Chapter 1759
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline took out her phone and indeed saw Fabianâs name on the screen.
He had now unblocked her number just to make this call.
Madelineâs finger trembled, then she immediately picked up the call.
âFabian, where did you take Lily? You bring her back right now!â Madelineâs tone was frantic, and it was clear how worried she was presently.
Of course, Fabian had already anticipated Madelineâs mood. However, his tone was extraordinarily calm.
âMrs. Whitman, I know youâre worried about your precious daughter. Iâm calling you just to tell you that sheâs safe. You donâ t need to worry. Nothing will happen to her.â
Fabianâs tone sounded abnormally distant; his promise and guarantee only made Madeline anxious.
âFabian, I donât need you to tell me that sheâs safe.
I only want to see my daughter with my own eyes. My daughter will truly be fine when sheâs with me. â
On the other end of the line, Fabian stayed silent for some time, then said, âIf thatâs the case, I am afraid I will only disappoint you then.â
Madeline froze when she heard that. âWhat do you mean?â
âAm I not making myself clear?â Fabian asked, his question heavy with implication, then suddenly called out Madelineâs name affectionately, â Eveline.â
ââ¦â Madeline was lost for words and momentarily dazed.
Back when she became friends with Fabian, he would call her name in that joking tone of his.
It sounded affectionate to her back then, but now, it sounded completely different.
âEveline, could you tell me whether you can turn back time once something has happened?â Fabian asked meaningfully.
Fabian immediately followed with his answer.
âIt doesnât matter if something had happened or if someone had died. None of them could ever return.â
Madelineâs head hurt when she heard this. She no longer knew how to answer Fabian.
Jeremy grabbed Madelineâs phone and, facing the screen, impatiently and angrily asked his question.
âFabian, what are you trying to say? Lana and Yorick only had themselves to blame for their deaths.
However, if you insist on blaming their deaths on us, then you can come at us. Lily is just a child! Bring her back right now! â
When Fabian heard Jeremyâs angry words, he lowered his head to look at Lillian who was sound asleep, leaning against his arms, then looked at the scenery outside the window of the plane, a firm look flashed in his eyes.
âThe view in Glendale isnât bad, but this will be the last time Iâll be here.â
Fabian left them with four final words. âWeâll never meet again.â
Beep beep beep.
His voice fell, then the phone line disconnected. All that remained was the busy tone.
When Jeremy tried returning the call, Fabianâs phone status was already turned off.
âJeremy, what should we do now? What on earth did Fabian intend to achieve by abducting Lily?â
Madeline was gradually losing her head.
Jeremy comforted Madeline. âLinnie, Iâll go get the camera footage by the road now. Donât worry.â
âOkay, get it quickly then! Hurry! â Madeline said incoherently as she kept nodding.
Jeremy was worried and heartbroken seeing Madeline in this state.
It felt as if this world had never been kind to this woman. Her body and mind had been under constant torment in the past and the present.
He only hoped that, in the future, her life would only have peace and bliss.
Jeremy then contacted the people from the relevant departments and obtained the camera footage back until the point when Fabian had left the hospital.
After following Fabianâs travel route, Jeremy finally found the place where Fabian and Lillian had gotten out of the car in the end.
It could be said that this place was within his expectations.
