“Also, she’s in a much better condition than you imagine.”
Jeremy looked at Fabian in disbelief as Fabian spoke that way.
“Fabian, so it really was you who took Lilian, yet you denied it to Linnie before.”
Fabian, instead of arguing, readily admitted, “Yes, I took Lilian, and I’m still not returning her to you.”
Jeremy was baffled when he heard this. “Fabian, what exactly do you want?”
Fabian shrugged his shoulders, appearing nonchalant.
“I want to provide medical treatment for your daughter.”
After listening to Fabian’s reply, Jeremy was unsure of how to react, then he heard Fabian speak, with emphasis, in a serious tone.
“Jeremy, even if I return Lilian to you, you wouldn’t be able to provide her with the best treatment, but I can.
“So, you should bring Eveline back to Glendale first. Lilian will stay with me and get the best treatment. I know it isn’t convenient for Eveline to move around now. I’ll arrange a plane to Glendale for both of you.”
Fabian’s tone was firm.
Jeremy also saw the confidence in Fabian’s eyes. However, he was still concerned.
“Fabian, can I still trust you now?”
Upon hearing this, Fabian laughed and replied ambiguously, “Perhaps.”
He gave a one-word response.
“You have no other choice. Surely you don’t want to be unable to see your daughter while being unable to wait for your wife to wake up, right? Jeremy, returning to Glendale is the best option for you now.”
“Why are you in my room?” Shirley did not want to see Ada.
The corner of Ada’s lips perked up as she responded in a strange tone, “Look at your choice of words, Ms. Brown. I’m the hostess of this villa. I can go wherever I want, isn’t that right?”
Shirley was aware that Ada was deliberately trying to anger her, but Shirley had no intention of challenging her. Shirley was in a good mood at that moment.
Shirley smiled and slowly propped up her upper body.
“ I see. Then, why are you here so early to see me, Mrs. Gray?”
Of course, Ada would not inform Shirley about Carter’s decision for Ada to be responsible for Shirley’s food and daily needs. There was nobody around now, so Ada did not have to be nice to Shirley.
“Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to see what kind of tricks this shameless, disfigured, and crippled vixen is using to seduce my husband.” Ada had intended to humiliate Shirley, but as soon as she was done speaking arrogantly, Carter unexpectedly appeared behind her.
