Chapter 1174
However, Lillian only shook her head and started crying even harder.
Jeremy felt his heart shattering into pieces when he saw the little girl’s tears.
‘This little girl must be utterly disappointed with a father like me.’
He smirked to himself, thinking this was all the consequences of his doings.
Lillian cried for a very long time in Madeline’s arms. Finally, she dozed off. Perhaps she was fatigued.
The doctor showed up once again to check on Lillian and noticed there was nothing odd with her.
After the doctor excused himself, Madeline comforted Jeremy who was sitting at the side. “Jeremy, don’t be too upset. Lillian is still a little kid.”
“It’s exactly because she’s still a kid that all the emotions she expresses are the most genuine,” said Jeremy. He looked at the little girl who was sound asleep, feeling depressed.
“Jeremy.”
“Linnie, I won’t let myself be depressed again.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hands. “I’ll take good care of Lillian. I’ll let this child know that her father truly loves her.”
Madeline smiled after she heard his promise. She then spun around to get the daily necessities arranged.
That day, Jeremy and Madeline were at the hospital taking care of Lillian.
Lillian seemed to have composed herself as she no longer cried at the sight of Jeremy.
However, she still treated Jeremy coldly. She ignored him and would not look at him at all. All she wanted was for Madeline to carry her.
Jeremy could only endure the sadness by himself as he was aware that it was all a result of his doings.
After having dinner, they put Lillian to sleep. Just when Madeline was cleaning up the utensils, Ryan suddenly called her.
She did not want Jeremy to misunderstand her, hence she immediately picked up the call and replied, “Got it. I’ll go have it done now…”
