Shirley fell to the cold hard floor once again. Cathy did not expect that Adam would really let go of his hand. When she wanted to go help Shirley up, it was already too late.
Shirley, who had fallen on the floor, frowned in pain but she did not make a sound. She continued to crawl to the balcony.
Her beautiful and charming eyes were filled with sparkling tears.
However, how could she match up with Carter’s walking speed when she was crawling?
Before Shirley could crawl to the balcony, she heard the familiar sound of the engine from downstairs.
She knew it was the sound of Carter leaving in his car.
She figured that she might not be able to see this man again, hence Shirley gritted her teeth and used all of her might to crawl forward. When she got to the balcony, she saw that familiar sports car speeding away from the corners of her teary eyes.
Carter…
Shirley clenched her fists and watched as Carter’s car drove farther away. Her tears eventually fell drop by drop on the back of her hands.
“Heh, hehe, hahaha…”
Shirley lowered her head and started laughing at herself.
Her laughter reverberated amid the cold and biting snow and wind, sounding extremely mournful.
Carter sped all the way back to the manor.
The moment he went through the door, he saw Camille sitting upright and still on the sofa in front of him.
“You went to see her again.” It seemed that Camille knew this well and had seen through everything. “ Carter, don’t forget what you want. Are you seriously going to neglect your bright future for that woman?”
It was rare that Camille would talk to Carter in such a solemn manner.
“This is the last time, ” Carter promised. “From now on, I won’t go and see her again.”
“Good.” Camille was satisfied. Then, she said seriously, “Carter, I know you’re exceptional and you have dreams and aspirations. The future and prosperity of St. Piaf’s royalty depend on you.”
When Carter heard this, doubts appeared on his face.
Camille rarely talked to him about this. She had even mentioned previously that she did not want her son to participate in the fight among the royalty. However, she was taking the initiative to bring this up now.
There must be a reason for this.
“Carter, I’ve found a suitable candidate to be your viscountess. Not only do you know this person, but you also know her very well.
” I hope your wedding will go smoothly this time. ”
While Camille said that, she gestured to the butler to hand the tablet over to Carter.
Carter took the tablet and had a look. When he saw the photo on the screen, his eyes were filled with shock. It seemed that he could not believe what he was seeing.
“You want me to marry her?” Carter looked at Camille in suspicion.
Camille nodded firmly. “She’s the most suitable candidate for now, Carter. You’re someone who’s going to achieve great things, so I don’t want you to be driven by your emotions and let a woman affect your bright future.”
Carter looked at the photo on the screen with intense disgust in his heart. However, when he suddenly remembered what Shirley had said, he suddenly laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll focus on my career from now on. No woman will be able to affect my mood anymore.”
“Good.” Camille stood up and turned her head to order the butler, “Go and prepare for Mr. Carter’s marriage. It has to be grand, and I want to let everyone in St. Piaf witness that moment.”
“Understood, Madam,” the butler replied and was about to go make preparations.
“Wait.” Carter stopped him.
Camille looked at Carter. “Are you not happy with my suggestion or arrangement?”
“I want the wedding to be held in Glendale,” Carter voiced what he was thinking in his heart.
“Here?”
“I want it to be in the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.”
“However, you have a special identity in St. Piaf. This wedding will not just be a wedding, it’s more o f a contest, ” Camille said earnestly. However, she did not force Carter. Instead, she softened her tone.
“Can you tell me why?” “Kendrick Waldburg.”
Carter said those two words without any hesitation.
Camille pondered for a few seconds and then nodded. “We’ll just do it your way, then. We’ll have the wedding in the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.”
She promised and looked at the butler. “Go, we must make it look honorable and grand.”
The butler nodded and answered, “I will not disappoint you, Madam.”
After Camille and the butler left, Carter stood where he was with the tablet still in his hand.
The screen had already darkened, so he lifted his long and thin fingers to lightly tap on it.
The photo that appeared in front of him caused him to feel more resentful.
He threw the tablet on the sofa and walked to the laboratory in the basement.
He looked at the anti-toxoid test reagents that were arranged neatly on the rack. Ultimately, he chose one of the anti-toxoid test reagents.
“Shirley, do you think my plan can’t go on if I don’t have you? I was just using you this whole time.”
He murmured to himself. He was saying that so carefreely, but somehow, a strong unconvinced feeling was disrupting his thoughts.
Hospital.
It was finally sunny.
Even after more than a month of treatment, Lillian’s health was not getting any better. She was still sick.
Lillian would react strongly to every injection. She would feel sick and throw up too.
At the same time, the little princess’ black and soft hair kept falling. Eventually, the doctor suggested that she cut all of her hair.
Even though Lillian could not speak, she understood everything.
Although she would not have hair now, she could still grow it out after she recovered. Her hair would never be as important as her health.
On a bright and sunny afternoon, Niamh carried the little princess to the sofa on the balcony.
When she was just about to sunbathe with her child, the nurse who usually took care of Lillian came to see Niamh. She said the doctor needed to tell Niamh something.
Niamh figured that it was about Lillian’s condition, so she did not hesitate. After asking the nurse to take care of Lillian, she went to the doctor’s office. After Niamh left, the nurse took out her phone to call a number. “Mrs. Waldburg has left and Lillian is alone in the ward. You can come now.”
After the person on the other end of the phone received this call, they hung up without saying anything.
The nurse was curious. When she was wondering if she had been scammed, she received notification on her phone that she had received an impressive sum of money.
The nurse was delighted because she could buy the bag she had been eyeing for a long time now.
Then, she placed all of Lillian’s medical records on the table according to the order she received from the person who transferred her the money. After she did all of that, she closed the door and left.
Less than a minute after she left, a tall and upright figure appeared at the door of the ward.
The man did not hesitate before pushing the door open and walking into the ward.
After Niamh left, Lillian stopped paying attention to what was going on inside the ward. She was sitting on the sofa on the balcony, as quiet as a delicate doll as she looked out at the scenery.
However, when she heard someone pushing the door open and coming in, she turned her tiny body to look over.
Fabian’s approaching footsteps slowed down when Lillian looked over to him.
He was wearing a brown coat and a face mask. He had a bouquet of powder blue baby breaths in his hands. In his other hand, he was carrying a glass jar and inside the jar were colorful candies.
Lillian looked at Fabian and blinked her bright, huge eyes.
She supported herself using the sofa to stand up. However, since she had been receiving daily injections, she was very weak. It was very difficult for her to stand up.
Fabian could tell what Lillian was thinking, so he quickly recomposed himself and walked in front of Lillian.
When Lillian saw Fabian suddenly approaching her, she lifted her little head and looked straight into Fabian’s eyes.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she still could not utter a word.
Fabian frowned and squatted slowly to hand the bouquet to Lillian.
Lillian loved baby breaths, so she slowly lifted her tiny hands to gently hold the bouquet Fabian was giving her out of kind intentions.
