When she had used Fabian’s phone to call Kendrick back, her tone was truly hurried. It had been mainly because she was afraid that Kendrick would ask too much, so she hung up the phone hastily.
“It’s because of this that you came to F Country overnight?” Niamh widened her beautiful eyes in surprise. This man was so attentive that she greatly admired him.
“Isn’t that enough?” Kendrick asked her back. “ Details determine the outcome, and it turned out that I didn’t guess wrong.”
Niamh looked at the man directly in front of him with admiration. “Then, how did you know that I would be in that hotel?”
“You’re such a dummy, Nia. Did you forget that your phone’s GPS location is bound to mine? So, of course, I knew where you’d be.”
It seemed that this was the case, but in fact, she had given her phone to Shirley; she had not expected Kendrick to succeed by a lucky stroke.
“After I got off the plane, I went to the hotel in the location immediately. When I was searching for the exact location, I saw you running in the corridor with Lily. Then, I saw Carter behind you. I wanted to stop him, but I didn’t want to scare Lily, so I could only use another method. Coincidentally, you went into the fire escape cooperatively.”
Kendrick answered all the questions in Niamh’s heart, but right now, he was the one confused.
“Why’s Carter in F Country? What did he do to you and Lily?”
When he talked about this, Niamh furrowed her charming eyebrows in annoyance.
“He came here to seek treatment for Shirley, but… ”
Niamh paused and then told Kendrick what she knew and what she saw without sparing any details. In the end, she emphasized.
“Carter still detests us, so he might still do something detrimental to us.”
Upon seeing the worry in Niamh’s eyes, Kendrick squeezed her hand and comforted her softly.
“No matter what, I will stay with you and Lily. As long as I’m here, I will never let Carter hurt you again.”
As she listened to Kendrick’s promises, Niamh’s heart was warm, but she started to worry even more.
“No, Kendrick, I think the most dangerous person is you. The person he wants to retaliate against the most is you because he still believes that you killed the child he had with Shirley.”
Kendrick knew that Niamh was worried about him and that he could not take it lightly.
“Nia, let’s go back to Glendale first. For the time being, Carter wants to accompany Shirley to have her illness treated here, so he won’t have the energy to spare to deal with me for a while.”
Kendrick raised his eyes to look at the little princess who was at one side.
“It’s also time for our family to reunite.” Niamh could hear that Kendrick wanted to take
Lillian home as soon as possible, so Niamh hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Kendrick, if Lily could get better care and treatment by staying in F Country with Fabian, would you be willing to let Lily stay here?”
When she said this, Niamh was very nervous. At the same time, she also saw the confusion and surprise in Kendrick’s eyes.
“Nia, what are you talking about?” Kendrick was troubled. “Why did you come to F Country alone to negotiate with Fabian? It was to bring our daughter home. So, why are you saying this now?”
“Kendrick.” Niamh grabbed Kendrick’s hand and calmed the man’s emotions. “I know you would find it strange, but do you know the reason why Lily’s body can heal so quickly?”
Kendrick frowned. “What is it?”
“It was Fabian who saved Lily with his hematopoietic stem cells, and it was Fabian’s friend Evan who personally performed this operation on Lily.”
After learning about this reason, Kendrick was silent for a while, but his brows were even more tightly furrowed. A while later, he spoke.
“I’ll personally thank him for saving our daughter, but I don’t think Lily will be better cared for by staying here than by staying with her biological parents.”
“Maybe she will.”
“What?” Kendrick looked at Niamh, feeling even more puzzled.
“We still have Jack and Pudding, so we really can’t take care of Lily wholeheartedly.” Niamh sighed softly. Of course, she wanted to take care of the little princess wholeheartedly, but there would always be times when she would neglect her.
Moreover, back then, Lillian was taken away by Fabian because of her negligence.
As she thought about this, Niamh blamed herself.
Kendrick instantly understood what Niamh wanted to express, but his attitude remained firm.
“But Nia, Lily will be home, where we’ll be. I can assure you that I’ll be by Lily’s side at all times to take care of her. Now that Lily’s physical condition is much more stable, I’ll ask the best experts and doctors in this field to pay attention to Lily’s physical indicators. We’ll definitely not make mistakes again.”
Niamh’s heart hurt, and the corners of her eyes became damp. “Kendrick…”
“Nia, Lily is an inseparable part of us. We are a complete home with Lily.”
Kendrick stared straight at Niamh and said solemnly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt Lillian pulling the corner of his shirt.
Kendrick lowered his gaze and saw the little princess looking at him with a pure smile as she blinked her big eyes.
Kendrick’s heart seemed to melt immediately. He sat Lillian onto his lap and then stroked her little head lovingly and tenderly.
“Lily, do you have something you want to tell me?” Lillian blinked her innocent eyes and handed Kendrick a piece of paper in her little hand.
Kendrick then took it in his hand and opened the note.
On it, there was a word written by Lillian. Although the word was not beautifully written, it was neat.
Kendrick clearly saw one word. “Fab.”
Niamh and Kendrick immediately understood what Lillian was trying to say. The child wanted to see Fabian.
“Kendrick.” Niamh looked at the man with a frown. “Why don’t we let Lily make the decision?”
“Let Lily make the decision?” Kendrick did not understand Niamh for a while, but gradually, he figured it out.
“Nia, do you want Lily to decide if she should go or stay?”
Niamh smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”
“Lily is still so young, what does she know?” Kendrick obviously did not agree.
“Even though Lily is still very young, she has feelings.” Niamh tried to convince Kendrick. “ Kendrick, you want to thank Fabian in person anyway, so we might as well take Lily to see Fabian before we go back. Do you think that’s okay?”
Kendrick thought for a few seconds before replying, “
I’ll do what you say.”
Niamh pursed her lips and smiled. “Then, I’ll call Fabian.”
As she said that, she habitually felt for her phone in her pocket and then she suddenly remembered that she gave Shirley her phone. As such, she naturally took Kendrick’s phone and called Fabian.
When Fabian learned that Niamh had rescued Lillian from Carter, he could not believe it.
However, after hearing Niamh say that she would take Lillian home, Fabian’s tone began to sound a little flustered.
He asked where Niamh was presently, and after learning about it, he said he would rush over.
After hanging up, Fabian sped all the way to the hotel near the airport.
Niamh and Kendrick also brought Lillian downstairs. They were waiting for Fabian in the coffee shop located downstairs of the hotel.
Fabian arrived in a hurry. As soon as he pushed the door open and entered the shop, he saw a very warm family of three.
Lillian sat between Kendrick and Niamh with a happy smile on her cute little face.
Fabian unconsciously stopped in his tracks, hesitating at the door.
At this moment, Lillian spotted him.
Those lively and beautiful, crystal-clear eyes sparkled in delight. She waved at Fabian before jumping down from the sofa.
Kendrick had not expected his precious daughter to decide to walk over to Fabian when she saw him.
Suddenly, he realized if he let Lillian choose, she would definitely choose to stay with Fabian.
Upon seeing saw Lillian running toward him, Fabian then came back to his senses.
At the sight of the gradually approaching cute little figure, the corners of Fabian’s lips also slowly turned into an arc of joy.
When Lillian ran up to him, Fabian knelt down and gently took Lillian’s little hand.
“Lily, it’s great that you’re fine.“ He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. The sight of that the little cutie being safe and sound finally eased the anxious feeling he had for the past few days.
However, when he remembered that Niamh and Kendrick would be taking Lillian home, his heart seemed to sink back into the bottom of the sea.
Lillian seemed to sense that Fabian’s worry for her the past few days, so she approached Fabian, raised her hands to hug Fabian gently, and then snuggled into Fabian’s arms very affectionately for a moment.
