Chapter 818

Felipe’s faint voice was heard over the phone. “Something happened to Lillian.”

Madeline’s expression changed drastically. “Something happened to Lillian? What do you mean by that?!”

“Lillian accidentally tripped and hit her head. She’s bleeding heavily. I just sent her to Royal Hospital to be treated,” Felipe said calmly. Then, he asked, “Are you with Jeremy?”

“I’m not with him. I’m going to book a ticket to fly back to F Country now!”

Jeremy came out from the conference room and saw Madeline running to the elevator. His eyes went dim as he put on a jealous expression. “You’re so desperate to meet him after just a call. Eveline, were you this concerned about me in the past?”

Madeline boarded the flight overnight to hurry back to F Country.

When she arrived at the hospital, Lillian was being admitted to the ICU for further observation.

Through the glass window, Madeline glanced at the pale doll-like face. The sight only made her heartbroken.

The servants claimed Lillian was having fun by herself when she accidentally knocked her head, but Madeline was not convinced.

‘This must be a warning from Felipe.

‘He’s trying to warn me not to have the impulse to tell anyone about the truth, or else, the one who’s going to be injured is Lillian.’

Exhausted, Madeline sank into the chair. She was mentally drained.

Felipe’s towering physique soon approached her. She felt that he was just like an enormous mountain, suppressing her to the point where she was breathless.

She could not estimate how much longer she would have to endure such terrifying days.

Felipe walked up to her. “Lillian is no longer in any life-threatening scenario. Actually, you didn’t have to purposely fly back here.”

Madeline stared at the gentle expression and gradually got up. “Right now, the one who’s lying inside is my biological kid who I carried in my stomach for ten months. Do you think I’ll be able to stay at Glendale and not be bothered by any of this?”

Madeline’s stern yet sharp gaze matched up Felipe’s mysterious, unpredictable eyes.

“Felipe, you’re just trying to prevent me from being together with Jeremy, right? I, Eveline Montgomery, will promise you that I’ll never be involved in anything related to Jeremy. All I request is for you not to harm my daughter!”

Felipe frowned. “You think that I’m the one who ordered someone to harm Lillian?”

“If it’s not for you, hiring someone to monitor her and lock her up in that house, would something like this have happened to Lillian?”

“I did that just so you’ll stay by my side.”

“I promise you, Felipe, that I’ll stay by your side as long you don’t harm my kid, alright? If you’re unsatisfied, then divert your dissatisfaction to me.”

Felipe stared at her without answering.

He took off his coat and placed it over Madeline’s shoulders gently.

“It’s getting late, and you’re pregnant, so don’t catch a cold. I’ll send someone to fetch you home first.”

“Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline shoved his hand. “But I’m going to stay here to guard my daughter.”

“You know I don’t want to place you in a tough situation, Eveline. Be a good girl and head home to rest.”

‘You claim you don’t want to put me in a tough spot, but your attitude doesn’t speak the same way.’

Madeline looked at the little girl in ICU while clenching her hands into fists. In the end, she headed home.

Madeline stayed at F Country for a week until after Lillian had fully recovered before heading back to Glendale with Felipe.

Actually, she did not want to come back so early as she wanted to keep Lillian accompany. However, Felipe insisted she head back to Glendale with him. For the sake of Lillian’s safety, she had no other options left.

She boarded a three hours’ flight, then continued her journey in a car. Madeline started feeling nauseous.

The car came to a halt and Madeline rushed to a rubbish bin where she retched. Felipe was concerned about her. He came up to her, gently tapping her back. “Are you alright? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

“Not necessary.” Madeline rejected him flat out. Just when she wanted to avoid Felipe’s hand, two outlines appeared in her visual field.

She then heard Jeremy’s voice that would catch anyone’s attention…
