‘You’ll come back to Mommy and Daddy and your beloved Jackie. From now on, we’ll watch you grow up.’
After Fabian received his men’s phone call, he went over for the handover.
This was the first time he met such an adorable little girl, and Fabian felt as if his heart was going to melt.
“Good-looking mister, where are you taking me?” Since Lillian was still young, she thought these people were only older kids who were playing with her. She did not think too much about it.
Fabian carried Lillian and pinched her adorable face. “I’m taking you to see your mommy.”
“Really?” Lillian blinked her enormous eyes.
“Of course! I never lie to girls,” Fabian said proudly.
As a reward, Lillian took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Fabian.
Before Fabian could realize what was going on, he felt a warm and soft feeling on his cheek. “Muah! Thank you for taking me to see my mommy.”
“…”
Fabian did not expect his first kiss to be from a four-year-old little girl.
When his men saw this, they sniggered behind him.
“Cough, cough.” Fabian’s face turned red. After he cleared his throat, he saw Lillian smiling innocently at him. Then, he felt warmth surging in his heart.
Fabian carried Lillian into the bar. When he turned the corner, he saw Niamh running over hurriedly.
“Lillian.”
When Lillian heard her voice, she turned around. “Mommy?”
“Lillian, I missed you so much.” Niamh ran over and took Lillian away.
Fabian felt a little upset when he felt the emptiness in his hands.
He thought Lillian would be happy to be back in Niamh’s arms, but for some reason, he sensed that Lillian was rejecting Niamh.
“Lillian, it has been so long since I saw you. See, they have your favorite cotton candy over there. Do you want me to buy it for you?” Niamh carried a reluctant Lillian and turned around.
When Fabian was about to go over to take a look, he turned around and saw another Niamh.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the Niamh who was holding Lillian. Then, he looked at the Niamh who was walking over to him. “Why are there two Eveline Montgomeries?”
The Niamh who just walked out of the bar hurried over to Fabian. “Fabian, where’s my daughter?”
Looking at the worried and anxious face in front of him, Fabian realized something was wrong.
“Oh no!”
His expression changed as he turned around to chase after the Niamh who took Lillian.
Niamh did not know what was going on. She only heard Fabian saying ‘oh no’ out loud.
She knew Lillian had to be in trouble. As such, she quickly chased up to him.
However, after a few steps, she felt some discomfort in her lower abdomen.
When she thought about her condition, she did not dare to continue running anymore.
“Fabian, where’s my daughter?” she yelled at Fabian’s back as he ran hurriedly.
However, it was as if Fabian did not hear her. Niamh looked in the direction Fabian ran in, and under the intertwining rays of light, she saw Lillian’s confused face.
At this moment, a woman was holding Lillian. Then, the woman quickly hailed a cab by the side of the road before getting inside with Lillian.
“Lillian!”
“Sh*t!” Fabian cursed. He wanted to stop a car to continue the chase, but no cars wanted to stop for him.
At this moment, Niamh had already chased up to him. “Fabian, what’s going on? Who’s that woman?”
Fabian frowned and looked at Niamh’s face. “Eveline, do you have a twin sister?”
Twin sister?
Immediately, Niamh understood what was going on.
It was Nevaeh!
“I thought she was you! She looks just like you!”
Fabian grabbed his hair in frustration. Then, he looked at the horrified Niamh while feeling as if there was still some hope.
“Eveline, if she’s your sister, then I guess there won’t be a problem if your daughter is with her, right?”
“She’s not my sister!” Niamh clenched her fists and turned around.
Fabian ran up to Niamh and swore, “Don’t worry, Eveline. Since I promised I’ll save your daughter, then I’ll keep my promise and bring her back.”
Niamh did not say anything. On the other hand, she hailed a cab to the hospital to look for Kendrick.
Yet, Kendrick was not there. She also had no idea where Cathy was.
Nevaeh had appeared out of nowhere to disrupt her plan.
Nevaeh was a devious woman, and it was unknown what heinous things she would do.
Lillian would be in so much danger around her.
However, where was Kendrick?
Where would he go?
He had just begun to recover. Where would he go now?
At this moment, Fabian received a phone call saying that someone had barged into the Stygian Johnson Gang’s territory, so he needed to go back. However, he was worried about Niamh. “Eveline, why don’t you come with me? You’re pregnant now, so how do you expect to find your husband and daughter?”
Despite feeling frantic, Niamh felt that Fabian had a point. At this moment, she was unable to find Kendrick and Lillian on her own.
Kendrick found Yorick Johnson according to the address Felipe gave him.
Yorick was smoking as he looked at Kendrick with interest. “So, this is the Mr. Waldburg who’s from the richest family in Glendale? Who is Felipe Waldburg to you?”
“I don’t have any relations with Felipe Waldburg. I’m just here to look for my daughter.”
“Looking for your daughter? Who’s your daughter?”
“Lillian Waldburg.” Kendrick raised his frosty gaze. “The four-year-old girl you Stygian Johnsons stole from Felipe’s outer courtyard.”
Confused, Yorick leaned over to quietly ask Fabian, who stood beside him, about what was happening.
Watching the two whisper between themselves, Kendrick demanded coldly, “Give my daughter back to me.”
Yorick quirked an eyebrow and chuckled. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to return your daughter. However, a price must be paid.”
“Stop!”
Yorick was about to go for Kendrick’s life when a woman’s voice suddenly called for them to halt.
Her voice shot through Kendrick’s gloomy heart like a warm ray of sunshine.
He quickly turned his head to stare at the woman who was striding toward him. “Nia.”
“Why are you here, Kendrick?” Niamh stared at the man in front of her with concern. “Didn’t I tell you to rest in the hospital?”
Kendrick grabbed Niamh’s hand with excitement shining in his eyes. “It’s Lillian. Our daughter’s still alive, Nia.”
Niamh was shocked. “How did you know?”
“Felipe told me himself.” Kendrick then relayed the incident of how Felipe had visited him in the hospital moments ago.
Niamh understood what was going on in no time.
Felipe had been using Lillian’s safety to threaten her this whole time, but now that Lillian had been saved from him, he lost his bargaining chip. This was why he decided to tell Kendrick, so that Kendrick would come and risk his life in Felipe’s place.
Felipe’s hatred for Kendrick was evident from such an act. He would not think twice before throwing Kendrick into harm’s way in hopes for the latter to die in the process of taking Lillian back.
Kendrick was well aware of this fact.
While Yorick had no interest in watching the couple reunite, he adored his little brother Fabian enough to not interfere. Hence, he turned and left first.
