Chapter 2072
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âLily is very dependent on you.â Jeremyâs eyes were very solemn. âDonât you want to take care of Lily?
Prove it to me now. Prove that you can take good care of my daughter so that I can leave my baby girl with you without worry.â
After hearing what Jeremy said, Fabian seemed stunned.
Before he could react, Jeremy walked up to him, bowed his head, and kissed Lilyâs cheek.
âLily, Mommy and I need to take care of some business. Weâll come to pick you up later. Stay here with Fab obediently and listen to everything he says, okay?â
Lillian understood that Madeline and Jeremy were leaving, so she furrowed her cute little brows in disappointment.
âDaddy. â Her little cherry blossom mouth moved, and she called out to her father softly. At the same time, there was a tinge of loneliness in her eyes.
Concordant with Jeremy, Madeline smiled lovingly at Lillian.
âLily, Daddy and I will come to take you home once weâre done with the business, so be a good girl and stay with Fab, okay?â
Being a very sensible child, Lillian did not show any unhappy emotions, and instead, she obediently nodded her head.
Very relieved, Jeremy took Madelineâs hand immediately.
âLinnie, letâs go back to the hotel first.â
âOkay.â
Without asking any more questions, Madeline finally kissed Lillian and followed Jeremy.
âJeremy wonât take the risk to meet that guy named Carter alone, will he? â Evan asked, feeling a little bit curious and worried.
Fabian looked at the door thoughtfully and frowned. âI think I also have some responsibility in this.â
âFab, what did you say?â Confused, Evan looked at Fabian who said this.
Fabian did not speak, but instead, he looked down at Lillian in his arms.
âLily, donât worry. I wonât let your parents get into trouble,â he solemnly promised to Lillian.
At the hotel.
It was already late at night.
In Madelineâs heart, she still felt perturbed. Additionally, she felt terribly anxious when she remembered that Jeremy had decided to see Carter tomorrow.
However, Jeremy promised her that he would think of a countermeasure tonight. When he came up with it, he would make plans for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, however, Madeline woke up and found that Jeremy was no longer by her side.
She called him but could not get through to him at all.
Madeline immediately contacted Fabian and asked him for the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Fabian, who was on the other end of the phone, told Madeline directly that he was now at the entrance to the coffee shop where they met up yesterday.
Madeline quickly got up to wash up. She then put on her coat hastily before hurrying over to the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel.
Fabianâs car was parked at the entrance. He got out of the car, opened the door for Madeline, and then stepped on the accelerator.
âFabian, if youâre here, whereâs Lily?â
âEvan will take care of Lily for me. Donât worry, â
Fabian told her. He was staring at the road ahead with his eyes as sharp as swords. At the same time, he was constantly speeding up.
âFabian, why donât you go back? Tell me where the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang and I can find Jeremy by myself.â
âDo you think I will let you take the risk alone?â Fabian asked back. After that, he guessed, âJudging by how anxious you are now, Iâm guessing Jeremy has gone to Carter alone, didnât he?â
