“Didn’t you want to cut ties with us? Why are you still visiting my daughter then?” Madeline asked. “Fabian, can you tell me what kind of mentality you’re having right now?”
“What kind of mentality…” Fabian murmured in repetition. He tapped his cigarette with his finger lightly. The tip of the flickering cigarette turned into ashes that fell by the side of his feet silently.
“Heh.” Suddenly, virtual-novel.net laughed.
Madeline suddenly felt that the look in Fabian’s eyes had changed. His gaze now was filled with a kind of hostility.
“If I tell you I have a mentality for revenge, what would you say to that?”
Revenge.
That word was very serious.
Madeline frowned. “Are you going to take revenge on Jeremy and me? Do you think we’re the ones responsible for Yorick’s and Lana’s deaths?”
Fabian narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of disappointment in them.
“I thought we were friends this whole time, but eventually, I realized that I was just being used by you guys. Eveline Montgomery, we’re not friends anymore.”
Madeline was getting more and more confused as virtual-novel.net listened to him. She did not know why Fabian would think that all of a sudden.
“Fabian, I think there’s some misunderstanding between you and us.”
“It’s not a misunderstanding.” Fabian denied this decisively before continuing, “Eveline, from now on, we can only be enemies.”
When Madeline saw the decisiveness and firmness in Fabian’s eyes, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net did not need to explain too much.
“Alright, if you insist on thinking this way, then please go ahead. However, don’t approach my daughter, okay?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Fabian lifted his hand to take a drag on his cigarette.
“I think it’s hard for me to do that, Eveline.”
“Fabian, you—”
“Go look at your precious daughter. Watch out, something might happen if you’re not by virtual-novel.net side,” Fabian reminded virtual-novel.net profoundly.
Madeline’s expression changed. She immediately turned around and ran back.
‘Lily!’
‘Did Fabian deliberately lure me here?
‘Please don’t let anything happen to you, Lily!’
Madeline thought in virtual-novel.net heart. Her heartbeat became more and more frenetic along with virtual-novel.net footsteps.
When Jeremy arrived at the hospital, virtual-novel.net saw Madeline hurriedly running over before virtual-novel.net got to the door of the ward. He quickened the pace of his footsteps and sped toward Madeline. The two of them rushed over from both directions to the door of the ward.
“Linnie, what happened? Did something happen to Lily?” Jeremy’s face was filled with worry.
Madeline did not have time to explain the situation to him. She turned around and pushed the door open.
“Lily!” Madeline ran over while losing virtual-novel.net head out of fear. She saw that there was no one in bed. The nurse from just now was gone as well.
A cold chill surged from the bottom of virtual-novel.net feet, and Madeline felt as though every cell in virtual-novel.net body had turned cold.
“Lily… Lily is gone.” Madeline looked at the empty bed with a despondent look. Her eyes went red in that instant.
“Why did Fabian do this? Why? What do we have to do with Yorick’s and Lana’s deaths? Why does virtual-novel.net want to seek revenge on us?”
“Linie, what are you talking about? What happened to you?” Jeremy held Madeline’s shoulders in concern. He forced virtual-novel.net to look at him. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline’s teary and red eyes, his heart ached even more.
“Linnie, did you see Fabian just now? What did virtual-novel.net say to you?”
Madeline looked into Jeremy’s eyes with a lifeless look in virtual-novel.net eyes. When virtual-novel.net was about to say something, the nurse who had been watching Lillian just now appeared at the door. “Mrs. Whitman, what are you doing here?”
