Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2081
The man looked at the empty hospital bed in astonishment. He could not believe what he was seeing.
He immediately ran to the windowsill with a panic expression and saw that the window was open.
Moreover, there were a few obvious footprints on the windowsill outside.
This was the fifth floor. Carter had actually jumped down from such a height!
Panicking, the man immediately called his superiors.
Madeline and Shirley shared a look and walked out of the room together.
Not long after, Madeline pushed Shirley directly toward below the room from just now.
There were indeed traces of someone stepping on the flowerbed. As such, they were basically certain that Carter had climbed down from the fifth floor and escaped.
He had been shot twice, and the wounds on his arm and leg were pretty severe, but he was still able to escape like this while under surveillance. Madeline could not help but sigh.
“His stamina has always been good, but I didn't expect him to be able to do what he wants under such circumstances.“
Shirley sighed and the smile on her lips became more sarcastic.
“Why can't he just turn back?“
By now, Madeline had no hope for Carter.
She frowned and slowly opened her lips. “Everyone will go on different paths, but I guess Carter wants to go this way. He doesn't want to look back because he just wants to achieve his own goals.“
After listening to Madeline's words, Shirley's eyes were filled with despair.
She closed her eyes and lost all hope.
In fact, her heart was already dead, but she had not reconciled, so she still struggled on the brink of death. However, she had finally given up now.
Madeline immediately called Fabian, hoping that he could help find Carter's whereabouts.
She would only know where Jeremy was after she found Carter.
However, the whole day passed without any news.
Carter seemed to have evaporated from the hospital because he was not seen in any of the footage of the surveillance cameras.
Madeline could not wrap her head around this. Could Carter do magic?
However, this was of course impossible. He must have avoided surveillance by some other means.
It was very likely that he was on his way to Jeremy now.
If nothing bad had happened to Jeremy, then Carter would definitely get rid of Jeremy before something happened to him.
When she thought about this, Madeline felt as if her heart had been set on fire. Her heart felt so anxious and painful.
“Jeremy, where on earth are you?"
Distressed, Madeline fidgeted with Jeremy's phone and ring restlessly.
At this moment, Lillian walked to her side. The little cutie called out to her, but Madeline, too focused on missing Jeremy, did not hear her.
When the little cutie tugged on her skirt, Madeline finally came back to her senses.
“Lily." She squatted apologetically and held the little cutie's hand. “Lily, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell? Where does it hurt? Tell me."
Lillian shook her little head and said one word to Madeline. “Daddy."
Daddy.
She missed her daddy.
Her daddy had held her two days ago and played with her so lovingly and warmly, but suddenly, her daddy was gone.
When Madeline heard Lily say that, she felt even more uneasy. At the same time, she was also feeling distressed.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2082
“Lily, Daddy has something to do. He'll be back when he's done. Can you wait a little longer?“
Lillian was an obedient and sensible child, so when Madeline said that, she nodded sensibly.
Madeline looked at Lillian with gratification and then rolled up Lillian's sleeves to look at her skin.
The small red spots on her skin were still very obvious, but those red spots had not increased compared to when they started appearing.
It was because Shirley had asked Evan to buy an oral medicine to temporarily keep the disease under control.
Shirley truly had not expected Carter to take action on such a young child.
He must have given the child the injection at night when she and Lillian were both asleep.
Shirley also did not know how many of the half- completed test reagents she previously developed Carter had.
Perhaps when he thought it was necessary, he would use this extreme method to achieve his goal.
Shirley could not help but fall into contemplation. Suddenly, she felt that she did not know Carter. The first impression she had of him was that he was positive, modest, and gentle. As such, why did he seem like another person when they met again?
Maybe people change.
As time passed, Madeline's heartbeat grew heavier and heavier.
She turned on Jeremy's phone and blankly opened the album in his gallery.
After entering the password that she knew by heart, the album opened, and it was filled with photos of her family. However, Madeline found that her photos took up more space.
She smiled knowingly. She knew that deep in Jeremy's heart, she was the most important person.
However, as she smiled, glistening tears quietly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
'Jeremy, where on earth are you? 'Where has Carter hidden you?
'Were you really so stupid to allow Carter to manipulate you for Lily's sake?'
Madeline thought in her heart, and her heart became tighter and tighter.
Perhaps she so was tired that she unknowingly fell asleep while leaning back on the sofa.
She had no idea how much time had passed when she slowly opened her eyes. She turned on the phone and looked at the time, and she found that she had accidentally opened the memo unbeknownst to her.
Madeline could not remember when she opened it, so she figured she must have accidentally pressed it while she was still groggy.
At a glance, she saw that most of the memo was related to work. There were also some trivial details about daily life, such as what to buy for the child after getting off work and what he would give her as presents.
The sight of these warmed Madeline's heart. She could imagine that Jeremy must be at his most tender state when he was writing those memos about them.
It was heartwarming for Madeline to read the memos. When she was about to close the memo and get up, she realized that the first memo had been recorded at the time before Jeremy's disappearance a few days ago.
Madeline's heart pounded, and she opened the memo quickly.
There were only two short sentences. [Linnie, if you can't find me, don't worry too much. Trust me, I will always be by you and the children's side.]
After reading this sentence, Madeline somehow felt her whole body getting stuck in a trance.
An intense uneasiness and chill surged from the soles of the feet.
“Jeremy.“
Madeline murmured and stood up suddenly.
As soon as Fabian came in from the outside, he saw Madeline running out hurriedly past him.
“Eveline, where are you going?“ Fabian asked worriedly.
However, it seemed that Madeline did not hear him. She ran outside with all her might and when she reached the side of the road, she called a car and disappeared from Fabian's sight.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2083
At the former address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
In the dark prison underneath, the sound of gurgling water came through the crack of the door at the entrance from time to time.
With a squeak, the heavy iron gate was gently pushed open.
A faint light beam came in from the crack of the door. Click.
Someone turned on the lights.
Jeremy, who was trapped in the pool, raised his eyes and saw Carter condescendingly staring at him.
However, Jeremy found that Carter looked different and haggard at the moment. Additionally, his face was also very pale. He did not have the look of confidence he had that day.
Carter lowered his eyes to Jeremy who was trapped in the pool.
The water in the pool was not too deep, probably just above Jeremy's calf, but the pool was very large and deep. It was about two meters high and the walls were covered with tiles. One would not be able to climb up along the wall of the pool unless they knew how to fly.
When he saw Jeremy trapped in such an environment, Carter let out a wicked chuckle.
“Mr. Whitman, your physical strength is really different from ordinary people. You're still full of energy after staying in such a harsh environment for two days and two nights.“
Carter sneered and mocked, slowly moving closer to Jeremy.
“It seems that I should be crueler to you. I shouldn't leave you food so that you'll die faster.“
Jeremy raised his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he had not eaten anything in the past two days, his strong aura had not diminished in the slightest.
“Carter, stop pretending. I know you want to torment me slowly like this.“ Jeremy could see through Carter, and of course, he was very confident.
As long as Carter did not cripple him, he still had a chance to escape.
What had he not experienced in the past two years? He had never been afraid of life and death. However, the only thing he could not let go of and give up was his Linnie.
After Jeremy saw through him, Carter was taken aback for a moment. He then smiled casually.
“Jeremy, I know you're actually very worried and anxious. You're afraid that you'll die here and never see your favorite woman again, aren't you?“
Unexpectedly, Carter could also see through him. After that, Jeremy met Carter's gaze deeply.
“If you're utterly satisfied, then you should finish me off now Haven't you heard? Bad guys usually die because they're too talkative? You'd only give me
more time to fight back like this.“
“Heh.“ Carter snorted arrogantly. “Fight back? Do you even dare to fight back? If you had dared to fight back, you wouldn't have been so obedient and jumped into the pool from here.“
Carter smiled complacently. He looked at Jeremy who could not get out of the pool in satisfaction.
“Yorick was still a bit smart. He built a prison here to deal with those who are not obedient. No matter how good your physique is, you won't be able to fly up from this two-meter-high pool, Jeremy.“
After listening to what Carter said, Jeremy lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds.
“You know Yorick. “ Jeremy opened his lips. It was not a question but an affirmation.
Carter tugged at the corners of his lips, and his eyes emitted a subtle glow.
“To say that I know him would be an understatement.“ Carter smiled, and then he frowned suddenly. It seemed that he had affected the wound on his shoulder.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2084
Jeremy noticed this, and from Carter's haggard and pale face, Jeremy also figured that Carter was probably injured.
However, Jeremy did not know how he got injured.
Regardless, when Carter had spoken, Jeremy started to think something was amiss.
Somehow, Jeremy suddenly remembered the words he and Madeline had discussed.
He still remembered what Madeline had said at the time. “Jeremy, I think Carter might've had something to do with Ryan's death.“
Jeremy thought silently, but he did not show the suspicion and confusion in his heart on his face.
When Carter saw that Jeremy was silent, the smug smile on his face grew bigger.
“Are you confused? Do you think it's strange?“ Carter asked with a smile. He then continued, “ Jeremy, I can also tell you that I provoked your relationship with Fabian and made him mistakenly think that you guys caused the death of his brother and sister. So, that's why he suddenly hated you and Eveline.
“I thought Fabian could vent my anger for me, but I didn't expect that the kid would actually spoil your daughter like a little princess even though he said he resented you two. How interesting.“
Carter said this meaningfully. He then glanced at Jeremy's legs again.
“How is it? It's winter, so your legs must be freezing and numb in the pool, aren't they? Soon, you might lose all feeling in them. Then, the lights in your world will go off. Uh-huh. If that's the case, then I 'll tell you one more thing you have not expected...“
“Jeremy! “
Suddenly, Madeline's voice came from outside the prison.
Originally, Jeremy and Carter could not hear Madeline because the door of the underground prison was very soundproof, but at this moment, the iron door was open, so they could hear Madeline
very clearly as she called out from the above ground.
Jeremy's heart was beating faster, and a word escaped naturally from his thin lips. “Linnie.“
Carter frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied. He did not understand how Madeline could come here at this time.
To prevent Jeremy from calling out to her, Carter hurriedly turned around.
This huge movement affected the wound on his leg and shoulder. The tearing pain made him inhale sharply.
Jeremy noticed the change in Carter's expression
and guessed that Carter's injury might not be minor. “Jeremy, are you here? Can you hear me? Jeremy! “
Madeline called out again. Carter could not care about his injury at this time. He endured the pain and walked to the door to pull the iron door shut.
As the door closed, Carter heard Jeremy yell out, “
Linnie!
He was fortunate because if he was a second later, Madeline might not hear him.
Madeline felt restless when she read Jeremy's memo.
As she recalled how Carter had appeared that time, she still felt that Jeremy should be around here somewhere.
Since Jeremy had come to see Carter and since Carter had been here at that time, then Jeremy should not be far from here.
As Madeline searched, she called out to Jeremy. Although she had searched this place before, this time, she was even more careful in her search.
After looking around, she suddenly stopped and called Fabian hurriedly.
Fabian was very worried after Madeline ran out. When he received a call from Madeline, he heard Madeline ask him hurriedly before he could say anything, “Fabian, do you know if there's any secret hiding place or a basement in the Stygian Johnson Gang's place?“
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2085
“A basement?“ After a moment of confusion, Fabian gradually understood what Madeline meant. “ Eveline, do you suspect that Jeremy is still in the old house belonging to the Stygian Johnson Gang?“
“Yes, “ Madeline replied without hesitation. “Carter asked Jeremy to meet him here and Carter was also here at that time, so I have reason to believe that Jeremy must be there too.“
Upon hearing what Madeline said, Fabian suddenly felt that it was reasonable, but he could not think of any hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house.
Maybe there was, but he did not know it.
After thinking about it carefully, Yorick's transactions back then had been very risky. Therefore, he might have had set up a few hiding places in the Stygian Johnson Gang house to facilitate absconding or hiding.“
“Eveline, so are you at the house now?“ Fabian asked worriedly. “I heard Carter ran away from the hospital. So, if you are there, you have to be careful.“
After hearing what Fabian said, Madeline's heart suddenly became more vigilant.
Fabian was right. Carter had escaped from the hospital. It was very likely that he would go to Jeremy as soon as possible in his condition.
If Jeremy was here as she had guessed, then Carter might be around here too.
Just when Madeline thought so, she heard familiar footsteps approaching her from behind.
Of course, she knew very well that those footsteps were not Jeremy, but...
Madeline turned around suddenly, and Carter's somber and cold face suddenly appeared in the line of sight of her clear pupils.
The sight of Carter at this moment seemed to relax Madeline's heart; she was convinced that she was right about this.
“It seems that Jeremy is really here.“
Carter's approaching footsteps slowly stopped. He stood less than a meter away from Madeline, a cold and arrogant smile on his slightly pale face.
“How did you guess that Jeremy must be here?“ Carter asked, seemingly interested in knowing Madeline's thoughts.
“Do you know what telepathy is?“ Madeline said speciously, her eyes were full of contempt and indifference as she looked at Carter.
“Carter, someone like you will never know that feeling.“
Madeline was deliberately irritating Carter. When Carter furrowed his eyebrows, it was clear that he was really dissatisfied by what Madeline had said.
He thought of Shirley and her current attitude. He could not accept Shirley's current disregard for him, let alone this so-called telepathy.
When she saw that Carter's expression was gradually turning unpleasant, Madeline felt a bit joyful in her heart.
“Carter, now that we've reached this point, are you still insisting that you are not wrong?“
“I don't need you to judge whether I'm right or wrong, and I don't care what anyone thinks of me.“ Carter remained proudly insistent on his opinions.
“So, it doesn't matter how Shirley sees you?“ Madeline asked in turn.
Carter frowned and his gaze darkened. “Eveline, don't try to distract me with Shirley. Let's get back on topic. Do you want to know where Jeremy is?“
“Isn't that nonsense? Of course, I want to know where my husband is, but will you tell me?“ Madeline was anxious and worried about Jeremy, but on the surface, she appeared to be calm and composed.
Carter looked at Madeline with admiration. Suddenly, he displayed a sly smile.
“Of course, I will tell you.“
Carter's words surprised Madeline quite a bit.
However, from Carter's ill-intentioned smile, Madeline knew that Carter must have his purpose in saying so.
“Will you really tell me where Jeremy is?“ “I will take you to see him now.“
After Carter finished speaking coldly, he turned around.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2086
With his leg injured, he walked very slow. Madeline started following Carter.
Although Carter was walking slowly, Madeline found
out that he had a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Stygian Johnson Gang house.
Madeline followed him for a while and came to the back garden of the house.
The flowers in the yard had wilted, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground that had been neglected.
However, there was a piece of land with significantly fewer leaves nearby.
Madeline had a sudden thought when. at this moment, Carter walked over and pressed the hidden switch on the side of the flower bed, and then an intersection leading to the basement in the open area without fallen leaves appeared before him.
Unexpectedly, there was a hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Madeline was surprised, but she figured that it was normal for Yorick to build such a place when he was in that kind of business.
However, Yorick probably did not let his younger brother Fabian know about these places.
Carter saw Madeline standing still while deep in thought and he laughed. “Why? Are you afraid?“
Madeline came back to her senses and strode to Carter. Her eyes were sharp when she said, “If I were afraid, I wouldn't be here.“
She spoke and took the lead and walked down the stairs.
Seeing that Madeline went on so boldly, Carter followed suit.
Once they had arrived at the basement, Carter closed the door to the entrance of the basement so that no one would find it.
Madeline did not care about Carter. After entering the basement, she felt her heart beating restlessly.
She walked onward, and when she saw the black iron door, her heart skipped a beat. A strong premonition sprang up suddenly from the bottom of her heart.
She quickened her pace and ran to the iron door. After that, she raised her hand and firmly grasped the door handle.
“Jeremy?“
Presently, Jeremy did not hear Madeline calling out to him, but in that instance, he subconsciously looked toward the door.
“Linnie?“
He felt doubtful, then, as that feeling intensified, the iron door in front of him was pushed open.
Madeline's figure immediately appeared in Jeremy's vision.
It was as though Jeremy's eyes were filled with a sky full of stars at the moment as they shone brightly in an instant.
“Linnie, is that you?"
After entering the room, Madeline did not see where Jeremy was.
After hearing his voice, she felt a sense of security, and at the same time, she looked in the direction of the voice.
However, to her surprise, she saw Jeremy trapped in a square pool.
“Jeremy!"
Madeline quickly ran to the side of the pool.
“Jeremy." Madeline looked at the man who was looking up at her with worry and distress in her eyes.
Jeremy's legs were in the cold water for two days. Presently, they were numb and freezing, but he still had to pretend nothing had happened as he walked to the side of the pool.
Madeline squatted quickly. Both of her knees touched the cold ground while she reached out to hold Jeremy's hand that was reaching for hers.
“Jeremy, you're really here. How dare he trapped you in such a place."
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2087
Madeline tightly grabbed onto Jeremy's hand, feeling the unusually low temperature of his palm.
The thought of Jeremy might have been soaking in the water for two days instantly made Madeline feel as if a thousand knives slit her heart.
When Jeremy saw that Madeline's eyes were reddening and bordering on tears, Jeremy quickly tried to comfort her. “Linnie, don't be sad. I'm fine.“
“You're fine? How can you be fine? You've been trapped in such a place for two days. How can you be fine?“ Madeline's voice trembled. She tried to pull Jeremy up with her strength, but it was too difficult.
She looked around and found some stairs that could be lowered in the corner of the pool, so she hurriedly got up and ran over.
“Linnie.“ Jeremy saw Madeline's intentions, but he did not think Carter would let him out so smoothly.
“Linnie, why did you come in here? You need to leave now. Carter will take action against you.“
Jeremy persuaded her despite knowing very well that Madeline would never listen to his persuasion.
“Jeremy, it'll be over soon. I'll lower the stairs so you can come up.“ Madeline ran to the corner of the pool. When she was about to lower the stairs, Carter came behind her.
“Eveline, do you think I asked you to come in to see Jeremy so you can take him away?“
Madeline felt a shadow towering over her as Carter's voice came from behind her.
“Linnie, run! “ Jeremy reminded her nervously again and again. At the same time, he warned Carter, “ Carter, it's me you want. Don't touch my wife! “
Jeremy warned, moving quickly towards Madeline's direction.
However, being trapped here for the past two days had sapped his strength, and soaking in the water for so long had also numbed his legs. Too eager to go to Madeline, he suddenly felt a cramp in his legs, the pain of which caused him to suddenly stop in his tracks.
Noticing Jeremy's discomfort, Madeline's heart trembled. “What's wrong, Jeremy?“
Jeremy quickly calmed Madeline's emotions. “I'm fine. I've been soaking in the water for too long, so my legs are a little numb.“
He endured the pain and gave Madeline a relaxed smile. However, his eyes changed.
“Linnie, listen to me. Leave now, I'll be fine.“
“Jeremy, how are you so confident that you'll be fine?“ Carter sneered. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to pull Madeline up.
When Jeremy saw this, his gaze darkened. “Carter, let go of Linnie! “
Carter sneered. He ignored the pain in his shoulder and violently grabbed Madeline's wrist. “She really is the person you care about the most.“
He said and looked at Madeline, who glared at him coolly and did not show any weakness at all.
“I know that when you came in with me, you prepared for the worst, Eveline. I really admire a woman like you, so I'll grant you your wish and allow you to stay with your favorite man.“
After Carter finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned dark and he turned his somber gaze to Jeremy, who was extremely worried.
“Jeremy, I'll give you your favorite woman now. Catch.“
Jeremy's heart trembled when he heard the words. For an instant, he was confused.
“Carter, what are you doing?“
“Hmph.“ Carter smirked evilly and suddenly shoved Madeline toward the pool.
“Linnie! “ Jeremy's heart seemed to jump out of his throat in that instant. When he saw Madeline losing her balance from being pushed into the pool and he ignored all his discomfort and stretched out his arms to catch Madeline.
Madeline would never imagine that Carter would be so insane.
After losing her balance from the push, she thought she would plunge into the water, but Jeremy did not let this happen.
Although he was very tired, he still caught Madeline firmly.
When Carter saw this, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
”It seems that you should be quite satisfied now. At least, if you can't be born on the same day, you can die on the same day, am I right? Hmph.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2088
Carter smirked sinisterly, turned around, and left.
The heavy iron door was quickly closed, leaving only Jeremy holding Madeline in a bridal carry in the pool.
Madeline knew that Carter would not come back and release them, so she did not hold any hope.
Her heart felt more grounded now that she had seen Jeremy.
“Jeremy. “ Madeline glanced at the man, raised her arm to circle around his neck, and hugged him tightly.
“I was really worried about you. You said that you would see Carter after thinking of a countermeasure, but why did you take the risk alone? You know he wants to deal with you, so why did you walk directly into his trap?“
After listening to Madeline's complaints, Jeremy could feel Madeline's care and concern for him.
He pulled his sexy and beautiful lips into a smile. “ I'm fine, don't worry.“
“You're still saying you're fine?“ Madeline let go of her hands, distress filled her wet but beautiful eyes. “ Hurry and let me down first.“
“I'm not tired.“
“Are you planning to hold me like this until Carter lets us out?“
Madeline asked rhetorically, it was obviously impossible.
However, Jeremy insisted and said, “I'll carry you for as long as I can. I don't want you to suffer in the water like me.“
“We're husband and wife, so it's only right to share our weal and woes. Put me down now,“ Madeline also insisted.
Jeremy did not want to go against Madeline's wishes, so he let her down obediently.
After Madeline landed, she saw that the water in the pool was up to her calf.
The water was not dirty. It was clear but very cold.
With the cold winter temperatures, the water was bone-chilling.
When she thought about how Jeremy had been soaking in such a pool for the past two days, Madeline's tears fell against her volition.
When Jeremy saw her crying, he quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
“Why are you crying for a scum like me again?“ he asked jokingly, trying to make Madeline relax.
However, not only did she not stop, she was crying even harder now.
She was the tough and strong Eveline Montgomery in front of others.
However, in front of Jeremy, she was just a delicate and fragile little woman.
The more Jeremy looked at her, the more distressed he felt.
“Alright, don't cry, Linnie. I'm fine. Carter only traps me here, but he still gives me food and drink. He won't torture me to death like this."
When she heard this, Madeline took a deep breath and recomposed herself.
“He's insane."
“He looked injured, is that right?"
“Yeah." Madeline nodded and told Jeremy what happened yesterday.
Jeremy sighed sorrowfully. “So many things happened out there yesterday, yet I couldn't hear anything." “The people from St. Piaf are here, and they're about to capture him. I think he'll use the cruelest and most savage methods to deal with us these two days. Jeremy, I've been so worried about you."
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2089
After noticing the intense worry in Madeline's eyes, Jeremy squeezed her hand and comforted her softly.
“Linnie, we have overcome so many difficulties. I believe that this time, we'll also be able to avert disaster. Trust me.“
He gave a firm promise and then asked nervously.
“By the way, how's Lily? Carter said he told you the plan to treat Lily. He didn't lie to me, did he?“
When she heard this, Madeline felt a pang of pain in her heart again.
“So, you listened to Carter and let him manipulate you and trap you here for the sake of our daughter?“
Madeline asked, her heart feeling getting heavier and heavier.
“Don't you know what kind of person Carter is? He doesn't deserve any of your trust.“
Upon hearing this, Jeremy's expression changed anxiously.
“So, Carter didn't tell you how to treat Lily? Lily still has rashes all over?“
It was clear that Jeremy was angry and anxious. On the one hand, he was worried about his baby girl, while on the other hand, he was angry that he had been fooled by Carter.
When she saw Jeremy in this state, Madeline quickly explained, “Don't worry, Jeremy, Lily's situation has improved.“
“Really?“ Jeremy did not quite believe it, but when he saw Madeline, he nodded with certainty.
“Really, “ Madeline emphasized. “But it has nothing to do with Carter. He just told me why this is happening, and Shirley is the only one with the solution.“
“Shirley?“
“Carter probably injected Lily with a test reagent when she was asleep. But this test reagent has no antidote at all, and now only Shirley can make the antidote.“
When Jeremy heard this, he understood. Carter had fooled him.
Back then, he had not given it much thought because he was worried about the child.
As long as Lillian could recover, as her father, Jeremy would sacrifice anything for her; he would dare to do anything.
However, now that he caused Madeline to be trapped here with him, Jeremy felt reluctant.
He said he would protect her in the future, but he could never protect her well.
However, Madeline would never blame him, of course. She knew how much Jeremy wanted to protect her and spoil her.
After receiving the call from Madeline, Fabian drove to the Stygian Johnson Gang house as fast as possible.
However, after searching all over, he could not find Madeline.
Worried, Fabian called Madeline's number, but the call could not go through.
Could not go through? How could it be?
Fabian was feeling restless, and all of a sudden, he felt perturbed.
Time passed slowly, and the people Fabian had sent out could not find Carter or Madeline.
As such, Fabian had no choice but to go back to his villa. Once he entered the door, Lily ran toward him and called out for her daddy and mommy in front of him.
Fabian knew Lillian wanted Jeremy and Madeline, but right now, Fabian felt very helpless.
He could only comfort Lillian and promise her.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 2090
“Lily, your daddy is busy with work and can't leave for the time being. Your mommy is helping your daddy too. When they are done, they will come together to take you home.“
Fabian explained patiently with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Lillian blinked. She seemed to understand what Fabian was saying, and she did not call out for her mom and dad anymore.
However, Fabian's heartbeat sank inexplicably. “ Lily, when your parents come back to pick you up, do you really want to go home with them?“
It was unknown if Lillian understood the expectation and dissatisfaction in Fabian's eyes because she stretched out her small palm and gently held Fabian's hand.
Upon feeling the warmth from the little cutie's palm in his, a subtle sweetness seemed to instantly fill Fabian's heart.
He rolled up Lillian's sleeves and saw the unfading red spots on her skin, then he furrowed his brows tightly.
Shirley just came out at this moment, so Fabian took Lillian's little hand and then slowly stood up.
“Miss Brown, how's the progress? When will the red spots on Lily's skin disappear?“
Shirley frowned and spoke guiltily.
“I want to develop an antidote as soon as possible too, but I still need more time.“
Fabian was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, but he had no choice. Thus, he just glanced at the cutie next to him distressingly.
“If these red dots don't disappear, will there be anything more serious happening next?“
“I can only say that this possibility has not been ruled out. “ Shirley felt helpless. “It was just a whim when I developed this, so there weren't any clinical trials for it. I can only call it a semi-completed product, and I can only tell you that it is possible that there will be pathological changes.“
“Pathological changes?“ Fabian's eyes widened. “ You can't let that happen! You have to develop an antidote as soon as possible. Lily is so young, and she has already suffered a lot. I don't want her to suffer anymore.“
Upon hearing Fabian's words, a smile appeared on Shirley's solemn face.
“You're so good to this child.“
Fabian was taken aback when he heard that, but he did not avoid it. “Lily is the only family I have in this world that allows me to see the light and feel warm.“
“Family?“
“Yes, to me, she's family, “ Fabian explained, despite not having any blood relations with Lillian.
However, in his heart, Lillian was the most special and most important person to him in this world right now.
“Don't worry, I will do my best to help Lily recover as soon as possible, “ Shirley promised. She then looked at her surroundings. “I haven't seen Eveline for the entire day. Where is she?“
Fabian looked at Lillian with concern when Shirley asked him about Madeline. He then asked the maid to take Lillian upstairs.
Once Lilian had returned to her room, Fabian finally voiced the concerns in his heart.
“She might be in trouble too.“
“What? You mean Eveline's in trouble too?“
Fabian nodded and told Shirley his conversation with Madeline not long ago.
“Miss Brown, I suspect Carter has abducted Eveline. Since you have a close relationship with Carter, I think you're the only one who can save Eveline and Jeremy now.“
“Carter again? “ Shirley felt troubled too. She also could not explain why Carter was still so stubborn until now.
Perhaps it was useless no matter what she said to him. He was already obsessed with this.
