Madeline said and threw the chair into the water. Jeremy stood up strenuously and brought the chair to the edge of the pool near Madeline and stepped on it.Madeline reached out and grabbed Jeremy's hand tightly.โJeremy!โโLinnie, my legs are a bit weak. Why don't you go out and call someone first?โโIโd like to go out and call for someone, but there isnโt anyone around. Iโm afraid that if I went too far, something bad would happen to you. I can't leave here. I can't let you disappear from my sight!โMadeline emphasized, holding Jeremy's hand harder.โJeremy, Iโll pull you up, Iโll definitely be able to!โโLinnie.โLooking at Madeline trying so hard and so determined, Jeremy was also determined not to let himself fall at this critical moment.However, his legs were too weak and numb. Worried that he would pull Madeline down if he exerted too much force, Jeremy decided to let go.Madeline could see what Jeremy was trying to do, so she abruptly knelt down and stretched out her
Upon hearing Madeline's answer, Fabian felt like he was dreaming.How was that possible?Jeremy and Madeline were not opposed to it?Upon seeing the dazed Fabian, disbelief on his face, Shirley, as a bystander, also spoke up.โActually, even an outsider like me can see clearly that you really care about Lily, Mr. Johnson. With you taking care of her, I think any parent would be at ease.โUpon hearing Shirley's words, Fabian felt a little embarrassed.โYou should continue chatting, I'll head back to the room first. I have to work out an antidote as soon as possible so that the rashes on Lily's body disappear soon.โShirley said and turned the wheelchair.Madeline glanced at Jeremy before following Shirley, โI'll take you back to the room.โShirley wanted to refuse, but she figured that maybe Madeline had something to tell her, so she did not refuse.After returning to the room, Shirley went straight to the desk.Madeline saw the data that Shirley had studied in the past few d
โRyan was still the highest administrative commander in Interpol at the time. So, Ryan used his position to help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money, and he profited from it. Carter had always known about this, and he was also involved.โRyan was actually a very smart and excellent person. Carter was also very happy to work with him, and the cooperation had always been very pleasant, but then, Ryan slowly began to act differently, and the reason was you.โShirley raised her head as she said that. Her eyes locked on Madeline tightly.Madeline frowned in confusion. โBecause of me?โโYes, because Ryan fell in love with you.โShirley explained and sighed.โIt's really hard for a person whoโs blinded by love to think rationally. Speaking of which, Ryan and I are really similar. In the end, we both embarked on the path of self-destruction.โShirley chuckled and sighed, but she quickly emphasized again.โRyan's death has nothing to do with you. I think Carter figured that Ryan's pr
Madeline and Jeremy followed Fabian to the door of Lillian's room. Before they walked in, the couple heard Fabian's gentle and coaxing voice coming from the room.โWhat's wrong, Lily? You canโt sleep?โFabian asked very gently, and Madeline and Jeremy saw their baby princess nodding slightly.Fabian was very patient, and he took a storybook from the shelf on the side. โWell then, Lily, be a good girl and close your eyes. I will tell you a story.โLillian liked Fabianโs suggestion.The little girl obediently nodded her head and closed her eyes.Fabian then sat down on the side of the bed and softly read from the storybook and patientlyโฆAs they watched this scene, Madeline and Jeremy felt warmth in their hearts.They did not continue to peek, and the two turned back to the guest room.After returning to the bedroom, Madeline lay down on the bed tiredly. She had been exhausted for the past few days, but now, she was finally relieved.The entanglement with Carter could finally c
โYou probably have something to say to me, right?โ Fabian asked directly.Jeremy smiled faintly. โLetโs talk downstairs.โAs he spoke, he turned around and Fabian followed him afterward.It was already very late, so Fabian asked the servant to make black tea and some snacks, leaving him and Jeremy in the living room.Fabian knew that Jeremy had something to say to him, but Jeremy had been drinking tea at the moment, and he did not seem to want to speak. Eventually, Fabian could not stand it anymore.โJeremy, you don't actually want Lily to stay with me, right?โJeremy took a sip of the black tea leisurely and then put down the teacup unhurriedly. His sharp but gentle gaze fell on Fabian's face lightly.โAre you saying that you can't take care of Lily well?โ Jeremy asked rhetorically.Fabian was taken aback. He hurriedly explained, โJeremy, you know I didn't mean that.โโWhat are you trying to say then?โโIโฆโ Fabian was stunned.โFabian, I have a question. How did you and Car
Fabian seemed to suddenly become very impulsive because he was trying to show Jeremy his determination and stance.Jeremy could see Fabian's fervent anticipation, but he had not expected Fabian to use his past with Madeline as an example.In retrospect, he and Madeline had only met once back then, but they never forgot each other.HoweverโฆJeremy looked at Fabian thoughtfully, โBut Lily is still an ignorant kid, and you are not.โโSo, now, I will only take care of Lily with peace of mind. As long as she doesn't hate me, I will always be by her side.โFabian made a solemn promise, and the look in his eyes was firm.โJeremy, I, like you, also hope that Lily will grow up happily and healthily. So, I will not go beyond what I should do, let alone cause any trouble to Lily.โAfter listening to Fabian's sincere words, Jeremy smiled knowingly.โLily still doesn't understand anything. Since she doesn't understand anything, her feelings are the most intuitive. She can feel it if you tr
Karen criticized Madeline and Jeremy.โThis is the result of you two going abroad for so long.โAs they listened to Karen's complaint, Madeline raised her eyes and smiled at Jeremy.They did not say what had happened in F Country so they would not worry their family again. Finally, Madeline smiled and explained kindly.โMom, don't worry, Lily is fine now, and I can guarantee that that person will take care of Lily more carefully than any of us.โKaren glanced at Madeline suspiciously and complained, โI don't know if youโre lying to me or not.โโOf course, weโre not lying,โ Jeremy promised and then took Madeline's hand. โMom, Linnie and I are a bit tired after running around for the past few days, so weโll head back to the room to rest.โโGo ahead,โ Karen said, seemingly impatient as she dismissed them, and then she remembered something. โBy the way, I received a courier two days ago and itโs for you, Jeremy.โKaren said, turned around, and went to take it for Jeremy.Jeremy to
It was a document, so Jeremy thought it was from his company or something, but after opening it, he found that it was not a document, nor was it anything of the sort.There was an envelope inside. Jeremy looked at it suspiciously for a while before opening the envelope.However, when he opened it, his eyes sank when he saw the contents inside.There was nothing in it except for a photo of Madeline. In this photo, Madeline was standing downstairs in Whitman Corporation. She seemed to be waiting for someone with a slight smile on her face.This was a very normal photo, but Jeremy felt uncomfortable looking at it.It was because there was a big cross on Madelineโs face in the photo.To avoid letting Madeline find out, Jeremy quickly put the photo away and pretended to walk aside to make a call as if nothing happened.He called Ken, and after the call had connected, he told Ken the tracking number of the courier and asked Ken to check the source of it.After Jeremy was done giving
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.โStop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?โโWho said I'm going to make trouble? Iโm going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?โHer husband was startled. โYouโre agreeing to this?โGina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Danielโs parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. โAva, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.โโBut Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents wonโt be happy about it for the rest of their lives,โ Ava said with a helpless sigh. โI really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.โโBut AvaโฆโโMaddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as theyโre safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?โThere was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.โAva, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?โโI've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.โHmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,โ Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. โStop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isnโt a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didnโt have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?โGina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. โDidn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?โโStop talking.โ Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.โHe just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?โHe even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?โOld Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?โI canโt let this happen.โAfter Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.โDan, have you decided to just give up?โAre we
โI'll be right back!โGina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.โDonโt follow me! Youโre not welcomed at our house.โDespite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. โWhat? Danโs gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?โโLook at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.โWhatโs going on? Whereโs Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?โ Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, โI want to know as well.โโHow could you not know? You came before me.โโDan wasn't in the ward when I came,โ Ava said and turned around. โI'll go to the nurse's station and ask.โโWait.โGina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.โAva, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.โLily.โ Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. โLily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope youโll be able to speak soon.โLillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.โMiss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.โJulie smiled and shook her head. โYou stopped owing me an
โI did,โ Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, โI wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didnโt expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.โFabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.โBut Miss Charles, rest assured, thereโll be no such trouble in the future.โJulie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.โMiss Charles, Iโve found a more suitable school for Lily, and itโs closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.โJulie, how could you fall in love with a single father?โJulie frowned. โYes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.โโWhat?โโTsk tskโฆ Julie, do you really like this single father?โ The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. โSomeone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.โโWhat? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?โ Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
