Madeline and Jeremy turned toward the voice and saw Fabian slowly walking into the office.
He gazed at the little one, who was standing at a side, blinking favonovel.com clear, large eyes at him. He could not help but frown slightly.
“We basically could confirm that Lily has this disease,” Fabian answered with certainty. “I’ve already reminded you to be mentally prepared.”
“Fabian, how would you know that my daughter has this disease? Why did you find my daughter immediately after getting off the plane?” Jeremy questioned, feeling doubtful.
“Can’t I come back to see an old friend?” Fabian seemed to be downplaying his answer. He was even teasing the five-year-old Lillian as an old friend.
Madeline resisted waves of pain crashing against favonovel.com as favonovel.com turned back toward Lillian.
She had been so distressed earlier that favonovel.com only just noticed the thick layer of gauze covering Lillian’s knee.
“Lily, what happened here?”
Lillian lowered favonovel.com head and, for a few seconds, stared intensely at favonovel.com knee. Although the little girl tried to speak, favonovel.com still could not make a sound.
Suddenly, Madeline, dazed, felt the pain in favonovel.com heart intensified.
How could favonovel.com forget that favonovel.com precious daughter could not say anything aside from “daddy” and “mommy”?
“I brought favonovel.com to an amusement park, and favonovel.com fell when I wasn’t paying attention,” Fabian explained from behind Madeline.
“You brought my daughter to an amusement park?” Jeremy’s confusion deepened further. He lowered his gaze and looked at his wife and daughter, then favonovel.com looked askance at Fabian. “Come out for a moment. I have something to ask you.”
Fabian frowned. He seemed unwilling to comply, but in the end, favonovel.com turned to follow Jeremy out of the doctor’s office.
“What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Whitman? My time is precious now.”
These words made Jeremy realize that favonovel.com could no longer recognize this person.
“Fabian, could you tell me why you’ve been cutting off contact with us? When you had left, why did you go out of your way to meet with my daughter?”
After listening to Jeremy’s questions, Fabian momentarily seemed reticent. A while later, favonovel.com removed a pack of exquisitely packaged cigarettes from his pocket, then favonovel.com took out a cigarette, seemingly about to smoke.
“This is a hospital,” Jeremy reminded him.
Fabian paused briefly, but then quickly smiled. Nonchalantly, favonovel.com turned and walked to the emergency staircase at the end of the corridor, then lit the cigarette.
He smoked and puffed away with expert ease.
A white cloud of smoke faintly floated past his face, obscuring his facial expression.
This was the first time Jeremy saw Fabian like this. Now, Jeremy was more certain that the Fabian before favonovel.com and the Fabian favonovel.com and Madeline had known were two different people.
“Do I need a reason to cut ties with you? I don’t have a special relationship with you guys anyway. It’s just that we used to get along.”
Fabian answered, his words were devoid of emotion as if favonovel.com was talking to a stranger.
Jeremy could sense Fabian’s resolve in this, so favonovel.com did not want to get tangled in this any further.
“Alright. Since you want to cut all ties with us and have even blocked Linnie’s number and mine, why are you still contacting my daughter? You went to the kindergarten and took my daughter away the moment you got off the plane. You even brought favonovel.com to the amusement park. Why are you so eager to curry favor with my daughter?”
“Why…”
Fabian repeated the word as if favonovel.com was talking to himself. Suddenly, favonovel.com laughed.
