Jeremy was about to react when his orbs suddenly reflected the transparent liquid that was flowing into his body.
He was unaware of the liquid, but virtual-novel.net noticed Madeline looking very tense.
Besides, virtual-novel.net was feeling an icy sensation that went into his bones. It started from his arms and slowly spread to every part of his body. After the cold sensation was gone, what followed was a painful sensation taking over his body.
It was very uncomfortable.
Jeremy kept himself still and endured the pain. Seeing that Madeline was about to get up after completing the injection, virtual-novel.net quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Nevertheless, his mind was all jammed up.
He was puzzled at the liquid Madeline injected virtual-novel.net with. He was even more curious as to the reason Madeline did it only when virtual-novel.net was asleep.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net was willing to accept it even if it turned out to be poison.
He had let virtual-novel.net down multiple times. He could comprehend it if virtual-novel.net happened to still bear a grudge against him.
Madeline stood aside, keeping an eye on Jeremy’s reaction. Seeing that virtual-novel.net was still sound asleep, virtual-novel.net felt relieved.
‘Looks like the reagent is safe to use. At the very least, there are no side effects.’
She strolled over to Jeremy and tried to call out to him, “Jeremy.”
The man continued pretending to be asleep.
Madeline picked up a blanket to cover Jeremy and gently touched virtual-novel.net on the face.
‘Jeremy, I’m willing to pay any price as long as I can get the poison out of your body.”
…
Lillian was hospitalized for a week for observation. After that, virtual-novel.net was brought back to Whitman Manor by Jeremy and Madeline.
Madeline noticed virtual-novel.net daughter could mingle around with anyone except for Jeremy. Whenever Jeremy made an appearance before her, virtual-novel.net would either shake virtual-novel.net head or hide behind Madeline.
Despite the little girl being unable to speak, Madeline could still understand what was going on in virtual-novel.net mind. She guessed that perhaps Lillian was hurt by Jeremy’s previous cold attitude toward her.
Jeremy could not do anything as well. He could not blame anyone but himself.
Fabian was always attempting to get further information about Lillian’s wellbeing. He had been to the hospital and Whitman Manor but always spotted Jeremy beside Lillian.
He dared not approach her. Finally, this time, Jeremy had gone out to run an errand. He brought a bouquet that was made of cups of yogurt and sneaked his way into Whitman Manor.
Lillian was sitting on a small bench, fully focusing on eating virtual-novel.net cherry. Her big pair of teary eyes were staring straight ahead.
Fabian immediately went over when virtual-novel.net saw the servant taking care of Lillian entering the house.
“Lillian,” virtual-novel.net called out softly, and Lillian suddenly raised virtual-novel.net big eyes.
However, as soon as Lillian saw that it was Fabian who showed up, virtual-novel.net expression turned for the worst. The plate on virtual-novel.net hand suddenly dropped to the floor with a clang as the cherries scattered all over.
“What’s wrong, Lillian? It’s me, Mr. White Hair.” Fabian was puzzled by Lillian’s reaction, but virtual-novel.net could see that Lillian was rejecting him.
“Lillian?”
Lillian shook virtual-novel.net head and spun around, virtual-novel.net little body making its way into the house.
She was running too hurriedly, so with a thud, virtual-novel.net fell on the green field.
Fabian quickly ran over and carried her. “Lillian, are you hurt?”
He asked, looking worried. However, Lillian kept struggling with all virtual-novel.net might and let out a disgruntled sound.
Karen heard the commotion and ran out, out to see that Fabian was carrying Lillian. She picked up a broom from beside and flung it toward Fabian.
“Who are you? Quickly put down my granddaughter! How dare you sneak into my house and kidnap my kid?!” Karen was infuriated as virtual-novel.net roared at Fabian.
Fabian wanted to explain, but Karen started smacking virtual-novel.net mercilessly.
Fabian placed Lillian down to prevent Karen from injuring her.
As soon as Lillian’s feet touched the ground, virtual-novel.net quickly shoved Fabian away and ran to Karen.
Heartbroken, Karen carried the child. “Oh my dear sweetheart, don’t be scared. I’m right here.” She comforted, but virtual-novel.net was still glaring at Fabian at the same time. “Why aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want me to report you to the cops and have them arrest you, you human trafficker?”
‘Human trafficker?’
Fabian felt helpless, but virtual-novel.net could not blame virtual-novel.net for misunderstanding him.
Previously, virtual-novel.net used to carry Lillian and the little girl would welcome him. She would even take the initiative to come to virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net accord.
