Madeline held Shirley’s gaze for a couple of seconds before turning around silently to leave.
Carter was busy reassuring Shirley. When her emotions had finally settled down, he noticed that Madeline had already left.
Finding this suspicious, Carter retrieved the footage from the security cameras. It was then that he realized Madeline had entered the closet earlier.
She had waited until Carter had stepped out before entering Shirley’s room.
Regardless, the amount of time she spent inside was not long. It had only been the duration he had taken to cook porridge for Shirley.
However, he had no way of finding out what had happened in the room. With Shirley’s current condition, it would be impossible to obtain any information from her.
After leaving Gray Villa, Madeline had gone directly to Whitman Corporation.
Jeremy had not been dealing with the corporation’s matters for quite some time. There seemed to have been so many incidents happening consecutively around him for the past two to three years.
At the present, he had just ended a meeting when he received Lilian’s latest medical report from Fabian.
This was the first time Fabian had sent over a video, allowing Jeremy to see his daughter whom he had not seen in a long time.
Through the video, Jeremy noticed that his beloved daughter was looking a lot better than before.
Jeremy felt assured by this.
He showed Madeline the update on Lilian immediately when she arrived.
Without Madeline realizing it, watching her little princess waving and smiling in the video filled Madeline’s eyes with tears.
This time, however, it was due to happiness.
Children would express their feelings in the utmost direct way, so Madeline could tell from the smile on Lilian’s face that she must be doing well by Fabian’s side.
“Fabian may have estranged himself from us, but I believe that he sincerely cares for Lilian.”
Jeremy spoke, affirming Madeline’s thoughts, and reached out to hold Madeline’s hand.
