The driver nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel when he heard what Carter said.This did not sound like a conversation between lovers at all.He subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror to look at Carter, who had a cold and arrogant expression.He briefly felt Carter's gaze on him, so the driver quickly shifted his gaze away. He then heard Madeline's calm and composed voice.“What’s your goal? You can be straight to the point. You don't need to threaten me with my daughter again and again.”“Heh.” Carter chuckled coldly at Madeline's calm appearance. “Eveline, while you seem to be very indifferent, I know how anxious you truly are.”Madeline clenched her fists that were hidden in her sleeves slightly.She could not deny that Carter now fully grasped the worries in her heart.Carter caught sight of the melancholy flashing across Madeline's eyes, and a deeper smile appeared on Carter's lips.“Eveline, I told you I won't let my child die in vain. If you don't want your

Shirley quickly came back to her senses. She inexplicably felt a sense of anxiety creeping into her heart when she saw Carter staring gloomily at the embracing Madeline and Lillian.“Eveline, why are you in F Country?” Shirley spoke deliberately, breaking the creepy atmosphere she was feeling.Madeline slightly loosened her arms around Lillian and looked at Shirley who was in the wheelchair.She had something to say to Shirley, but she decided to calm Lillian down first, then she slowly stood up while holding Lillian's hand, looked at Carter, and spoke calmly.“Carter, give me some time. I will not take Lily away by force. I also know that you will give me this opportunity, so don't worry, I won’t risk my daughter's safety.”Carter seemed dissatisfied, but he glanced at Shirley as if he had compromised.However, without speaking, Carter merely turned around silently, stepped out of the door, and closed the door.Madeline knew that Carter would be guarding the door, so it would b

Carter warned her, and Madeline warned him in turn.Having said this, Madeline did not forget to put on her gentle and affectionate smile before turning around to smile at the little princess who had been looking at her.“Bye-bye, Lily.”Lillian raised her tender little hand and waved at Madeline.“Mommy.”She called out to Madeline again, her voice tender and crisp.Madeline felt satisfied but distressed. She had a lot of reluctance in her heart, but now she had to leave.Carter closed the door as soon as Madeline left, but he did not move away. Shirley looked at Carter as he walked toward her, and she felt a little nervous.She was worried that Carter had heard whatever noise that was made when Madeline was handing her the phone.Nevertheless, at this moment, what touched Shirley more was Carter's real purpose for bringing her to F Country.Carter did not notice the anomaly in Shirley's mannerism. He asked straightforwardly, “What did you say to Eveline?”Shirley came ba

Fabian met Madeline’s inquisitive eyes. “Eveline, do you still trust me?”Madeline paused after hearing the words. “Are you saying you don’t want me to take Lily away from here?”Fabian did not nod, but that was what he meant.“Eveline, to tell you the truth, I’m reluctant to let Lily go back with you.”“...”Upon hearing this, Madeline could not help but keep quiet.For a while, she did not even know how to refute it.However, that was her daughter.“I know that you, Jeremy, and your family are all concerned and worried about Lily, but if Lily goes back with you, I think I’ll never have the chance to see her again.”“What do you mean you’ll never see her again? As long as you want to see her, you can come to see her freely. Do you think Jeremy and I will stop you?” Madeline felt this strange.“No, I won't go back to Glendale anymore,” Fabian said with a soft sigh before looking out the car window. “I’ll never go to the city where I lost two of my dearest family members again

Madeline's heart pounded. If Carter saw her, she and Lillian would not only be unable to leave but also face even more difficult troubles.She raised her hand to cover Lillian's little head. “Lily, get closer to me and don't look up. Be a good girl.”She whispered and immediately turned around while holding Lillian.Madeline heard the elevator doors opening completely, and Carter's footsteps came not far behind her.Worried that Carter would recognize her back, Madeline did not dare to walk too fast. She was afraid that this would attract Carter's attention, so she had to keep walking at a normal speed.Lillian very obediently buried her little head between Madeline's neck and remained motionless the whole time.Although she was still young, she seemed to feel that her mother was worried about something, so she hugged Madeline even harder.Madeline, who also felt Lillian's movements, bowed her head and softly comforted the cute little girl.“Don't be afraid of Lily, I’m here.”
