Chapter 1045

Jeremy was about to finish Lana off when he heard Fabian cursing angrily.

Lana was in a good mood, but she was scolded by Fabian as soon as she entered the house. Her expression hardened. She was about to open her mouth to retort when she saw Fabian carrying Lillian, who was safe and sound, in his arms.

Jeremy had also seen Lillian.

His battered heart, which was already riddled with holes, was instantly soothed.

‘Lillian.

‘My little princess.

‘So you’re alright. That’s great!

‘Daddy was afraid that something had happened to you. If something happened to you, your mother would fall apart completely.’

Jeremy thought silently, then heard Fabian scolding Lana again. “You asked your subordinate to kidnap Lillian, didn’t you? You actually threw such a small child into the pool with no care about whether she lives or dies. Are you still human?”

“Fabian Johnson! Shut up!” Lana was outraged. “When did I kidnap this little thing? Stop speaking nonsense!”

“Who else if not you?” Fabian scolded sternly. He turned his head and looked at the little cutie in his arms. “Lillian, tell me, did this evil woman throw you into the pool? Tell me, so I’ll call the shots for you.”

“Heh! You’ll call the shots for her? Who are you to her? Fabian, don’t tell me you want to be like those celebrities and find someone who’s more than a decade younger than you to be your future wife? Are you a groomer?”

“Lana, you shut up!” Fabian was really offended now. He wanted to slap Lana to wake this woman up, but the little cutie in his arms suddenly struggled and wanted to get down.

The little kid’s watery eyes were looking straight at Jeremy who was behind Lana.

Fabian understood and immediately let go of Lily.

Lily’s eyes shone as she ran toward Jeremy with her little feet.

Lana really wanted to kick Lily, but she did not want to be that vicious in front of Jeremy.

Just then, Lily fell down as she hoped she would.

Although Fabian had already cut the T-shirt, it was still too big. Lily’s little feet accidentally stepped on the hem of the shirt and with a plop, she fell down in front of Jeremy.

The fall was like an ice cone pounding on Jeremy’s heart. His heart hurt so much that he felt uncomfortable, but he did not reach out to Lily.

Only by pretending not to care could he keep them safe.

Jeremy’s embrace that Lily waited for did not come, but she did not cry. She just lay on the ground and looked up helplessly and confusedly at an unresponsive Jeremy with her big, watery eyes.

After a while, Lily slowly propped up her little hands and got up on her own.

Jeremy’s heart was as if it was being cut, but he still remained his indifferent attitude.

Fabian saw this scene and went up to pick up Lily even more angrily.

“Jeremy, what’s wrong with you? This is your biological daughter! She fell right in front of you, but you’re still so indifferent?!” Fabian questioned.

Jeremy glanced at a silent Lillian indifferently. “Eveline and I have divorced. This is her daughter and she has nothing to do with me.”

“What are you saying? Is she not still your daughter even after you’ve divorced Eveline? Isn’t your blood flowing in her?” Fabian carried Lily dearly as the young girl kept on looking at Jeremy without saying a word.

“Lillian, these are all bad people. They don’t care about you, but I do! I’ll take you back home to your mom!” Fabian picked up Lily angrily and wanted to leave.

Lana went up to stop him. “Fabian, if you still want me as your sister, you have to throw this little thing out and ignore it!”

Fabian’s eyes were sharp. “Lana, I think you’re mistaken. I stopped wanting an inhumane sister like you long ago! I want to see what else you’re going to do to Lily. If you dare touch her again, I’ll double it back at you!”

What?!

Lana was so angry that she got dizzy.

“You… Fabian, what did you say?!”
