Carter roared out furiously and hung up.
Shirley did not know why virtual-novel.net was so angry, nor did virtual-novel.net know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring virtual-novel.net to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.
Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa. He furrowed his eyebrows, his face looked extremely distressed.
A while later, virtual-novel.net closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, virtual-novel.net recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.
Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.
Carter understood Shirley’s current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because virtual-novel.net could feel that in Shirley’s heart, virtual-novel.net was still very much present.
“I’m going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don’t go anywhere,” Carter informed and urged at the same time.
Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower body is paralyzed. Do you think I can still go out and travel the world?”
Carter could not help but furrow his brows when virtual-novel.net heard that.
He also knew that Shirley was purposely talking back at him. He did not care too, so instead, virtual-novel.net walked over to carry Shirley. Shirley had stopped resisting a long time ago, and instead, virtual-novel.net was like a lifeless puppet as virtual-novel.net allowed Carter to maneuver virtual-novel.net around.
Carter carried Shirley to the bed and placed the blanket on virtual-novel.net softly.
“I’ll be back soon.” He promised before turning around to leave.
Shirley looked in the direction of the door, and virtual-novel.net did not come back to virtual-novel.net senses after a long time. She believed that Carter had not merely gone out to buy daily necessities. There must be something else.

It was afternoon again. The sun was shining brightly on this pleasant day. It was rare for F Country to have such nice weather
during winter.
Fabian helped Lillian put on some warm clothes before carrying virtual-novel.net outside.
In City Park.
Although it was not a weekend, there were still a lot of people.
Fabian carried Lillian to the path that was covered in cobblestone before placing virtual-novel.net down gently.
“Lily, let’s start,” Fabian said, smiling gently.
Lillian lifted virtual-novel.net pure and adorable little face and grinned at Fabian. The adult and child then started walking on the path with less than one meter between them. Lillian was also used to this. Recently, Fabian has been taking virtual-novel.net out for some fresh air and sun every afternoon.
Even though it would only last for half an hour, it was already more than enough for Lillian.
Fabian would accompany virtual-novel.net for a walk, and after the walk, virtual-novel.net would take virtual-novel.net nearby for some simple shopping and buy virtual-novel.net gifts and snacks.
She was accustomed to this daily routine, and virtual-novel.net liked it.
From a distance, Carter wore a black suit and sunglasses as virtual-novel.net stood quietly in the dark, quietly observing the heart-warming scene on the cobblestone path. Carter could not help but burst out laughing when virtual-novel.net saw how Fabian was taking care of Lillian.
“Fabian, when I told you those things, I wanted to arouse the hatred in your heart to deal with Jeremy, instead of letting you take care of your enemy’s daughter so meticulously as you are now.”
Carter smiled irreverently. His tone sounded extremely ironic.
“Since you won’t do it, I’ll do it myself.”
