Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1756

When Lilian saw Fabian at a loss for words, she avoided Fabian’s gaze, hurt evident in her eyes. She then reached out to take the hat and gently put it back on.

In a daze, Fabian gradually gathered his wandering thoughts. At this moment, he made the final decision.

“Lily.”

He finally spoke, his solemn eyes looking straight into Lillian’s melancholic, big eyes.

“Lily, do you want to come with me?”

Fabian asked gently but his tone betrayed urgency. He was worried that Madeline would soon return.

Lillian, not understanding what Fabian meant, only blinked and looked at him.

“Lily, I’ll bring you somewhere that could heal you. You’ll be able to get better quickly, then you can talk just like how you could back then.”

Lillian vaguely understood what Fabian meant this

time. She blinked her clear eyes and her pink lips moved to speak. “Daddy. Mommy.”

Daddy. Mommy.

Those were the only two words that Lillian could utter now.

Fabian understood how Lillian felt. She wanted her father and mother.

He gave a gentle smile as he stroked Lillian’s small face. “Lily, do you trust me? I will love you and protect you just like your daddy and mommy. I will take care of you forever.

“Trust me.”

Fabian firmly promised, then suddenly opened his arms to carry the confused-looking Lillian.

Although Lillian was still small, she could recognize Fabian with certainty.
