I’m worried that Hannah will be triggered by this incident to do something extreme to our children. ”
“How would she dare? Nia, you’re overthinking.”
Niamh smiled and shook her head. “If it were before, I would feel that I was worrying. But after so many incidents, I really have to believe that anything could happen in this world.”
Upon listening to what Niamh said, Kendrick’s expression also became serious.
‘Nia is indeed right.’
He thought in his heart and then hugged Niamh.
“Nia, you must be careful. If Fabian is very firm, don’t go head-on with him.”
“Yeah, I know. I will play it by ear, ” Niamh promised, but she was also very confident. “I believe that no matter what, he’ll still let me see Lily eventually.”
“That’ll be the best.” Kendrick sighed, then he tightened his arms around Niamh.
“I hope my wife can successfully bring my precious daughter back. When that happens, our family can be reunited again.”
Niamh smiled softly when she heard that. “ I’ll try my best to fulfill my husband’s wishes.”
She smiled as she promised. Two days later, she got onto the plane to F Country.
In F Country.
Inside a simple apartment.
Shirley sat on the chair next to the balcony. Her eyes were closed as she basked in the rare winter sun.
Suddenly, she heard Carter’s dissatisfied grumblings behind her.
“What do you mean no? I’m already in F Country and you’re telling me no? I’m telling you now that you have to make it possible even if it’s not! ”
Carter roared out furiously and hung up.
Shirley did not know why he was so angry, nor did she know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring her to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.
Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa.
He furrowed his eyebrows; his face looked extremely distressed.
A while later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, he recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.
Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.
Carter understood Shirley’s current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because he could feel that in Shirley’s heart, he was still very much present.
“ I’m going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don’t go anywhere, ” Carter informed and urged at the same time.
Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower body is paralyzed. Do you think I can still go out and travel the world?”
Carter could not help but furrow his brows when he heard that.
He also knew that Shirley was purposely talking back at him. He did not care too, so instead, he walked over to carry Shirley.
Shirley had stopped resisting a long time ago, and instead, she was like a lifeless puppet as she allowed Carter to maneuver her around.
Carter carried Shirley to the bed and placed the blanket on her softly.
“I’ll be back soon.”
He promised before turning around to leave.
Shirley looked in the direction of the door, and she did not come back to her senses after a long time.
She believed that Carter had not merely gone out to buy daily necessities. There must be something else.
It was afternoon again. The sun was shining brightly on this pleasant day.
It was rare for F Country to have such nice weather during winter.
Fabian helped Lillian put on some warm clothes before carrying her outside.
In City Park.
Although it was not a weekend, there were still a lot of people.
Fabian carried Lillian to the path that was covered in cobblestone before placing her down gently.
“Lily, let’s start, ” Fabian said, smiling gently.
Lillian lifted her pure and adorable little face and grinned at Fabian.
The adult and child then started walking on the path with less than one meter between them.
Lillian was also used to this. Recently, Fabian has been taking her out for some fresh air and sun every afternoon.
Even though it would only last for half an hour, it was already more than enough for Lillian.
Fabian would accompany her for a walk, and after the walk, he would take her nearby for some simple shopping and buy her gifts and snacks.
She was accustomed to this daily routine, and she liked it.
From a distance, Carter wore a black suit and sunglasses as he stood quietly in the dark, quietly observing the heart-warming scene on the cobblestone path.
Carter could not help but burst out laughing when he saw how Fabian was taking care of Lillian.
“Fabian, when I told you those things, I wanted to arouse the hatred in your heart to deal with Kendrick, instead of letting you take care of your enemy’s daughter so meticulously as you are now.”
Carter smiled irreverently. His tone sounded extremely ironic.
“Since you won’t do it, I’ll do it myself.”
His gaze darkened, and he turned back to the rented car.
Approximately twenty minutes later, Carter saw Fabian carrying Lillian back into the car.
His car was parked behind Fabian’s car so that he could easily observe Fabian and Lillian’s movements.
After a while, Fabian started the car and Carter followed behind.
He saw Fabian leading Lillian into a toy store that sold Barbie dolls. They then went to sit at a dessert shop for a while before they finally went back to the villa.
After a few days of observation, Carter realized that this was the sequence in which Fabian took Lillian out of the house every day.
As for Carter, he had completely figured the sequence out.
What Shirley could not figure out was what Carter was doing when he went out at such a time every day.
Intentional or otherwise, she had probed and asked him before. However, Carter, who evidently did not want to tell her, would muddle over the topic or change the subject each time she asked.
The more Carter behaved like this, the more Shirley felt that there was a problem.
This afternoon, Carter went out again.
Shirley, seated in the wheelchair, thought about it for ten seconds before deciding to follow him.
She had no idea when Carter rented a car. He then drove away quickly.
Shirley had limited mobility, but fortunately, taxis for the disabled could be called here.
However, once Shirley had gotten on her ride, Carter’s car was nowhere to be seen.
She could only ask the driver to drive around aimlessly. She said that she was from overseas and she did not know what was fun in F Country.
Additionally, she said that she just wanted to go around and get some fresh air.
The driver expressed his understanding and drove Shirley around. As they drove around aimlessly, they came to the busiest and biggest park in the city.
Shirley was surprised to find Carter’s car here. Through the window, she confirmed that the man sitting in the driver’s seat was Carter.
‘Why is he here?’
Shirley was confused, and she asked the driver to stop the car.
“Sir, I seem to have spotted an acquaintance, but I am not very sure. Can you follow the car in front of you for me later?”
Shirley pointed to Carter’s car and requested. Without thinking much about it, the driver agreed.
“Thank you, ” Shirley thanked the driver. As she finished speaking, she saw that the car parked in front of Carter’s was driving away, and in the next second, Carter also started his car.
