Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1176

Chapter 1176

During their first encounter, the little girl even kissed him with an innocent look.

However, she now hated him.

It was Fabian’s very first time feeling this disappointed.

He had no ulterior motive against Lillian and was sincerely trying to protect and provide her with more love and concern.

However, after giving it another thought, he realized that Lillian might not see things the same way. Just who was he to Lillian?

‘Why would she care about my concern?’

Madeline was initially talking on the phone upstairs. When she heard the commotion, she quickly came down.

Karen was comforting Lillian while scolding Fabian, “I wonder where this scumbag showed up from? He even has the guts to kidnap kids.”

‘Kidnap kids?’

Madeline looked over to the main entrance and noticed Fabian.

Madeline was well aware of Fabian’s attitude toward Lillian and tried to explain, “Mom, he’s someone I know. He’d never kidnap Lillian. Lillian also loves playing with him.”

Karen was not buying it. “How is it possible that Lillian loves playing with him? Earlier, I saw Lillian struggling to free herself from his arms with my own eyes. As soon as that scumbag let her go, she immediately came to me.”

Madeline felt perturbed after listening to what Karen said.

“Is it true, Mom? Lillian didn’t want to play with him?” she questioned.

Karen nodded. “Do you think I’d lie to you?”

Of course, Madeline did not think that Karen would lie to her. ‘But if that’s the case…’

She walked to the innocent little child and squatted. “Lillian.”

Lillian nodded her head as if she was answering Madeline.

Madeline touched the little child’s face. “Lillian, I’ll make sure you’ll be back to how you used to be.”

She gave her promise. When Jeremy was back from his errands, she explained everything to him.

Nevertheless, after visiting the psychologist, the doctor failed to spot a problem with the little girl.

Jeremy was hurt to see Madeline being so busy. After having dinner, Jeremy had Madeline turn in earlier for the day for some rest.

Madeline was indeed lethargic. She was in a daze and slept only for a few hours before waking up early in the morning.

She glanced at the man beside her who was sound asleep and cautiously took out the second bottle of reagent from her purse.

Previously, she took two drops of it to run an experiment. It would not affect its usage.

Adam said that to be on the safe side, it was better to use it once a week. It was already the second week today.

The main reason why she was following Adam’s orders was that Madeline noticed that Jeremy had stopped coughing lately and the researchers at the lab also clarified that the elements of the reagent were safe to use.

Madeline got the reagent prepared, then walked to the bedside before gently lifting Jeremy’s hand to look for a vein.

Jeremy slowly opened his eyes and saw Madeline injecting the liquid into him. He stared at her quietly, enduring the icy cold sensation that was spreading to every corner of his body. Following that was the bout of intense pain.

Madeline, who was slowly pressing the plunger of the needle, suddenly paused when she saw a familiar gaze looking at her. Her heartbeat started pumping hard. She lifted her gaze and saw Jeremy’s deep-set eyes.
