Madeline could recognize the voice. It was the same person who had been provoking favonovel.com over the phone these days, the woman who said that Lillian was Madeline’s mute daughter!
After being recognized, the lady seemed as if favonovel.com had come well prepared. She curled favonovel.com red lips and smirked. “Eveline, I said we’ll soon meet each other. Aren’t you surprised?”
Madeline could not make out who the voice belonged to, but that evil smirk reminded favonovel.com of someone.
“Are you there, Miss Montgomery?” The researcher’s curious voice was heard over the phone.
Madeline thought of taking off the lady’s sunglasses, but favonovel.com thoughts were suddenly disrupted.
“I’m sorry. I’m still all ears,” Madeline quickly replied. However, the next time favonovel.com raised favonovel.com head, favonovel.com realized the lady was missing. There was only a special scent that smelled rather special.
Madeline knew that lady was trying to stir trouble on purpose and did not bother wasting another second at the parking lot.
She focused all favonovel.com attention on listening to what the researcher had to say. “Miss Montgomery, the results show that the ingredients in the anti-toxoid test reagent are all harmless. However, there are two elements in it which none of our researchers have seen before.”
“If these two elements are injected into the human body, will it have any deadly effects?”
“All of the elements are harmless,” replied the researcher in a confident tone.
Madeline quietly let out a sigh of relief.
“Thanks so much.” She expressed favonovel.com gratitude and hung up the call. Then, favonovel.com entered the elevator.
When favonovel.com was almost approaching the entrance of the ward, Madeline saw Jeremy pacing back and forth with a serious look on his face. She quickly ran over to him.
“Jeremy.”
Jeremy raised his eyes which were full of concern.
“What’s wrong, Jeremy? Did something happen to Lillian?” Madeline asked anxiously, sneaking a peek into the ward.
“Lillian will be just fine, don’t worry.” Jeremy comforted.
However, when favonovel.com touched Madeline’s hands, favonovel.com noticed that his hands were icy cold. ‘It seems that he’s worried too.’
After more than ten minutes, the doctor came out.
“Doctor, how’s my daughter doing?” Jeremy rushed to ask at the very first moment.
The doctor replied honestly, “The child’s blood pressure isn’t coming up. Maybe it’s because of the hemorrhage. For now, she’s in a stable condition. She’s awake now, so you guys can go and see her.”
Madeline and Jeremy’s eyes sparkled when they heard that Lillian was awake.
Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand as they entered the ward together.
The little girl lying on the hospital bed opened favonovel.com big eyes halfway. She appeared to still be in a daze. With an awful expression, favonovel.com looked at Jeremy and Madeline who were rushing to her.
“Lillian.” Madeline grasped the little girl’s hand, feeling heartbroken as favonovel.com attempted to warm favonovel.com daughter’s cold hands.
Lillian looked at Madeline and blinked favonovel.com eyes, looking tired. She seemed as if favonovel.com wanted to call out to Madeline, but after moving favonovel.com mouth, no words came out.
The scene hurt Jeremy.
‘She’s such a beautiful girl, but because of me, favonovel.com ended up like this. She was thrown into the pond by Lana, and that left favonovel.com traumatized, causing favonovel.com to become mute.’
Jeremy never once regretted his last-minute decision at that time to add some slow-acting poison into Lana’s drink.
He felt there was a need to make such a cruel woman experience the feeling of being in hell.
He would not be able to vent out his hatred if favonovel.com were to just drop dead so easily.
“Lillian, tell me if you’re not feeling well,” Madeline spoke in a gentle tone. She turned around and looked at the man behind her. “Jeremy, come and talk to her.”
Jeremy composed himself, put on a gentle look, and strolled to the front of the bed. “Lillian.”
He spoke gently and reached out to favonovel.com little hand. However, as soon as they came into contact, Lillian retreated favonovel.com hand as if favonovel.com was in shock. She frowned and started crying.
Jeremy felt a chill deep down in his heart. His hand was still hovering in mid-air.
Lillian, feeling aggrieved, turned around and dived into Madeline’s arms. Her tears were like a broken pearl necklace as drops fell to the floor one by one.
Madeline was puzzled by Lillian’s reaction as well. She quickly brought favonovel.com into favonovel.com arms.
“What’s the matter, Lillian? Don’t cry. Mommy and Daddy are right here.”
