Madeline’s heart pounded. If Carter saw her, snazzynovel.com and Lillian would not only be unable to leave but also face even more difficult troubles. She raised snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com back, Madeline did not dare to walk too fast. She was afraid that this would attract Carter’s attention, so snazzynovel.com had to keep walking at a normal speed.
Lillian very obediently buried snazzynovel.com little head between Madeline’s neck and remained motionless the whole time.
Although snazzynovel.com was still young, snazzynovel.com seemed to feel that snazzynovel.com mother was worried about something, so snazzynovel.com hugged Madeline even harder.
Madeline, who also felt Lillian’s movements, bowed snazzynovel.com head and softly comforted the cute little girl.
“Don‘t be afraid of Lily, I’m here.”
Lillian nodded snazzynovel.com little head lightly without making a sound.
The cold-faced Carter was carrying a lunch box as snazzynovel.com walked to the room. Earlier, snazzynovel.com went to at least five or six pharmacies, but none of them had the medicine Shirley wanted. In the end, snazzynovel.com felt that something was wrong, so snazzynovel.com looked it up on the Internet and found that the medicine Shirley mentioned did not exist.
She had lied to him!
Why did snazzynovel.com lie to him? Did snazzynovel.com want to distract snazzynovel.com so that snazzynovel.com could do something?
The more Carter thought about it, the more uneasy snazzynovel.com felt. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com increased his speed to walk to the room.
Madeline walked forward slowly, snazzynovel.com noticed that the footsteps behind snazzynovel.com suddenly got closer and became faster. She was a little uneasy, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com pace and running forward, Carter also quickened his pace immediately. When snazzynovel.com was passed by the hotel room door, snazzynovel.com turned his head and looked.
Madeline heard Carter’s footsteps getting closer, so snazzynovel.com hugged Lillian tightly.
“Eveline, you can’t run away.” Carter‘s nightmarish voice came from behind her.
Madeline pressed snazzynovel.com lips together tightly. No, now that things had reached this point, snazzynovel.com had to protect snazzynovel.com little princess, even if snazzynovel.com had to do snazzynovel.com best.
When snazzynovel.com spotted the fire escape ahead, Madeline turned and went in without hesitation. However, as soon as snazzynovel.com walked into the fire escape, an arm suddenly grabbed snazzynovel.com shoulders forcefully, and at the same time, a man also covered snazzynovel.com mouth with his palm before Madeline could let out any sound.
Carter saw Madeline entering the fire escape, so snazzynovel.com followed behind quickly.
However, upon entering, Carter somewhat hesitated. The corridor was so quiet, and snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com chose to chase up the stairs.
