Chapter 1450

“Buddy, don’t get fooled. Bad people nowadays look a lot like good people. You and your sister are still young, so don’t believe strangers so easily.”

The guard educated and lectured them seriously. Then, he turned around with Lillian in his arms.

Before that, he reminded Jackson.

“Buddy, come back with me now. It’s almost time for class.”

Jackson did not want the guard to worry about him, so he nodded in agreement. He walked quickly toward Fabian and lifted his handsome face.

“Here, I’m giving this back to you. My sister doesn’t want it.” Jackson reached out his hand to hand it over.

Fabian looked at the box that had been returned and smiled in disappointment as well as frustration before taking it back.

He turned around to look at Lillian who was resisting him and even wanted to run away from him. Then, he tightened his grip around the box as a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

“Lily, this might be the last time I see you.

“I don’t have the good fortune to wait for you to grow up nor do I have the right to take care of you as you grow up. Lily, I hope you get better and if we have the chance to see each other in the future, I hope that you’ll be able to talk then.”

Fabian took the box in his hand. “This is the happiness you gave me when we first met. I’m giving back this happiness to you now and I hope that you’ll be happy forever, Lily.”

Fabian placed the box into Lillian’s hand. Lillian lifted her crystal-like eyes and stared straight at Fabian.

Fabian maintained his smile that was as warm as the spring breeze. “Lily, goodbye.”

After he said that, he turned around without stopping.

Jackson took a step forward and asked while facing Fabian’s back, “Are you leaving?”

Fabian did not stop walking. He only turned around to look at Jackson and smiled gently at him before continuing his journey.

Lillian watched as Fabian walked farther and farther away. Her lively and clear eyes started tearing up unbeknownst to her. She blinked and opened the box with her tiny hands. Then, she saw a candy inside the box.

Furthermore, this candy looked familiar in the sea of her memories.

On the island.

Madeline woke up from her dream groggily and realized Ryan was no longer next to her. In addition to that, there was breakfast on the nightstand next to the bed. It was obvious that Ryan had prepared this for her.

After Madeline cleaned up, she ate some of the food. Then, she walked out of the house to see Ryan standing at the beach looking at the blue sea.

He was wearing a white shirt, and the warm autumn sun was falling on his body, making his temperament look warm and noble.

However, it was still different from the past. Ryan was not the noble prince that Madeline initially knew.

“You’re up.” Ryan did not turn back, but he knew that it was Madeline’s footsteps.

Madeline walked up to him and stood behind him, neither obsequious nor supercilious. “Ryan, tell me the rules of your game. Don’t waste our time.”

Ryan turned around and smiled when he looked into Madeline’s cold eyes. “Ten minutes. I’ll give you ten minutes to hide. If I can’t find you half an hour later, then you win.”

Madeline did not expect this to be a game of hide-and-seek.

“Alright, start the clock now.” Madeline agreed immediately.

“Are you sure you can defeat me?” Ryan looked at the house in front of him and then at the sea that was around them. He was confident.

However, the confidence in Madeline’s eyes was even more steady and bold. “You’ll know soon enough whether I can beat you.”

All of a sudden, Ryan felt that this was very interesting.

He smiled and walked to the beach before turning around. He looked at the time. “The game starts now.”
