Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1761
“How… to be a passable mother…”
Madeline’s question seemed to stumped Eloise.
Eloise stared straight at Madeline’s tearful face. As she looked at Madeline, Eloise suddenly started to shake her
head repeatedly; her expression also gradually changed.
“I am not a passable mother. I’m not. I’ve mistaken a bad woman as my precious daughter, and I’ve caused my
Eveline to be vilified and tormented. I’m not a passable mother. I am not worthy to be a mother. I’m not worthy. Not
worthy…”
Eloise rejected herself, blaming herself with fierce intensity.
Madeline only then realized that the question she had asked during her emotional breakdown had triggered Eloise.
She rushed to hold Eloise’s shoulders to comfort her. “Mom, there’s no need to get worked up.
You’re a good mother. You are a passable mother in Eveline’s heart.”
“No, I’m not a good mother, that’s why Eveline hates me. She hates me. She doesn’t want me as her mother, and
she doesn’t want Sean as a father as well. Sean and I are not worthy to be Eveline’s parents. Ah…”
Eloise yelled as she broke down and suddenly pushed Madeline away as she ran out the main entrance.
“Mom!”
Eveline hurriedly chased after her.
However, she turned back after taking two steps. Coincidentally, a maid was passing by, and Madeline pointed at
Pudding who was chuckling at himself in a silly manner. “Watch Pudding for me.
I’ll be back soon! You must keep a close eye on him! ”
When the maid saw Madeline’s hurried look, she earnestly nodded. “I will watch him closely. Don’t worry, Ma’am.”
“Pudding, listen to her. I’ll be back soon!” Madeline said to her confused son, then dashed in the direction in which
Eloise had run toward. As Madeline ran, she called out to Eloise, “Mom!”
However, it did not seem that Eloise heard
Madeline’s call. If she did, she might not know that Madeline was calling her.
Eloise ran straight on, passing a few streets.
Due to her nervous breakdown, she ignored the traffic lights. Quite a few cars had to brake urgently just to avoid
her.
Madeline’s heart leaped when she saw this.
She blamed herself. How could she show such negative emotions to Eloise?
Now, Eloise was triggered into recalling the unhappy, painful memories, and Madeline was not faultless in this.
Eloise continued running a few red lights as she crossed the streets. Madeline, who was chasing behind her,
apologized to the drivers, who were cursing at Eloise, as she ran.
Jeremy was on the way home when he noticed that i t was slightly congested up ahead on the road.
Oblivious to what had transpired, he subconsciously lifted his eyes and saw Madeline, a hurried look on her face,
standing in the road apologizing to everyone.
“Linnie?”
Jeremy found this odd, so he surveyed his surroundings and, with a fair bit of difficulty,
parked the car by the roadside, surrounded by cars.
He urgently called Madeline. While the call went through, the person who picked up the phone was Karen, who
sounded quite frantic.
“The maid said that Eveline ran out looking hurried. Eloise is gone too. I don’t know what happened as well.”
Even though Jeremy did not know what exactly had happened, after listening to Karen, he could roughly surmise
that Madeline was searching for Eloise.
When he saw that the cars ahead of him were moving, Jeremy paid close attention to the direction in which
Madeline had run while he turned the steering wheel, quickly and decisively weaved through the cars on the
bustling street, then parked his car by the roadside without obstructing the traffic. He then swiftly ran in Madeline’s
direction.
Madeline had never known that Eloise could run with such speed. The trigger might have brought out her latent
potential.
Madeline’s only thought was to catch up with Eloise who was recklessly running, causing Madeline to completely
miss the rock under her foot.
When she finally noticed it and tried avoiding it, she had already stepped on it.
Madeline fell to the ground. She tried standing back up but realized that there was a debilitating pain in her right
ankle. Her bones hurt with every movement; it seemed that her ankle was twisted.
She looked around her and felt lucky that this was not the busy street from earlier. Otherwise, she would have been
hit by a car.
Eloise heard Madeline yelping in pain, and she abruptly stopped running.
She turned and saw Madeline sitting in the middle of the road.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1762
Eloise took notice, paying attention to the expression on Madeline’s face; her eyebrows on her delicate, graceful
face were tightly furrowed.
Eloise felt her heart tightened for some reason. “Eveline…”
She looked at Madeline and quietly muttered this name.
When Madeline saw that Eloise had finally stopped, she was overjoyed.
“Mom, stop running. I can’t chase you any further.” Madeline, enduring the pain in her twisted ankle, smiled warmly
at Eloise.
As she spoke, she supported herself with her arm, trying to stand up.
Jeremy hurriedly ran over from one side, just in time to see Madeline sitting in the middle of the road, trying to get
up.
“Linnie.”
Without thinking, he ran toward Madeline’s position.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a huge truck was speeding out from a junction and heading toward them.
The truck driver, not expecting anyone to be sitting in the middle of the road, was driving at a high speed. When he
saw the stationary Madeline, the driver honked furiously.
Madeline was doing her best to stand when she heard the truck’s honks. She only then noticed that a huge truck
was speeding toward her from her side.
If she did not stand and get out of the way, it would run into her in mere seconds.
In this moment of life or death, Madeline saw Eloise running toward her, and at the same time, an anxious scream
followed. “Eveline…”
Although Eloise would also normally call her Eveline, this time, Madeline felt that something was different.
She was distracted, then she finally remembered her current situation.
“Mom, don’t come over! ” Madeline yelled at Eloise.
However, Eloise seemed to turn a deaf ear and ran even faster toward Madeline.
Madeline looked at the truck that was about to run into her. She used all her might, enduring the pain, using her
arm to support herself into standing.
At this moment, she felt a familiar warmth behind her and, at the same time, a pair of strong arms holding her.
Madeline turned her head in disbelief and saw Jeremy’s worried face.
“Jeremy.”
“Linnie, are you okay?”
“I…” Madeline was about to explain, but she remembered the truck, and effortfully pushed Jeremy away. “Jeremy,
get out of the way! The truck’s about to run into us! ”
As Madeline’s voice fell, Eloise’s powerful voice immediately followed.
“Stop!”
Eloise spoke with a commanding voice.
Madeline then heard the truck breaking urgently. She turned and saw the truck stopping
approximately two meters away from her and Jeremy. Meanwhile, Eloise was standing but centimetres away from
the truck; head raised, chest puffed up, and arms wide open as she stopped the truck.
Madeline was shocked by Elois’s actions, and so too was Jeremy.
Madeline surveyed the scene before her, her back covered in a layer of cold sweat. She could not imagine what
would happen if the truck did not stop in time.
She looked at Eloise’s unyielding figure, and the corners of her eyes turned hot against her volition.
“Mom.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1763
Eloise was vehemently glaring at the driver when she heard a sudden call from behind.
She was staring blankly ahead, then her gaze instantly softened.
Eloise turned around abruptly and sped toward Madeline.
Eloise, still very emotional, reached out her hand to touch Madeline’s cheek. “Eveline, how are you? Are you okay?
How’s your leg? Let me see.”
Eloise squatted as she spoke, reaching out her hand, gently touching Madeline’s twisted ankle. It
was clear that Madeline’s ankle was red and swollen.
“Are all of you sick in the head? If you want to reminisce, go home! Don’t get in the way of my delivery! ” snapped
the truck driver, his head poking out from the window.
Jeremy lifted his cold, stern eyes. “Do you think you’re still in the right when you’re the one speeding? Someone
had clearly fallen on the road, yet not only did you not stop, but you continued to speed. Do you want your license
to get revoked?”
Looking at Jeremy’s cold, steadfast, handsome face, the truck driver immediately realized that this was not
someone he could afford to offend. After all, he was indeed speeding, and he would be in trouble if they were to
investigate this. He then turned his steering wheel and timidly drove away.
Madeline looked at Jeremy, feeling glad that he showed up just in time.
She then noticed that Eloise was still examining her wounds, so Madeline bent down and held Eloise’s hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mom, I’m fine. Get up now, quickly. We’ll head home.”
“How can you be fine? It’s so swollen!” Eloise’s expression showed that she was very worried and very stern.
“Jeremy, where is your car? Take Eveline to the hospital now. It’s no small issue if she broke her bones.”
Jeremy nodded as he heard that. “ I’ll get Linnie to the nearest hospital now.”
As he spoke, he swooped Madeline into a bridal carry.
Eloise followed closely behind.
However, before they could go far, Madeline forcefully tugged Jeremy’s collar.
“Jeremy, wait.”
She called out to Jeremy.
Jeremy, who was very compliant with Madeline, then stopped.
“What’s wrong, Linnie?” he asked hesitantly.
Madeline and Jeremy looked into each other’s eyes, and a light shone in her beautiful eyes.
She shifted her gaze toward Eloise who was following closely behind, then her heart started to race.
Jeremy seemed to suddenly understand.
However, Eloise was confused. She quickly walked toward Jeremy and Madeline with a concerned and anxious look
on her face.
“Jeremy, why are you stopping? You must quickly take Eveline to the hospital. What are we going to do if we were
to miss the best time to treat her and thus leave her with permanent damage with long- lasting effects? Hurry up,
go!”
Eloise ordered sternly.
Madeline pressed her lips together as warmth spread around the corners of her eyes.
However, she reined back her emotions and lifted her head to look at Jeremy. “Jeremy, listen to mom. We’ll go to
the hospital first.”
“Okay.” Jeremy, who would naturally listen to Madeline, quickly walked toward the location of his parked car,
Madeline in his arms.
It just so happened that there was a hospital nearby that specializes in orthopedics.
When they arrived at the hospital, Eloise immediately went to help Madeline with the registration.
Since it was the evening, there were not many people, so Madeline was able to quickly meet with a doctor.
After examining Madeline, the doctor confirmed that it was merely a common ligament tear.
Although it was not serious, they could not be careless about it.
After treating the injury, the doctor then permitted Jeremy to leave with Madeline.
When Jeremy was picking up Madeline to leave, Eloise, still worried, went to the doctor. “Doctor, is my daughter’s
leg fine? Will there be any permanent effect?”
“Don’t worry, madam. If your daughter recuperates properly, she’ll definitely recover.”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1764
With the doctor’s confirmation, Eloise was finally more at ease.
Upon seeing this scene, Madeline asked Jeremy to put her down.
Eloise too walked quickly toward Madeline with loving eyes and a smile on her face.
“Thankfully it won’t be much of a problem. I was truly scared just now. Let’s go home now.”
Madeline gave Eloise an earnest look and smiled. “ Mom.”
Eloise nodded at that. “Yes, Eveline. Let’s go home now.”
“Mom,” Madeline called out again.
Eloise was about to respond when she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
The smile on her face froze, and her expression too was dazed.
It seemed that, at this moment, she realized it.
She stared straight at Madeline, tears moistened her eyes without her noticing. Eloise only spoke a while later; her
voice was soft, trembling slightly.
“Eveline…”
Madeline’s eyes misted over with tears as well.
She looked into Eloise’s kind and gentle eyes and nodded slightly. “Mom, I’m Eveline. The Eveline you’ve been
thinking about day and night.”
After Madeline’s voice fell, Eloise burst into tears.
Unable to hold back her feelings presently, she pulled Madeline into a hug.
Madeline held Eloise, leaning against Eloise’s embrace, feeling secure.
“Eveline, my child. I’m so sorry.”
Eloise apologized sincerely. Her speech and expression no longer seemed childish and dazed as they had been
before.
She had returned to her normal mental state.
It had happened when, just as the truck was about to run into Madeline, Eloise instinctively stepped forward to stop
the truck. This meant that her mind had been clear of other thoughts, thereby awakening the long-dormant
consciousness.
Madeline felt her heart tightened when she heard Eloise apologizing to her.
“Mom, you didn’t wrong me. It’s all in the past now.”
“No, I’m truly not a good mother. I’ve caused my precious daughter so many years of suffering without realizing it.
During the period when I had been dazed, I’d already understood. That was the reason I was in that state. It’s all
because I felt remorseful.”
Eloise blamed herself, then slowly released her embrace.
When she saw the tears on Madeline’s face, Eloise quickly reached out her hand and gently wiped them away.
“Eveline, you’ve suffered much these days, and you’ve suffered many grievances. I haven’t been able to help or
take care of you. It’s such a pity.
You’re all grown up, yet your father and I have never doted on you. Although you’re married now, and you have a
family and children, in my heart, you’ll always be my little princess.”
The more Eloise spoke, the more tears fell from her eyes, the more her voice trembled, and the greater the guilt
she felt toward Madeline.
“Eveline, could you truly forgive your mom and dad?”
Madeline smiled in relief and reached out her hand to wipe away the tears on Eloise’s face.
“I’ve already let go of those things, so please forget them as well. I know I’m the most important person in your
hearts.”
Eloise had wanted to control her emotions and stop crying, but when she heard Madeline’s words, she wanted to
cry even more.
Jeremy stood at a side, feeling touched as well.
He could truly empathize with Eloise completely now.
However, he no longer had those negative feelings for a long time. He knew that she had already forgiven her, but
sometimes, when he recalled what had happened, he would still feel ashamed and blame himself.
After comforting Eloise, the three of them went home.
The sky had gradually darkened. Karen, worried about Madeline and Eloise, had been waiting by the main entrance
this whole time. Finally, she saw Jeremy’s car and immediately went to meet them.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1765
Under the darkness of the night, Karen relied on the streetlights to see the people in the car, the sight of which
immediately made her feel much more at ease.
Jeremy was the first to get out of the car after they parked. He then walked toward the backseat and opened the
door, then carried Madeline out of the car.
When Karen saw this, she could not help but worry.
She quickly walked toward Madeline who was being held by Jeremy. When she saw Madeline’s wet, red, and swollen
eyes, she got even more worried. “ What happened? Eveline, are you feeling unwell?”
Madeline smiled at that, shaking her head. “Don’t worry about me, mom. I’m fine. I’ve just twisted my ankle. I’ll be
fine after resting for a few days.”
When Karen heard that, she was even more worried. “How did you twist your ankle? How did it happen? Are you
sure you’ll be fine after a few days?”
“Yes, definitely, ” Madeline said with certainty,
nodding. “You can ask Jeremy if you don’t believe me.”
Jeremy chimed in cooperatively when he heard that. “She’ll recover if she recuperates properly. No need to be too
worried.”
“That’s good then.” Karen was only relieved then. Suddenly, she remembered something. “Where’s Eloise? The
maid said you were chasing Eloise.
Where is she now? Why did she suddenly run out on her own?”
“I’m here, Karen.”
Eloise’s voice sounded from the other side of the backseat.
Karen lifted her head to look over. When she saw Eloise walking toward her with a smile, Karen quickly walked over.
“Eloise, why did you run out suddenly? I’d only gone to the toilet and you disobediently ran out to play. Do you
know that it’s dangerous if there’s no one with you? Don’t do this again next time.”
Karen scolded Eloise as if she was lecturing a child.
She did not know that Eloise’s mental state had already recovered just a while ago.
Meanwhile, listening to Karen’s earnest scolding,
Eloise nodded and promised seriously and obediently. “I know. I won’t make you guys worry about me from now
on.”
“Good.” Satisfied, Karen smiled, then grabbed Eloise’s hand. “Let’s head into the house then. Sean and the others
should be home soon as well. It’s nearly dinner time.”
Karen held Eloise’s hand as she walked toward the house. However, after taking two steps, Karen still felt that
something was amiss.
She looked at Eloise with curiosity and seriousness. “Eloise, it seems that you’re speaking much more normally than
before.”
When Eloise heard this, a smile appeared on her graceful face.
“Are you saying that I didn’t sound normal back then, Karen?”
“ ” When Karen heard that, she abruptly stopped in her tracks, and the look in her eyes changed. “ Eloise, you…”
Karen was evidently puzzled, especially when she saw the calm and serious look on Eloise’s face.
This look could only be seen on a normal person who was also a refined and elegant woman.
“Eveline, Eveline, do you think that your mother seems a little odd?” Karen turned her head to ask Madeline. She
then asked Jeremy again, “Jeremy, what do you think? Eloise’s tone sounds different from before.”
Jeremy and Madeline shared a look and smile, then he said, “Of course it’s different. She’s already recovered.”
‘Recovered? ‘Recovered!’
Jeremy’s words went through Karen’s ears, and only after a while, Karen could register the unbelievable news.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1766
Karen looked at Eloise who was smiling at her softly in shock. After a while, she grabbed Eloise’s hand in surprise
once again.
“Really? Eloise, have you really recovered? Do you remember what happened back then? Do you recognize Eveline
now?”
If it were back then, Eloise would not believe that a woman who had been so against her would be so concerned
about her one day.
However, during the days they spent together, she had truly felt Karen’s kindness and friendliness.
Eloise tightly grabbed Karen’s hand back and her beautiful eyes were glistening with tears.
“Yeah, I recognize my daughter, Eveline. And I remember what happened back then. I also remember how you
didn’t mind and cared for me in every possible way when I lost my mind and was so foolish.
“If you hadn’t taken care of me during this period, I might not have recovered at all.”
“Eloise, I’m so thankful for you and I want to apologize to you. Back then, we were always at each other’s throats
which led to a lot of conflicts between us. I’m so sorry.”
Eloise thanked Karen sincerely and also apologized to her earnestly.
After Karen heard what Eloise said, tears started pricking at the corners of her eyes. She wanted to cry but she
waved her hands with a smile. She sobbed and said, “Hey, I was so headstrong back then too. I was so insufferably
snobbish because I was relying on the fact that I’m the rich madam of the number one rich family in Glendale.
“Come to think of it, we can’t blame each other for this. It’s all because of that evil Meredith and her cruel parents.
That family caused us so much trouble.”
“ If it weren’t for them, we would’ve been in-laws even sooner. Eveline and Jeremy would’ve gotten together way
before this.”
Eloise did not deny that the main culprit for this was that evil family, but she knew she was at fault as well.
She was at fault for not being able to tell right from wrong. She was at fault for believing everything Meredith told
her. Even if the truth was right in front of her, she still chose to believe Meredith.
However, at the end of the day, the reason she trusted Meredith so much back then was because of the love she
had for the precious baby daughter whom she lost for so many years.
Sean and Winston came home half an hour later.
After knowing that Eloise had recovered and gone back to her previous mental state, Sean was feeling extremely
emotional inside even though he did not show too many emotions on the surface.
Eloise poured him some red wine and said gently and affectionately, “Thank you for all your hard work during this
period. I’ll try my best not to make you worry about me next time.”
Sean looked at the gentleness and tenderness in Eloise’s eyes, answering firmly, “You’re my wife, so it’s my job to
be worried about you and help you carry some of your burdens.”
Madeline was listening at one side, and her heart was filled with gladness.
Back then, she felt that Sean and Eloise had a great relationship. At the same time, it was proven that age did not
matter when it came to love. It would not fade away with the flow of time either.
The moonlight was tranquil at night.
Madeline sat and leaned against the bed while Jeremy squatted at one side to apply ointment to her ankle.
“Linnie, is it still hurting?”
“No,” Madeline smiled and answered.
When Jeremy heard Madeline’s answer, he felt even more heartbroken.
She was too eager to be well and act strong. She would not make a sound even if she was in pain.
“Linnie, I know you’re worried about Lily. Even though we don’t know where our child is, we can at least be assured
that Fabian won’t do anything to hurt Lily.” “I know.” Madeline was sure about this too. “ However, Lily’s illness… I
really don’t understand why Fabian wanted to abduct Lily. The people he hates are us but why did he abduct a little
girl who he won’t hurt or seek revenge on?”
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1767
Jeremy abruptly stopped applying the ointment.
Actually, it had been so long and he still did not understand Fabian’s actions.
However, he was sure that Fabian had gotten some news from somewhere that led to him suddenly resisting them.
Perhaps, that person had given Fabian false news that was detrimental to Jeremy and Madeline.
However, even though Fabian was still young, Jeremy thought that he was not someone who was brainless and
would be easily manipulated by others.
“Linnie.” Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hands softly and got up to sit next to her. He pulled her into his arms. “Linnie,
after we raise the kids, I want to find a suburb that’s near the mountain and the ocean so that we can finally live a
life with just the two of us.”
Jeremy voiced the wonderful expectation in his heart. He was planning for this happy and blissful future while
sincerely working hard to realize it.
Meanwhile, he also hoped that Madeline would be able to forget her troubles at this moment.
Madeline gently leaned her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and closed her eyes while feeling deeply immersed at
this moment. Then, she sighed long and hard in silence.
“That day will come. ” She was hoping for that as well. She was longing for the children to grow up healthily and
happily so that they were able to take a step back from their role as parents.
However…
Madeline slowly opened her eyes that had reddened. ‘But Lily, where are you?
‘Where should I look for you? Are you okay?’
F Country.
Inside a small secluded detached villa.
A young and handsome doctor in a white coat had just finished examining Lillian.
He looked at Fabian who was accompanying her and walked toward the door.
Meanwhile, Fabian walked to the side of the bed and gently caressed Lillian’s warm cheek. “Lily, I’m going out for a
bit.”
He said softly and put a soft toy in Lillian’s hand.
Lillian gently held the soft toy and nodded at Fabian obediently while looking at him.
Fabian smiled slightly before turning around to walk out.
Actually, he had gone back to F Country. However, the chartered plane was just a ruse. He purposely spread the
information about this so that Jeremy and Madeline would track him.
In reality, he never boarded that plane. Instead, he took Lillian on a normal flight back to F Country.
“Evan, ” Fabian called out to the young doctor. “ How is she?”
The doctor named Evan furrowed his thick eyebrows. “Her condition doesn’t look too good. It’s going to be difficult
treating her.”
Fabian’s heart sank and he almost could not control his emotions. “How is that possible? Her condition has always
been stable.
“You’re a top student who graduated from the best medical university in the world and you specialize in treating
leukemia in children. If you think this is difficult, who else can I go to?”
When Evan saw Fabian looking extremely worried and uneasy, he turned his head to look at Lillian who was holding
her soft toy in bed.
“Fabian, who is this little girl? Why are you so worried about her?”
When Fabian heard this, his expression changed. However, he changed the topic. “You don’t have to worry about
who she is. At the end of the day, you have to treat her no matter what.”
“You’re just forcing me to do something against my will now.” Dr. Evan shrugged with a troubled expression on his
face.
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1768
“How is it difficult? Every child that you’ve treated has recovered!”
“Yes, but those children are lucky. I don’t know if she’ll be lucky as well.” Evan softly raised his eyebrow and there
was a troubled look on his handsome face.
“Fabian, after my examination, I’m sure that her previous doctor has misdiagnosed this little girl.”
“Misdiagnosis?” Fabian’s heart started racing, and there was an expectant look in his eyes. “You mean that Lily is
not sick at all?”
“No. ” Evan’s expression looked more solemn now. “ She’s sick, and it’s even more serious than what was
diagnosed before. This is why she hasn’t gotten any better after all this while.”
Fabian did not know what to say to that. He felt as if his heart had been split open and there was a bone- chilling
coldness that spread to his limbs.
He felt dazed, but he still remembered what he wanted to ask. However, his tone sounded weak when he spoke.
“What are we going to do now? Is she still curable?”
“Yes,” Evan gave Fabian an affirmative answer. However, he quickly added, “The condition is that you have to find a
suitable bone marrow for her to undergo a transplant.”
Bone marrow transplant!
Even though Fabian was not a professional, he knew how difficult it was to find a suitable bone marrow for a
transplant.
There was hope, but it was so small.
“Right, it seems that the girl can’t speak?” Evan asked curiously. “After examining her so many times, aside from
blinking and smiling, she has never said a single word.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Evan mentioned this, aside from feeling sorry for Lillian, Fabian felt even more remorse and uneasiness.
Even though he was not the reason Lillian had become like this, Lana was his sister, after all. He was still somewhat
responsible. Plus, he needed to shoulder this responsibility.
“Please arrange for this immediately. I want to find a suitable bone marrow for this child as soon as possible.
However, you can’ t be too public about this,” Fabian requested while feeling helpless.
“You don’t want the child’s parents to find her after knowing this, do you?” Evan guessed what Fabian was thinking
about in his heart.
Fabian did not answer. He reminded Evan once more to do it as soon as possible before turning around to go back
to his bedroom.
When he looked at the adorable and pure Lillian who was like an angel, Fabian felt some discomfort.
He walked in front of Lillian and caressed her little head before promising her, “Lily, I promised I’d treat you and I
will. Are you willing to trust me?”
Lillian blinked her clear big eyes and nodded.
Even if she could not speak, she was already showing her trust for Fabian through her eyes.
Fabian was glad, but at the same time, his heart was aching for Lillian.
After he asked the maid to watch over Lillian, he came to the study alone.
Even after switching on the lights in the study, Fabian still felt that his vision and heart were extremely dark.
He sat down in front of his desk and turned on his laptop. Then, he opened a folder, and inside the folder were
notes that looked like a diary. The one who had written these notes was his brother, Yorick.
Fabian had read these words multiple times and could even recite them from memory now.
However, he would still read them every day to remind himself what he should do.
Later, he searched for Madeline and Jeremy’s photos on his laptop. When he saw the photos, the look in his eyes
changed.
“I didn’t expect that we’d become enemies.”
His tone was cold and indifferent, but at the same time, it was laced with some remorse.
After he said that, his phone started vibrating. When he saw who the caller was, he slowly picked up the phone…
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1769
A cold and deep masculine voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
“You’ve already had his daughter for a while so why aren’t there any updates? Don’t you want to seek revenge on
behalf of your siblings?”
Fabian frowned after he heard that. A look of indignation appeared on his youthful and handsome face.
“I don’t need to tell you whatever I’m doing,” Fabian said in dissatisfaction.
“But the only reason you know about the truth of your siblings’ deaths is because of me.
“Fabian, even though your sister was not a pitiful person, she was still your sister. As for Yorick, you know very well
how he treated you. Do you want the people who caused them to die to continue to live in this world freely?
“Now that this child is with you, it’s your best chance to retaliate against them. Don’t hesitate. You’re just giving
Jeremy opportunities if you hesitate.”
The man was hinting at something through his words. At the same time, his tone sounded like a spell that was
playing with Fabian’s emotions.
After the man said that, he hung up the phone decisively.
Fabian threw his phone at the desk, and his eyes went back to the computer screen in front of him.
He read the words Yorick had written and clenched his fists. His expression gradually turned more solemn.
A few minutes later, he suddenly grabbed his phone to call Evan. “You don’t have to look for a suitable bone
marrow anymore.”
“What?” On the other end of the call, Evan was puzzled.
However, he did not get an answer from Fabian even after a long while.
“Fabian, are you there? What do you mean by that? Are you planning to give up on this little girl?”
Evan asked, feeling doubtful.
Ten seconds later, Evan heard Fabian’s emotionless answer.
“Let her illness run its course on her. You don’t have to deal with this anymore.”
After he said this heartless and cold statement, Fabian hurriedly hung up the phone. He was scared that Evan would
ask him for the reason.
However, who could he tell the reason to?
After struggling with his thoughts, Fabian went to Lillian’s bedroom.
The maid, who just left the room, told Fabian that Lillian had just fallen asleep.
After Fabian asked the maid to leave, he quietly and slowly walked next to Lillian’s bed.
He saw her naive and innocent sleeping face. He still remembered the first time he had met her.
What an adorable little girl.
That was the first time he thought that children could be so adorable and delightful.
He still remembered how Lillian had innocently kissed him back then.
People around him had even mocked him, saying that he lost his first kiss.
However, that was not his first kiss.
She was just a naive and innocent little girl. She did not know anything.
Fabian unconsciously tugged the corners of his lips into a smile. However, the next second, he remembered Yorick.
The gentleness in his eyes immediately disappeared. The smile on the corner of his lips was gone as well.
“Lillian Whitman, I’m sorry I have to disappoint you although you’ve shown your trust in me.”
Since Madeline could not find Lillian during this period, she decided to project her worry into her work.
She knew it would be useless for her to be anxious, but as a mother, she could not help herself.
She had locked herself in her lab to blend fragrances. When she felt sleepy in the afternoon, she sat on the sofa to
rest her eyes. While she was drifting in and out of sleep, she vaguely heard someone calling her ‘Mommy’.
Madeline instinctively reached out her hand to grab the air in front of her. “Lily.”
”Mommy, I’m here.” The little princess’ soft voice sounded from in front of her.

Madeline felt the corners of her eyes turning hot from emotions. She had not heard this child talk in so long.
Now, she finally heard her talking again. That sweet voice was so clear and melodic.
Madeline saw a small figure in front of her and it was Lillian’s silhouette.
Madeline reached out her hand to grab Lillian and she finally grabbed a hand. However, she suddenly jolted awake
and what came into her vision was Jeremy’s handsome face that was filled with worry.
“Linnie, did you have a dream about Lily?” Jeremy approached her and asked gently.
Madeline looked at her clenched fist and came back to her senses.
The happiness she felt just earlier immediately turned into endless disappointment.
“Yeah, I had a dream about her. I heard her talking to me too and she wanted me to go look for her.”
“Linnie…”
Knock, knock, knock.
When Jeremy was about to ask Madeline more questions, they heard someone knocking on the door of the lab.
The secretary pushed the door open and came in. She reported, “Mr. Whitman, Ms. Montgomery, someone named
Carter Gray wants to see you.”
‘Carter is here?’
Jeremy and Madeline subconsciously started to be more alert.
This person surely had not come in peace.
Madeline recomposed her emotions and arrived at the reception room with Jeremy.
Carter was wearing a high-end limited edition custom-made suit, looking elegant and gentle.
However, when they thought about what he had done back then, the description seemed to have nothing to do with
him.
When Carter saw Madeline and Jeremy walking over, he lifted the corners of his lips into a superficial smile before
handing them the invitation card in his hand.
“I’m here to give this invitation to you two. I’m going to hold my wedding ceremony in the most luxurious six-star
hotel under Whitman Corporation this Saturday.”
Carter had a smile on his face as he continued.
“Since we know each other, it means that we’ve been brought together by fate. I hope you two can come to my
wedding. Please ask the staff of the hotel to give me their best service, Mr. Whitman.”
There were a lot of industries under Whitman Corporation. Jeremy did not know why Carter chose his hotel for his
wedding ceremony and he also did not expect that Carter was able to find another woman to marry him in such a
short period.
However, Jeremy was sure that the woman was not Shirley.
“Thank you for your acknowledgment of the hotel my company is managing, Mr. Gray. The hotel staff will act
accordingly. As for your wedding, my wife and I—”
“We’ll be there on time.”
When Jeremy was about to reject Carter, Madeline interrupted him and accepted the invitation from Carter.
Madeline took Carter’s invitation and displayed a fake smile. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now, Mr. Gray.”
Carter chuckled at Madeline’s perfunctory attitude.
“Yes, I don’t have anything else to say. However, I heard that you’re in some sort of kerfuffle recently. Your
daughter has been kidnapped, right?”
After Lillian was kidnapped by Fabian, Jeremy had been using a lot of platforms to get news on Lillian and Fabian.
Hence, it was not surprising that Carter would have heard about this.
Even though Madeline was bothered by this, she would not show her weakness in front of someone who was
deliberately doing this just to see her embarrass herself.
She curled her pink lips and said calmly.
“Yes, such a thing has happened. However, it’s our issue, so we’ll take care of it. You don’t have to worry, Mr. Gray.”
Carter admired Madeline’s calm demeanor.
He looked at Madeline with a faint smile and knew she was actually very anxious deep down.
“You don’t have to be so against me. Perhaps I can provide you with information about the location of your precious
daughter?”
