Chapter 1705
‘Reason?’
The puzzlement in Madeline’s eyes intensified. “What reason?”
Jeremy seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but he suddenly shook his head gently. “Nothing. Maybe I’m just overthinking. Linnie, let’s briefly discuss Lily’s treatment.”
He changed the subject, but he was starting to find Fabian’s change suspicious.
Since Madeline was now more concerned about Lillian’s disease, she did not question.
In the following days, Madeline and Jeremy had rushed between a few hospitals, and eventually found a place for Lillian in the hospital that was well-known and most authoritative in treating leukemia.
Madeline could not stand seeing such a young child going through so much pain. She had initially expected the child to swiftly recover and be able to speak, but they were merely jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Moreover, Eloise’s mind had yet to recover even now, so Madeline truly felt mentally exhausted.
The night came as usual.
Madeline was at the side of Lillian’s bed. After Lilian had fallen asleep, she tip-toed out of the room and into the corridor for some fresh air.
Presently, Jeremy was on his way home to get some daily necessities, so he would only be back a while longer. Now, there was only Madeline.
Madeline was about to sit down for a short rest when a nurse walked over and asked, “Excuse me, are you Lillian Whitman’s mother?”
“I am.”
“This is about Lilian’s information. I’d need you to verify them.”
Madeline glanced at the room. Even though the child was sleeping soundly, she was still quite worried.
The nurse, noticing Madeline’s worries, said, “I’ll ask my colleague to watch over the child. Don’t worry.”
“Thanks,” said Madeline as she followed the nurse to the nursing station.
