“What kind of poison is it? The same one you have i n your body?” Fabian pressed on with his questions; his expression was slightly more solemn.
Kendrick met Fabian’s inquisitive gaze and parted his thin lips, “It’s a kind of poison that could completely destroy the heart and body in the end. It won’t kill, only torment endlessly.”
Both Fabian and Evan, who were standing side by side, were shocked when they heard Kendrick’s explanation.
“How could there be such things? Why would someone develop such a terrifying poison?” Evan could not understand.
Be it from a doctor’s or an ordinary person’s point of view, Evan could not accept the fact that there was something so terrifying and harmful in this world.
“This is all I can do. From here on, we go our separate ways,” Fabian said icily before he continued to walk away.
“Fabian, do you think you can just leave like this? You can choose not to care about Nia, but what about my daughter? Where did you take her?”
Kendrick’s expression turned much sterner.
He walked up to Fabian. With such a tall and broad frame, Kendrick resembled a wall as he blocked Fabian’s path.
Kendrick stared forward with his deep gaze, releasing a domineering and frightening aura.
“Fabian, I’ll ask you one last time. Where did you hide my daughter Lilian?”
Kendrick’s gaze held a look of unchallengeable dominance.
Fabian and Kendrick locked gazes for a few seconds, then Fabian suddenly laughed. “You’re truly an interesting man, Mr. Waldburg. Why are you asking me about your missing daughter?”
“Fabian.”
Kendrick slowly lost patience.
“If you think that I have something to do with Yorick and Lana’s deaths, then pick on me.”
“No, your wife was right. They had no one to blame but themselves for their deaths.”
Fabian denied, the same casual smile graced his handsome expression again, but there was a sudden change in his gaze.
“I’ve merely got a better understanding of things and people, Kendrick. We’re not friends anymore, or perhaps you’ve never seen me as a friend since the beginning. I’ve even stupidly helped you investigate Lana’s death once, ridding you of your murder charge.”
Fabian chuckled self-deprecatingly.
“Hmph. Absolutely ridiculous.”
He chuckled and walked around Kendrick, then walked onward.
Evan glanced at Kendrick, saying nothing, and quickly followed after Fabian.
Kendrick shifted his body sideways and watched Fabian, who had a subtle air of sadness and loneliness about him as he left.
Amidst that, there also seemed to be something Fabian had wanted to say but could not.
Kendrick did not know where Lilian was now, but he was still certain that Fabian would not hurt Lilian.
It was just that he was very worried about his daughter’s sickness.
Moreover, there was something about Evan, who was walking beside Fabian, that felt familiar to Kendrick.
He felt like he had seen this man somewhere before. ‘Could this man be a doctor too?’
Kendrick returned to the hospital room in which Niamh was still in deep sleep.
When he saw how haggard her complexion was, Kendrick sighed softly, feeling guilty.
‘Nia, if I hadn’t brought you this nightmare, then perhaps you wouldn’t have to suffer so painfully at the poison’s flare-up.
‘I’m the cause of your pain.’
Kendrick leaned over to kiss between Niamh’s brows, then rifled through her pockets and jacket. There was indeed no anti-toxoid test reagent.
From Fabian’s reaction, the man did not seem like he was lying.
‘Where could the anti-toxoid test reagent be?’
Kendrick gave it some thought, then suddenly looked around the room.
‘Her purse.’
Niamh’s purse and phone were nowhere to be found.
He immediately turned around and pulled out his phone to call Fabian as he went in the direction Fabian had left, chasing after him.
However, Fabian did not pick up his call. After declining the call, Fabian blacklisted Kendrick’s number once again.
Kendrick truly found this blacklisting behavior extremely immature, and he wondered where Fabian had learned it.
Kendrick did not give up and continued to run towards the entrance, where he saw Fabian’s car streak past before his eyes.
“Fabian!”
Kendrick shouted as he rushed toward the car.
Fabian heard him but merely looked at the man through the rearview mirror calmly, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Kendrick felt exasperated, but he was afraid that something would happen to Niamh if he left her for too long.
He quickly returned to the hospital room. Kendrick let out a sigh of relief when he saw Niamh lying on the bed, sleeping calmly. He had no other choice but to stay by her bed.
On the road, Fabian unconsciously accelerated, and Evan, who was in the passenger seat, tightened his grip on the handle.
“Seriously, Fabian. Is this Kendrick that terrifying? T o the point that you have to run from him like this?”
Fabian frowned and, with extreme distaste, replied, “Who said I was terrified of him? I just don’t want to see or be in any form of contact with him.”
“You don’t want to see him? How do you plan to take revenge then? Could it be that your so-called revenge is to meticulously care for his sick daughter daily, spend a great amount of money to look for suitable bone marrow for a transplant, then find out, to your surprise, that your bone marrow was suitable and immediately donate yours?
“Finally, to prevent the parents from worrying about their child’s illness relapsing, you even made yourself into this ruthless villain?
“Ha. What a unique revenge plan you’ve got here, Fabian.”
Fabian frowned deeper when he heard Evan mock him.
“Can you shut up?”
“Why? Did I get it right?” Evan chuckled and asked. “You truly have changed, Fabian.”
As Evan’s voice fell, Fabian suddenly stopped the car.
“Get out.” Fabian said in annoyance, chasing Evan away.
Evan, who had already gotten used to Fabian’s occasional immature behavior, got out of the car cooperatively.
“You’re chasing me out now, but you’ re going to have to fetch me yourself if anything happens to that little girl,” Evan said pridefully.
Ignoring Evan, Fabian stepped on the accelerator to leave.
His mind was in a mess on his journey back.
As soon as he returned to the villa, a maid then nervously reported to him, “Young Master Fabian, you’re finally back. Young Lady Lillian started crying for some reason and she hasn’t stopped.”
When he heard, Fabian’s expression immediately changed.
His long legs strode forth and, as quick as lightning, arrived at Lillian’s bedroom.
“Lily.”
He called her name out nervously.
As he entered the room, he realized that the atmosphere inside was not as he expected.
Lillian was not crying, and the room was decorated to look like the venue of a birthday party.
A maid in the room saw Fabian return and smiled brightly as she wished, “Happy birthday, Young Master Fabian.”
‘Birthday?’
Fabian was dazed. ‘Is it my birthday today?’
The last time he celebrated his birthday was before Yorick died.
He had long forgotten what it felt like to celebrate his birthday.
Now, he watched as Lillian walked over to him with a smile, holding a small four-inch shortcake in her hands.
