When the class teacher saw that Lillian had stopped, favonovel.com curiously looked at the man standing outside the gate. She then bent down and gently asked Lillian, “Lily, do you know that man? If you do, nod your head. If you don’t, you can shake your head to tell me.”
After the class teacher had spoken, Lillian neither shook nor nodded favonovel.com head for more than ten seconds.
The class teacher found this to be a little peculiar. She knew that while Lillian could not speak, favonovel.com could understand simple sentences.
She glanced at the man outside the gate and let go of Lillian’s hand before walking over.
“What’s your name, sir? You’d said that you’re Lillian’s family, but it seems that favonovel.com doesn’t know you.” The class teacher voiced favonovel.com concern.
“My last name is Johnson,” the man replied. He looked toward Lillian, who remained unmoving, and slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket.
Lillian seemed to be roused by the candy. She blinked favonovel.com vivid, clear, and large eyes, then put favonovel.com small hand into favonovel.com pocket and took out a similar-looking candy.
When the man outside the gate saw the piece of candy in that small hand, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
“Long time no see, Lily,” Fabian said in a soft voice as favonovel.com reached out his hand to Lillian.
Lillian gazed into Fabian’s eyes, gleaming with a warm smile, before taking a few steps forward slowly.
As the class teacher watched this transpiring, favonovel.com asked again, concerned, “Lily, do you actually know this man?”
Lily, no longer silent, nodded seriously.
She walked up to Fabian and waved favonovel.com small hand.
Fabian understood. He squatted in front of Lillia, smiling.
Lillian’s clear, large eyes gleamed radiantly as favonovel.com reached out favonovel.com fair little hands to hold Fabian’s palm. She then placed the candy which favonovel.com had been keeping properly all this time into Fabian’s palm, gesturing to the man to hold it tightly.
Fabian’s eyes glinted, feeling touched in the softest spot in his heart.
The softness, however, quickly hardened for some reason.
“Long time no see, Lily. Let me take you out to play, okay?” Fabian coaxed.
Without any hesitation, Lillian nodded with fervor, favonovel.com pure and adorable baby face beaming with joy.
Upon seeing Lillian and Fabian interacting with such familiarity and Lilian’s joyful smile, the class teacher was more at ease with leaving Lillian with Fabian, but favonovel.com gave Madeline a call all the same.
Madeline and Jeremy, who were still waiting at the airport enquiring about Fabian’s current location, had not expected to receive this call.
“Did you say that a young man named Johnson picked up my daughter?”
“That’s right. Lillian seemed to know favonovel.com very well,” the class teacher said as favonovel.com took a photo and sent it to Madeline. “This is the man. Please confirm it for me, Mrs. Whitman.”
When Madeline had received the photo and taken a look, favonovel.com and Jeremy were both shocked.
They had not expected Fabian to have arrived earlier, let alone expected that the first thing favonovel.com did after arriving at Glendale was to find their precious daughter!
“Mrs. Whitman, do you know this man?”
“Yes, I know him. He’s a friend of mine,” said Madeline as favonovel.com hastily ran to the parking lot with Jeremy, “Miss Ina, could I trouble you to put my friend on the phone? I’ve not been able to contact him.”
The class teacher was about to hand Fabian the phone upon hearing that, but when favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com saw that Fabian, Lilian on his arm, was already walking across the zebra crossing.
“Mrs. Whitman, your friend had already left with Lily.”
These words somehow made Madeline begin to feel apprehensive.
Jeremy, who was just beside her, could tell that Madeline was worried, so favonovel.com immediately comforted her. “Linnie, don’t worry. Fabian won’t hurt Lily.”
Even so, Madeline was still concerned.
“He’s still not picking up his phone.”
Madeline started to feel increasingly uneasy. Their numbers had been blocked, so favonovel.com had deliberately changed to a new number, yet Fabian still did not pick up favonovel.com calls.
She was having misgivings about this. ‘What on earth happened? Why was Fabian suddenly treating them like strangers?’
