Chapter 2033
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Fabian thought. Carter was the one in the dessert shop that day who took Lillian away when Fabian did not notice.
When Fabian saw Shirley in a wheelchair, he also came to a conclusion with certainty. âThis woman should be the one who called me.â
Upon hearing that, Madeline could not help but sigh.
âI didnât expect Carter to bring Shirley to F Country.â
â Shirley?â Fabian was confused. â Is this woman named Shirley?â
Madeline nodded. From the surveillance footage, she could clearly see that her baby girl followed Shirley in a well-behaved manner.
âThey just left ten minutes ago. If you follow the footage, you should be able to find them soon, â
Madeline said, looking at Fabian. âYou know a lot of people here, so you should be able to get the real-
time surveillance footage along the way.â
Without another word, Fabian immediately took out his phone to follow suit.
However, even though he managed to contact the relevant personnel, he was told that the surveillance cameras of the roads in this area were broken because they were too old. Recently, they had applied for replacements, so they could not get any footage at the present.
Upon getting this result, Madeline and Fabian felt very helpless.
Madeline still wanted to discuss with Fabian, but Fabian turned around and walked out quickly.
Madeline followed him hurriedly, âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to find Lily, of course! â âDo you know where she is?â
âThey just left not long ago. So, at most, Iâll look along the way. Perhaps Iâll run into them by chance.â
As Fabian spoke, he walked toward the apartment entrance.
Madeline could see that Fabian was truly anxious, but she felt that the chances of finding Lilian this way were too small.
Furthermore, Carter was not someone whom they could track easily.
âFabian, I know youâre worried about Lily, but you can rest assured that Lily wonât be in danger for the time being.â
Madeline gave a confident and reassuring answer.
Fabian had just opened the car door and he was about to get into the car. When he heard this, he could not help but freeze.
âWhy do you say that? Do you know why Carter wanted to take Lily? Do you know how cruel and terrifying his methods are?â
âI know what kind of person he is, and I have already experienced it firsthand, but no matter how aggressive he is, he wonât be cruel in front of the woman he loves most.â
Fabian frowned upon hearing this. âYou mean the woman named Shirley?â
âYes.â Madeline continued, âI believe Lily wonât be in danger if sheâs with Shirley.â
âYou may believe that, but I donât. From what I know about Carter, he will do anything. And the person he loves most isnât that womanâitâs himself.â
Fabian said that with certainty before driving away decisively.
Madeline could not stop him even if she wanted to.
Although Fabian had said that, Madeline still chose to believe her judgment.
Additionally, from what she had seen in the footage, Lilian stayed with Shirley the whole time, so Lilian seemed to trust Shirley a lot. Shirley also gave Lilian a gentle and friendly smile.
âHuff.â Madeline took a deep breath. She looked at the family portrait on her phone screen, and a benevolent smile showed on her face.
âLily, I believe that Iâll be able to see you soon.â
On the other side, Carter had changed three different cabs with Shirley and Lillian before they arrived at a small hotel near the city center.
Shirley was confused. Why did Carter choose such a bustling place? Was he not afraid that he would be seen?
However, after she thought about it, Carter must have his reasons for doing this.
