Niamh’s heart was beating apprehensively. She looked at Kendrick and asked, “What did Carter say on the phone? What does he want?“
“He asked me to meet him tomorrow at the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang. He also asked me to bring Lily, “ Kendrick repeated what Carter had just said to Niamh.
“You can’t go, let alone take Lily.“ Fabian reminded him solemnly, “He must want to take action against you.“
“I know, it’s me he wants, “ Kendrick spoke unhurriedly. After that, he looked deeply into
Niamh’s eyes. “Nia, I ‘ve already thought about it…“
“Have you decided to go alone?“ Niamh interrupted Kendrick and said what he had yet to say.
Kendrick pursed his lips and smiled, then his eyes soften. “It seems that there needs to be a resolution between Carter and me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t stop.“
“You can’t go.“ Niamh stopped him with a worried look on her face. “Do you know what Carter’s mentality is now? He blames you for all the unpleasant things that happened to him all this while! “
Niamh emphasized, grabbing Kendrick’s hand. “The monarch throne of St. Piaf and the child Shirley aborted. He’ll vent all his dissatisfaction on you. Kendrick, you can’t meet him! “
Kendrick could feel Niamh’s nervousness and worry for him. Of course, he knew that, but…
“Nia, he injected Lily with some kind of drug. I have to go.“
“What? How dare he do such a thing to Lily! “ Fabian could no longer control his emotions. “Where is he now? I’ll go find him immediately! “
“Fabian, “ Kendrick said to stop him, his gentle eyes fell on the cutie in his arms. “Fabian, I don’t think you want anything bad to happen to Lily, do you?“ “Kendrick, what do you mean?“ Fabian frowned.
“Lily is very dependent on you.“ Kendrick’s eyes were very solemn. “Don’t you want to take care of Lily? Prove it to me now. Prove that you can take good care of my daughter so that I can leave my baby girl with you without worry.“
After hearing what Kendrick said, Fabian seemed stunned.
Before he could react, Kendrick walked up to him, bowed his head, and kissed Lily’s cheek.
“Lily, Mommy and I need to take care of some business. We’ll come to pick you up later. Stay here with Fab obediently and listen to everything he says, okay?“
Lillian understood that Niamh and Kendrick were leaving, so she furrowed her cute little brows in disappointment.
“Daddy. “ Her little cherry blossom mouth moved, and she called out to her father softly. At the same time, there was a tinge of loneliness in her eyes.
Concordant with Kendrick, Niamh smiled lovingly at Lillian.
“Lily, Daddy and I will come to take you home once we’re done with the business, so be a good girl and stay with Fab, okay?“
Being a very sensible child, Lillian did not show any unhappy emotions, and instead, she obediently nodded her head.
Very relieved, Kendrick took Niamh’s hand immediately.
“Nia, let’s go back to the hotel first.“
“Okay.“
Without asking any more questions, Niamh finally kissed Lillian and followed Kendrick.
“Kendrick won’t take the risk to meet that guy named Carter alone, will he? “ Evan asked, feeling a little bit curious and worried.
Fabian looked at the door thoughtfully and frowned. “I think I also have some responsibility in this.“
“Fab, what did you say?“ Confused, Evan looked at Fabian who said this.
Fabian did not speak, but instead, he looked down at Lillian in his arms.
“Lily, don’t worry. I won’t let your parents get into trouble,“ he solemnly promised to Lillian.
At the hotel.
It was already late at night.
In Niamh’s heart, she still felt perturbed. Additionally, she felt terribly anxious when she remembered that Kendrick had decided to see Carter tomorrow.
However, Kendrick promised her that he would think of a countermeasure tonight. When he came up with it, he would make plans for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, however, Niamh woke up and found that Kendrick was no longer by her side.
She called him but could not get through to him at all.
Niamh immediately contacted Fabian and asked him for the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Fabian, who was on the other end of the phone, told Niamh directly that he was now at the entrance to the coffee shop where they met up yesterday.
Niamh quickly got up to wash up. She then put on her coat hastily before hurrying over to the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel.
Fabian’s car was parked at the entrance. He got out of the car, opened the door for Niamh, and then stepped on the accelerator.
“Fabian, if you’re here, where’s Lily?“
“Evan will take care of Lily for me. Don’t worry, “
Fabian told her. He was staring at the road ahead with his eyes as sharp as swords. At the same time, he was constantly speeding up.
“Fabian, why don’t you go back? Tell me where the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang and I can find Kendrick by myself.“
“Do you think I will let you take the risk alone?“ Fabian asked back. After that, he guessed, “Judging by how anxious you are now, I’m guessing Kendrick has gone to Carter alone, didn’t he?“
After hearing this, Niamh nodded silently.
She clenched her fingers restlessly, her eyes filled with worry.
“Last night, he told me that he’d think of a countermeasure before going to meet Carter, but I woke up just now and found that he was no longer in the room. I can’t call him as well.“
As Niamh spoke, she felt her heart beating more frantically.
“I suspect that Kendrick has already met Carter and something bad may have happened.“
“Don’t think too much, I’ll take you there first. Maybe you can’t call him because the place he’s at has no signal.“
Fabian soothed and hoped that Niamh would stop overthinking.
Niamh certainly hoped that Kendrick was presently safe, but this uneasy heartbeat seemed to be telling her that Kendrick was not safe.
It took about ten minutes by car to reach the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
The sight of the big house in front of her triggered Niamh’s memory.
The last time she had been here was because Kendrick thought that Lillian had been taken away by Fabian’s brother, Yorick.
It was because of the incident back then Lana fell in love with Kendrick, which then caused a series of troubles to occur one after another.
Niamh got out of the car immediately and quickly ran to the gate.
The door was open, and it seemed that someone had entered this place not long ago.
Niamh entered the premises quickly. There was a smell of dust blowing over her face. It seemed that it had been a while since someone came here, and there had not been anyone who came to clean this place up.
“Kendrick, are you here? Kendrick.“ Niamh called out Kendrick’s name as she walked in, but no one responded to her the entire time.
She felt her heart beating more and more wildly; even her voice started to shake a little.
Carter would be prepared for this appointment, so Kendrick would definitely suffer if he came here like this.
After parking the car, Fabian was about to head in when he saw a figure suddenly coming out of the entrance.
It was none other than Carter!
When he recalled that Carter had caused Lillian’s skin to be covered with unknown rashes, Fabian suddenly gripped the steering wheel.
He started the car again, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in Carter’s direction.
Carter was already on alert when he heard the car’s engine.
He looked sideways at the speeding car. Just when he was about to dodge it, the car stopped in front of him.
Fabian had stepped on the brake.
Through the front windshield, Fabian raised his sharp eyebrows and glared at Carter, who looked slightly panicked.
Initially, he wanted to run over Carter just like this, but he thought of Lillian and also what Yorick said when he had still been alive.
He must act in accordance with the rules, be an upstanding person, and never do anything illegal.
Fabian took a deep breath. After recomposing himself and sorting out his emotions, he got out of the car.
When Carter saw that Fabian was getting out of the car, he chuckled arrogantly and disdainfully.
