Felipe’s faint voice was heard over the phone. “Something happened to Lillian.”
Madeline’s expression changed drastically. “Something happened to Lillian? What do you mean by that?!”
“Lillian accidentally tripped and hit virtual-novel.net head. She’s bleeding heavily. I just sent virtual-novel.net to Royal Hospital to be treated,” Felipe said calmly. Then, virtual-novel.net asked, “Are you with Jeremy?”
“I’m not with him. I’m going to book a ticket to fly back to F Country now!”
Jeremy came out from the conference room and saw Madeline running to the elevator. His eyes went dim as virtual-novel.net put on a jealous expression. “You’re so desperate to meet virtual-novel.net after just a call. Eveline, were you this concerned about me in the past?”
Madeline boarded the flight overnight to hurry back to F Country.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at the hospital, Lillian was being admitted to the ICU for further observation.
Through the glass window, Madeline glanced at the pale doll-like face. The sight only made virtual-novel.net heartbroken.
The servants claimed Lillian was having fun by herself when virtual-novel.net accidentally knocked virtual-novel.net head, but Madeline was not convinced.
‘This must be a warning from Felipe.
‘He’s trying to warn me not to have the impulse to tell anyone about the truth, or else, the one who’s going to be injured is Lillian.’
Exhausted, Madeline sank into the chair. She was mentally drained.
Felipe’s towering physique soon approached her. She felt that virtual-novel.net was just like an enormous mountain, suppressing virtual-novel.net to the point where virtual-novel.net was breathless.
She could not estimate how much longer virtual-novel.net would have to endure such terrifying days.
Felipe walked up to her. “Lillian is no longer in any life-threatening scenario. Actually, you didn’t have to purposely fly back here.”
Madeline stared at the gentle expression and gradually got up. “Right now, the one who’s lying inside is my biological kid who I carried in my stomach for ten months. Do you think I’ll be able to stay at Glendale and not be bothered by any of this?”
Madeline’s stern yet sharp gaze matched up Felipe’s mysterious, unpredictable eyes.
“Felipe, you’re just trying to prevent me from being together with Jeremy, right? I, Eveline Montgomery, will promise you that I’ll never be involved in anything related to Jeremy. All I request is for you not to harm my daughter!”
Felipe frowned. “You think that I’m the one who ordered someone to harm Lillian?”
“If it’s not for you, hiring someone to monitor virtual-novel.net and lock virtual-novel.net up in that house, would something like this have happened to Lillian?”
“I did that just so you’ll stay by my side.”
“I promise you, Felipe, that I’ll stay by your side as long you don’t harm my kid, alright? If you’re unsatisfied, then divert your dissatisfaction to me.”
Felipe stared at virtual-novel.net without answering.
He took off his coat and placed it over Madeline’s shoulders gently.
“It’s getting late, and you’re pregnant, so don’t catch a cold. I’ll send someone to fetch you home first.”
“Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline shoved his hand. “But I’m going to stay here to guard my daughter.”
“You know I don’t want to place you in a tough situation, Eveline. Be a good girl and head home to rest.”
‘You claim you don’t want to put me in a tough spot, but your attitude doesn’t speak the same way.’
Madeline looked at the little girl in ICU while clenching virtual-novel.net hands into fists. In the end, virtual-novel.net headed home.
Madeline stayed at F Country for a week until after Lillian had fully recovered before heading back to Glendale with Felipe.
Actually, virtual-novel.net did not want to come back so early as virtual-novel.net wanted to keep Lillian accompany. However, Felipe insisted virtual-novel.net head back to Glendale with him. For the sake of Lillian’s safety, virtual-novel.net had no other options left.
She boarded a three hours’ flight, then continued virtual-novel.net journey in a car. Madeline started feeling nauseous.
The car came to a halt and Madeline rushed to a rubbish bin where virtual-novel.net retched. Felipe was concerned about her. He came up to her, gently tapping virtual-novel.net back. “Are you alright? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“Not necessary.” Madeline rejected virtual-novel.net flat out. Just when virtual-novel.net wanted to avoid Felipe’s hand, two outlines appeared in virtual-novel.net visual field.
She then heard Jeremy’s voice that would catch anyone’s attention…
