Carter glared at Jeremy grudgingly, knowing that he could no longer turn back.Shirley, who was watching this scene unfold, was relieved instead.She truly did not want to see Carter making mistakes again and again. This was the best outcome.When she saw that Carter was about to be taken away, Shirley rolled the wheels of her wheelchair with all her strength to follow him.Carter was resentful at this moment, but he could not resist.Eventually, his hateful eyes fell on Shirley, and the hatred in his eyes instantly dissipated, turning into a touch of warmth and tenderness.“Stop following me,” Carter shouted to Shirley who was tailing him, his eyes filled with a rare touch of warmth.“You should go with them and slowly forget about me.”When he said this, it seemed that a painful emotion had flashed across Carter's eyes.“Shirley, we’re destined to be separated. I hope you can live a good life.”After saying this, Carter went into the car that would detain him without lookin
At the mention of this, Madeline and Jeremy looked at each other and smiled tacitly.“Actually, we nearly drowned.” Madeline sighed with a smile and then recalled the scene.At the time, the water level was slowly rising, and only when the water level reached below her waist did Madeline think of a way to save herself.“Jeremy, do you still have the strength? I should be able to reach the edge of the pool if I stand on your shoulders.”Jeremy seemed to realize this too, “I can do it, Linnie.”He said firmly and slowly squatted in front of Madeline. Since their clothes were getting wet, Madeline felt that her weight had increased a lot.Moreover, Jeremy had been in the water for two days, so she was worried that his legs would not be able to support her weight.Sure enough, as soon as she crawled on his back, she felt Jeremy’s legs buckled out of exhaustion.She stopped moving immediately and looked at him worriedly. “Jeremy, are your legs very weak now?”Jeremy did not hide it
Madeline said and threw the chair into the water. Jeremy stood up strenuously and brought the chair to the edge of the pool near Madeline and stepped on it.Madeline reached out and grabbed Jeremy's hand tightly.“Jeremy!”“Linnie, my legs are a bit weak. Why don't you go out and call someone first?”“I’d like to go out and call for someone, but there isn’t anyone around. I’m afraid that if I went too far, something bad would happen to you. I can't leave here. I can't let you disappear from my sight!”Madeline emphasized, holding Jeremy's hand harder.“Jeremy, I’ll pull you up, I’ll definitely be able to!”“Linnie.”Looking at Madeline trying so hard and so determined, Jeremy was also determined not to let himself fall at this critical moment.However, his legs were too weak and numb. Worried that he would pull Madeline down if he exerted too much force, Jeremy decided to let go.Madeline could see what Jeremy was trying to do, so she abruptly knelt down and stretched out her
Upon hearing Madeline's answer, Fabian felt like he was dreaming.How was that possible?Jeremy and Madeline were not opposed to it?Upon seeing the dazed Fabian, disbelief on his face, Shirley, as a bystander, also spoke up.“Actually, even an outsider like me can see clearly that you really care about Lily, Mr. Johnson. With you taking care of her, I think any parent would be at ease.”Upon hearing Shirley's words, Fabian felt a little embarrassed.“You should continue chatting, I'll head back to the room first. I have to work out an antidote as soon as possible so that the rashes on Lily's body disappear soon.”Shirley said and turned the wheelchair.Madeline glanced at Jeremy before following Shirley, “I'll take you back to the room.”Shirley wanted to refuse, but she figured that maybe Madeline had something to tell her, so she did not refuse.After returning to the room, Shirley went straight to the desk.Madeline saw the data that Shirley had studied in the past few d
“Ryan was still the highest administrative commander in Interpol at the time. So, Ryan used his position to help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money, and he profited from it. Carter had always known about this, and he was also involved.“Ryan was actually a very smart and excellent person. Carter was also very happy to work with him, and the cooperation had always been very pleasant, but then, Ryan slowly began to act differently, and the reason was you.”Shirley raised her head as she said that. Her eyes locked on Madeline tightly.Madeline frowned in confusion. “Because of me?”“Yes, because Ryan fell in love with you.”Shirley explained and sighed.“It's really hard for a person who’s blinded by love to think rationally. Speaking of which, Ryan and I are really similar. In the end, we both embarked on the path of self-destruction.”Shirley chuckled and sighed, but she quickly emphasized again.“Ryan's death has nothing to do with you. I think Carter figured that Ryan's pr
Madeline and Jeremy followed Fabian to the door of Lillian's room. Before they walked in, the couple heard Fabian's gentle and coaxing voice coming from the room.“What's wrong, Lily? You can’t sleep?”Fabian asked very gently, and Madeline and Jeremy saw their baby princess nodding slightly.Fabian was very patient, and he took a storybook from the shelf on the side. “Well then, Lily, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will tell you a story.”Lillian liked Fabian’s suggestion.The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.Fabian then sat down on the side of the bed and softly read from the storybook and patiently…As they watched this scene, Madeline and Jeremy felt warmth in their hearts.They did not continue to peek, and the two turned back to the guest room.After returning to the bedroom, Madeline lay down on the bed tiredly. She had been exhausted for the past few days, but now, she was finally relieved.The entanglement with Carter could finally c
“You probably have something to say to me, right?” Fabian asked directly.Jeremy smiled faintly. “Let’s talk downstairs.”As he spoke, he turned around and Fabian followed him afterward.It was already very late, so Fabian asked the servant to make black tea and some snacks, leaving him and Jeremy in the living room.Fabian knew that Jeremy had something to say to him, but Jeremy had been drinking tea at the moment, and he did not seem to want to speak. Eventually, Fabian could not stand it anymore.“Jeremy, you don't actually want Lily to stay with me, right?”Jeremy took a sip of the black tea leisurely and then put down the teacup unhurriedly. His sharp but gentle gaze fell on Fabian's face lightly.“Are you saying that you can't take care of Lily well?” Jeremy asked rhetorically.Fabian was taken aback. He hurriedly explained, “Jeremy, you know I didn't mean that.”“What are you trying to say then?”“I…” Fabian was stunned.“Fabian, I have a question. How did you and Car
Fabian seemed to suddenly become very impulsive because he was trying to show Jeremy his determination and stance.Jeremy could see Fabian's fervent anticipation, but he had not expected Fabian to use his past with Madeline as an example.In retrospect, he and Madeline had only met once back then, but they never forgot each other.However…Jeremy looked at Fabian thoughtfully, “But Lily is still an ignorant kid, and you are not.”“So, now, I will only take care of Lily with peace of mind. As long as she doesn't hate me, I will always be by her side.”Fabian made a solemn promise, and the look in his eyes was firm.“Jeremy, I, like you, also hope that Lily will grow up happily and healthily. So, I will not go beyond what I should do, let alone cause any trouble to Lily.”After listening to Fabian's sincere words, Jeremy smiled knowingly.“Lily still doesn't understand anything. Since she doesn't understand anything, her feelings are the most intuitive. She can feel it if you tr
