Chapter 1450
“Buddy, don’t get fooled. Bad people nowadays look a lot like good people. You and your sister are still young, so don’t believe strangers so easily.”
The guard educated and lectured them seriously. Then, he turned around with Lillian in his arms. Before that, he reminded Jackson.
“Buddy, come back with me now. It’s almost time for class.”
Jackson did not want the guard to worry about him, so he nodded in agreement. He walked quickly toward Fabian and lifted his handsome face.
“Here, I’m giving this back to you. My sister doesn’t want it.” Jackson reached out his hand to hand it over.
Fabian looked at the box that had been returned and smiled in disappointment as well as frustration before taking it back.
He turned around to look at Lillian who was resisting him and even wanted to run away from him. Then, he tightened his grip around the box as a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
“Lily, this might be the last time I see you.
“I don’t have the good fortune to wait for you to grow up nor do I have the right to take care of you as you grow up. Lily, I hope you get better and if we have the chance to see each other in the future, I hope that you’ll be able to talk then.”
Fabian took the box in his hand. “This is the happiness you gave me when we first met. I’m giving back this happiness to you now and I hope that you’ll be happy forever, Lily.”
Fabian placed the box into Lillian’s hand. Lillian lifted her crystal-like eyes and stared straight at Fabian.
Fabian maintained his smile that was as warm as the spring breeze. “Lily, goodbye.”
After he said that, he turned around without stopping.
Jackson took a step forward and asked while facing Fabian’s back, “Are you leaving?”
Fabian did not stop walking. He only turned around to look at Jackson and smiled gently at him before continuing his journey.
