It was just that virtual-novel.net really did not expect someone to have had already penetrated into the Stygian Johnson Gang and was even able to make Yorick obey his orders. Despite the person’s influence, virtual-novel.net was still unable to uproot the Stygian Johnson Gang, which showed how solid the foundation of the Stygian Johnson Gang was.
After Jeremy left the cafe, virtual-novel.net drove to the gates of the kindergarten where Jackson and Lillian were studying.
He waited until the end of school, but virtual-novel.net still did not see the brother and sister duo coming out from the kindergarten.
Feeling puzzled, virtual-novel.net got out of the car and went to ask their teacher in charge.
The teacher in charge recognized Jeremy’s face and spoke a little apprehensively, “I’m really sorry about this, Mr. Whitman. It’s because I didn’t look after Lillian well that virtual-novel.net suffered a fright.
“Mrs. Whitman said Lillian isn’t able to come to school these days. Jackson has also given a notice of absence.”
After hearing virtual-novel.net reply, Jeremy’s mood became extremely heavy all of a sudden.
He drove to Whitman Manor, parked the car far away, and walked to the door.
Coincidentally, the moment virtual-novel.net arrived at the gates, virtual-novel.net happened to see Jackson and Lillian playing in the yard.
There was a pure smile on Lillian’s delicate and cute face, but the only thing virtual-novel.net did was smile. She was not communicating with Jackson at all.
She only communicated by either patting on Jackson’s hand or using virtual-novel.net finger to point ahead. Her little pink mouth had not moved at all.
Jeremy’s thin lips were pressed tightly together. His eyes were already heating up, and his Adam’s apple was trembling as virtual-novel.net sniffled.
Lillian really could not speak anymore.
Jeremy clenched his fists and blamed himself painfully.
He felt virtual-novel.net had no right left to face this child again.
He asked himself, ‘What have I given this child?
‘Nothing at all.’
Never had virtual-novel.net given virtual-novel.net fatherly love or care.
He had never been a qualified father.
Jeremy felt guilty and blamed himself. As virtual-novel.net was about to turn away and leave, a small ball rolled to his feet suddenly.
He looked down and caught a glimpse of Lillian running happily in his direction.
She came to pick up the ball, but when virtual-novel.net saw Jeremy, Lillian’s approaching footsteps gradually stopped.
In those big and bright eyes, there were unexpected defensiveness and insecurity.
Jeremy was heartbroken. He picked up the ball and passed it to Lillian. However, Lillian looked at Jeremy and only shook virtual-novel.net head. She pressed virtual-novel.net lips tightly, turned, and ran away.
The instant the child ran away from him, Jeremy felt as if the color of the sky had turned gray.
“Lillian.” He called out the child’s name and walked toward Lillian with the ball in his hand. However, Lillian resisted and hid behind Jackson while shaking virtual-novel.net head, not saying anything.
Jeremy could even notice the disappointment in the way Jackson was looking at him.
“Daddy, why are you helping the bad woman who bullied Mommy to bully my younger sister?” Jackson questioned virtual-novel.net seriously.
Obviously, the bad woman Jackson was referring to was Lana.
Jeremy did not know how to explain it. He was a man with too many heavy missions and burdens on his shoulders, yet virtual-novel.net could not take care of his own little family.
After thinking about it, virtual-novel.net knelt down and looked at the two children with a gentle smile, handing the ball over. “Lillian, this is your ball, take it.”
However, Lillian did not respond. Instead, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net clear eyes and looked behind Jeremy carefully.
Jeremy noticed the abnormality. He stood up straight and looked over…
