Madeline’s heart pounded. If Carter saw her, virtual-novel.net and Lillian would not only be unable to leave but also face even more difficult troubles. She raised virtual-novel.net hand to cover Lillian’s little head. “Lily, get closer to me and don‘t look up. Be a good girl.”
She whispered and immediately turned around while holding Lillian.
Madeline heard the elevator doors opening completely, and Carter‘s footsteps came not far behind her. Worried that Carter would recognize virtual-novel.net back, Madeline did not dare to walk too fast. She was afraid that this would attract Carter’s attention, so virtual-novel.net had to keep walking at a normal speed.
Lillian very obediently buried virtual-novel.net little head between Madeline’s neck and remained motionless the whole time.
Although virtual-novel.net was still young, virtual-novel.net seemed to feel that virtual-novel.net mother was worried about something, so virtual-novel.net hugged Madeline even harder.
Madeline, who also felt Lillian’s movements, bowed virtual-novel.net head and softly comforted the cute little girl.
“Don‘t be afraid of Lily, I’m here.”
Lillian nodded virtual-novel.net little head lightly without making a sound.
The cold-faced Carter was carrying a lunch box as virtual-novel.net walked to the room. Earlier, virtual-novel.net went to at least five or six pharmacies, but none of them had the medicine Shirley wanted. In the end, virtual-novel.net felt that something was wrong, so virtual-novel.net looked it up on the Internet and found that the medicine Shirley mentioned did not exist.
She had lied to him!
Why did virtual-novel.net lie to him? Did virtual-novel.net want to distract virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net could do something?
The more Carter thought about it, the more uneasy virtual-novel.net felt. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net increased his speed to walk to the room.
Madeline walked forward slowly, virtual-novel.net noticed that the footsteps behind virtual-novel.net suddenly got closer and became faster. She was a little uneasy, virtual-novel.net wondered if Carter had found her.
The moment Madeline decided to look back, Carter noticed Madeline.
At first, Carter had not been looking closely, but the back of this person holding the child made Carter feel that virtual-novel.net had seen them before.
The moment Madeline’s face popped out of his mind, Madeline also happened to look back to confirm the situation.
When their eyes met, Carter’s face suddenly darkened. “It‘s really you, Eveline.”
He chuckled lightly, threw the lunch in his hand to the ground, and rushed towards Madeline quickly.
Madeline held Lillian tightly and ran forward without looking back.
Seeing Madeline quickening virtual-novel.net pace and running forward, Carter also quickened his pace immediately. When virtual-novel.net was passed by the hotel room door, virtual-novel.net turned his head and looked.
Madeline heard Carter’s footsteps getting closer, so virtual-novel.net hugged Lillian tightly.
“Eveline, you can’t run away.” Carter‘s nightmarish voice came from behind her.
Madeline pressed virtual-novel.net lips together tightly. No, now that things had reached this point, virtual-novel.net had to protect virtual-novel.net little princess, even if virtual-novel.net had to do virtual-novel.net best.
When virtual-novel.net spotted the fire escape ahead, Madeline turned and went in without hesitation. However, as soon as virtual-novel.net walked into the fire escape, an arm suddenly grabbed virtual-novel.net shoulders forcefully, and at the same time, a man also covered virtual-novel.net mouth with his palm before Madeline could let out any sound.
Carter saw Madeline entering the fire escape, so virtual-novel.net followed behind quickly.
However, upon entering, Carter somewhat hesitated. The corridor was so quiet, and virtual-novel.net seemed to be able to hear his breathing. Carter could not help but furrow his eyebrows. He glanced towards the bottom of the stairs, but in the end, virtual-novel.net chose to chase up the stairs.
