Carter’s action was devoid of tenderness. He even looked a little brutal.
After Lillian was pushed away, virtual-novel.net looked at Carter with a look of loss on virtual-novel.net face.
Carter’s gaze darkened. “What are you looking at, huh? You can’t speak, so do your ears also not work? I said there’s none for you, don’t you understand?”
“Carter.” Shirley could not stand Carter’s attitude. “Carter, are you sick in the head? You’re a grown man and you’re bullying a little girl?”
Carter scoffed nonchalantly when virtual-novel.net heard Shirley scolding him.
“It’s virtual-novel.net fault that she’s Jeremy and Eveline’s child. You can’t blame me for that.” After saying that disdainfully, virtual-novel.net turned around and pushed Shirley’s wheelchair to the dining room.
Lillian sat on the sofa alone and silently stared at Carter and Shirley’s back She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to touch virtual-novel.net flat stomach.
‘Yeah, I’m a little hungry.’
‘Usually, Fabian will eat dinner with me at this time. But now, I can only go hungry.’
Lillian blinked virtual-novel.net clear, big eyes and thought to herself.
‘Who is this man? Why did virtual-novel.net bring me here? It seems like virtual-novel.net hates my mommy and daddy.’
There were a lot of questions in Lillian’s little brain. Dispirited, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net eyelids.
‘Mommy, Daddy. I miss Mommy, Daddy, and Jack.’
Shirley did not have the appetite to eat now. She looked at Carter who was eating mechanically, and then virtual-novel.net tidied virtual-novel.net cutleries and took some spaghetti and meatballs before turning virtual-novel.net wheelchair away.
“What are you doing?” Carter called out to her. “I told you she’s not allowed to eat.”
Shirley stopped virtual-novel.net wheelchair and did not turn around to look at Carter. “I’m already obeying you, but you still insist on hurting
this little girl.”
“Hurting? What kind of hurt is this? Will virtual-novel.net die without one or two meals?”
“She won’t, but what’s the difference between this and abuse?”
Shirley, no longer in the mood to argue with Carter, moved virtual-novel.net wheelchair to the living room.
When Lillian heard the noise, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net little head and saw Shirley coming over to her.
‘It seems that this woman doesn’t know how to walk, so she’s always sitting in this special chair. She also has a scar on virtual-novel.net face, but it’s not scary because virtual-novel.net smile is warm and friendly.’
“Lily, have some dinner…”
Shirley smiled and handed virtual-novel.net the plate and fork.
Lillian looked at the plate of spaghetti and meatballs. She did not know whether virtual-novel.net should take it or not.
“Go on, don’t be scared. I won’t hurt you.” Shirley comforted Lillian’s little soul and emotions. When virtual-novel.net saw Lillian hesitating to reach out, Shirley placed the plate and fork on the coffee table.
“Lily, you’ll stay with me in the next few days. You might not be used to this, but don’t worry, I will take care of you. If you don’t feel well, you tell me by writing on a piece of paper.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Shirley took out a piece of paper and a pen from the drawer of the coffee table and handed them to Lillian.
Lillian reached out for the paper and pen before lowering virtual-novel.net head to start writing.
