Sean looked at the gentleness and tenderness in Eloise’s eyes, answering firmly, “You’re my wife, so it’s my job to be worried about you and help you carry some of your burdens.”
Niamh was listening at one side, and her heart was filled with gladness.
Back then, she felt that Sean and Eloise had a great relationship. At the same time, it was proven that age did not matter when it came to love. It would not fade away with the flow of time either.
The moonlight was tranquil at night.
Niamh sat and leaned against the bed while Kendrick squatted at one side to apply ointment to her ankle.
“Nia, is it still hurting?”
“No,” Niamh smiled and answered.
When Kendrick heard Niamh’s answer, he felt even more heartbroken.
She was too eager to be well and act strong. She would not make a sound even if she was in pain.
“Nia, I know you’re worried about Lily. Even though we don’t know where our child is, we can at least be assured that Fabian won’t do anything to hurt Lily.” “I know.” Niamh was sure about this too. “ However, Lily’s illness… I really don’t understand why Fabian wanted to abduct Lily. The people he hates are us but why did he abduct a little girl who he won’t hurt or seek revenge on?”
Kendrick abruptly stopped applying the ointment.
Actually, it had been so long and he still did not understand Fabian’s actions.
However, he was sure that Fabian had gotten some news from somewhere that led to him suddenly resisting them.
Perhaps, that person had given Fabian false news that was detrimental to Kendrick and Niamh.
However, even though Fabian was still young, Kendrick thought that he was not someone who was brainless and would be easily manipulated by others.
“Nia.” Kendrick grabbed Niamh’s hands softly and got up to sit next to her. He pulled her into his arms. “Nia, after we raise the kids, I want to find a suburb that’s near the mountain and the ocean so that we can finally live a life with just the two of us.”
Kendrick voiced the wonderful expectation in his heart. He was planning for this happy and blissful future while sincerely working hard to realize it.
Meanwhile, he also hoped that Niamh would be able to forget her troubles at this moment.
Niamh gently leaned her head against Kendrick’s shoulder and closed her eyes while feeling deeply immersed at this moment. Then, she sighed long and hard in silence.
“That day will come. ” She was hoping for that as well. She was longing for the children to grow up healthily and happily so that they were able to take a step back from their role as parents.
However…
Niamh slowly opened her eyes that had reddened. ‘But Lily, where are you?
‘Where should I look for you? Are you okay?’
F Country.
Inside a small secluded detached villa.
A young and handsome doctor in a white coat had just finished examining Lillian.
He looked at Fabian who was accompanying her and walked toward the door.
Meanwhile, Fabian walked to the side of the bed and gently caressed Lillian’s warm cheek. “Lily, I’m going out for a bit.”
He said softly and put a soft toy in Lillian’s hand.
Lillian gently held the soft toy and nodded at Fabian obediently while looking at him.
Fabian smiled slightly before turning around to walk out.
Actually, he had gone back to F Country. However, the chartered plane was just a ruse. He purposely spread the information about this so that Kendrick and Niamh would track him.
In reality, he never boarded that plane. Instead, he took Lillian on a normal flight back to F Country.
“Evan, ” Fabian called out to the young doctor. “ How is she?”
The doctor named Evan furrowed his thick eyebrows. “Her condition doesn’t look too good. It’s going to be difficult treating her.”
Fabian’s heart sank and he almost could not control his emotions. “How is that possible? Her condition has always been stable.
“You’re a top student who graduated from the best medical university in the world and you specialize in treating leukemia in children. If you think this is difficult, who else can I go to?”
When Evan saw Fabian looking extremely worried and uneasy, he turned his head to look at Lillian who was holding her soft toy in bed.
“Fabian, who is this little girl? Why are you so worried about her?”
When Fabian heard this, his expression changed. However, he changed the topic. “You don’t have to worry about who she is. At the end of the day, you have to treat her no matter what.”
“You’re just forcing me to do something against my will now.” Dr. Evan shrugged with a troubled expression on his face.
“How is it difficult? Every child that you’ve treated has recovered!”
“Yes, but those children are lucky. I don’t know if she’ll be lucky as well.” Evan softly raised his eyebrow and there was a troubled look on his handsome face.
“Fabian, after my examination, I’m sure that her previous doctor has misdiagnosed this little girl.”
“Misdiagnosis?” Fabian’s heart started racing, and there was an expectant look in his eyes. “You mean that Lily is not sick at all?”
“No. ” Evan’s expression looked more solemn now. “ She’s sick, and it’s even more serious than what was diagnosed before. This is why she hasn’t gotten any better after all this while.”
Fabian did not know what to say to that. He felt as if his heart had been split open and there was a bone- chilling coldness that spread to his limbs.
He felt dazed, but he still remembered what he wanted to ask. However, his tone sounded weak when he spoke.
“What are we going to do now? Is she still curable?”
“Yes,” Evan gave Fabian an affirmative answer. However, he quickly added, “The condition is that you have to find a suitable bone marrow for her to undergo a transplant.”
Bone marrow transplant!
Even though Fabian was not a professional, he knew how difficult it was to find a suitable bone marrow for a transplant.
There was hope, but it was so small.
“Right, it seems that the girl can’t speak?” Evan asked curiously. “After examining her so many times, aside from blinking and smiling, she has never said a single word.”
When Evan mentioned this, aside from feeling sorry for Lillian, Fabian felt even more remorse and uneasiness.
Even though he was not the reason Lillian had become like this, Lana was his sister, after all. He was still somewhat responsible. Plus, he needed to shoulder this responsibility.
“Please arrange for this immediately. I want to find a suitable bone marrow for this child as soon as possible. However, you can’ t be too public about this,” Fabian requested while feeling helpless.
“You don’t want the child’s parents to find her after knowing this, do you?” Evan guessed what Fabian was thinking about in his heart.
Fabian did not answer. He reminded Evan once more to do it as soon as possible before turning around to go back to his bedroom.
When he looked at the adorable and pure Lillian who was like an angel, Fabian felt some discomfort.
He walked in front of Lillian and caressed her little head before promising her, “Lily, I promised I’d treat you and I will. Are you willing to trust me?”
Lillian blinked her clear big eyes and nodded.
Even if she could not speak, she was already showing her trust for Fabian through her eyes.
Fabian was glad, but at the same time, his heart was aching for Lillian.
After he asked the maid to watch over Lillian, he came to the study alone.
Even after switching on the lights in the study, Fabian still felt that his vision and heart were extremely dark.
He sat down in front of his desk and turned on his laptop. Then, he opened a folder, and inside the folder were notes that looked like a diary. The one who had written these notes was his brother, Yorick.
Fabian had read these words multiple times and could even recite them from memory now.
However, he would still read them every day to remind himself what he should do.
Later, he searched for Niamh and Kendrick’s photos on his laptop. When he saw the photos, the look in his eyes changed.
“I didn’t expect that we’d become enemies.”
His tone was cold and indifferent, but at the same time, it was laced with some remorse.
After he said that, his phone started vibrating. When he saw who the caller was, he slowly picked up the phone…
A cold and deep masculine voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
“You’ve already had his daughter for a while so why aren’t there any updates? Don’t you want to seek revenge on behalf of your siblings?”
Fabian frowned after he heard that. A look of indignation appeared on his youthful and handsome face.
