Chapter 1693

It was just a few brief words but they were deeply imprinted in Cathy’s heart.

She also instantly understood what he meant by that.

“Cathy, are you still listening?”

Cathy abruptly came to her senses when she heard Jeremy calling out to her.

“I am.”

She tried to control her emotions and keep calm, but she still could not hide the tremble in her voice.

“Thank you for telling me about this, Jeremy. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”

Cathy hung up the phone in a hurry at the same time she finished her sentence.

She did not have the courage to continue listening at all. She could not even handle even one more word.

The rain in front of her was getting heavier and heavier. The dense raindrops seemed to smash against her heart, causing her intense pain.

The yellow roses in her arms seemed to lose their colors in an instant, losing their original meaning as well.

Tears escaped from her eyes unconsciously, blurring her vision.

‘Felipe Whitman, I don’t know if we’ll meet again in the next life, but in this life, it seems we have no chance of meeting ever again.’

…

After the flare-up from that day, Madeline moved back to Whitman Manor.

The original plan was that when Madeline had a flare-up, Adam would take a sample of the anti-toxoid test reagent that Shirley gave her. However, the situation was so urgent that Adam did not manage to get the sample of the anti-toxoid test reagent.

Adam felt very guilty regarding this because this was his purpose for letting Madeline move in and now it was all for nothing. However, he would not give up just like this. He started studying the poison developed by Shirley with another approach.

Madeline was not bothered but Jeremy was even more worried now.

He had no idea what poison Shirley had used on Madeline, and he did not even know what would happen to Madeline the next time her condition flared up.

When he recalled what he had gone through whenever he had flare-ups, he could not imagine the pain Madeline would have to endure. It might even be several times worse than what he had gone through.

However, he did not express his worries. He no longer expressed his worries in front of Madeline.

After Madeline returned to Whitman Manor, she had more time to take care of Eloise and accompany her children. Among the three children, she was worried about Lillian the most.

Jeremy knew what Madeline was worried about. Plus, he finally got a response after sending people to look for Fabian.

During breakfast, Jeremy stopped Madeline who was going to take care of the children. “Linnie, there’s news about Fabian.”

Madeline was alarmed but pleasantly surprised. “Where is he now? Is he still in Glendale?”

“He’s returned to F Country,” Jeremy told Madeline what he had learned. “He’s also started a business, and he seems to be doing pretty well.”

“He started a business?” Madeline pondered thoughtfully for a few seconds. “Jeremy, did you get into contact with him?”

Jeremy frowned and shook his head slightly. “He didn’t change his number. He just doesn’t want to contact us anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Madeline inevitably felt a little disappointed.

She did not understand Fabian as a person at the beginning, but eventually, she started treating him as a trusted friend.

Madeline did not think that Fabian wanted to distance himself from them because of what had happened to Lana and Yorick. He was not that kind of person. He had a sense of justice and would stand on the side of justice rather than his family.

“Jeremy, I want to meet Fabian. I’m not doing this just for Lily. I also want to figure out why he’s decided to cut off contact with us. I don’t think he’s doing this because of what happened to Lana and Yorick.

He’s not that kind of person.” Madeline was very sure of Fabian’s personality in her heart.

Jeremy also agreed. “I’ve asked someone to look into him. He’s coming to Glendale next week to discuss business. Although he doesn’t want to see us, we can still go see him.”
