Knowing this was the case, Niamh and Ryan immediately rushed to the kindergarten.
Lana was lying leisurely on a sun lounger by the swimming pool when a bodyguard ran in proudly, putting down Lillian whom he had brought with him in front of Lana.
“Ms. Lana, I’ve captured Eveline’s daughter.”
Lana raised her eyes to look at Lillian. The child’s beautiful and fair face carried the same small and exquisite features as Niamh’s.
Knowing that Kendrick was not there at the moment, Lana grabbed Lillian’s collar and dragged the little girl toward her.
“Hey, why are you pulling me, Aunty?” Little Lilly asked with big innocent eyes.
“Aunty? You dare call me aunty?” Lana’s expression suddenly sank. “Eveline’s little bitch is as annoying as she is! I heard that you were quick to cry when you got separated from Eveline the last time. Now I wonder what will happen to her if this little thing dies?”
Lana’s eyes were dark.
“Eveline, do you still want to marry Ryan so happily? Hmph, this time, I’ll have you cry and beg me for mercy!” she said, pushing Lillian to the ground.
Lillian sank to the ground. Her big but clear and pure eyes were filled with doubts, yet she did not cry.
“Throw this little thing into the pool and drown her!” Lana ordered.
The bodyguard on the side obeyed her order and grabbed Lillian.
“Let go of me, bad uncle. Let me go.” Lillian struggled, biting on the man’s palm.
The man became irritated instantly and threw Lillian, who was only five years old, into the swimming pool!
Splash! There was a spray of water.
Lana looked at Lillian who was struggling in the water with satisfaction and lit a cigarette. “Eveline, with your parents dead and soon your daughter, I want to see if you still dare to go up against me!”
Splash, splash!
Lillian instinctively struggled in the water.
Meanwhile, Lana stood by the pool and enjoyed the scenery. She watched Lillian eventually halt in her struggling, gradually sinking to the bottom of the pool. Lana then took a puff of smoke, her gaze becoming more psychotic and satisfied.
“Eveline, it seems like I’ll be able to see what you’ll look like when you’re suffering in pain soon enough.”
Lana smiled, then turned around and headed out. She decided to dispose of Lillian’s corpse only when she returned.
Fabian, who had come out of the house to answer the phone, could vaguely hear some weird noises. He walked toward the pool where the noises came from.
At first, he thought it was just a bird that was fluttering on the surface of the swimming pool, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was a child!
He did not know why there was a child in the water. He hurried over and jumped into the water without hesitation.
When he saw that the little girl was Lillian, Fabian’s mind went blank momentarily. The next second, he forced himself to calm down and carried Lillian, who had lost consciousness and looked pale, out of the swimming pool.
“Lillian! Lillian!” Fabian was really anxious.
Yet no matter how he called Lillian, there was still no response from the child.
“Lillian!” Fabian lightly patted her small face. He was panicking so much that his hands had begun to tremble.
He immediately called out to his two subordinates, Earl Grey and Red Tea, who were always following him.
Witnessing the situation before them, they immediately reminded Fabian. “Hurry up and give this child CPR!”
“CPR?”
“Hurry up, Mr. Fabian, you’ve already lost your first kiss anyway, so why are you hesitating? If you don’t want this little girl to die, you should hurry up.”
“Mr. Fabian, I can do it as well. I’ve learned how to perform CPR!” The man named Red Tea rolled up his sleeves and was about to walk toward them.
However, Fabian suddenly looked unusually stern. He pinched Lillian’s small nose and held up her mouth, then bent down and started performing CPR. After repeating it many times, he gave Lillian chest and lung compressions again.
“Lillian, please wake up quickly. Wake up!”
Fabian prayed while continuing CPR.
His heart had never been so messed up. Looking at this small, pale face, what appeared in his mind was Lillian’s energetic and lovely appearance.
On the day they first met each other, he had taken Lillian, who was just rescued from Felipe, from Earl’s hands.
He had never seen such a cute doll-like child before, especially those eyes that shone brightly as if they were glass.
“Lillian! Wake up, you haven’t gotten the candy that Mr. White Hair wants to give you. Stop sleeping, little fool. Wake up!”
Fabian felt that he had never been so worried before.
Earl, who was beside him, was stunned when he saw this. The boss was crying?
Just as he found it unbelievable and wanted to take a closer look, Lillian spat out the ingested water that was in her stomach. She then continued to vomit out more water.
“Lillian!” Fabian happily hugged Lillian who was still half-conscious and noticed the little girl having a hard time cracking open her eyes.
“Mr. White… Hair…”
“Yes! Lillian, I’m your Mr. White Hair!” Still surprised, Fabian carried Lillian who had fallen asleep back to his room.
When he was helping Lillian change her clothes, he had specially instructed Earl and Red to wait at the door.
Earl and Red teased him, feeling dissatisfied. “Mr. Fabian, you’re also a man, so why can you look at the girl?”
Fabian retaliated reasonably. “This is my younger sister. Who didn’t shower with their brother when they were younger? What’s wrong with looking?! Besides, I was just changing Lily’s clothes. It’s not as obscene as you think!”
Earl and Red covered their mouths and snickered upon hearing that.
In the room, Fabian was serious about changing Lily’s clothes. He even asked Earl and Red to go to the mall to buy some clothes immediately as he gently dried Lily’s hair and wiped her face.
Seeing the color on the little girl’s face gradually recovering, a relieved smile slowly appeared on Fabian’s face.
“With me here, Lillian will definitely be fine.”
He promised, but it was very strange how Lily ended up in the pool at home.
Although he did not have the brains for business like Yorick did, he was not stupid either.
He quickly thought of Lana and decided to ask Lana for an explanation after Lillian woke up.
…
Niamh and Ryan searched in the park for a long time but did not find any trace of Lily. They pulled some strings to check the surveillance footage but also found nothing suspicious.
The sky gradually darkened. Niamh came out from the park entrance wearily. Looking at the traffic on the road, her tears rolled down silently.
Ryan walked toward her and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe off the tears on her face.
“Don’t be so worried, we’ll find her. If she’s been kidnapped, the other party won’t hurt Lillian without getting the money.”
Ryan comforted gently.
Niamh looked at the rows of lampposts in front of her, her tears flickering under the dim lights.
“Lillian means a lot to me. It was this child who gave me the courage to live during my darkest and most painful moments in life. She isn’t just my daughter, she’s my hope.
“I just want to live a peaceful life, but why is that so difficult?”
‘I’ve already lost my dear parents and can no longer reunite with the man who I once wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Why is it still not enough? Is it because I was born ominous and that’s why everyone around me has to leave me one by one?”
Niamh broke down into tears. Ryan reached out with a serious expression and hugged Niamh.
He felt sad and sorry for her, so he comforted her.
“God always likes to sharpen the good people. Maybe He wishes you to become better.”
Niamh shook her head. “I don’t want to be better. Sometimes, I just want to be a girl who’s weak and has emotions. I want to be protected by the ones I love. I just want to have a shoulder to lean on when I’m tired.”
“You’ve found it. I’m the safe haven you can rely on for the rest of your life.” Ryan hugged Niamh tighter and planted a loving kiss on the top of her head.
Lana intentionally drove Kendrick to the entrance of the park.
She initially wanted to see the anguished look on Niamh when she could not find her child, but she saw Ryan hugging Niamh instead. The position the two of them were in looked suggestive.
She took a look at Kendrick’s expression and found that Kendrick had only taken a glance before looking away with disdain.
“Kendrick, your ex-wife is over there. Do you wanna say hello?” Lana asked tentatively.
“They’re on a sweet date, so why should we bother them? Let’s go.” Kendrick looked askance nonchalantly, but there was already a surge of unspeakable pain in his heart. This pain gradually eroded his consciousness and pulled at his emotions.
