Chapter 1701
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline had not been able to contact Fabian the entire time. She also did not know where Fabian had taken Lillian. Despite her uneasiness throughout this ordeal, she still believed that Fabian would certainly not hurt Lillian.
âLinnie, I know where Fabian had taken Lily.â Jeremy sent Lillianâs location to Madelineâs phone.
This surprised Madeline. âDid you put a GPS tracker on Lillian?â
âThatâs the work of our precious son,â Jeremy looked proud as he said that. âEven though Jack is only, he could sometimes think more comprehensively than we could.â
Madeline strongly agreed with this fact.
There were several instances where Jeremy had managed to save Madeline from trouble in the nick of time thanks to her son.
However, upon seeing Lilianâs location, Madelineâs heart started racing again.
âWhyâs Lily in the hospital? Why did Fabian take Lily to the hospital when sheâs fine?â
âLinnie, letâs not worry too much yet. Weâre heading over now, and weâll know what happened as soon as we get there,â Jeremy comforted Madeline with a soft voice.
Madeline, however, was still feeling anxious, and this feeling continued to eat at her on the way to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Madeline was the first to get out of the car and went into the hospital.
She ran hurriedly toward the outpatient service following the location Jeremy had sent her.
In her hurry, Madeline ran into a man as they both rounded the same corner.
âIâm sorry, sir. Iâm in a hurryâ¦â
While Madeline was apologizing, she lifted her gaze to see a familiar face.
Compared to how he had previously looked, the handsome face in front of her had more hints of maturity.
âFabian, I guess this counts as bumping into you,â Madeline said knowingly. âWhy did you cut off all contact with us? Additionally, why did you take Lily away after getting off the plane? Whereâs Lily? Why did you bring her to the hospital?â
Fabian listened to all of Madelineâs questions with a calm expression. His face, which used to have a self-indulgent look to it, let out a small smile.
âThatâs a lot of questions. Which one would you like me to answer first?â Fabianâs tone was completely different from that of the past. His friendly, carefree tone was now laced with detachment and coldness.
Madeline got straight to the heart of the matter as well. As a mother, Madeline was most concerned about her precious daughter right now.
âFirst, tell me whereâs Lily.â Fabian turned his head and looked behind him. âLilyâs in the doctorâs office.â
Madeline wanted to run past Fabian to the doctorâs office as soon as she heard the answer.
âHowever, itâs best if youâre mentally prepared.â
Madeline heard his sudden words as she walked past Fabian.
She abruptly stopped in her tracks; her heart started to feel uneasy again.
Madeline turned, looking at the side of Fabianâs cold face. âWhat do you mean, Fabian? What do you mean by that?â
After Madeline had said that, Jeremy too arrived hurriedly.
Jeremy briefly met Fabianâs eyes before shifting his gaze away, indifferent. âLinnie, whatâs wrong?â
Madeline gently shook her head, her eyes glued to Fabianâs face. âFabian, explain to me, clearly, what you just said. What do you mean by âmentally preparedâ?â
Jeremy could immediately tell that something was off with these words. âFabian, why did you say that?
Whereâs my daughter?â
Fabian, looking at the frantic faces of Madeline and Jeremy, slowly lifted his hand and handed them a medical test report.
âThe doctor suspects that Lily has leukemia.â
