Upon seeing the lost look in the little princess’s eyes, Madeline's heart also started to ache.“Good girl, Lily. Fab will be back soon.”Lillian raised her eyes to meet Madeline's gentle gaze as if asking Madeline if it was true.Madeline understood what the little princess meant and firmly promised, “I promise that Fab will definitely come back.”When Lillian heard this, the look of loss in Lillian's eyes was no longer as intense.After returning to her seat, Lillian sat there obediently the whole time.Madeline and Jeremy could see that the child was waiting for Fabian.They started to recall the first meeting between Fabian and Lillian. After Fabian had rescued the ignorant Lily from Felipe, the two formed a subtle bond.Although Fabian had always been frivolous, somehow, he gradually became more stable and mature.He had been very good to Lily. Extraordinarily good.He even had a fall-out with Lana because of Lily. Of course, this was also because he was a righteous pers
The person walked over purposefully, and it seemed that he knew them.Madeline then quickly realized that this man knew Evan.He respectfully gave Evan a polite smile before facing Madeline and Jeremy.“Are you Mr. and Mrs. Whitman?” the man asked politely.Madeline and Jeremy nodded. “And you are?”“He is Fab's assistant,” Evan said, answering for the man.“Fabian's assistant?” Madeline wondered, then it was as if she gradually understood something. “Is Fabian not coming?”The man smiled and nodded. “Mr. Johnson suddenly has something important to deal with, so he can’t leave for the time being. He asked me to bring Miss Lily's things over, and they’re all in the car. Could I trouble Mr. and Mrs. Whitman to follow me and take them?”After listening to the man's explanation, Madeline and Jeremy also understood. They then led Lillian out of the coffee shop together.As they moved the things, Evan stood by and called out to the assistant Fabian had sent.“Fab doesn't have somet
“How can you carry three suitcases by yourself? Let me take one.” Without speaking further, Madeline carried the black box in one hand and the suitcase in the other.“Lily, come to me now. We’ll go back to the hotel together.”Lillian heard Madeline calling out to her, but the little cutie was still looking in the direction Evan had driven away for a while before she turned to follow behind Madeline.Of course, Madeline and Jeremy could sense how Lillian felt, but neither of them spoke.After returning to the hotel, Madeline placed the little black box on the bed and called out to Lillian.“Lily, this is a gift from Fabian. Let’s see what's inside.”Lillian blinked her big beautiful eyes and stretched out her small hand to pull the ribbon apart. Madeline then helped to open the box.After opening it, Madeline felt a bright light flashing into her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that inside the box was a dazzling crown studded with rhinestones.Lillian could not spe
Fabian asked directly. When he saw the gift box that had been returned, his eyes were laced with disappointment and dissatisfaction. Jeremy lifted the corner of his lips into a soft smile and said, “Fabian, I can understand how you felt when you gifted this to Lily, but it’s too expensive.”“Too expensive?” Fabian was obviously confused by this word, he then laughed. “The number one rich man in Glendale just told me that my gift is too expensive.”Jeremy understood what Fabian meant, and he still had a soft smile on his face. “My family background has nothing to do with whether the present is expensive or not. Fabian, I know how you feel about Lily, and so does Linnie, but I don’t think this is suitable for Lily,” Jeremy still rejected him. Fabian nodded thoughtfully. “You should go, then.”“I was going to leave, but I still want to formally thank you.”Fabian quickly replied, “I have received it. Jeremy, you can go now.”“Alright.” Jeremy did not speak further. When he turn
However, Madeline saw that Lillian's little hand had more pink spots than before.It seemed that this was not a typical skin disease.Not long after, Jeremy also arrived.Upon seeing the small pink spots on Lillian's small hands and arms, Jeremy furrowed his brows.“Is it because of leukemia?” Jeremy guessed, but he did not have an accurate answer.Madeline also furrowed her charming eyebrows. “There won’t be many dermatology clinics opened in hospitals at night, Jeremy. What do you think we should do now?”“Go find Lily's attending doctor.”“You mean Evan?” Presently, Madeline had a feeling that only Evan could help them solve their problems.“Let's go back to the hotel first. I left Evan's business card in the hotel, so I have to go back first.”“That wouldn’t be necessary.” Fabian's voice suddenly came from one side.Madeline and Jeremy turned their heads in surprise and saw Fabian walking towards them with a worried expression.As soon as Lillian saw Fabian, she squirmed
Upon hearing what Carter said, Jeremy's sharp brows suddenly raised.He looked at the cutie in Fabian's arms at the moment.When they saw Jeremy’s gaze and action, Madeline and Fabian simultaneously felt that something must be wrong.Amidst their puzzlement, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to hang up.Madeline walked to Jeremy's side. “Jeremy, who was that? Did something happen?”Jeremy lowered his eyes and caught sight of the worry in Madeline's eyes. At that moment, he hesitated whether he should tell her or not.Madeline also noticed Jeremy's peculiar behavior, so she asked, “Jeremy, what’s the matter?”Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry too much, but he figured this was how so many misunderstandings between them were caused in the past, so this time, he no longer chose to hide it.“The pink spots on Lily's body aren’t from skin diseases. They’re manmade,” Jeremy explained to Madeline in a calm tone, but his brows were twisted into a knot.“What?”“Manma
“Lily is very dependent on you.” Jeremy's eyes were very solemn. “Don't you want to take care of Lily? Prove it to me now. Prove that you can take good care of my daughter so that I can leave my baby girl with you without worry.”After hearing what Jeremy said, Fabian seemed stunned.Before he could react, Jeremy walked up to him, bowed his head, and kissed Lily's cheek.“Lily, Mommy and I need to take care of some business. We’ll come to pick you up later. Stay here with Fab obediently and listen to everything he says, okay?”Lillian understood that Madeline and Jeremy were leaving, so she furrowed her cute little brows in disappointment.“Daddy.” Her little cherry blossom mouth moved, and she called out to her father softly. At the same time, there was a tinge of loneliness in her eyes.Concordant with Jeremy, Madeline smiled lovingly at Lillian.“Lily, Daddy and I will come to take you home once we’re done with the business, so be a good girl and stay with Fab, okay?”Being
After hearing this, Madeline nodded silently.She clenched her fingers restlessly, her eyes filled with worry.“Last night, he told me that he’d think of a countermeasure before going to meet Carter, but I woke up just now and found that he was no longer in the room. I can’t call him as well.”As Madeline spoke, she felt her heart beating more frantically.“I suspect that Jeremy has already met Carter and something bad may have happened.”“Don't think too much, I'll take you there first. Maybe you can’t call him because the place he’s at has no signal.” Fabian soothed and hoped that Madeline would stop overthinking.Madeline certainly hoped that Jeremy was presently safe, but this uneasy heartbeat seemed to be telling her that Jeremy was not safe.It took about ten minutes by car to reach the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.The sight of the big house in front of her triggered Madeline’s memory.The last time she had been here was because Jeremy thought that Lillian
