Shirley looked at the handsome face in front of him, and suddenly, she felt that this man was abnormally foreign.
Was he still that cultured, refined, cold, and noble young man?
No, he had not been that since a very long time ago.
Presently, to him, his heart no longer had anything of beauty. There was only hatred.
Although Lillian was very young and could not speak, she was smart. She knew she could not leave now. She did not make a fuss, but she reached her little hand into her pocket to take out a card instead. She then handed the card to Shirley gently.
Shirley paused. She did not know what the card Lillian handed her was.
She slowly reached out to take the card from Lillian’s small hand.
Shirley brought it before her and looked, then realized that it was a card with Lillian’s personal information.
Lilian’s details, as well as her health condition, were written on it along with her current address.
With this, Shirley was certain that Lillian was mute and could not speak. As such, if Lillian were lost, she would hope that a kind person would be able to send her home.
However, this was useless in this current situation. Why would Carter send Lillian back?
Carter, who also noticed the card Lillian handed to Shirley, walked over and took the card from Shirley’s hand.
After taking a look, the corners of his lips lifted into a cold and disdainful smirk.
He simply tossed the card into the bin and turned around coldly.
Lillian furrowed her adorable eyebrows and turned to walk to the bin. After she picked up the card, she carefully put it back into her pocket.
Shirley, looking at the despondent-looking Lillian, felt a little sorry for her.
However, she could not do anything.
Would the current Carter listen to what she said? No.
Shirley moved the wheelchair and came to Lillian’s side.
“Is your name Lillian?”
Upon hearing that, Lillian lifted her little head to look into Shirley’s eyes and then nodded gently, indicating that it was indeed her name.
Shirley’s face lifted into a friendly and affable smile. “So, Lillian, you’ll stay here for the time being. If there’s an appropriate chance, I’ll take you home. ”
Lillian listened to Shirley, and she seemed to understand. She blinked her eyes and walked to the sofa at one side to sit down quietly.
Shirley looked at Lillian in pity, and she then moved her wheelchair to the room.
Carter was standing on the balcony and smoking. It was unclear when he had lit the cigarette.
The flickering cigarette butt carried an indescribable feeling of melancholy.
As Shirley approached Carter, she asked coldly, “ What are you going to do with the child?”
Carter stopped smoking and turned around to face Shirley with a dark face.
“Are you worried that I’ll kill her?”
“ She’s innocent. If you want to take action against someone, go find her parents.”
“Heh.” Carter laughed nonchalantly. He then took a long drag on the cigarette and let out white smoke from between his lips. “If I still had the power to take action against her parents, I wouldn’t have brought her here.”
“What are you planning to do, then?” “Nothing much.”
Carter lifted the corners of his lips nonchalantly. “ I’ve told you, as long as you listen to me, I won’t do anything to her for the time being.”
“What do you mean by you wanting me to listen to you?” Shirley asked in confusion.
Carter extinguished the cigarette and slowly walked up to Shirley. His deep and charming eyes bore straight into Shirley’s eyes.
“Stay with me until the end of the world. Be my person in this lifetime.”
Shirley was shocked at what Carter said. She moved her lips to speak, but in the end, she still did not know what to say.
She realized that Carter had changed, but at the same time, he did not.
However, at the present, she could not wrap her head around what he was thinking.
On the other side.
Fabian used all of the connections he could, but he still could not find where Lillian was.
His worry was so great that he was restless.
One had to remember that Lillian was not a normal healthy child.
Her leukemia was still in the recovery stage, so if the recovery did not go well, relapse would be very likely.
He had no idea who was the man in black who took Lillian from under his nose.
However, he knew that this man was an ordinary kidnapper because he came only for Lillian.
While Fabian was at a loss, a servant suddenly rushed in.
He thought that there was news from Lillian, but he was surprised to see Niamh walk in from the hallway.
“Eveline?” Fabian was surprised.
Did Niamh know that Lillian was kidnapped? No.
That was impossible.
Lillian only went missing a few hours ago, and at that time Niamh should have been on the plane, so it would have been impossible for her to have arrived so soon.
“It’s me.” Niamh stepped forward and walked up to Fabian. “I’m sorry for coming here uninvited and disturb you, Mr. Johnson. I came to see my daughter.”
Niamh explained her intentions directly.
She smiled slightly and then thanked him again.
“Thank you for going through the trouble of taking care of my daughter during this period, Mr. Johnson. I truly appreciate it. I know you are very prejudiced against me and my husband and you won’t let me take my daughter away, but you can at least let me see her, can’t you?”
Fabian understood what Niamh meant, but now, he could not let Niamh see Lillian.
Rather, he could not tell Niamh that Lillian had been kidnapped.
When Niamh saw that Fabian was silent, she felt a little suspicious.
“Are you going to deny this request, Mr. Johnson? She’s my biological daughter after all.”
“So what?”
Fabian parted his lips suddenly and asked Niamh in a cold tone.
“Eveline, leave now. You are not welcome here.” Fabian chased her away with an impatient look.
Niamh looked at Fabian’s cold expression. She had not expected to get into such a rigid relationship with Fabian.
Niamh furrowed her brows unconsciously. “ Fabian, I told you to come to me and Kendrick if you have any dissatisfaction. Lily is innocent.”
“Yes, she is. So, why are you so worried, Mrs. Waldburg? I won’t hurt the innocent.”
Fabian said leisurely and turned around to sit down on the sofa.
“Eveline, it’s useless even if you stayed here because Lillian isn’t here.”
“Lily isn’t here?” Niamh looked upstairs suspiciously.
Sensing Niamh’s doubt, Fabian said magnanimously, “If you don’t believe me, you can take a look upstairs. If you can find your daughter, you can take her away straightaway.”
Fabian sounded very confident.
Niamh expected that Lillian was truly not here, but she still went to look for her.
After searching the entire villa, however, she still did not find Lillian.
Regardless, during her search, Niamh saw the room that she had seen in her usual video calls.
That was the room Fabian arranged for Lillian.
The decorations and renovation looked warm. It was evident that someone had put their heart into decorating this room.
