When Madeline heard this, she was touched.
She looked at Fabian who was dozing off and remembered his coldness toward her and Jeremy all this while.
Perhaps, Fabian was also feeling conflicted inside.
“Fab grew up under the protection of his brother Yorick. Even though Yorick was cruel in his illegal businesses, he had always protected his brother. ”
Evan continued to explain because he wanted Madeline to understand Fabian more.
“Yorick knew his business was not legal, so this whole time, he never let Fabian touch it. Plus, Fabian also had no idea that his siblings were in the illegal business.
“Even though Yorick and Lana broke the law and even went against human nature and morals in some cases, to Fabian, they were a good brother and a good sister. So, as Fab’s friend, I hope you can understand Fab from this perspective, Miss Montgomery. Also, he’s really worried and concerned about your daughter. “
After hearing what Evan said, Madeline looked at Fabian and let out a sigh.
“I think Fab is probably drunk now. If you have any questions for me, Miss Montgomery, you can ask me now. Perhaps I can help you with the questions you want to ask.”
Evan smiled at Madeline in a friendly manner and gestured to her to sit down to talk.
Madeline nodded to thank him and turned to sit down next to Fabian.
“I do have a lot of questions, but I think only Fabian can answer my questions.”
“Not necessarily.” Evan smiled softly as he denied what Madeline said.
Surprised, Madeline met Evan’s gaze.
Evan maintained his friendly and kind smile and then said, “I know the thing you want to know the most right now is your daughter Lillian’s whereabouts. I think I’m the one who’s most able to help you with this.”
Evan nodded. “More than half of my family members are doctors, specializing in different fields, and my father is the best one. He’s a prestigious specialist all over the world.”
“Did Carter find you in hopes that your father will help treat his female friend?” Madeline asked again.
“Yes.” Evan gave her a certain answer. “From what he said, his female friend’s condition is very serious. And he looked very anxious too.”
Carter was still anxious about Shirley’s condition, so it could be seen how concerned he was for Shirley currently.
After pondering in her heart, Madeline parted her lips and said, “Evan, can I ask you for a favor?”
She had an imploring look in her eyes.
Evan’s unrestrained, small face showed a rare gentlemanly smile. “It’ll be my honor to be able to solve the troubles of a beautiful woman, let alone solving your troubles, Mrs. Whitman. I can help you ask Carter out now. You can set the time.”
