Upon hearing what Carter said, Jeremy’s sharp brows suddenly raised. He looked at the cutie in Fabian’s arms at the moment.
When they saw Jeremy’s gaze and action, Madeline and Fabian simultaneously felt that something must be wrong. Amidst their puzzlement, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to hang up.
Madeline walked to Jeremy’s side. “Jeremy, who was that? Did something happen?”
Jeremy lowered his eyes and caught sight of the worry in Madeline’s eyes. At that moment, snazzynovel.com hesitated whether snazzynovel.com should tell snazzynovel.com or not.
Madeline also noticed Jeremy‘s peculiar behavior, so snazzynovel.com asked, “Jeremy, what’s the matter?”
Jeremy did not want Madeline to worry too much, but snazzynovel.com figured this was how so many misunderstandings between them were caused in the past, so this time, snazzynovel.com no longer chose to hide it.
“The pink spots on Lily’s body aren’t from skin diseases. They’re manmade,” Jeremy explained to Madeline in a calm tone, but his brows were twisted into a knot.
“What?”
“Manmade?”
Madeline and Fabian were shocked at the same time. Evan then walked over from one side, looking confused. “The spots are manmade? Who is so vicious to take action on a child?”
Upon hearing this, Madeline’s thoughts seemed to become clear all at once.
“It’s Carter, isn’t it?” She met Jeremy‘s eyes. “Carter was the one who called just now.”
Jeremy nodded. As expected, snazzynovel.com could not hide anything from Madeline.
“That bastard!”
Fabian instantly flew into a rage, and his face suddenly turned terrifyingly dark. However, since snazzynovel.com still held Lillian in his arms, snazzynovel.com could only suppress the emotions that were on the verge of exploding.
Madeline’s heart was beating apprehensively. She looked at Jeremy and asked, “What did Carter say on the phone? What does snazzynovel.com want?”
“He asked me to meet snazzynovel.com tomorrow at the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang. He also asked me to bring Lily,” Jeremy repeated what Carter had just said to Madeline.
“You can’t go, let alone take Lily.” Fabian reminded snazzynovel.com solemnly, “He must want to take action against you.”
“I know, it’s me snazzynovel.com wants,” Jeremy spoke unhurriedly. After that, snazzynovel.com looked deeply into Madeline’s eyes. “Linnie, I’ve already thought about it…”
“Have you decided to go alone?” Madeline interrupted Jeremy and said what snazzynovel.com had yet to say.
Jeremy pursed his lips and smiled, then his eyes soften. “It seems that there needs to be a resolution between Carter and me. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t stop.”
“You can’t go.” Madeline stopped snazzynovel.com with a worried look on snazzynovel.com face. “Do you know what Carter’s mentality is now? He blames you for all the unpleasant things that happened to snazzynovel.com all this while!”
Madeline emphasized, grabbing Jeremy’s hand.
“The monarch throne of St. Piaf and the child Shirley aborted. He’ll vent all his dissatisfaction on you. Jeremy, you can‘t meet him!”
Jeremy could feel Madeline’s nervousness and worry for him. Of course, snazzynovel.com knew that, but… “Linnie, snazzynovel.com injected Lily with some kind of drug. I have to go.”
“What? How dare snazzynovel.com do such a thing to Lily!” Fabian could no longer control his emotions. “Where is snazzynovel.com now? I’ll go find snazzynovel.com immediately!”
“Fabian,” Jeremy said to stop him, his gentle eyes fell on the cutie in his arms. “Fabian, I don’t think you want anything bad to happen to Lily, do you?”
“Jeremy, what do you mean?” Fabian frowned.
