“You did. Eveline, I’m guessing that there’s one thing you still don’t know, isn’t right?”
“What is it?”
“Actually, I didn’t want to be your friend after that, and I didn’t want to have any contact with Kendrick.” Fabian told her the truth.
This shocked Niamh.
It seemed that Fabian had rejected them at the beginning.
“But why did you still keep in contact with us after that?” Niamh asked.
Unhesitatingly, Fabian answered, “It’s because of one person.”
Niamh quickly remembered that pure and adorable face. “Because of Lily?”
Fabian smiled and nodded. “Lily is such a delightful child.”
Niamh smiled upon hearing that, but after that, she felt her heart aching.
“Unfortunately, my precious daughter always gets into some horrible situations.”
“But I still believe no matter what trouble she’d face, Lily could always find a way to safety. ” Fabian was very confident.
Niamh felt the same way, and she hoped so too.
“Perhaps, inexorably, you and Lily are connected by fate. Otherwise, what are the odds for your bone marrow matching Lily’s?”
Fabian did not deny it. In fact, he agreed. “I think so too.”
He smiled and something profound was glistening in his eyes.
He always believed that he and Lillian had some extraordinary fate.
At the present, they had some hindrance between them.
Niamh and Fabian sat down to enjoy their fragrant coffee. As they looked at the gentle morning light illuminating the bustling street, the tense emotions they had all this time finally relaxed at this moment.
Approximately half an hour later, Fabian received a call from Evan.
However, judging from Fabian’s frown, Niamh felt that this was not good news.
After a while, Fabian hung up.
Niamh asked hurriedly. “What is it? What did Evan say?”
Fabian looked at Niamh. He wanted to say something, but he paused for two seconds before speaking.
“Evan is coming right now. We’ll go into details when he’s here.”
When Fabian said this, Niamh knew this was not as simple as it seemed.
She and Fabian drank their coffees, but when the coffee entered their mouths, all they could taste was bitterness.
About half an hour later, Evan arrived hurriedly.
Although he had asked the staff to make him an iced Americano on this winter day, when he drank the cold and bitter coffee, he looked as if he was drinking plain water, drinking half of the glass in a moment.
“Evan, how did the discussion with your father go?” Niamh asked anxiously.
Evan shrugged helplessly. “My father’s schedule is too full, so he really can’t make time to treat Carter’s friend.”
Evan leaned against the sofa helplessly. “It’s not that he doesn’t want to help, but every patient on his schedule needs his help.”
He was right. They could not cut the queue in this kind of thing.
“If we don’t arrange something for Carter, something bad might happen to Lily. ” Lillian was always in Fabian’s heart. “But you should know that Lily’s in her recovery period. If something were to happen to her during this time, the damage could be so severe to her body that it will never recover.”
Upon hearing Fabian’s words, Niamh’s face changed, and her heartstrings tightened again.
She knew that it would not be easy for Lillian’s physical indicators to be restored to what it was now. If there were any more accidents and mistakes, as Lillian’s mother, she really could not bear it, and she also did not know how to give Lillian a better treatment.
However, this kind of thing could not be forced.
Both Fabian and Evan observed that Niamh’s expression had become tense.
Although she did not say anything, they all understood how flustered Niamh was as a mother at this moment.
“ I have a way to bluff Carter temporarily, ” Fabian said, after thinking for a while.
Niamh came back to her senses. “I think this is he only thing we can do now.”
“Do you know what I’m talking about?” Fabian looked at Niamh somewhat unexpectedly.
Niamh smiled. “I think I know. “
Evan was at a loss as he listened to this conversation. “What exactly are you talking about?”
“Evan.” Niamh looked at Evan with a sincere look. “This may put your father in an awkward position, but I have no other way. I hope you can convince your father to meet Carter.”
“Yes, Evan, please go back again. It’ll be fine as long as you persuade your father to discuss the treatment with Carter. You don’t necessarily have to arrange a time for the treatment soon,” Fabian chimed in as well, but he was not forcing Evan.
Evan understood what Niamh and Fabian meant. He thought about it for a while and agreed to it, then he stood up. “I’ll go back and discuss it with my father.”
“Thank you for going through the trouble, Evan,” Niamh thanked him sincerely.
Evan smiled and turned his head. “I’m also a doctor. Not to mention that Lily is also my patient, so I have my obligations and responsibilities.”
He left without looking back.
Niamh sighed silently, but at the same time, she also sighed ruefully in her heart.
Although there were always challenges and difficulties on the way onward, she would always meet good people who would overcome those challenges with her along the way.
Therefore, God still favored their family.
Not long after, Niamh and Fabian received a call from Evan. His father had agreed to meet with Carter to discuss treatment.
This was certainly good news.
With this bargaining chip, Fabian also contacted Carter immediately.
Very satisfied, Carter agreed on a meeting time, but he said that he would only allow Niamh and Fabian to meet Lillian after Carter had met with Evan’s father.
Since Lilian was in Carter’s hands, Niamh and Fabian had no right whatsoever to argue or refuse; they could only do what he wanted them to do.
Shirley did not know what kind of phone call Carter received just now. After Carter had answered the call, she could obviously feel that Carter’s mood improved a lot.
However, Shirley did not want to ask Carter what it was.
She brought the peeled apples to Lillian and showed her an amiable smile.
“Lily, have some apples. It’s good for your body.”
Lillian nodded obediently. She then held the fruit bowl obediently and started eating quietly at one side.
Shirley looked at Lillian, her eyes became gentler and kinder, but at the same time, it was also full of yearning.
“ If it weren’t for Kendrick, we’d have our own child soon.” Carter’s voice, brimming with bitterness, came from the side.
Shirley quickly returned to her senses. She looked at the adorable and cute Lillian, but the corner of her mouth lifted into a sardonic smile.
“Even if our child were born one day in the future, he would not want to see a father like you. You keep saying that you love me and act like you love this child, but in fact, you’ve always done things for yourself. You’re only here in F Country to seek revenge on Kendrick.
Shirley’s words caused Carter’s face to turn gloomy suddenly. “Shirley, do you really think that I came to F country for this trivial thing?”
“Aren’t you? Didn’t you abduct Lily to retaliate against her father?” Shirley said coldly without raising her head.
Carter knew Shirley would think of him this way, so he did not even bother explaining.
“You will soon know the true purpose of me bringing you to F Country.”
After Carter finished speaking solemnly, he lowered his eyes and turned his attention to Lillian who was eating an apple.
“The enemy’s daughter is eating apples so happily, while my child could only eat dust. Hmph! ” Carter sneered and suddenly, he reached out and pushed the fruit bowl in front of Lillian away.
With a clang, the fruit bowl fell on the plush carpet.
Lillian was obviously taken aback by Carter’s behavior.
She stared blankly at Carter, who was throwing a tantrum, with her big, pure, and clean eyes.
