smile appeared on Carter's lips.“Eveline, I told you I won't let my child die in vain. If you don't want your
“Carter, Carter! Carter, don't, don't hurt Lillian!”Click.Carter opened the door at the same time Shirley said that.Madeline, who had been waiting intently at the door, suddenly heard these words coming from the room, and her heart also skipped a beat.“Lily!”Madeline ran to the entrance quickly, and at this moment, she saw Lillian who was held in Carter's arms.“Mommy.”As soon as Lillian saw Madeline, she reflexively called out that word.Shirley was surprised when she heard that, and at the same time, she saw the sudden appearance of Madeline.“Eveline?”Shirley was extremely surprised, but she felt also a hint of pleasant surprise.She was surprised by Madeline’s appearance and pleasantly surprised to hear Lillian calling out to her mother.It turned out that Lillian's voice was so sweet and crisp.Additionally, when she heard Lillian calling out to her mother, it also made her inexplicably envious.When Lillian saw Madeline, her small body leaned hard toward Made
Shirley quickly came back to her senses. She inexplicably felt a sense of anxiety creeping into her heart when she saw Carter staring gloomily at the embracing Madeline and Lillian.“Eveline, why are you in F Country?” Shirley spoke deliberately, breaking the creepy atmosphere she was feeling.Madeline slightly loosened her arms around Lillian and looked at Shirley who was in the wheelchair.She had something to say to Shirley, but she decided to calm Lillian down first, then she slowly stood up while holding Lillian's hand, looked at Carter, and spoke calmly.“Carter, give me some time. I will not take Lily away by force. I also know that you will give me this opportunity, so don't worry, I won’t risk my daughter's safety.”Carter seemed dissatisfied, but he glanced at Shirley as if he had compromised.However, without speaking, Carter merely turned around silently, stepped out of the door, and closed the door.Madeline knew that Carter would be guarding the door, so it would b
