“I don’t need to tell you whatever I’m doing,” Fabian said in dissatisfaction.
“But the only reason you know about the truth of your siblings’ deaths is because of me.
“Fabian, even though your sister was not a pitiful person, she was still your sister. As for Yorick, you know very well how he treated you. Do you want the people who caused them to die to continue to live in this world freely?
“Now that this child is with you, it’s your best chance to retaliate against them. Don’t hesitate. You’re just giving Kendrick opportunities if you hesitate.”
The man was hinting at something through his words. At the same time, his tone sounded like a spell that was playing with Fabian’s emotions.
After the man said that, he hung up the phone decisively.
Fabian threw his phone at the desk, and his eyes went back to the computer screen in front of him.
He read the words Yorick had written and clenched his fists. His expression gradually turned more solemn.
A few minutes later, he suddenly grabbed his phone to call Evan. “You don’t have to look for a suitable bone marrow anymore.”
“What?” On the other end of the call, Evan was puzzled.
However, he did not get an answer from Fabian even after a long while.
“Fabian, are you there? What do you mean by that? Are you planning to give up on this little girl?”
Evan asked, feeling doubtful.
Ten seconds later, Evan heard Fabian’s emotionless answer.
“Let her illness run its course on her. You don’t have to deal with this anymore.”
After he said this heartless and cold statement, Fabian hurriedly hung up the phone. He was scared that Evan would ask him for the reason.
However, who could he tell the reason to?
After struggling with his thoughts, Fabian went to Lillian’s bedroom.
The maid, who just left the room, told Fabian that Lillian had just fallen asleep.
After Fabian asked the maid to leave, he quietly and slowly walked next to Lillian’s bed.
He saw her naive and innocent sleeping face. He still remembered the first time he had met her.
What an adorable little girl.
That was the first time he thought that children could be so adorable and delightful.
He still remembered how Lillian had innocently kissed him back then.
People around him had even mocked him, saying that he lost his first kiss.
However, that was not his first kiss.
She was just a naive and innocent little girl. She did not know anything.
Fabian unconsciously tugged the corners of his lips into a smile. However, the next second, he remembered Yorick.
The gentleness in his eyes immediately disappeared. The smile on the corner of his lips was gone as well.
“Lillian Waldburg, I’m sorry I have to disappoint you although you’ve shown your trust in me.”
Since Niamh could not find Lillian during this period, she decided to project her worry into her work.
She knew it would be useless for her to be anxious, but as a mother, she could not help herself.
She had locked herself in her lab to blend fragrances. When she felt sleepy in the afternoon, she sat on the sofa to rest her eyes. While she was drifting in and out of sleep, she vaguely heard someone calling her ‘Mommy’.
Niamh instinctively reached out her hand to grab the air in front of her. “Lily.”
”Mommy, I’m here.” The little princess’ soft voice sounded from in front of her.
Niamh felt the corners of her eyes turning hot from emotions. She had not heard this child talk in so long.
Now, she finally heard her talking again. That sweet voice was so clear and melodic.
Niamh saw a small figure in front of her and it was Lillian’s silhouette.
Niamh reached out her hand to grab Lillian and she finally grabbed a hand. However, she suddenly jolted awake and what came into her vision was Kendrick’s handsome face that was filled with worry.
“Nia, did you have a dream about Lily?” Kendrick approached her and asked gently.
Niamh looked at her clenched fist and came back to her senses.
The happiness she felt just earlier immediately turned into endless disappointment.
“Yeah, I had a dream about her. I heard her talking to me too and she wanted me to go look for her.”
“Nia…”
Knock, knock, knock.
When Kendrick was about to ask Niamh more questions, they heard someone knocking on the door of the lab.
The secretary pushed the door open and came in. She reported, “Mr. Waldburg, Ms. Montgomery, someone named Carter Gray wants to see you.”
‘Carter is here?’
Kendrick and Niamh subconsciously started to be more alert.
This person surely had not come in peace.
Niamh recomposed her emotions and arrived at the reception room with Kendrick.
Carter was wearing a high-end limited edition custom-made suit, looking elegant and gentle.
However, when they thought about what he had done back then, the description seemed to have nothing to do with him.
When Carter saw Niamh and Kendrick walking over, he lifted the corners of his lips into a superficial smile before handing them the invitation card in his hand.
“I’m here to give this invitation to you two. I’m going to hold my wedding ceremony in the most luxurious six-star hotel under Waldburg Corporation this Saturday.”
Carter had a smile on his face as he continued.
“Since we know each other, it means that we’ve been brought together by fate. I hope you two can come to my wedding. Please ask the staff of the hotel to give me their best service, Mr. Waldburg.”
There were a lot of industries under Waldburg Corporation. Kendrick did not know why Carter chose his hotel for his wedding ceremony and he also did not expect that Carter was able to find another woman to marry him in such a short period.
However, Kendrick was sure that the woman was not Shirley.
“Thank you for your acknowledgment of the hotel my company is managing, Mr. Gray. The hotel staff will act accordingly. As for your wedding, my wife and I—”
“We’ll be there on time.”
When Kendrick was about to reject Carter, Niamh interrupted him and accepted the invitation from Carter.
Niamh took Carter’s invitation and displayed a fake smile. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now, Mr. Gray.”
Carter chuckled at Niamh’s perfunctory attitude.
“Yes, I don’t have anything else to say. However, I heard that you’re in some sort of kerfuffle recently. Your daughter has been kidnapped, right?”
After Lillian was kidnapped by Fabian, Kendrick had been using a lot of platforms to get news on Lillian and Fabian. Hence, it was not surprising that Carter would have heard about this.
Even though Niamh was bothered by this, she would not show her weakness in front of someone who was deliberately doing this just to see her embarrass herself.
She curled her pink lips and said calmly.
“Yes, such a thing has happened. However, it’s our issue, so we’ll take care of it. You don’t have to worry, Mr. Gray.”
Carter admired Niamh’s calm demeanor.
He looked at Niamh with a faint smile and knew she was actually very anxious deep down.
“You don’t have to be so against me. Perhaps I can provide you with information about the location of your precious daughter?”
Niamh and Kendrick’s expressions changed at the same time.
Additionally, Niamh saw the confident smile on Carter’s face, and it seemed that he truly knew Lilian’s whereabouts.
Her heart started to race. She wanted to know Lillia’s whereabouts. She desperately wanted to know, no matter how insignificant a clue.
However, knowing Carter, how would he reveal to them this information so easily?
