Chapter 2057

Fabian met Madeline’s inquisitive eyes. “Eveline, do you still trust me?”

Madeline paused after hearing the words. “Are you saying you don’t want me to take Lily away from here?”

Fabian did not nod, but that was what he meant.

“Eveline, to tell you the truth, I’m reluctant to let Lily go back with you.”

Upon hearing this, Madeline could not help but keep quiet.

For a while, she did not even know how to refute it. However, that was her daughter.

“ I know that you, Jeremy, and your family are all concerned and worried about Lily, but if Lily goes back with you, I think I’ll never have the chance to see her again.”

“What do you mean you’ll never see her again? As long as you want to see her, you can come to see her freely. Do you think Jeremy and I will stop you?” Madeline felt this strange.

“No, I won’t go back to Glendale anymore,” Fabian said with a soft sigh before looking out the car window. “I’ll never go to the city where I lost two of my dearest family members again.”

Madeline’s heart trembled when she heard this. She figured she truly could not empathize.

In this world, true empathy did not exist.

She would never understand the pain in Fabian’s heart, but she could feel the pain of losing a loved one.

She knew that it would be useless to comfort him, so she said nothing.

Once she was back, Madeline waited for Evan’s call. Based on the current situation, Carter would never release Lily without getting a satisfactory answer from Evan’s father.

The next day, when Madeline got up, she heard conversational voices outside the room.

She hastily cleaned up and saw Fabian and Evan talking in the living room on the second floor of the villa.

She walked in and heard Evan’s voice. “My father really can’t spare the time to treat Carter’s friends Every patient who is about to receive my father’s treatment had registered a long time ago. They can’t delay any further.”

Evan’s words revealed a sense of helplessness.

Madeline knew this, and she also understood that no one could jump the queue in this kind of thing no matter what.

In addition to wanting to rescue Lily as soon as possible, she actually hoped that Shirley would get the treatment too, but this matter was based on first -come, first-served basis, and everyone only had one life.

Upon hearing Evan’s words, Fabian tried to ask Evan to ask his father again when he caught a glimpse of Madeline standing not far away from the corner of his eye.

“You’re up,” Fabian said in a friendly tone.

Evan heard that and noticed that Madeline was standing at one side. Madeline also came back to her senses then.

“Yeah, I just got up.” She smiled and walked slowly to them. “Evan, thank your father for his help. If he really can’t make time, we shouldn’t put him in a difficult position.”

“It’s not that. My father does have too many patients who need his help,” Evan explained.

“I can understand that.” Madeline looked at Fabian. “Don’t worry, Lily will be safe for now.”

“For now?” Fabian was still worried. “I wonder what insane things Carter will do if he knows his female friend won’t get treatment.”

There was a long silence as Fabian’s voice fell away.

Madeline then went to buy a new phone. She tried contacting Shirley, but after she sent the message, she did not get a reply.
