“Carter, don’t hurt the child. She’s innocent! ”
Upon hearing that, Carter stopped abruptly in his tracks and Shirley quickly stopped her wheelchair.
Carter turned around and his eyes met Shirley’s anxious gaze.
“ I guess I’ve already become a cold-blooded and heartless demon in your heart too, haven’t I?”
Shirley was at a loss, but after that, she continued to talk Carter out of this.
“I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in your heart. You can seek revenge on Kendrick, but don’t take action against such a young child.”
“Even if I wanted to, you can’t stop me.”
After saying that, Carter carried Lillian out of the door.
Shirley’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed behind them.
“Carter, Carter! Carter, don’t, don’t hurt Lillian!” Click.
Carter opened the door at the same time Shirley said that.
Niamh, who had been waiting intently at the door, suddenly heard these words coming from the room, and her heart also skipped a beat.
“Lily! ”
Niamh ran to the entrance quickly, and at this moment, she saw Lillian who was held in Carter’s arms.
“Mommy.”
As soon as Lillian saw Niamh, she reflexively called out that word.
Shirley was surprised when she heard that, and at the same time, she saw the sudden appearance of Niamh.
“Eveline?”
Shirley was extremely surprised, but she felt also a hint of pleasant surprise.
She was surprised by Niamh’s appearance and pleasantly surprised to hear Lillian calling out to her mother.
It turned out that Lillian’s voice was so sweet and crisp.
Additionally, when she heard Lillian calling out to her mother, it also made her inexplicably envious.
When Lillian saw Niamh, her small body leaned hard toward Niamh.
“Lily.” Having not seen her baby girl for several months, Niamh was also very excited.
However, Carter stopped Niamh immediately. “ Stop.”
“Carter?”
“I’ll just let you take a look. You only wanted to know whether your daughter is safe or not, didn’t you?”
Niamh furrowed her charming eyebrows. “ Carter, I’m already here. You won’t die if you let me spend some time with my daughter.”
Shirley understood what Niamh meant, so she sided with her. “Let Eveline come in. I’ll help you keep an eye on them.”
“You’ll help me keep an eye on them?” Carter was amused. “ If I allowed that, you might be gone with them.”
“…” Shirley was speechless.
“Alright, since this is your request, I’ll agree with it.” Carter finally gave in.
After that, he placed Lillian down.
Niamh’s face immediately showed a look of delight. “Lily! ”
She called out to the little princess’ name and walked toward Lily to pull her into her arms.
“Lily.”
“Mommy,” Lillian called out to Niamh obediently, her frail little body tightly nestled in Niamh’s arms.
She wanted to say, ‘Mommy, I missed you.’
However, even if her little mouth was moving, she still could not make a sound. Merely the word “ Mommy” spilled from her lips.
Niamh felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she caressed Lillian’s little head.
She realized that Lillian’s hair had grown, but this further ached Niamh’s heart. “Lily, I missed you.”
Lillian lifted her fair and tender small hands to touch Niamh’s cheeks, then planted a kiss on Niamh’s cheek with her small lips.
“Mommy.”
“Lily.”
Niamh enjoyed the warmth in her arms, and tears started to fall from her eyes unconsciously.
Shirley, too, felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she watched this scene. She wanted to give Niamh and Lillian some time alone, but Carter suddenly walked over to slam the door shut.
Shirley quickly came back to her senses. She inexplicably felt a sense of anxiety creeping into her heart when she saw Carter staring gloomily at the embracing Niamh and Lillian.
“Eveline, why are you in F Country?” Shirley spoke deliberately, breaking the creepy atmosphere she was feeling.
Niamh slightly loosened her arms around Lillian and looked at Shirley who was in the wheelchair.
She had something to say to Shirley, but she decided to calm Lillian down first, then she slowly stood up while holding Lillian’s hand, looked at Carter, and spoke calmly.
“Carter, give me some time. I will not take Lily away by force. I also know that you will give me this opportunity, so don’t worry, I won’t risk my daughter’s safety.”
Carter seemed dissatisfied, but he glanced at Shirley as if he had compromised.
However, without speaking, Carter merely turned around silently, stepped out of the door, and closed the door.
Niamh knew that Carter would be guarding the door, so it would be impossible to leave, but at least the air around her was not so rigid and depressing at the moment.
“Lily, I need to talk to this nice lady, so please be a good girl,” Niamh bent over and said softly to Lillian.
Lillian blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently.
Niamh smiled happily. She then stood up straight and faced Shirley.
“ I believe you must be the reason why Lily is well taken care of. Thank you, ” Niamh thanked Shirley from the bottom of her heart.
Shirley had not expected to hear these two words again. Although she felt touched, she laughed at herself.
“Don’t thank me, I’m just making up for the mistake I’ve made. I just want to be a normal person in my limited remaining days, and I want to be a good person in some people’s eyes.”
Niamh understood what Shirley was saying. “ I think you’ve already done it. Also, even though Carter has a deep hatred and is very opinionated towards us, he probably is sincere toward you. You should not worry too much about your body. A treatment plan will be forthcoming soon.”
Upon hearing this, Shirley looked at Niamh in confusion. “Why do you say that?”
Niamh smiled slightly and told Shirley what had happened not long ago.
“ I think Carter brought you to Country F to treat you. I guess he’s hoping that you can return to the way you were before.”
Shirley was frozen in shock when she heard that.
She thought about what she had asked him during her argument with him in the past few days.
She had believed that he brought her to F Country to abduct Kendrick and Niamh’s daughter for revenge, but it turned out that this was not Carter’s main purpose?
Now that she had remembered, he did ask her back then, “Shirley, do you really think I came to F country for this little thing?”
It seemed that he came here for her. Impossible.
Shirley could not believe that Carter was risking himself to come to F Country for her.
Carter obviously loved himself the most.
When Niamh saw Shirley spacing out, she continued, “But you might have to wait for a bit. That doctor’s schedule is full for now.”
“ It’s fine. ” Shirley’s eyes were red. She said with a grin, “I am a doctor too, so I know my condition. I will never stand again, and as for the scar on my face, I know I can fix it, but I don’t think it’s necessary now.”
Shirley’s words revealed an indifferent attitude.
She seemed to have no expectations for the future.
“Addy died, and Cathy also died because she was implicated. I can’t escape from my guilt. Plus, I look like this now. If I couldn’t atone for my sins even while alive, it’s better to let the sickness slowly torment me to death. I’ll just think of it as a relief. ”
