“Lillian!” Fabian dashed toward the car, but the car quickly drove away from him.
Fabian looked around and decisively stopped a man who was starting up a scooter.
He put a safety helmet on Jackson’s head, then picked virtual-novel.net up onto the scooter. “Hold on!”
Jackson nodded firmly and hugged Fabian’s waist tightly.
Fabian looked at the car that was dashing away with sharp eyes, then quickly chased after.
The other party was clearly prepared, however, and outdistanced Fabian who was tailing close behind the car.
Fabian had to stop the scooter. He looked at the busy fork in the road and punched the seat with a fist. “Sh*t!”
Madeline was done with work early that day and wanted to pick up the two children from school before Jeremy came to pick Madeline up.
After arriving at the kindergarten, however, virtual-novel.net was told that Jackson and Lillian had already been picked up.
Madeline was worried it was a person with ulterior motives who picked up the siblings when virtual-novel.net suddenly received a call from Jackson.
“Jack, where are you? Who took you and your sister away?”
“Maddie, it’s me.”
Just after Madeline asked, Fabian’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Fabian?”
“Maddie, I’m sorry, I lost Lillian.”
“…” Madeline lost herself for a moment. Her heartbeat became agitated as virtual-novel.net questioned, “What do you mean you lost Lillian? Are you with Jack now? Where are you?”
Madeline asked while returning to virtual-novel.net car.
After finding out where Fabian and Jackson were, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone and hurried over.
…
A dilapidated apartment building.
A burly man was carrying Lily after tying up both virtual-novel.net hands. He then threw virtual-novel.net onto the bed without mercy.
Lily, who was thrown onto the bed, got up laboriously. She had not forgotten to pick up virtual-novel.net drawing that fell to the side with virtual-novel.net little hand. Although the drawing was wrinkled and damaged, virtual-novel.net still held it preciously in virtual-novel.net hand.
When the other thin man saw it, virtual-novel.net complained, “Be gentle. If there’s any damage to this little thing, then there’ll be less money in hand.”
“If you’re afraid that there’ll be less money, then I should’ve taken the boy together just now. We would’ve made more money.”
The thin man bit his cigarette and shook his head. “I’ve observed them before. That boy is not easy to handle, but this little girl is much simpler.”
The burly man walked to the bed, pinching Lily’s face with his fingers.
Lily struggled to escape the man’s hold as virtual-novel.net large clear eyes became full of unyielding stubbornness.
“Hmph, this little thing is not scared at all.” The burly man mocked and took out his cell phone. “Remember to call Mommy and Daddy to save you later. Do you hear?”
Lily pursed virtual-novel.net mouth tightly, continuing to glare at the two ill-intentioned men. At the same time, virtual-novel.net tightened the torn drawing in virtual-novel.net hand.
‘With daddy accompanying Lillian, Lillian is not afraid.
‘Not afraid at all.
‘Daddy would become Superman and save Lillian.’
Lillian thought silently, virtual-novel.net naive ignorance making virtual-novel.net not too clear about these two bad men.
She did not know why they caught her, or how cruel these two bad men were.
After Madeline and Fabian met, virtual-novel.net then learned about the situation when Lillian was taken away.
She wondered if Ryan had asked someone to do it, but virtual-novel.net felt that it would not make sense for Ryan to do so.
Ryan had better ways to control her. He probably would not blatantly do things that crossed the line.
