Upon seeing this, Shirley immediately scolded Carter, “Carter, you are a grown man. There are many ways to vent any dissatisfaction in your heart and yet you lose your temper with such a small child.”
As she spoke, she suddenly showed a glad yet sarcastic smile.
“Fortunately, that child is gone. If that child were born, he’d be sad for having a father like you.”
When Carter heard this, his eyes sank instantly.
“ If our child had a chance to come into this world, I’d definitely spoil him so that he becomes the happiest child in the world. But who is this little thing? She’s not my daughter, so why should I be polite to her?”
“Aren’t other people’s children also children?” Shirley asked, the disappointment in her eyes intensifying. “How did you become like this? You’re so cold-blooded because of that so-called hatred in your heart.”
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Carter and then reached out her hand to Lillian.
“Lily, ignore him. We’ll go back to the room to sleep.”
Lillian obediently placed her hand into Shirley’s palm before turning around with her.
Annoyed, Carter took out the cigarette case from his coat pocket.
He rarely smoked, but since that thing happened in the Royal Palace of St. Piaf, he would want to smoke whenever he met some trouble.
It seemed as if this could make him temporarily forget all the troubles.
However, after the cigarette was completely burnt, the things upsetting him came to mind one after another.
The child whom he was not destined to meet. Shirley’s body.
Carter irritably put out the cigarette he had just lit, turned, and left the hotel.
That night, Niamh followed Fabian to his villa.
Fabian took Niamh to Lillian’s room and gave Niamh all the reports on Lillian’s physical condition these days.
Niamh sat by the bed, flipping through Lillian’s medical records over the past few months.
These data were neatly organized, and Niamh could clearly see that Lillian’s physical indicators were getting closer to normal day by day.
As Niamh read those records, she started to feel moisture in the corners of her eyes.
She was such a young child and yet she had suffered so much.
She was a delicate flower that grew up in the greenhouse. She had never known the sinister nature of society, but evil and dark forces had repeatedly poured into her clean and innocent world to hurt her young and innocent heart.
“Lily is indeed a very sensible and obedient girl,” Fabian exclaimed, a smile of joy overflowing on his handsome face.
“Even though she can’t speak, she always expresses her thoughts through actions. Sometimes when I’m upset, she’ll stay quietly by my side to accompany me.”
The more Fabian talked about that, the brighter the smile on his face. At the same time, there were also some looks of distress on his face.
“She should be innocent at this age. I don’ t want her to be so sensible.”
Niamh understood what Fabian meant. She felt the same way in her heart.
A child should be innocent and unaffected at their age, but Jack and Lily were already so sensible at such a young age.
Niamh sighed silently. Her heart was throbbing, and she felt a little pain.
“You should rest early. I’ll go back to my room first. I’ll take you to Evan’s house tomorrow morning. ”
“Yeah. ” Niamh nodded. She looked at Fabian’s back and she wanted to thank him again, but she felt that it would a little redundant.
After Fabian had left, Niamh made a video call to Kendrick.
Kendrick was surprised to learn that Niamh was presently at Fabian’s house.
“Did he agree to let you see Lily?” the man in the video asked in shock as he gently furrowed his bushy eyebrows.
Niamh smiled and nodded. “Not only did he agree to let me see Lily, but he’d also relieved the grudges between us.”
Upon hearing this, Kendrick was even more surprised.
“Nia, what happened? Why did Fabian suddenly change so much? And what about Lily? Why didn’t I see our baby girl?”
Upon hearing this, Niamh spaced out for a second. She quickly returned to her senses and expressed as naturally as she could, “Lily needs to stay in the hospital tonight for some observation because of her body. I’ll be going to the hospital again tomorrow morning.”
After hearing Niamh’s answer, Kendrick kept feeling that something was amiss, but he did not think much about it. After expressing how much he missed Niamh and telling her to be careful, he hung up the phone.
Niamh was inwardly relieved. She was worried that Kendrick would ask more about Lillian.
She was really bad at lying to him.
Niamh then took a short shower and lay down on Lillian’s usual bed.
Looking at the various plush dolls on the bed, Niamh could feel that Fabian was truly diligent in taking care of Lillian.
Maybe Niamh had been too narrow-minded; Lillian was no worse than with them compared to staying with Fabian.
The next day, Niamh woke up early.
When she went downstairs, Fabian was already up.
After eating the simple breakfast prepared by the servant, Fabian drove Niamh to Evan’s house.
However, as soon as he was on the road, Fabian received a call from Evan again and he said that the location had changed. According to Carter, the meeting place was changed to the cafe yesterday.
When Niamh and Fabian arrived, Evan and his father were already there, but Carter had not yet arrived.
When Niamh saw Evan’s father, at a glance, he looked like a very well-trained professional with an extraordinary presence.
After thanking him, Niamh sat down in the lounge on the second floor and waited for Carter.
However, it was now more than half an hour since the agreed time, and Carter still had not shown up.
Fabian lost his patience and immediately called Carter.
The phone went through, but no one answered.
“What the hell is Carter doing? He requested this place and time, but he still hasn’t appeared yet.
What trick is he trying to pull?”
As soon as Fabian had finished complaining, they heard a jingle from downstairs of the coffee shop.
It was the sound of wind chimes when the door opened.
The cafe was closed today, so Carter was the only one who would enter the store at this time.
Sure enough, they heard the waiter’s polite voice in the next second, “Mr. Gray, you are here. The boss and his friends are already waiting for you upstairs. What would you like to drink?”
Carter turned a deaf ear and, without even sparing a glance at the waiter out of the corner of his eye, walked toward the stairs on his own.
Carter seemed to frown in dissatisfaction when he saw that Niamh and Fabian were also there on the second floor.
“Why are you here too?”
Fabian stood up suddenly, his expression colder than Carter’s.
“Carter, Professor Laker whom you want to see is already here. We have done what you asked for, so I hope you can also fulfill your promise.”
“Heh. ” Carter sneered indifferently. After that, he walked past Niamh and Fabian as if he did not see them and walked straight to Evan’s father.
After confirming that he was the same person in the photo he had investigated, Carter had a rather satisfied smile on his face.
“Hello, Dr. Laker. I’m Carter Gray, and I want to talk to you about the physical condition of my friend in detail.”
Evan’s father nodded and smiled amicably. “Mr. Gray, please tell me. I will give you a reasonable treatment plan after understanding the condition in detail.”
Carter followed with a smile, but then, he scanned Niamh and the gang in displeasure.
“I just want to talk to Dr. Laker. If you want to see Lillian after this, you should leave us alone.”
“Carter, you…” Fabian was angry, but Niamh stopped him when he wanted to say something more.
“Let’s go out and wait,” Niamh said, lowering her eyes and looking at Carter with a cold and arrogant expression. “Even though he may have no integrity with us, I believe that he won’t fool around with his good friend’s condition.”
When Carter heard that, the sneer on his lips stiffened slightly. He raised his sharp narrow eyes to meet Niamh’s gaze. He clearly knew that Niamh was referring to Shirley.
Niamh looked into Carter’s eyes fearlessly before turning around coolly.
Fabian glared at Carter, then he followed Niamh downstairs angrily.
