Chapter 1235

Time seemed to freeze the second the little girl said that word from her mouth.

Madeline and Jeremy were stunned at the same time. They were unable to believe what they were hearing at this moment.

Jeremy even wondered if he was hallucinating. Did his little princess just call him ‘Daddy’?

However, Lillian was feeling confused. At this moment, what she saw was her father ignoring her. Her big eyes looked up at the motionless Jeremy while her thick eyelashes lightly fanned. Then, a trace of loneliness flashed across her clear eyes.

“Daddy,” Lillian opened her mouth and called out again.

The childish and clear ‘Daddy’ echoed in Jeremy’s ears clearly.

At this moment, he was sure that he had not misheard.

It was not an illusion.

Jeremy squatted suddenly and looked at the tiny doll-like face in front of him. His eyes were brimming with tears.

“Lily.”

He raised his restrained hands and gently stroked Lillian’s small face.

“Lily, you can talk. You can call out to Daddy now.”

His heart was racing while his voice was trembling.

His Lillian could speak again!

He had waited for so many years, waiting for the child to call him ‘Daddy’!

When Lillian felt Jeremy’s acceptance of her, a sweet smile blossomed on her doll-like face.

However, she did not understand why her daddy’s eyes were red.

‘Is Daddy crying?

‘Why?’

Lillian blinked her huge eyes and stretched out her fair, tender little hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Jeremy’s eyes. Then, she smiled innocently. Her sweet and adorable dimples healed Jeremy’s bitter and cold heart.

“Mr. Whitman, visitation is over.” The prison guard reminded him.

Jeremy wanted to hug the child right now, but he had no choice but to let go.

However, the moment he let go, the dimples on both sides of Lillian’s face also disappeared. There was no smile on her face as she looked at Jeremy, who was about to leave, in confusion.

She stepped forward again and grabbed Jeremy’s shirt tightly.

Jeremy lowered his head to see those clear eyes full of expectation and reluctance. He really did not want to hurt the child anymore, but he had no choice now.

Moreover, he should leave now because he was feeling more and more uncomfortable.

He did not want Madeline and the child to see him when he was being tortured by the poison.

Jeremy looked back at the stunned Madeline.

Madeline finally came back to her senses before wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. She then quickly walked to Lillian’s side and brutally pulled her little hand from the corner of Jeremy’s clothes.

“Lily, go home with Mommy. Daddy is busy now and can’t play with you.” Madeline picked Lillian up.

Lillian pressed her small mouth tightly together and watched Jeremy as he walked away. Tears of grievances started falling uncontrollably from her eyes.

“Lily, don’t cry.” Madeline comforted, but her own eyes started to fill with tears as well.

She carried the crying little girl as they both looked at Jeremy’s frail back. She too started sobbing.

‘Jeremy, wait a little longer for me.

‘I will let everyone know who’s the true murderer behind Lana’s case.’

Madeline promised quietly and left with Lillian.

However, Lillian was still crying. Madeline comforted her patiently and tried to coax the little girl into talking again.

However, the little girl did not make a sound no matter how much she coaxed.
