After the phone had suddenly hung up twice, virtual-novel.net kept feeling that something had happened to Lillian. He thought in confusion as virtual-novel.net drove the car faster and faster. However, virtual-novel.net did not notice that a car had been following virtual-novel.net the entire time.
Approximately twenty minutes later, Fabian finally arrived at his destination.
The apartment building before virtual-novel.net was simply decorated, located in a relatively remote corner of the suburb. Some of the surveillance cameras in the road sections were old and damaged, so that was why virtual-novel.net had not been able to find this place before.
He quickly rushed to Unit 902 which Shirley mentioned, and then virtual-novel.net raised his hand to knock on the door.
“Lily, Lily, are you inside? This is Fab!” Fabian announced who virtual-novel.net was, but there was no response.
Anxious, Fabian knocked harder, but with such a force, the door in front of virtual-novel.net was pushed open.
The apartment door was not locked. Fabian pushed the door open and strode in.
“Lily!”
He shouted Lillian’s name, searching room after room, but virtual-novel.net found nothing in the end.
“Lily…”
Fabian dropped his eyes in disappointment, but suddenly a figure rushed into the doorway.
He immediately raised his head, “Li… Eveline?” Surprised, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline who came in hurriedly. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Madeline, however, did not pay any attention to Fabian. After coming in, virtual-novel.net searched room after room as Fabian had done, and virtual-novel.net expectant gaze was gradually replaced by a tinge of loss.
“Eveline, have you been following me?” Fabian finally realized.
Madeline took a deep breath in silence, then turned virtual-novel.net head.
“Yes, I’ve been following you,” Madeline answered very candidly, meeting Fabian’s puzzled look. “So, why are you here? Lily was originally here, wasn’t she?”
Fabian furrowed his eyebrows. “I think so.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Madeline asked.
Fabian looked at Madeline and frowned. “Not long ago, a woman called me and said that Lily is here. She told me to come here to pick Lily up. I did hear Lily’s voice, but the call hung up soon after.”
After listening to what Fabian said, Madeline quickly noticed the landline phone placed on the cabinet. She intuitively walked over and found that the telephone cord was unplugged. After reinstalling it, virtual-novel.net naturally pressed the redial button, and Fabian’s cell phone rang.
Fabian looked at the caller ID and glanced at Madeline. He was even more certain now.
“It seems that Lily was really here. It’s a bit messy here, and it looks like they left in a hurry.”
Madeline concluded and then virtual-novel.net looked around the apartment again. Soon, virtual-novel.net discovered a very cute hairband on the bed in the bedroom.
“I bought this for Lily two days ago,” Fabian said with certainty as virtual-novel.net looked at the hairband in Madeline’s hand. His expression also changed gradually.
“I’m going to talk to the manager of this apartment. I’ll ask them to show me the surveillance footage of the corridor. There should be some clues.”
As Fabian said that, virtual-novel.net started making calls to his connections.
Madeline looked at Fabian’s eyes that were filled with worry. She could feel his genuine concern toward Lillian.
After some time, Fabian got hold of the footage. The manager brought Madeline and Fabian to the surveillance room. After watching the footage from ten minutes ago, Madeline was shocked.
