If it had been a girl, she would look very beautiful and lively, would she not?
After all, she and Carter were quite good-looking. However…
That child had already left her.
Moreover, she was the one who killed the child. ‘I’m sorry, baby.
‘I had no choice.
‘I couldn’t bring you into this world with flaws.
‘I know you’d blame me, but it’s okay. I’ll come and find you after a while, so when the time comes, I’ll repent the sins I’ve done to you.’
Shirley thought about it silently and lifted her hand to wipe away her tears.
At this moment, she suddenly had a thought.
Carter had left, so did it mean she had the chance to take Lillian away from here?
Shirley, no longer in the mood to eat breakfast, immediately moved her wheelchair to the entrance.
When Lillian saw this, she placed the milk down from her hand and walked toward the door.
However, Shirley tried to open the door a few times, and yet she failed every time.
Of course. How would Carter not know what she had in mind?
The door of the apartment was locked from the outside. She could not even open the door, so how could she help Lillian leave?
Shirley sighed regretfully and turned to see Lillian blinking and looking at her curiously.
She looked at Lillian, and with a gentle smile, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Lily. I can’t think of a way to send you home for the time being.”
Lillian understood what Shirley meant, and she pressed her lovely cherry blossom pink lips together into a sweet smile. She did not blame Shirley at all.
“By the way, Lily, do you remember your parents’ phone numbers? I can call your parents.”
Shirley asked, suddenly recalling the card Lillian had given her earlier.
The contact information of Lillian’s family member was on that card.
When she remembered that Carter had thrown the card into the trash last night, Shirley immediately turned around and went to the trash can.
Unbothered by the filth, Shirley reached her hand in and rummaged through the trash can. However, she could not find the card.
Sure enough, he had gotten rid of it long ago.
Carter was so meticulous, so how could he not already know what she would think?
Shirley reluctantly put down the trash can, and at this moment, Lillian handed Shirley a small note.
Puzzled, Shirley took the note in her hand and saw a phone number written on it.
Shirley suddenly showed a surprised smile. “Lily, you are awesome! ”
Lillian curled her adorable lips and smiled, revealing her sweet dimple.
In fact, it was not that Lilian remembered Kendrick and Niamh’s numbers; the phone number on the paper belonged to Fabian.
This was the number Fabian asked Lillian to memorize some time ago.
He was afraid that one day, Lillian might go missing and lose her card. Considering that Lilian could not speak, if that happened, the number she memorized in her head would be useful.
Shirley had no cell phone initially, but then Carter gave her one. However, she also knew that she definitely could not find the phone at the moment.
Fortunately, however, this apartment had a landline!
Shirley was worried that Carter had tampered with the landline too. She picked up the phone in a panic, and unexpectedly, she found that there was nothing wrong with the landline!
At this moment, Fabian received a call.
It was his good friend Evan who called him.
Evan told Fabian on the phone that a man named Carter had just met with him and that they had discussed some things.
Moreover, he just heard that Fabian was also looking for a person named Carter these two days. Therefore, he wondered if this Carter was the one Fabian was looking for, and that was why he called.
Upon hearing Evan’s description, Fabian was certain that the person Evan had just met with was Carter, so Fabian rushed over instantly.
As he drove on the road, his phone rang again, but it was from an unfamiliar landline number.
He picked it up without hesitation, then an unfamiliar woman’s voice came from the other end, and she sounded very anxious.
“Are you Lillian’s family member?”
Fabian’s expression changed. “I am. Who is this?”
“Lillian is with me now. Please come over right now to pick her up because she might be in trouble if you’re too late! I’m in…”
On the other end of the phone, Shirley hurriedly reported the address of the apartment.
Fabian slammed on the brake. “Who are you? Why should I believe you? Put Lily on the phone.”
“She can’t speak.” Shirley glanced anxiously at Lillian, who was standing next to her.
“She can! ” Fabian emphasized, “She can say ‘ Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’. Put her on the phone. Now. ”
Shirley looked at Lillian in surprise when she heard that. She then handed the receiver to Lillian. “Lily, do you know how to talk? If you can, say ‘Mommy’ or ‘Daddy’ into the phone.”
Lillian understood what Shirley was asking her to do. She took the receiver and then she heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone.
”Lily! Is that you, Lily? This is Fab. If you hear me, please say my name!”
Lillian clearly heard Fabian’s eager voice on the other end of the phone. She also understood what Fabian wanted her to do, and her cute little mouth moved.
Shirley also looked at Lillian’s cute little face expectantly, waiting for her to speak.
However, at this moment, Shirley heard the sound of the door opening from the hallway.
She realized that Carter might be back, and her heart leaped.
“Lily, hurry up and say ‘Mommy’ or ‘Daddy’ to the guy on the phone. Otherwise, it’ll be too late! ”
Shirley urged urgently, and at the same time, she heard the door opening.
Lillian looked at Shirley blankly and moved her cute little pink lips. “Dad…”
Click!
The moment Lillian had said that, Shirley reached out and snatched the receiver from Lillian’s hand and quickly put it back on the landline.
Lillian looked at Shirley and blinked her eyes curiously, then her clear eyes shifted to Carter who had entered from the hallway.
The doubts in her blank eyes started to dissipate gradually.
However, Carter, with his keen observation skill, glanced at the nearly untouched breakfast, and then his sharp gaze fell on the landline next to the sofa.
“What are you doing here?” Carter asked, his tone was indifferent.
Shirley felt a little guilty, but she restrained her anxiety and looked at Lillian with a smile.
“Where should I be if not here? You locked the door to prevent me from going out. Is it wrong for me to hang around the house now? If you don’t want to see me, you can lock me in the room and never let me out of that cage.”
Carter’s expression did not change as he listened to Shirley’s rebuke.
Shirley did not know what Carter was thinking, and she did not even know whether Fabian believed what she said. At this moment, she was very anxious, so she reached out and patted Lillian on the shoulder.
“Lily, go back to the room with me. There is someone here who doesn’t want to see us.”
Of course, Lillian listened to Shirley. She nodded, then followed Shirley and turned around.
When she turned around, she did not forget to reach out her little hand and grab the breakfast on the coffee table before handing it to Shirley.
Shirley had not expected Lillian to be so caring even when she was so young. She smiled and took the breakfast. An unprecedented sweetness surged into her heart.
Carter calmly watched Shirley leading Lillian into the room. He then put his long legs forward and casually picked up the landline receiver on the cabinet before pressing the redial button.
On the other end of the phone, Fabian had already turned the car around and was speeding down the road when the phone rang again.
The number displayed on the screen was the landline phone just now.
