Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1751
When Shirley heard the sound of footsteps, she knew Carter was here.
She knew she would not be able to hide at this moment, so she could only face him.
However, she still did not dare to show the ugly half of her face to the man she looked up to and admired. The
moment Carter appeared, she turned her body and hid her right cheek that was scarred so that Carter could not
see. She only allowed him to see her left cheek that still looked flawless, smooth, and charming.
As for her crippled legs, she could only continue sitting on the bed while pretending as if she was carefree.
Carter looked at Shirley who was sitting motionlessly on the bed and moved his long legs to take two steps closer to
the bed.
He noticed the coldness on Shirley’s face.
“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Carter questioned right after he opened his mouth. His tone sounded
extremely cold.
However, after he said that, his face gradually fell when he saw that Shirley was ignoring him.
“ Shirley,” he called out her name, his tone laced with anger that was on the verge of overflowing.
Cathy glanced at Shirley, and when she saw Carter trying to get close to Shirley, Cathy went up to stop him.
“Mr. Gray, Miss Brown doesn’t want to see you now. I hope you can respect her wishes.”
Carter was forced to stop in his tracks. His displeased gaze landed on Cathy’s face irreverently.
His eyes were suddenly filled with admiration.
“I never knew you were so courageous back when we were in St. Piaf Academy. However, you were in St. Piaf for
so long, so you should know me quite well. Are you sure you want to challenge my prestige?”
Carter’s words sounded like he was warning Cathy.
However, Cathy was not scared and she did not cower at all.
She looked into Carter’s icy and piercing gaze before saying calmly, “Mr. Gray, I hope you know that this is not St.
Piaf but Glendale. This is also not your house.”
“Heh. Interesting, ” Carter smiled and uttered unenthusiastically. However, his gaze changed and he looked like he
was going to take action.
Adam rushed to the door of the room with wounds on his face. When he saw something amiss with Carter’s
expression, he realized that Cathy must be in danger. He immediately rushed over to stop the man.
However, he heard Shirley saying something after only taking a few steps.
“Mr. Gray, please get out of my house.”
The coldness in Carter’s eyes and his action of lifting his hand froze the moment he heard what Shirley said.
‘Mr. Gray?’
He could not believe that he just heard Shirley calling him that.
However, that voice indeed belonged to Shirley.
Carter furrowed his long eyebrows and lifted his eyes that were as deep as the sea to look at Shirley who was
leaning on the bed. She only had the side of her face turned toward him.
”What did you just say?” Carter asked in disbelief.
Shirley remained seated. She said coldly,” I said, please get out of my house, Mr. Gray. Also, I hope that you won’t
come over ever again.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1752
Shirley sounded very decisive.
Carter seemed to be stumped for words for a while. Then, he tugged the corners of his lips.
“Shirley, do you know what you’re saying?”
“I do. I know what I said,” Shirley answered slowly without even lifting her beautiful eyes. “I’ve thought it through,
and I won’t let you manipulate me like an idiot. We were just using each other anyway, Mr. Gray. You used me to
reach your goals, and to be honest, I was also just using you.”
When Carter heard this answer, he felt as if he had heard a huge joke.
“You were using me?” He scoffed and asked, “What were you using me for?”
“You still can’t tell what I was using you for?” Shirley asked. The corner of her red lip that looked slightly pale was
lifted in a disdainful smile.
“The first time I met you, I knew you could give me a life of luxury and the best education.
“I was just pretending to be pitiful to gain pity from you and Camille. I wanted you guys to keep me in Gray Manor, I
wanted to make you reluctant to have me leave. I wanted you to plead with camille yourself so that I could stay to
become your playmate and study buddy.”
“Hmph. ” As Shirley said that, she chuckled while feeling pleased with herself. “Carter, I’m very good at acting,
right? You must have thought that I was so in love with you and I couldn’t live without you so I would be willing to do
anything for you, right?
You’re wrong. We were just using each other. I was only pretending when I was with you, and now, this is the true
colors of Shirley Brown.”
After hearing what Shirley said, Carter did not have the previous look of anger on his face anymore.
He looked at Shirley who had never once looked at him since he entered and eventually asked after a long while,
“Are you sure you’re telling the truth?”
“Of course, ” Shirley answered decisively. The corners of her beautiful eyes were slightly lifted as she scanned
Carter’s face coldly.
“ If not, why do you think I stopped contacting you for so long and even came back to live here? You should see
now that I’ve sorted things out with my brother. I’m bored of the game between you and me, so that’s why I didn’t
bother contacting you.”
Carter thought his heart was strong and it was able to conquer everything. However, when Shirley’s decisive words
pierced his eardrums, he felt as if an invisible dagger was piercing through where his heart was.
This feeling reminded him of when Shirley had left without telling him.
Back then, she had left so decisively.
Now that he thought about it, she really did not love him and that was why she could cruelly leave without any
reluctance.
Carter’s expression and gaze froze.
“Shirley, you’re something else, ” he mocked with a light chuckle. “You’d better pray that I won’t see you again. If
not, I’ll make you pay for using me. ”
After he warned her, his icy gaze scanned Shirley’s disdainful face.
When he turned around and saw Adam glaring at him, he gave him the same warning.
“It’s best if you don’t meddle in Jeremy Whitman’s business. If not, both of you will suffer the consequences.”
After Carter said that, he strode away. When he walked past Adam, it seemed that he used all of his might to bump
into Adam’s shoulder.
Adam was caught off guard and crashed into the doorframe after stumbling backward.
“Adam.” Cathy quickly ran to Adam. When she saw the wounds on his face, she knew that Adam had put his life on
the line to fight with Carter to stop him. However, an elegant gentleman like Adam would never be able to defeat a
man who had been trained and knew how to fight.
“Adam, are you okay? Your wounds… I should treat your wounds for you.” Cathy looked at Adam in concern.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. ” Adam comforted Cathy. When he was about to say something to Shirley, he
suddenly heard a muffled thud coming from the side of the bed.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1753
Cathy and Adam looked at the source of the sound and were shocked by what they saw.
Shirley had fallen from the bed once again and it was obvious that she did it on purpose.
She could not walk, so she could only crawl. She was now crawling to the balcony.
When Adam saw this, he would be lying if he said he was not sad.
It was his sister, so he could not ignore her.
He strode to Shirley who was dragging the lower half of her body to crawl forward, reaching out to pull her up.
“Shirley, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Adam angrily rebuked her. His emotional and angry yells only
reflected how worried and concerned he was about her.
However, Shirley did not listen to him. She forcefully pulled Adam’s hand away and stared straight at him with eyes
that had turned red unbeknownst to them.
“Let me go! Adam, are you so naive to think that I was telling the truth just now? I haven’t made up with you nor do
I think of this place as my home. Also, I’ve never once thought of you as my brother! Let me go immediately! ”
When Adam heard this, he looked at the emotional and tearful Shirley with disappointment in his eyes.
“Do you like that man so much? You like him so much that you can throw away your dignity and self-respect, huh?
Alright, go! Crawl to him like the good-for-nothing you are! ”
Adam clenched his fists, and under Shirley’s intense provocation, he let go of his hand.
Shirley fell to the cold hard floor once again. Cathy did not expect that Adam would really let go of his hand. When
she wanted to go help Shirley up, it was already too late.
Shirley, who had fallen on the floor, frowned in pain but she did not make a sound. She continued to crawl to the
balcony.
Her beautiful and charming eyes were filled with sparkling tears.
However, how could she match up with Carter’s walking speed when she was crawling?
Before Shirley could crawl to the balcony, she heard the familiar sound of the engine from downstairs.
She knew it was the sound of Carter leaving in his car.
She figured that she might not be able to see this man again, hence Shirley gritted her teeth and used all of her
might to crawl forward. When she got to the balcony, she saw that familiar sports car speeding away from the
corners of her teary eyes.
Carter…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
Shirley clenched her fists and watched as Carter’s car drove farther away. Her tears eventually fell drop by drop on
the back of her hands.
“Heh, hehe, hahaha…”
Shirley lowered her head and started laughing at herself.
Her laughter reverberated amid the cold and biting snow and wind, sounding extremely mournful.
Carter sped all the way back to the manor.
The moment he went through the door, he saw Camille sitting upright and still on the sofa in front of him.
“You went to see her again.” It seemed that Camille knew this well and had seen through everything. “ Carter, don’t
forget what you want. Are you seriously going to neglect your bright future for that woman?”
It was rare that Camille would talk to Carter in such a solemn manner.
“This is the last time, ” Carter promised. “From now on, I won’t go and see her again.”
“Good.” Camille was satisfied. Then, she said seriously, “Carter, I know you’re exceptional and you have dreams
and aspirations. The future and prosperity of St. Piaf’s royalty depend on you.”
When Carter heard this, doubts appeared on his face.
Camille rarely talked to him about this. She had even mentioned previously that she did not want her son to
participate in the fight among the royalty. However, she was taking the initiative to bring this up now.
There must be a reason for this.
“Carter, I’ve found a suitable candidate to be your viscountess. Not only do you know this person, but you also know
her very well.
” I hope your wedding will go smoothly this time. ”
While Camille said that, she gestured to the butler to hand the tablet over to Carter.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1754
Carter took the tablet and had a look. When he saw the photo on the screen, his eyes were filled with shock. It
seemed that he could not believe what he was seeing.
“You want me to marry her?” Carter looked at Camille in suspicion.
Camille nodded firmly. “She’s the most suitable candidate for now, Carter. You’re someone who’s going to achieve
great things, so I don’t want you to be driven by your emotions and let a woman affect your bright future.”
Carter looked at the photo on the screen with intense disgust in his heart. However, when he suddenly remembered
what Shirley had said, he suddenly laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll focus on my career from now on. No woman will be able to affect my mood anymore.”
“Good.” Camille stood up and turned her head to order the butler, “Go and prepare for Mr. Carter’s marriage. It has
to be grand, and I want to let everyone in St. Piaf witness that moment.”
“Understood, Madam,” the butler replied and was about to go make preparations.
“Wait.” Carter stopped him.
Camille looked at Carter. “Are you not happy with my suggestion or arrangement?”
“I want the wedding to be held in Glendale,” Carter voiced what he was thinking in his heart.
“Here?”
“I want it to be in the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.”
“However, you have a special identity in St. Piaf. This wedding will not just be a wedding, it’s more o f a contest, ”
Camille said earnestly. However, she did not force Carter. Instead, she softened her tone.
“Can you tell me why?” “Jeremy Whitman.”
Carter said those two words without any hesitation.
Camille pondered for a few seconds and then nodded. “We’ll just do it your way, then. We’ll have the wedding in the
most luxurious hotel in Glendale.”
She promised and looked at the butler. “Go, we must make it look honorable and grand.”
The butler nodded and answered, “I will not disappoint you, Madam.”
After Camille and the butler left, Carter stood where he was with the tablet still in his hand.
The screen had already darkened, so he lifted his long and thin fingers to lightly tap on it.
The photo that appeared in front of him caused him to feel more resentful.
He threw the tablet on the sofa and walked to the laboratory in the basement.
He looked at the anti-toxoid test reagents that were arranged neatly on the rack. Ultimately, he chose one of the
anti-toxoid test reagents.
“Shirley, do you think my plan can’t go on if I don’t have you? I was just using you this whole time.”
He murmured to himself. He was saying that so carefreely, but somehow, a strong unconvinced feeling was
disrupting his thoughts.
Hospital.
It was finally sunny.
Even after more than a month of treatment, Lillian’s health was not getting any better. She was still sick.
Lillian would react strongly to every injection. She would feel sick and throw up too.
At the same time, the little princess’ black and soft hair kept falling. Eventually, the doctor suggested that she cut
all of her hair.
Even though Lillian could not speak, she understood everything.
Although she would not have hair now, she could still grow it out after she recovered. Her hair would never be as
important as her health.
On a bright and sunny afternoon, Madeline carried the little princess to the sofa on the balcony.
When she was just about to sunbathe with her child, the nurse who usually took care of Lillian came to see
Madeline. She said the doctor needed to tell Madeline something.
Madeline figured that it was about Lillian’s condition, so she did not hesitate. After asking the nurse to take care of
Lillian, she went to the doctor’s office. After Madeline left, the nurse took out her phone to call a number. “Mrs.
Whitman has left and Lillian is alone in the ward. You can come now.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1755
After the person on the other end of the phone received this call, they hung up without saying anything.
The nurse was curious. When she was wondering if she had been scammed, she received notification on her phone
that she had received an impressive sum of money.
The nurse was delighted because she could buy the bag she had been eyeing for a long time now.
Then, she placed all of Lillian’s medical records on the table according to the order she received from the person
who transferred her the money. After she did all of that, she closed the door and left.
Less than a minute after she left, a tall and upright figure appeared at the door of the ward.
The man did not hesitate before pushing the door open and walking into the ward.
After Madeline left, Lillian stopped paying attention to what was going on inside the ward. She
was sitting on the sofa on the balcony, as quiet as a delicate doll as she looked out at the scenery.
However, when she heard someone pushing the door open and coming in, she turned her tiny body to look over.
Fabian’s approaching footsteps slowed down when Lillian looked over to him.
He was wearing a brown coat and a face mask. He had a bouquet of powder blue baby breaths in his hands. In his
other hand, he was carrying a glass jar and inside the jar were colorful candies.
Lillian looked at Fabian and blinked her bright, huge eyes.
She supported herself using the sofa to stand up. However, since she had been receiving daily injections, she was
very weak. It was very difficult for her to stand up.
Fabian could tell what Lillian was thinking, so he quickly recomposed himself and walked in front of Lillian.
When Lillian saw Fabian suddenly approaching her, she lifted her little head and looked straight into Fabian’s eyes.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she still could not utter a word.
Fabian frowned and squatted slowly to hand the bouquet to Lillian.
Lillian loved baby breaths, so she slowly lifted her tiny hands to gently hold the bouquet Fabian was giving her out of
kind intentions.
She wanted to say thank you but she realized that her throat could not sound out those two words.
Lillian lowered her eyelids in desolation. Her curly eyelashes were fluttering up and down, like tiny blades slicing
across Fabian’s heart again and again.
He was heartbroken.
He also had this feeling the first time he met Lillian.
Back then, it was because he had seen Felipe using such a small child. When he saved Lillian, the heartache he felt
had come naturally.
Now, this heartache was not only instinctive but perhaps it was also laced with apology.
The reason Lillian became like this had to do with his sister, Lana.
When he saw that Lillian looked a little dejected, Fabian handed the jar of candies over to her.
Lillian wanted to take it but she shook her head, pointing to the cabinet in the ward.
Fabian understood and walked over to the cabinet to pull the drawer open. He saw the jars of candies that he had
given her over the past month inside.
Yes, she was sick, so she could not eat such sweet candies. He had handpicked all of the ingredients to make the
candies just so she could eat them, even making them himself. They were all handmade without preservatives.
However, he understood.
Fabian turned around and saw Lillian looking at him with wide clear eyes. He felt his heart warming up, and then, he
walked to the table to pick up the records the nurse had placed there.
Actually, he had been paying attention to Lillian’s situation in secret.
However, when he finally saw Lillian’s medical records and the state she was in after going for treatment every day
with his own eyes, he could not help but grasp the stack of records tightly.
He knew he did not have much time here and Madeline would be back soon. He did not want to delay this anymore
either.
Fabian quickly walked back to Lillian and lifted his hand to caress her head.
However, after removing the red hat on Lillian’s head, to his astonishment, he realized that Lillian did not have hair
anymore. Fabian was lost for words. His hand that was holding the hat was frozen in mid-air.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1756
When Lilian saw Fabian at a loss for words, she avoided Fabian’s gaze, hurt evident in her eyes. She then reached
out to take the hat and gently put it back on.
In a daze, Fabian gradually gathered his wandering thoughts. At this moment, he made the final decision.
“Lily.”
He finally spoke, his solemn eyes looking straight into Lillian’s melancholic, big eyes.
“Lily, do you want to come with me?”
Fabian asked gently but his tone betrayed urgency. He was worried that Madeline would soon return.
Lillian, not understanding what Fabian meant, only blinked and looked at him.
“Lily, I’ll bring you somewhere that could heal you. You’ll be able to get better quickly, then you can talk just like
how you could back then.”
Lillian vaguely understood what Fabian meant this
time. She blinked her clear eyes and her pink lips moved to speak. “Daddy. Mommy.”
Daddy. Mommy.
Those were the only two words that Lillian could utter now.
Fabian understood how Lillian felt. She wanted her father and mother.
He gave a gentle smile as he stroked Lillian’s small face. “Lily, do you trust me? I will love you and protect you just
like your daddy and mommy. I will take care of you forever.
“Trust me.”
Fabian firmly promised, then suddenly opened his arms to carry the confused-looking Lillian.
Although Lillian was still small, she could recognize Fabian with certainty.
She knew that he had good intentions. He had never bullied her before. Sometimes, he would even show up to
protect her.
However, she was confused with the current circumstance and incapable of asking.
Madeline was confused when she came out of the doctor’s office.
The doctor had said that he did not look for her. Lillian’s condition currently neither improved nor worsened, so
there was nothing important he wanted to discuss with Madeline.
However, the nurse who cared for Lillian daily had told Madeline that the doctor was looking for her.
Madeline found this odd, so she hastened her steps back to the hospital room. She had expected the nurse to be
taking care of Lillian, but Madeline saw that the door was agape and there was no one inside.
There was only an out-of-place bouquet of powder blue baby’s breaths on the balcony sofa.
Madeline immediately understood. She instantly turned and ran to the elevator.
The moment she was a distance away from the elevator, she saw a tall man carrying Lillian into the elevator.
“Lily!”
Madeline hurriedly ran over, but unfortunately, the door of the elevator automatically closed.
This was the seventh floor, and it was a hassle waiting for the hospital elevator. Madeline had no choice. She ran
toward the staircase and sprinted to the hospital entrance.
It was an extremely cold winter day, but Madeline was now drenched in sweat.
She examined each car leaving the parking lot, trying to see if Lillian was in any of them. As the cars drove by,
however, she still could not find any sign of Lillian.
In between her moments of panic, Madeline remembered the GPS.
She opened the application on her phone and immediately located Lillian. She was on the road next to the hospital
entrance.
Madeline dashed over and indeed found Lillian, who was being carried into a car by a man. “Lily!”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1757
Lillian and Fabian heard Madeline shout.
They looked in Madeline’s direction at the same time; Lillian leaned toward Madeline but Fabian was holding her
tightly.
“Let go of my daughter! ” Madeline bellowed at Fabian while she comforted Lillian. “Don’t be scared, Lily. I’m
coming over to you now.”
However, Fabian, not heeding Madeline’s words, opened the car door and got in quickly, Lillian in his arms.
“Lily! Lily!”
Madeline repeatedly yelled, but the car had already begun to drive away. She was too late to stop it.
Since she could use the GPS to track Lillian’s location, Madeline ran back to the parking lot and got into her car to
give chase.
Although she had never driven this fast in her life, she was completely in control of the steering wheel.
Madeline rapidly caught up with the car that Lilian was in.
Fabian was in the backseat with Lillian in his arms. Through the rearview mirror, he could see that Madeline’s car
was right behind them.
“Speed it up when it’s safe to do so, ” Fabian ordered the driver.
“Yes, Young Master Fabian, ” Fabian’s attendant answered.
“Mommy.”
Lillian suddenly called out to her mother.
Fabian turned and saw that Lillian’s adorable eyebrows were furrowed as she stared, through the glass window of
the back of the car, at Madeline’s car that was closing in behind them.
It seemed that she could recognize her mother’s car.
Fabian was heartbroken, but he remained firm on his decision.
He raised his head, caressing Lillian’s head through her hat. “Lily, trust me. I’ll definitely cure you, then I’ll take you
back to see your daddy, mommy, and brother.”
While Lillian understood what Fabian said, her clear and bright eyes were still filled with melancholy.
Fabian turned and looked back, seeing Madeline’s car was still close behind them.
He asked his attendant who was driving to make a turn and speed up, successfully losing Madeline.
Soon after, Madeline’s car reappeared in the rearview mirror.
Fabian found this odd, but then noticed the red string around Lillian’s neck.
“Lily, can you let me see your red string?” Fabian asked for Lillian’s consent.
Lilly blinked, then put her small hands on the red string, gently taking the pendant down.
It was a crystalline jadeite. While miniature, the jadeite was extraordinarily refined and in the shape of Lillian’s
horoscope —a vivid and realistic crab just the size of an average fingernail.
Fabian carefully examined it and finally found a tiny GPS tracking device at the bottom of the crab.
He then understood how Madeline was able to accurately follow them. This was the reason.
“Continue to speed up, and turn left,” Fabian ordered the attendant who was driving.
Madeline was following the car in front of her closely when she saw the car suddenly speeding up and making a
turn.
When Fabian saw that Madeline also sped up, he slowly removed the chip that was attached to Lillian’s jadeite and
rolled down the window of the car.
“Lily, there’s something dirty on the surface. Let me throw it away for you.”
After he said that, he put his hand outside the window and loosened his grip.
The tiny chip was instantly lost to the wind.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1758
Madeline was about to turn at the next junction to stop Fabian’s car, but at that moment, the location of the red
dot on her phone abruptly changed.
It should have been moving forward, but it suddenly moved back before stopping.
In that instance, Madeline did not know if she should go forward or turn back around.
However, she did not have time to think. She quickly turned her steering wheel and drove to the location where the
red dot had stopped at.
The location, however, was in the middle of the road where cars came and went.
The cars criss-crossed on the road, yet the red dot never moved.
Madeline then understood. Someone had disposed of the GPS on Lilian.
She watched the bustling street. It was a rare sunny day in winter, yet a gloom came over her, darkening
everything she saw.
“Lily.”
Madeline murmured Lillian’s name, feeling extremely helpless.
After Jeremy got the call from Madeline, he rushed to her as fast as he could.
Madeline was sitting by the flowerbed near where Lillian’s tracker had stopped, staring blankly, dejected.
Jeremy was extremely worried at the sight of Madeline’s state.
“Linnie.”
He softly called out to her and sat down next to her, then gently grabbed her hand, comforting her.
“Linnie, don’t worry. The person who abducted Lily must have a purpose, so she won’t be in danger temporarily.”
“Not ‘temporarily’. She’s certainly not in any danger, ” Madeline corrected. “The person who abducted Lily is
Fabian.”
“Fabian?”
“Yes, I’m sure it’s him.” Madeline sounded certain. When she realized Lillian was missing, she was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanxious but not frantic. She did notice the powder blue baby’s breaths on the sofa and the candy jar.
Aside from Fabian, no one else would secretly give Lillian flowers and candies like this.
“If it truly was Fabian, then we don’t have to worry. He would never hurt Lily.” Jeremy was very relieved. He was
certain that Fabian would not do anything to hurt Lillian as well.
However, Madeline let out a dejected and long sigh, anxiously slapping her forehead. “What on earth is he trying to
do? If he indeed thinks that we were related to Lana and Yorick’s death, he can come at us. Why is he bothering
Lily?”
“Lily…”
“Yes, I know he’s not malicious, and he’s been great to Lily, but she’s sick now. The child is sick, and it’s no ordinary
illness. She needs constant treatment. What on earth does Fabian intend to do by abducting Lily now?”
Madeline was extremely fretful. As she spoke, her eyes grew wet, and hot tears dripped onto the back of Jeremy’s
hand.
An ache started to burn in Jeremy’s heart.
He grabbed Madeline’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms, giving her warmth and comfort.
“Linnie, don’t be sad. I promise that I’ll bring Lily back to you.”
Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s chest and let her tears flow. “I know. I know you’ll bring our daughter back home.
I know…”
“Yeah, there’s no need to cry now.” Jeremy reached out to wipe away Madeline’s tears, then lowered his head to
kiss her wet cheek.
“Trust me. Lillian will be back to us soon.” “Okay.”
Madeline sobbed and responded. At this moment, her phone in her bag started to vibrate, and Madeline’s intuition
told her that it was from Fabian.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1759
Madeline took out her phone and indeed saw Fabian’s name on the screen.
He had now unblocked her number just to make this call.
Madeline’s finger trembled, then she immediately picked up the call.
“Fabian, where did you take Lily? You bring her back right now!” Madeline’s tone was frantic, and it was clear how
worried she was presently.
Of course, Fabian had already anticipated Madeline’s mood. However, his tone was extraordinarily calm.
“Mrs. Whitman, I know you’re worried about your precious daughter. I’m calling you just to tell you that she’s safe.
You don’ t need to worry. Nothing will happen to her.”
Fabian’s tone sounded abnormally distant; his promise and guarantee only made Madeline anxious.
“Fabian, I don’t need you to tell me that she’s safe.
I only want to see my daughter with my own eyes. My daughter will truly be fine when she’s with me. ”
On the other end of the line, Fabian stayed silent for some time, then said, “If that’s the case, I am afraid I will
only disappoint you then.”
Madeline froze when she heard that. “What do you mean?”
“Am I not making myself clear?” Fabian asked, his question heavy with implication, then suddenly called out
Madeline’s name affectionately, “ Eveline.”
“…” Madeline was lost for words and momentarily dazed.
Back when she became friends with Fabian, he would call her name in that joking tone of his.
It sounded affectionate to her back then, but now, it sounded completely different.
“Eveline, could you tell me whether you can turn back time once something has happened?” Fabian asked
meaningfully.
Fabian immediately followed with his answer.
“It doesn’t matter if something had happened or if someone had died. None of them could ever return.”
Madeline’s head hurt when she heard this. She no longer knew how to answer Fabian.
Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s phone and, facing the screen, impatiently and angrily asked his question.
“Fabian, what are you trying to say? Lana and Yorick only had themselves to blame for their deaths. However, if you
insist on blaming their deaths on us, then you can come at us. Lily is just a child! Bring her back right now! ”
When Fabian heard Jeremy’s angry words, he lowered his head to look at Lillian who was sound asleep, leaning
against his arms, then looked at the scenery outside the window of the plane, a firm look flashed in his eyes.
“The view in Glendale isn’t bad, but this will be the last time I’ll be here.”
Fabian left them with four final words. “We’ll never meet again.”
Beep beep beep.
His voice fell, then the phone line disconnected. All that remained was the busy tone.
When Jeremy tried returning the call, Fabian’s phone status was already turned off.
“Jeremy, what should we do now? What on earth did Fabian intend to achieve by abducting Lily?” Madeline was
gradually losing her head.
Jeremy comforted Madeline. “Linnie, I’ll go get the camera footage by the road now. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, get it quickly then! Hurry! ” Madeline said incoherently as she kept nodding.
Jeremy was worried and heartbroken seeing Madeline in this state.
It felt as if this world had never been kind to this woman. Her body and mind had been under constant torment in
the past and the present.
He only hoped that, in the future, her life would only have peace and bliss.
Jeremy then contacted the people from the relevant departments and obtained the camera footage back until the
point when Fabian had left the hospital.
After following Fabian’s travel route, Jeremy finally found the place where Fabian and Lillian had gotten out of the
car in the end.
It could be said that this place was within his expectations.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1760
It was the Glendale Airport.
Based on Fabian’s words earlier, Jeremy had a feeling that Fabian might leave Glendale with Lillian.
As he predicted, after checking the flight, he found out that Fabian had got on a chartered plane that
flew from Glendale to F Country.
The plane just took off five minutes ago.
It was impossible to stop a plane, so Jeremy could only book the next plane ticket to F Country immediately. In the
meantime, he also contacted his colleagues from Interpol, hoping that they would stop Fabian at the airport.
Once Madeline knew about this, she wanted to go to F Country with Jeremy.
Jeremy knew he could not say no to Madeline, so together, they waited for their flight at the airport.
The closest flight was in three hours. There was little else they could do apart from waiting.
However, two hours later, Jeremy received a call from his Interpol colleague in F Country. The person told him that
the chartered plane under Fabian’s name had just landed in F Country, but Fabian himself was not on the plane.
He did not take this plane to F Country! That was just a ruse!
Madeline and Jeremy were suddenly at a loss on
how to go about this. They had not expected Fabian to play this trick on them.
In the next few days, Jeremy went all out to look for Fabian’s whereabouts, but Fabian was extremely well hidden.
He left not a single trace behind.
Winter was eventually replaced by spring, yet there was still no trace of Fabian and Lillian.
During a quiet afternoon, Madeline watched her youngest son who was learning to walk. She should be feeling
happy, but when she recalled that her little princess was still missing, she felt as if a piece of her heart was missing,
leaving her incomplete.
“Why are you staring into space here, Eveline?” Eloise suddenly appeared behind Madeline.
Madeline returned to her senses and looked at her mother who had not recovered, then felt another wave of
heartache.
Even now, Madeline’s mother still could not recognize that Eveline, the precious daughter that Eloise longed for,
was Madeline.
Madeline thought silently, then quickly got rid of her melancholic and negative emotions, smiling at Eloise.
“I’m playing with Pudding.”
Eloise looked at Pudding and asked curiously, “Why is Pudding the only one here? Where’s Jack and Lily? Say, it’s
been a long time since I saw Lily.”
The mention of Lily at this moment made Madeline feel a tug at her heart, but she could only keep on smiling.
“Lily is playing somewhere with a friend of mine. She’ll be back after a while.”
“How long a while?” Eloise asked bluntly.
Tears pricked the corners of Madeline’s eyes as she could not control her emotions any further. “ I… I don’t know.”
“How could you not know? Aren’t you Lily’s mother?”
Madeline was momentarily speechless. Her eyes were already red.
Yes, she was Lillian’s mother.
She had lost her daughter, and as a mother, she could hardly be free from blame.
Upon seeing Madeline crying, Eloise furrowed her thin eyebrows, her heart suddenly started to feel heavy. “Why are
you crying? Here, a tissue for you.”
When Madeline saw the tissue Eloise handed her, Madeline further lost control, and tears flowed from her eyes.
“I’ve failed as a mother, ” she blamed herself. “Back then, I didn’t manage to care for Jack properly, causing him to
suffer so much when he was so little. Now, it’s Lily’s turn. Someone abducted her before my eyes, yet I couldn’t
stop it in time.”
Madeline grabbed Eloise’s hand as she spoke, losing control of her emotions.
“Mom, tell me. What on earth do I have to do to become a passable, decent mother?”
