Shirley suddenly had nothing to say to that.
She wanted to continue asking, but she also knew that Carter would not tell her the truth.
She lifted her eyes to look at the French window. It was still raining, and the wind never stopped howling.
This cold weather, just like her heart, was going to freeze over.
In F Country.
After hanging up the phone, Fabian stood in the same spot in a daze.
What Carter said not long ago lingered in his mind. Yorick and Lana’s deaths still haunted his mind after a very long time.
He also learned about Kendrick’s undercover identity toward the end. Kendrick had only deliberately stayed with Lana to collect evidence.
Just as Kendrick and the Interpol had hoped, Yorick was executed, and before that, Lana was killed by Ryan.
The reason for all this could indeed be attributed to Kendrick. “Kendrick.”
Fabian faintly spat out Kendrick’s name from his mouth, and something called animosity gradually appeared in his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt someone pulling the corners of his clothes slightly.
Fabian lowered his gaze and saw the adorable and tender doll-like face.
Lillian blinked her clear and innocent big eyes. Her head was lifted as she stared at Fabian with a smile on her face.
Fabian looked into her eyes which looked like stars, and the hatred in his eyes was immediately swept away.
Fabian quickly smiled warmly and brightly at her before he squatted and held Lillian’s small shoulders.
“Lily, do you need something from me? Why aren’t you resting in your room?”
Lillian blinked and pointed outside.
Fabian quickly understood what Lillian meant. “ You want to go outside to play, Lily?”
Lillian nodded seriously.
As Fabian held Lillian’s cute little hand, his heart broke. In truth, he understood. It must be very boring to stay in the same room every day, but considering Lily’s condition, Fabian was still worried.
However, looking at Lillian’s expectant eyes,
Fabian immediately called his friend Evan to ask.
Soon after, Evan gave Fabian a satisfactory answer. “Lily has been stable recently. She can go out, but it must be on a sunny day and you can’t leave her in the wind. Plus, she can spend no more than half an hour outside. As long as you can make sure to take good care of her, you can take her out for a walk. ”
After getting this answer, Fabian suddenly felt more uplifted.
Happily, he squatted in front of Lillian again and adjusted the beret on her little head.
“Lily, I’ll take you out now.”
Upon hearing that, Lillian smiled and nodded, her eyes turning into little crescents.
She still could not speak, but Fabian was already satisfied with such a response.
The weather in F Country was very sunny these days. Despite being a little cold, it was very comfortable.
Fabian carefully guarded Lillian and took her for a stroll outside.
When they returned, he carried Lillian back to the bedroom, then gently and affectionately, he tucked Lillian into bed.
The senior female butler saw this from one side, and she smiled and lamented, “Young Master Fabian, you are so considerate toward Miss Lily. Miss Lily will definitely recover soon with a brother like you.”
The female butler left after she said that, but Fabian fell deep in thought regarding what she just said.
Brother.
Was he her brother? No.
They were not related in any way, but he had an abnormally deep feeling toward her.
He wanted to properly care for this innocent and naive child not just for the present, but for a long time, as long as forever.
Ring, ring, ring!
The phone suddenly rang in a familiar melody.
Fabian knew that it was Niamh requesting a video call.
He handed the phone to Lillian and walked aside.
Despite knowing in his heart that Yorick died because Yorick had broken the law and that Lana only had herself to blame, Fabian did not truly want to face Niamh and Kendrick.
There was yet still a grudge in his heart.
He did not know where this grievance came from.
He stood on the balcony and saw Lillian smiling cheerfully at Niamh amid their video call.
He also heard Lillian calling out to her mother and father in a clear and sweet voice. These were the only words she could say at the moment.
Fabian’s heart hurt against his volition. He could not imagine how cruel Lana was back then to have frightened Lillian into a mute.
Moreover, how cruel Kendrick was back then to ignore his own flesh and blood to complete his undercover mission.
Fabian was silently in thought when he felt the familiar feeling of someone pulling the corner of his shirt again. He looked down and saw Lillian handing the phone to him with a sweet smile.
Fabian thought Lillian and Niamh had finished talking, but after picking up the phone, he was met with Niamh’s eyes.
Fabian, who was probably not mentally prepared for this, was taken aback for a moment.
Noticing Fabian’s surprise, Niamh smiled casually and greeted, “Fabian, long time no see. Can we talk?”
Upon hearing what Niamh said, Fabian’s finger, which hovered over the hang-up button, suddenly stopped.
Niamh’s gaze on the screen was earnest.
Fabian had vaguely guessed what Niamh was going to say to him, and he had the urge to hang up again.
However, Niamh also seemed to have predicted this, so she immediately said, “Fabian, I will be going to F Country in these two days, and I want to take Lily home while I’m there.”
Fabian seemed completely unsurprised upon hearing what Niamh said.
He had already expected it, and this is probably the only topic that Niamh had in common with him at the moment.
Seeing that Fabian merely looked at the phone without speaking, Niamh almost predicted the result.
“You can at least let me meet my daughter, can’t you?”
Niamh made a concession. Fabian stayed silent for another two seconds, and then he said, “We’ll talk about it when we can meet.”
After saying this, Fabian hung up the video call.
At the other end of the line, Niamh stared at the phone screen and then looked at Kendrick who was sitting next to her helplessly.
“Nia, don’t worry so much. At least Fabian is willing to talk to us now,” Kendrick comforted softly.
Niamh sighed quietly and then gently leaned her head on Kendrick’s shoulder. “I really miss Lily.”
Kendrick raised his hand and put his arm around Niamh’s shoulder. “There have been a lot of troubling things happening all this while. We could go to F Country to relax and take Lily home if we have the chance. Then, our family of five will be reunited.”
“I also really want to relax with you, Kendrick, but your leg injury is still recovering. I can’t allow you to run around with me.”
As Niamh spoke, she raised her worried yet beautiful eyes and gave Kendrick a serious look. “ Remember, the most important thing for you now is to recuperate.”
Kendrick reached out to hold Niamh’s hand, then he put it to his lips dotingly and kissed it repeatedly. “Nia, no need to be so concerned for me. There’s nothing more important than you in my heart.”
Knock, knock, knock.
As soon as Kendrick finished speaking, someone knocked loudly at the door, and then Karen immediately pushed the door open and entered.
“Mom, what’s the matter?” Niamh got up and asked. Seeing how flustered Karen looked, she felt a little worried.
Karen pointed to the door. “That woman, the one who made a fuss and threatened to kill herself downstairs in the company, is at the door now. I also saw a few reporters behind her.”
After hearing this, Niamh and Kendrick knew what was going on.
If Hannah could get here, someone must have revealed the address of the old house to her, and this person was likely to be one of the reporters.
