Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2051
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. I f you don't want your child to meet with any more danger, then you or Jeremy must pay a small price.”
After listening to Carter's words, Madeline raised her eyes to meet his profound gaze. “What do you want?”
Carter lifted his arrogant eyes lightly. “The perfect life I planned has been destroyed by you, and my child with Shirley is also gone now. Adam and Cathy's deaths also made it impossible for Shirley and me to be as we were back then, to start again... ”
As he said that, he suddenly sighed deeply.
“My life seems to have completely fallen from the top to the bottom of the abyss. So, Eveline, how do you think I should retaliate against you and Jeremy?”
Carter asked with a deep smile, his eyes gleaming with hatred.
Madeline knew that Carter would not listen to her even if she tried to reason with him or tell him the facts. Moreover, he would also never admit that all of this happened because of him, so she simply did not speak further.
The driver could feel the terrifyingly weird and heavy atmosphere in the car, so he quietly picked up speed and reached the destination a short while later.
Madeline followed behind Carter into the hotel, then they took the elevator to one of the suites.
“Wait at the door.”
Carter took the room card and ordered Madeline to stop.
Madeline did not argue with Carter either, so she stopped and stood at the door.
Carter was very satisfied when he saw how well cooperative Madeline was.
He swiped his card decisively and entered the room. After that, he closed the door behind him tightly.
Madeline waited at the door and made sure to be extra vigilant. Along the way, she had noted down the address and the door plate of the hotel.
As Madeline waited, she received another message from Jeremy.
Worried about Lillian's condition, Jeremy asked Madeline to quickly reply to him once they were done.
Madeline wanted to hear Jeremy's voice, but at the present, she did not have a choice.
After entering the room, Carter saw that Shirley was sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view with Lillian.
He seemed to frown out of dissatisfaction. Before Shirley could react, he picked Lillian up.
“Carter, what are you doing? Where are you taking Lily?”
Shirley immediately moved her wheelchair to chase after them.
“Carter, don't hurt the child. She's innocent! ”
Upon hearing that, Carter stopped abruptly in his tracks and Shirley quickly stopped her wheelchair.
Carter turned around and his eyes met Shirley's anxious gaze.
“ I guess I've already become a cold-blooded and heartless demon in your heart too, haven't I?”
Shirley was at a loss, but after that, she continued to talk Carter out of this.
“I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in your heart. You can seek revenge on Jeremy, but don't take action against such a young child.”
“Even if I wanted to, you can't stop me.”
After saying that, Carter carried Lillian out of the door.
Shirley's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed behind them.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2052
“Carter, Carter! Carter, don't, don't hurt Lillian!” Click.
Carter opened the door at the same time Shirley said that.
Madeline, who had been waiting intently at the door, suddenly heard these words coming from the room, and her heart also skipped a beat.
“Lily! ”
Madeline ran to the entrance quickly, and at this moment, she saw Lillian who was held in Carter's arms.
Mommy.
As soon as Lillian saw Madeline, she reflexively called out that word.
Shirley was surprised when she heard that, and at the same time, she saw the sudden appearance of Madeline.
“Eveline?”
Shirley was extremely surprised, but she felt also a hint of pleasant surprise.
She was surprised by Madeline's appearance and pleasantly surprised to hear Lillian calling out to her mother.
It turned out that Lillian's voice was so sweet and crisp.
Additionally, when she heard Lillian calling out to her mother, it also made her inexplicably envious.
When Lillian saw Madeline, her small body leaned hard toward Madeline.
“Lily.” Having not seen her baby girl for several months, Madeline was also very excited.
However, Carter stopped Madeline immediately. “ Stop.”
“Carter?”
“I'll just let you take a look. You only wanted to know whether your daughter is safe or not, didn't you?”
Madeline furrowed her charming eyebrows. “ Carter, I'm already here. You won't die if you let me spend some time with my daughter.”
Shirley understood what Madeline meant, so she sided with her. “Let Eveline come in. I'll help you keep an eye on them.”
“You'll help me keep an eye on them?” Carter was amused. “ If I allowed that, you might be gone with them.”
“…” Shirley was speechless.
“Alright, since this is your request, I'll agree with it.” Carter finally gave in.
After that, he placed Lillian down.
Madeline's face immediately showed a look of delight. “Lily! ”
She called out to the little princess' name and walked toward Lily to pull her into her arms.
“Lily.”
“Mommy,” Lillian called out to Madeline obediently, her frail little body tightly nestled in Madeline's arms.
She wanted to say, 'Mommy, I missed you.'
However, even if her little mouth was moving, she still could not make a sound. Merely the word “ Mommy” spilled from her lips.
Madeline felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she caressed Lillian's little head.
She realized that Lillian's hair had grown, but this further ached Madeline's heart. “Lily, I missed you.”
Lillian lifted her fair and tender small hands to touch Madeline's cheeks, then planted a kiss on Madeline's cheek with her small lips.
Mommy.
“Lily.”
Madeline enjoyed the warmth in her arms, and tears started to fall from her eyes unconsciously.
Shirley, too, felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she watched this scene. She wanted to give Madeline and Lillian some time alone, but Carter suddenly walked over to slam the door shut.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2053
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 be impossible to leave, but at least the air around her was not so rigid and depressing at the moment.
“Lily, I need to talk to this nice lady, so please be a good girl,” Madeline bent over and said softly to Lillian.
Lillian blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently.
Madeline smiled happily. She then stood up straight and faced Shirley.
“ I believe you must be the reason why Lily is well taken care of. Thank you, ” Madeline thanked Shirley from the bottom of her heart.
Shirley had not expected to hear these two words again. Although she felt touched, she laughed at herself.
“Don't thank me, I'm just making up for the mistake I've made. I just want to be a normal person in my limited remaining days, and I want to be a good person in some people's eyes.”
Madeline understood what Shirley was saying. “ I think you've already done it. Also, even though Carter has a deep hatred and is very opinionated towards us, he probably is sincere toward you. You should not worry too much about your body. A treatment plan will be forthcoming soon.”
Upon hearing this, Shirley looked at Madeline in confusion. “Why do you say that?”
Madeline smiled slightly and told Shirley what had happened not long ago.
“ I think Carter brought you to Country F to treat you. I guess he's hoping that you can return to the way you were before.”
Shirley was frozen in shock when she heard that.
She thought about what she had asked him during her argument with him in the past few days.
She had believed that he brought her to F Country to abduct Jeremy and Madeline's daughter for revenge, but it turned out that this was not Carter's main purpose?
Now that she had remembered, he did ask her back then, “Shirley, do you really think I came to F country for this little thing?”
It seemed that he came here for her. Impossible.
Shirley could not believe that Carter was risking himself to come to F Country for her.
Carter obviously loved himself the most.
When Madeline saw Shirley spacing out, she continued, “But you might have to wait for a bit. That doctor's schedule is full for now.”
“ It's fine. ” Shirley's eyes were red. She said with a grin, “I am a doctor too, so I know my condition. I will never stand again, and as for the scar on my face, I know I can fix it, but I don't think it's necessary now.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2054
Shirley's words revealed an indifferent attitude.
She seemed to have no expectations for the future.
“Addy died, and Cathy also died because she was implicated. I can't escape from my guilt. Plus, I look like this now. If I couldn't atone for my sins even while alive, it's better to let the sickness slowly torment me to death. I'll just think of it as a relief. ”
Madeline wanted to comfort the pessimistic Shirley, but suddenly she heard Lillian cough.
Madeline knelt in front of Lillian nervously. “Lily, are you feeling unwell?”
Lillian blinked her pure, crystal-clear, big eyes, shook her head slightly, and said one word, “ Daddy.”
“Do you miss Daddy, Lily?” Madeline asked with a gentle smile.
Lillian nodded seriously and opened her mouth slightly. “Mommy, Daddy.”
“Lily, you should stay with her, and behave. I'll come to pick you up in a few days. Then, you'll be able to see your father, brother, and younger brother.”
Madeline soothed her softly. It was hard to tell such a small child that she could not actually bring her away.
However, Lillian was really sensible. Although she did not know what the situation was, she was very obedient. Madeline asked her to stay with Shirley, so she would stay with Shirley.
When she saw Lilian, nodding obediently. Madeline felt more distressed and hugged the little princess.
“Lily, I promise I will come and take you home. You have to wait for me obediently, ” Madeline promised Lillian repeatedly. She was extremely reluctant to let go, but for Lillian's safety, she truly could not act rashly.
“Don't worry, I will protect your daughter, ” Shirley assured Madeline. “I think Carter hasn't completely lost his humanity. He won't really take action on such a young child. The person he wants to take action against the most should still be Jeremy.”
Even so, Madeline was still a little worried.
“I know you'll do everything you can to ensure Lily's safety, but Carter said he will make Jeremy experience the same pain of losing a child. ” This was what worried Madeline the most.
“Shirley, I hope you can tell me immediately if Carter acts strangely.”
Shirley sighed helplessly. “I wish I could contact you too, but Carter has gotten rid of all methods by which I can contact outsiders.”
When Madeline heard this, she did not even think for two seconds before she took out her phone to hand it to Shirley.
“If there's something amiss, you can use this phone to contact Jeremy.”
Shirley was slightly stunned, and she heard the sudden sound of the door opening, so she quickly reached out her hand and grabbed the phone in Madeline's hand to put it in her pocket.
At the same time, Carter pushed the door open and entered the room.
“Eveline, you should go,” he said, chasing Madeline away with a dark face.
Madeline caressed Lillian's small face reluctantly; Madeline still maintained a gentle and benevolent smile on her face. “Lily, I'll be leaving now. You have to be a good girl and listen to Miss Shirley. ”
Lillian blinked and nodded.
Madeline smiled knowingly. She then turned her head to look into Shirley's eyes before turning around. At the same time, her gaze became sharper and cooler.
“Eveline, I shall remind you not to try to ask Fabian and his gang to save them. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences.”
“You don't have to threaten me.” Madeline lifted her sharp and cold eyes to look at him. “Carter, I shall also remind you not to hurt my daughter in any way. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it as well. ”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2055
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 back to her senses suddenly and looked at the man with a stifling gaze.
“What can I say to Eveline? She just wants to spend more time with her daughter.”
“Really?” Carter obviously did not believe it. “ Aren't you good friends who worked together to take action against me? I think you would've discussed how to deal with me just now, didn't you?”
Carter's tone seemed to be joking, but Shirley knew that he was actually serious. Moreover, his guess was not wrong.
She and Madeline had discussed something just now, but Carter appeared before they could speak any further.
“I really didn't expect you and Eveline to have something to talk about. Not only that, but you two also joined forces to push me from a high position to the bottom of the abyss.”
Carter said sarcastically before looking at Lillian who was standing aside with a chuckle.
“Are you happy to see your mother? Do you want to see your father too?”
Lillian blinked. She seemed indifferent to Carter's words.
Despite being such a young child, she seemed to know that Carter was being unkind.
“Why? You don't want to see your daddy?” Carter coaxed softly. “You haven't seen your daddy for a long time, have you? If you're good, I can take you to see your daddy.”
Lillian looked at the soft-spoken Carter, but she turned her smiling face away calmly and then walked up to Shirley and pointed at the bedroom.
Shirley quickly understood and smiled. “Lily, come with me to the room to rest.”
Lillian smiled sweetly and followed Shirley into the room.
After entering the room, Shirley sat by the French window and her thoughts wandered.
After some time, Shirley felt a warm little hand gently holding her hand.
She looked down and saw that Lillian holding a small paper sailboat and that she was thrusting it into Shirley's hand, lightly tapping the palm of Shirley's hand.
Shirley did not quite understand what Lillian meant, but she could feel that Lillian wanted to comfort her and hope she could be happy.
“Lily, what do you want to say to me?” Lillian then handed her a small note.
Shirley took it and saw that four neat words were written on it. “Miss Shirley, be happy.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2056
She never thought that there would be a day when she would feel warmed by a child.
Tears pricked Shirley's eyes, as she held Lillian's hand.
“Thank you, Lily. I will be happy, and you must be happy too. I believe that you will be reunited with your parents soon.”
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and then immediately took out the phone from her pocket.
Shirley wanted to mute the phone, but then she realized that Madeline had already muted the phone when she handed it to her. Her worry just now was unnecessary.
Since she did not have a charger, she put it on low power mode to prevent the battery from running out when she needed it.
However, when she saw the family portrait on the lock screen, envy started to pour out from Shirley's eyes against her volition.
What a happy picture of a family of five.
had sent back and forth.
He truly cared about her and the child.
However, Madeline had given Shirley her phone, so at the present, she could only use Fabian's phone.
The call quickly connected, and Jeremy's tone was full of concern and eagerness.
“Linnie, is there something wrong with Lily's physical condition? Why do you keep ignoring my calls and calling me back with Fabian's phone?”
“I left my phone at where I stayed last night. I'll look for it later.” Madeline had to make up an excuse. “Jeremy, sorry for making you worry.”
After listening to Madeline's explanation, Jeremy did not think much about it and felt relieved instead.
“It's fine, Linnie. What about Lily? How is she? Will Fabian let you bring Lily back?”
“He will,” Madeline said confidently and glanced at Fabian. “Jeremy, just wait for me for a few days, and I'll definitely take Lily home. There's an incoming call, I have to return the phone to Fabian now. We'll talk later.”
Before Jeremy could ask anything, Madeline hung up the phone with a guilty conscience.
Tired, Madeline returned the phone to Fabian and leaned back onto the seat. Even the sight of the quick-moving scenery outside the window did not lift her spirits.
“Did you come to F Country to negotiate with me about bringing Lily home?” Fabian asked as he looked at Madeline who had a cold expression on her face.
Madeline curled her lips. “How would a child's parents not worry about and miss their child? But now I realized that Lily has gotten better care while she's with you.”
“If you really think that way, then I insist on keeping Lily with me so that I can care for her, Eveline.”
Fabian's words stunned and surprised Madeline.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Fabian who had a serious expression with a look of disbelief.
“What do you mean by that?”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2057
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 trembled when she heard this. She figured she truly could not empathize.
In this world, true empathy did not exist.
She would never understand the pain in Fabian's heart, but she could feel the pain of losing a loved one.
She knew that it would be useless to comfort him, so she said nothing.
Once she was back, Madeline waited for Evan's call. Based on the current situation, Carter would never release Lily without getting a satisfactory answer from Evan's father.
The next day, when Madeline got up, she heard conversational voices outside the room.
She hastily cleaned up and saw Fabian and Evan talking in the living room on the second floor of the villa.
She walked in and heard Evan's voice. “My father really can't spare the time to treat Carter's friends
Every patient who is about to receive my father's treatment had registered a long time ago. They can't delay any further.”
Evan's words revealed a sense of helplessness.
Madeline knew this, and she also understood that no one could jump the queue in this kind of thing no matter what.
In addition to wanting to rescue Lily as soon as possible, she actually hoped that Shirley would get the treatment too, but this matter was based on first
#NAME?
Upon hearing Evan's words, Fabian tried to ask Evan to ask his father again when he caught a glimpse of Madeline standing not far away from the corner of his eye.
“You're up,” Fabian said in a friendly tone.
Evan heard that and noticed that Madeline was standing at one side. Madeline also came back to her senses then.
“Yeah, I just got up.” She smiled and walked slowly to them. “Evan, thank your father for his help. If he really can't make time, we shouldn't put him in a difficult position.”
“It's not that. My father does have too many patients who need his help,” Evan explained.
“I can understand that.” Madeline looked at Fabian. “Don't worry, Lily will be safe for now.”
“For now?” Fabian was still worried. “I wonder what insane things Carter will do if he knows his female friend won't get treatment.”
There was a long silence as Fabian's voice fell away.
Madeline then went to buy a new phone. She tried contacting Shirley, but after she sent the message, she did not get a reply.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2058
Madeline figured that Shirley might not be able to reply to the message now, so she could only wait patiently.
About noon, Madeline finally received a message from Shirley.
Shirley told her that Carter was out to buy lunch at this time, so that was why Shirley had a chance to reply to the message.
Additionally, Shirley told Carter that she did not feel too well, and she deliberately asked Carter to go to the pharmacy to buy a medicine that did not exist at all.
After learning about this situation, Madeline rushed to the hotel immediately.
Madeline remembered the room number very well. When she arrived, she rang the doorbell. Shirley immediately opened the door after hearing Madeline's voice, but she found that the door could not be opened at all.
“Carter must have done something from the outside. Eveline, can you see if something is stuck outside the door?”
After hearing that, Madeline immediately looked around the door and found that something was indeed stuck on the handle of the door.
It seemed that Carter had spent so much effort to prevent Shirley from sneaking Lillian away.
Madeline quickly untied the rope tied to the doorknob and Shirley quickly opened the door smoothly.
As soon as the door opened, Madeline saw Lillian's cute and ignorant little face.
Mommy.
When Lillian saw Madeline, she immediately shrieked happily.
“Lily.” Madeline reached out and touched her little cheek.
“Eveline, hurry and take your daughter away. Carter will find out that I lied to him if you delayed. He might be back soon.”
Madeline took Lillian's hand and pulled her to her side. “Aren't you coming with me?”
Shirley paused slightly and then laughed bitterly. “At first, I wanted to leave him and no longer have anything to do with him, but if the main reason he
brought me to F Country is to help me seek treatment, then I'll dismiss this idea.”
Madeline could understand what Shirley meant by saying this. Carter was affectionate to her, and she had always loved Carter, so it was hard for her to give him up.
“Eveline, hurry up and leave. You don't have to worry about me. I think Carter will take good care of me, ” Shirley said as she turned the direction of the wheelchair and her back to Madeline.
“Shirley, thank you, ” Madeline thanked her.
Shirley glanced at her. “No need to thank me, this is what I should be doing. I'm just doing this now to help Carter act in the nick of time.”
Madeline could see that Shirley was determined, so she stopped persuading her. However, when she wanted to pull Lillian's hand, Lillian suddenly walked up to Shirley.
Shirley was taken aback for a moment, wondering what Lillian was going to do.
“Lily, what's wrong? Go with Mommy.”
Lillian nodded and suddenly reached out her little hand to hold Shirley's hand, handing handed a paper lucky star she folded into Shirley's palm.
Shirley immediately understood what Lillian was trying to say. She smiled amicably. “Thank you, Lily. I hope I can go forward in my life with good luck as you wish.”
Lillian smiled and turned to go back to Madeline.
Madeline bent down and picked Lillian up. She ran to the elevator without missing a beat.
“Mommy, ” Lillian called out to Madeline childishly. Her two adorable hands held Madeline's neck tightly as she nestled into Madeline's arms like she was simpering.
Madeline held the little girl in distress. “Good girl, Lily. I'll take you home now.”
Madeline comforted her. However, when she was about to reach the elevator, the elevator door opened, and she saw Carter.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2059
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.”
Lillian nodded her little head lightly without making a sound.
The cold-faced Carter was carrying a lunch box as he walked to the room.
Earlier, he went to at least five or six pharmacies, but none of them had the medicine Shirley wanted.
In the end, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked it up on the Internet and found that the medicine Shirley mentioned did not exist.
She had lied to him.
Why did she lie to him? Did she want to distract him so that she could do something?
The more Carter thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Suddenly, he increased his speed to walk to the room.
Madeline walked forward slowly, she noticed that the footsteps behind her suddenly got closer and became faster. She was a little uneasy; she wondered if Carter had found her.
The moment Madeline decided to look back, Carter noticed Madeline.
At first, Carter had not been looking closely, but the back of this person holding the child made Carter feel that he had seen them before.
The moment Madeline's face popped out of his mind, Madeline also happened to look back to confirm the situation.
When their eyes met, Carter's face suddenly darkened.
“It's really you, Eveline.”
He chuckled lightly, threw the lunch in his hand to the ground, and rushed towards Madeline quickly.
Madeline held Lillian tightly and ran forward without looking back.
Seeing Madeline quickening her pace and running forward, Carter also quickened his pace immediately.
When he was passed by the hotel room door, he turned his head and looked.
Madeline heard Carter's footsteps getting closer, so she hugged Lillian tightly. “Eveline, you can't run away.”
Carter's nightmarish voice came from behind her. Madeline pressed her lips together tightly. No, now
that things had reached this point, she had to protect her little princess, even if she had to do her best.
When she spotted the fire escape ahead, Madeline turned and went in without hesitation.
However, as soon as she walked into the fire escape, an arm suddenly grabbed her shoulders forcefully, and at the same time, a man also covered her mouth with his palm before Madeline could let out any sound.
Carter saw Madeline entering the fire escape, so he followed behind quickly.
However, upon entering, Carter somewhat hesitated.
The corridor was so quiet, and he seemed to be able to hear his breathing.
Carter could not help but furrow his eyebrows. He glanced towards the bottom of the stairs, but in the end, he chose to chase up the stairs.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife chapter 2060
To Carter, a smart woman like Madeline would definitely not play the game according to the rules; instead of running downstairs, she would be running upstairs to confuse him.
However, this time, what Carter did not expect was that Madeline neither went up nor down.
She was now trapped behind the iron door leading into the fire escape.
Madeline's heart was racing. After listening to Carter's footsteps growing fainter and fainter upstairs, she pulled the palm on her mouth away and turned her head back suddenly.
“Shhh.”
When Madeline was about to speak, the man shushed her and took Lillian away from Madeline's arms. He then took Madeline's hand with the other hand and decisively walked out of the fire escape and towards the elevator.
After Carter had walked up a few floors, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Madeline was carrying Lillian, so she could not have run that far.
When he ran in just now, the whole corridor was quiet, completely absent of sound. Therefore, Madeline could not have climbed the stairs while carrying her daughter.
As he thought about this, Carter quickly turned around and returned to the floor earlier.
He decisively walked behind the iron door, and he felt that there was still body temperature remaining in this narrow space.
His pupils shrank, and he sprinted to the elevator.
The moment he ran over, he saw the elevator door in front of him slowly closing. At a glance, he saw Madeline, but she was not holding Lillian in her arms; she seemed to be holding a man's hand instead.
The elevator in the hotel moved very fast. When Carter ran to the elevator, the elevator that Madeline took had already reached the first floor.
He knew that it would definitely be too late to chase them at this time.
“Eveline, you did not outsmart me this time. Instead, I was the careless one.” Carter sneered in the direction of the elevator.
“Don't think that you have ensured your daughter's
safety by saving her this way. You'll come back and find me within three days.”
Carter smiled confidently before turning around and walking towards the room.
At the front entrance of the hotel.
Madeline stared at the man holding her hand without blinking. Under the sun, Jeremy's resolute and solid handsome face was truly reflected in her pupils.
It seemed that at this moment, Madeline realized that she was not dreaming.
“Jeremy, is that really you?” Madeline sighed ruefully, but at the present, she was even more puzzled. “How come? Why are you here?”
Madeline was confused, but it was so good to see him at this moment. It was amazing.
Jeremy lowered his gaze, as gentle as the spring breeze, and looked into Madeline's stunning eyes.
As she was about to say something, the little princess in his arms called out to him sweetly, “ Daddy.”
Jeremy turned his head and his warm gaze landed on the little girl in his arms.
“Lily, I'm here. I'll take you and Mommy home.”
Lillian understood what he meant. She nodded and nestled into Jeremy's arms intimately.
“Linnie, I know you have a lot of questions, but this isn't the place for us to talk. We'll leave now.”
Jeremy held Madeline's hand tightly. “Come.”
As he walked forward, he called a cab at the side of the road before leading the two most important females in his life into the car.
The car drove a very long distance and arrived at the hotel near F Country Airport.
Madeline could approximately guess what Jeremy was trying to say. He was about to bring her and Lillian back home directly.
However, at this time, Madeline unconsciously thought about Fabian, and she also recalled what he said yesterday.
“Linnie, what are you thinking about?”
