Chapter 1175
Jeremy was about to react when his orbs suddenly reflected the transparent liquid that was flowing into his body.
He was unaware of the liquid, but he noticed Madeline looking very tense.
Besides, he was feeling an icy sensation that went into his bones. It started from his arms and slowly spread to every part of his body. After the cold sensation was gone, what followed was a painful sensation taking over his body.
It was very uncomfortable.
Jeremy kept himself still and endured the pain. Seeing that Madeline was about to get up after completing the injection, he quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Nevertheless, his mind was all jammed up.
He was puzzled at the liquid Madeline injected him with. He was even more curious as to the reason Madeline did it only when he was asleep.
Nonetheless, he was willing to accept it even if it turned out to be poison.
He had let her down multiple times. He could comprehend it if she happened to still bear a grudge against him.
Madeline stood aside, keeping an eye on Jeremy’s reaction. Seeing that he was still sound asleep, she felt relieved.
‘Looks like the reagent is safe to use. At the very least, there are no side effects.’
She strolled over to Jeremy and tried to call out to him, “Jeremy.”
The man continued pretending to be asleep.
Madeline picked up a blanket to cover Jeremy and gently touched him on the face.
‘Jeremy, I’m willing to pay any price as long as I can get the poison out of your body.”
…
Lillian was hospitalized for a week for observation. After that, she was brought back to Whitman Manor by Jeremy and Madeline.
Madeline noticed her daughter could mingle around with anyone except for Jeremy. Whenever Jeremy made an appearance before her, she would either shake her head or hide behind Madeline.
Despite the little girl being unable to speak, Madeline could still understand what was going on in her mind. She guessed that perhaps Lillian was hurt by Jeremy’s previous cold attitude toward her.
Jeremy could not do anything as well. He could not blame anyone but himself.
He asked, looking worried. However, Lillian kept struggling with all her might and let out a disgruntled sound.
Karen heard the commotion and ran out, out to see that Fabian was carrying Lillian. She picked up a broom from beside and flung it toward Fabian.
“Who are you? Quickly put down my granddaughter! How dare you sneak into my house and kidnap my kid?!” Karen was infuriated as she roared at Fabian.
Fabian wanted to explain, but Karen started smacking him mercilessly.
Fabian placed Lillian down to prevent Karen from injuring her.
As soon as Lillian’s feet touched the ground, she quickly shoved Fabian away and ran to Karen.
Heartbroken, Karen carried the child. “Oh my dear sweetheart, don’t be scared. I’m right here.” She comforted, but she was still glaring at Fabian at the same time. “Why aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want me to report you to the cops and have them arrest you, you human trafficker?”
‘Human trafficker?’
Fabian felt helpless, but he could not blame her for misunderstanding him.
Previously, he used to carry Lillian and the little girl would welcome him. She would even take the initiative to come to him on her accord.
