When Lillian saw Fabian, a smile blossomed on virtual-novel.net beautiful face.
Even though virtual-novel.net did not say anything, virtual-novel.net body language showed that virtual-novel.net wanted to get close to Fabian.
Madeline let go of virtual-novel.net hand and Lillian jogged over to get close to Fabian.
Fabian squatted and carried the adorable little girl. “Lily, did you miss me?”
Lillian nodded virtual-novel.net head lightly.
Fabian felt his heart getting warmer when virtual-novel.net saw the innocent face.
Madeline was not against Fabian. She thought this scene in front of virtual-novel.net looked pretty heartwarming as well.
She could see Fabian’s concern and care for Lillian.
He used to be frivolous, but now, it seemed that virtual-novel.net had changed a great deal.
“Fabian, are you here for me?” Madeline asked.
Fabian nodded. He did not mind the little girl in his arms playing with his hair.
“Lana will be punished soon. However, virtual-novel.net refuses to admit that she’s the one who set the fire in Montgomery Manor. She insists that Jeremy was the one who set the fire. The police in F Country contacted the police here and I received a shocking piece of news.”
Madeline’s heart started racing when virtual-novel.net heard Jeremy’s name.
However, virtual-novel.net pretended to be calm. She looked at Lillian who was grinning while playing with Fabian’s hair before asking flatly, “What news?”
Fabian replied after hesitating for a while, “Jeremy is dead.”
“…”
The three words fell into Madeline’s ears. She looked silently at virtual-novel.net daughter who was in Fabian’s arms.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt as if virtual-novel.net whole world had stopped moving.
“Eveline, is that true?” Fabian looked at the frozen Madeline and asked in curiosity.
Madeline found virtual-novel.net train of thought and scoffed. “He’s fine. How could virtual-novel.net be dead? I even saw virtual-novel.net a while ago.”
She purposely emphasized that virtual-novel.net had seen him. However, a while ago was a few months ago.
“I need to take Lily to the psychiatrist. I don’t want to hear any news about Lana.” Madeline took Lillian from Fabian and walked to the garage. Her brain was buzzing with countless voices repeating in virtual-novel.net brain, saying that Jeremy was dead.
Madeline walked away hurriedly. She was the only one who knew virtual-novel.net was hiding from this.
She was driving the car on the road, and halfway through the journey, Madeline stepped on the brakes to stop halfway.
“Jeremy is dead. Eveline, is that true?”
‘No.’
‘That’s not true.’
Madeline denied it in virtual-novel.net heart.
Lillian was sitting in the car seat at the back and looked strangely at virtual-novel.net motionless mother.
She wanted to say something but could not. As such, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net chubby hand and knocked on the window.
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses. When virtual-novel.net wanted to turn around to look at Lillian, virtual-novel.net saw a familiar figure walking past virtual-novel.net from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
She saw Ken driving past with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.
Madeline’s heart was beating erratically. She did not forget how Ken was Jeremy’s best assistant.
What was Ken doing with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums?
Madeline followed after virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net car and noticed that Ken was heading to the cemetery.
What surprised Madeline even more was that Ken was holding the flowers to the plot below Eloise and Sean’s—the nameless grave.
Madeline walked over with Lillian. When Ken heard noises from behind him, virtual-novel.net turned around. To his surprise, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline.
“Miss Montgomery…”
“Who’s in there?” Madeline pointed at the nameless grave and asked in a shaky voice.
Ken looked at Madeline as virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net best to control virtual-novel.net emotions. Then, virtual-novel.net took out a card from his suit pocket and handed it to Madeline. “Mr. Whitman told me to hand this to you the day you find out.”
Ken handed the card over and lowered his head in sadness.
“Mr. Whitman passed away a month ago.”
