“Too expensive?“ Fabian was obviously confused by this word, he then laughed. “The number one rich man in Glendale just told me that my gift is too expensive.“
Kendrick understood what Fabian meant, and he still had a soft smile on his face.
“My family background has nothing to do with whether the present is expensive or not. Fabian, I know how you feel about Lily, and so does Nia, but I don’t think this is suitable for Lily,“ Kendrick still rejected him.
Fabian nodded thoughtfully. “You should go, then.“
“I was going to leave, but I still want to formally thank you.“
Fabian quickly replied, “I have received it. Kendrick, you can go now.“
“Alright.“ Kendrick did not speak further. When he turned to leave, he turned his head again. “I also need to apologize to you. I had hidden what I knew about the Stygian Johnson Gang from you, so that can be regarded as taking advantage of your trust in me. Now I understand why you targeted me and Nia.“
The air was silent for a moment after he said that. After a long time, Fabian smiled.
“It’s over now.“ Fabian smiled in relief. “I’ve thought it through, and it’ll be meaningless to investigate the past. Besides, I should thank you and Eveline.“
“Thank me and Nia?“ Kendrick was confused this time. “Thank me and Nia for what?“
“Thank you for bringing Lily to this world. Lily really makes me feel worthy in the world, and she also gives me the motivation to live a good life.“
Upon hearing this, Kendrick was quite moved.
After being silent for a while, Kendrick said, “You can come to see Lily anytime and anywhere. The door to Waldburg Manor will always be open for you.“
“Thank you,“ Fabian thanked him and went upstairs without turning his head.
Kendrick did not stay long either. Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang.
When he heard this specific ringtone, Kendrick answered the phone without hesitation and walked to the door.
After the call was connected, Kendrick habitually wanted to call out Niamh’s name. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Niamh’s slightly anxious voice.
“Kendrick, are you on the way back? Many small pink spots suddenly appeared on Lily’s body. It looks like an allergic reaction, so I’m going to take Lily to the hospital.”
“Okey, I’ll be back soon, Nia. Don’t worry too much,” Kendrick said and walked forward hurriedly.
Fabian, who had just walked up the stairs, heard what Kendrick said, and in his heart, he felt that something was wrong. Without even thinking about it, he turned around and followed Kendrick.
In the hotel, Niamh was looking at the spots that looked like tiny red flowers on Lillian’s little hand as her heart became more and more worried.
She thought it was an allergic reaction, but Lillian did not feel pain or itchy.
If Lillian had some symptoms, Niamh could still tell what the cause was, but Lillian did not look sick at all.
Niamh could not wait, so she called Kendrick and told him to meet her at the hospital.
The winter night in F country was freezing. After Niamh put on some warm clothes on Lillian, she picked up the little cutie and got into a taxi.
After Niamh arrived at the hospital, she immediately brought Lillian for emergency treatment, but she was told that there was no dermatologist at this time.
Niamh could not do anything as well if there was no doctor.
She looked at the little cutie in her arms and asked uneasily, “Lily, are you really not feeling unwell? If you feel unwell, write it down on the paper and tell in Lillian blinked obediently and shook her head, indicating that she did not feel any discomfort.
However, Niamh saw that Lillian’s little hand had more pink spots than before.
It seemed that this was not a typical skin disease. Not long after, Kendrick also arrived.
Upon seeing the small pink spots on Lillian’s small hands and arms, Kendrick furrowed his brows.
“Is it because of leukemia? “ Kendrick guessed, but he did not have an accurate answer.
Niamh also furrowed her charming eyebrows. “ There won’t be many dermatology clinics opened in hospitals at night, Kendrick. What do you think we should do now?“
“Go find Lily’s attending doctor.“
“You mean Evan? “ Presently, Niamh had a feeling that only Evan could help them solve their problems.
“Let’s go back to the hotel first. I left Evan’s business card in the hotel, so I have to go back first.“
“That wou1dn’t be necessary.“ Fabian’s voice suddenly came from one side.
Niamh and Kendrick turned their heads in surprise and saw Fabian walking towards them with a worried expression.
As soon as Lillian saw Fabian, she squirmed her little body slightly, obviously wanting Niamh to put her down.
Niamh understood what she meant and gently put Lillian on the ground.
Once Lillian got on the ground, she ran towards Fabian without hesitation.
Fabian squatted quickly and smiled warmly to greet Lillian who was running fast toward him.
“Lily.“ Fabian’s eyes showed distress and reluctance.
Upon seeing the pink spots on Lillian’s skin, he picked her up anxiously.
“I’ll take you to Evan. If Lily’s spots aren’t related to leukemia, Evan can also contact a dermatologist to help with checking Lil’s condition.“
Fabian spoke and led the way.
Niamh and Kendrick followed closely and then got into Fabian’s car and went to the apartment building where Evan currently lived by himself.
At this moment, Evan was about to go to the bar to have fun with his friends. When he learned of Lillian’s situation, he immediately checked Lillian’s physical condition carefully.
“I’ve treated many children, so I could be considered somewhat qualified in this regard. I can ascertain that the red spots on Lily’s body have nothing to do with leukemia, “ Evan concluded and comforted. “ You don’t have to worry too much. I ‘ll contact my colleague now and ask her to have a look at Lily. It should just be a normal skin disease.“
When Evan finished speaking, he picked up his phone and contacted his dermatologist colleague.
Just when they were about to go out, Kendrick’s phone rang—it was from Carter.
Niamh stopped and looked back, vaguely feeling something was amiss.
Kendrick put him on speaker. Soon, everyone in the room could hear Carter’s cold and provocative voice.
“Kendrick, I know you have also come to F Country. We are like enemies on a narrow road.”
Carter said and laughed. After that, he continued.
“Are you happy to see your daughter whom you haven’t seen for a long time? But are you sure you can take your beloved woman and baby girl home like this now?
“Carter, what do you want to say? Stop beating around the bush and just spit it out, ” Kendrick urged impatiently.
Carter sneered again. “You should be very upset and troubled by the red spots on your daughter’s skin, aren’t you?”
Upon hearing what Carter said, Kendrick’s sharp brows suddenly raised.
He looked at the cutie in Fabian’s arms at the moment.
When they saw Kendrick’s gaze and action, Niamh and Fabian simultaneously felt that something must be wrong.
Amidst their puzzlement, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to hang up.
Niamh walked to Kendrick’s side. “Kendrick, who was that? Did something happen?“
Kendrick lowered his eyes and caught sight of the worry in Niamh’s eyes. At that moment, he hesitated whether he should tell her or not.
Niamh also noticed Kendrick’s peculiar behavior, so she asked, “Kendrick, what’s the matter?“
Kendrick did not want Niamh to worry too much, but he figured this was how so many misunderstandings between them were caused in the past, so this time, he no longer chose to hide it.
“The pink spots on Lily’s body aren’t from skin diseases. They’re manmade, “ Kendrick explained to Niamh in a calm tone, but his brows were twisted into a knot.
“What?“ “Manmade?“
Niamh and Fabian were shocked at the same time. Evan then walked over from one side, looking confused.
“The spots are manmade? Who is so vicious to take action on a child?“
Upon hearing this, Niamh’s thoughts seemed to become clear all at once.
“It’s Carter, isn’t it?“ She met Kendrick’s eyes. “Carter was the one who called just now.“
Kendrick nodded. As expected, he could not hide anything from Niamh.
“That bastard! “
Fabian instantly flew into a rage, and his face suddenly turned terrifyingly dark.
However, since he still held Lillian in his arms, he could only suppress the emotions that were on the verge of exploding.
