Both husband and wife felt a little distressed when they saw that the little cutie was seemingly thinking of something.
Half an hour later, Fabian did not return, but Evan arrived.
He was very enthusiastic and professional when he informed Niamh and Kendrick of Lillian’s physical condition. At the same time, he also explained in detail the bone marrow transplant operation at that time.
“Fab is really something else. Not only has he provided the hematopoietic stem cells Lily needed, but he also makes use of every second and every inch to take care of Lily’s everyday life. People who don’t know what’s going on might think that Lily is his daughter.“
Evan was saying that in a joking manner, but both Niamh and Kendrick could feel Fabian’s kindness to Lily.
“Lily’s body is recovering very well. Even if there were any sudden symptoms afterward, she’d recover slowly as long as she has regular check-ups, regular rests, and medication. You don’t have to worry too much.
“Of course, I prefer Lily to stay in F Country so that I can personally supervise her condition, but I can also understand how you feel as parents.“
Evan was very reasonable, and both Niamh and Kendrick felt that this was hard to come by.
“Thank you, Evan, you have helped Lily a lot. At the same time, you have also helped us a lot.“ Niamh thanked him sincerely.
“I’m just doing what a doctor should be doing. Fab’s the one who has given the most,” Evan emphasized.
Not long after he said that, the door of the coffee shop opened again.
Niamh looked up subconsciously, thinking that Fabian was back, but instead, a stranger came in.
However, this person did not seem like a complete stranger because he walked straight toward Niamh and the gang.
The person walked over purposefully, and it seemed that he knew them.
Niamh then quickly realized that this man knew Evan.
He respectfully gave Evan a polite smile before facing Niamh and Kendrick.
“Are you Mr. and Mrs. Waldburg?“ the man asked politely.
Niamh and Kendrick nodded. “And you are?“
“He is Fab’s assistant, “ Evan said, answering for the man.
“Fabian’s assistant?“ Niamh wondered, then it was as if she gradually understood something. “Is Fabian not coming?“
The man smiled and nodded. “Mr. Johnson suddenly has something important to deal with, so he can’t leave for the time being. He asked me to bring Miss Lily’s things over, and they’re all in the car. Could I trouble Mr. and Mrs. Waldburg to follow me and take them?“
After listening to the man’s explanation, Niamh and Kendrick also understood. They then led Lillian out of the coffee shop together.
As they moved the things, Evan stood by and called out to the assistant Fabian had sent.
“Fab doesn’t have something important to deal with, he just doesn’t want to come, isn’t that right?“ Evan asked directly.
This assistant also knew that Fabian and Evan had a very close relationship, so he nodded and confessed without concealing anything. The man also changed his tone and stopped addressing Fabian as Mr.
Johnson in disaffection. “Young Master Johnson is reluctant to leave Miss Lily. He didn’t have the courage to say goodbye, so that’s why he asked me to come.“
“I can’t believe this. “ Evan sighed with a smile. “I didn’t expect Fabian to fall for this little girl.“
When the assistant heard this, he hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Evan, Young Master Johnson doesn’t have any strange feelings for Miss Lily. Miss Lily is really likable, and I’m also fond of her. I’m reluctant for her to leave too.“
Upon hearing the assistant’s nervous explanation, Evan just smiled without arguing.
Niamh and Kendrick quickly moved Lillian’s things into suitcases next to them, filling up a total of three twenty-four-inch suitcases.
“It’s all the clothes Miss Lily usually wears and her toys, “ the assistant explained the situation as he stepped forward. He then brought a black box with very high-quality packaging from the passenger seat.
“This is something Mr. Johnson asked me to give Miss Lily.“
As he said that, he handed the box to Niamh. Niamh took it and found the box a little heavy. She did not know what was inside, and instead of opening it, she just smiled and thanked him.
“Well, I wish you three a safe flight. I ‘ll go back and report to Mr. Johnson first.“
“Thank you,“ Kendrick also thanked him. The man smiled and left soon after.
Evan also walked up to Lillian at this time before squatting slowly.
“Lily.“ There was a serious smile on his unruly face. “ I’ll see you next time, then. You must listen to your mommy and daddy. Fab and I will wait for you to come to play in F Country again.“
Evan smiled and raised his hand to gently tap Lillian’s little nose. He then stood up and spoke to Niamh and Kendrick.
“I’ll be leaving too, then. I ‘ll see you next time if I have the chance.“
Niamh thought about stopping Evan to say something, but when she moved her pink lips, she did not know what to say.
She spaced out for a few seconds, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw that her baby princess was also standing in a daze.
Lily looked in the direction where Evan was driving away and blinked. It seemed as if she was thinking about something.
“Nia, let’s go back to the hotel first.“ Kendrick walked to her side. “You should take Lily up first. I’ll carry these suitcases.“
“How can you carry three suitcases by yourself? Let me take one.“ Without speaking further, Niamh carried the black box in one hand and the suitcase in the other.
“Lily, come to me now. We’ll go back to the hotel together.“
Lillian heard Niamh calling out to her, but the little cutie was still looking in the direction Evan had driven away for a while before she turned to follow behind Niamh.
Of course, Niamh and Kendrick could sense how Lillian felt, but neither of them spoke.
After returning to the hotel, Niamh placed the little black box on the bed and called out to Lillian.
“Lily, this is a gift from Fabian. Let’s see what’s inside.“
Lillian blinked her big beautiful eyes and stretched out her small hand to pull the ribbon apart. Niamh then helped to open the box.
After opening it, Niamh felt a bright light flashing into her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that inside the box was a dazzling crown studded with rhinestones.
Lillian could not speak, but Niamh saw surprise and curiosity in her big pure eyes.
The little girl would not understand, but as a girl, she would have a natural affection for such beautiful ornaments. Additionally, this crystal crown was very beautiful, and it looked custom-made.
“Why did Fabian give such an expensive thing to Lily?“ Kendrick walked over. He could instantly see that the rhinestones on this crown were all genuine.
As a professional, Niamh could also see the value of this crown.
Niamh did not answer Kendrick’s question. She lowered her eyes and approached her before asking with a loving and gentle smile.
“Lily, do you like it?“
Lillian nodded. Her sweet dimples danced on the sides of her lips.
“You should return such a valuable thing to Fabian,“ Kendrick suggested.
Niamh was of the same mind, then she sighed ruefully and guessed, “Maybe Fabian has the same views as us. We all hope that Lily will become a carefree little princess.“
She smiled and sighed. As she was about to put the crown back, she suddenly found that there was a card in the box.
Niamh turned it over and saw that there was a short sentence written on it. She figured Fabian was the one who wrote this.
However, it turned out that, contrary to her guess, Fabian did not want Lillian to become a princess.
What he hoped was that Lillian could grow up stronger and more tenacious, then one day in the future, she would become a queen with sharp edges.
That was the real intention of him giving Lillian the crown.
However, this gift was still too heavy.
Kendrick asked Niamh and Lillian to stay in the hotel, then went to find Fabian following the address.
It was getting late when he arrived. The servant said that Fabian had not come out of the study all afternoon because he had some important things to deal with, so Kendrick should go back first.
Initially, Kendrick wanted to put down the box and leave, but after contemplating for a few seconds, he still decided to see Fabian.
Due to Kendrick’s aura, the servant dared not send Kendrick away directly, so he said that he would report to Fabian first.
Kendrick waited patiently downstairs, and a while later, Fabian himself come down.
Fabian stared at Kendrick with neither dissatisfaction nor resentment in his eyes.
However, he frowned when he saw the box on the coffee table.
“What’s the meaning of this?“
Fabian asked directly. When he saw the gift box that had been returned, his eyes were laced with disappointment and dissatisfaction.
Kendrick lifted the corner of his lips into a soft smile and said, “Fabian, I can understand how you felt when you gifted this to Lily, but it’s too expensive.“
