The door of the apartment was locked from the outside.
She could not even open the door, so how could virtual-novel.net help Lillian leave?
Shirley sighed regretfully and turned to see Lillian blinking and looking at virtual-novel.net curiously. She looked at Lillian, and with a gentle smile, virtual-novel.net said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Lily. I can’t think of a way to send you home for the time being.”
Lillian understood what Shirley meant, and virtual-novel.net pressed virtual-novel.net lovely cherry blossom pink lips together into a sweet smile. She did not blame Shirley at all.
“By the way, Lily, do you remember your parents’ phone numbers? I can call your parents.”
Shirley asked, suddenly recalling the card Lillian had given virtual-novel.net earlier. The contact information of Lillian’s family member was on that card.
When virtual-novel.net remembered that Carter had thrown the card into the trash last night, Shirley immediately turned around and went to the trash can.
Unbothered by the filth, Shirley reached virtual-novel.net hand in and rummaged through the trash can. However, virtual-novel.net could not find the card.
Sure enough, virtual-novel.net had gotten rid of it long ago.
Carter was so meticulous, so how could virtual-novel.net not already know what virtual-novel.net would think?
Shirley reluctantly put down the trash can, and at this moment, Lillian handed Shirley a small note. Puzzled, Shirley took the note in virtual-novel.net hand and saw a phone number written on it.
Shirley suddenly showed a surprised smile. “Lily, you are awesome!”
Lillian curled virtual-novel.net adorable lips and smiled, revealing virtual-novel.net sweet dimple.
In fact, it was not that Lilian remembered Jeremy and Madeline’s numbers, the phone number on the paper belonged to Fabian. This was the number Fabian asked Lillian to memorize some time ago.
He was afraid that one day, Lillian might go missing and lose virtual-novel.net card. Considering that Lilian could not speak, if that happened, the number virtual-novel.net memorized in virtual-novel.net head would be useful.
Shirley had no cell phone initially, but then Carter gave virtual-novel.net one. However, virtual-novel.net also knew that virtual-novel.net definitely could not find the phone at the moment.
Fortunately, however, this apartment had a landline!
Shirley was worried that Carter had tampered with the landline too. She picked up the phone in a panic, and unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net found that there was nothing wrong with the landline!
At this moment, Fabian received a call. It was his good friend Evan who called him.
Evan told Fabian on the phone that a man named Carter had just met with virtual-novel.net and that they had discussed some things.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net just heard that Fabian was also looking for a person named Carter these two days. Therefore, virtual-novel.net wondered if this Carter was the one Fabian was looking for, and that was why virtual-novel.net called.
Upon hearing Evan’s description, Fabian was certain that the person Evan had just met with was Carter, so Fabian rushed over instantly.
As virtual-novel.net drove on the road, his phone rang again, but it was from an unfamiliar landline number. He picked it up without hesitation, then an unfamiliar woman’s voice came from the other end, and virtual-novel.net sounded very anxious.
“Are you Lillian’s family member?”
Fabian’s expression changed. “I am. Who is this?”
“Lillian is with me now. Please come over right now to pick virtual-novel.net up because virtual-novel.net might be in trouble if you’re too late! I’m in…”
On the other end of the phone, Shirley hurriedly reported the address of the apartment.
Fabian slammed on the brake. “Who are you? Why should I believe you? Put Lily on the phone.”
“She can’t speak.” Shirley glanced anxiously at Lillian, who was standing next to her.
“She can!” Fabian emphasized, “She can say ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’. Put virtual-novel.net on the phone. Now!”
Shirley looked at Lillian in surprise when virtual-novel.net heard that. She then handed the receiver to Lillian. “Lily, do you know how to talk? If you can, say ‘Mommy’ or ‘Daddy’ into the phone.”
Lillian understood what Shirley was asking virtual-novel.net to do. She took the receiver and then virtual-novel.net heard a familiar voice from the other end of the phone.
“Lily! Is that you, Lily? This is Fab. If you hear me, please say my name!”
