After the phone had suddenly hung up twice, he kept feeling that something had happened to Lillian.
He thought in confusion as he drove the car faster and faster. However, he did not notice that a car had been following him the entire time.
Approximately twenty minutes later, Fabian finally arrived at his destination.
The apartment building before him was simply decorated, located in a relatively remote corner of the suburb. Some of the surveillance cameras in the road sections were old and damaged, so that was why he had not been able to find this place before.
He quickly rushed to Unit 9oz which Shirley mentioned, and then he raised his hand to knock on the door.
“Lily, Lily, are you inside? This is Fab!”
Fabian announced who he was, but there was no response.
Anxious, Fabian knocked harder, but with such a force, the door in front of him was pushed open.
The apartment door was not locked.
Fabian pushed the door open and strode in. “Lily! ”
He shouted Lillian’s name, searching room after room, but he found nothing in the end.
“Lily.”
Fabian dropped his eyes in disappointment, but suddenly a figure rushed into the doorway.
He immediately raised his head, “Li… Eveline?”
Surprised, he looked at Madeline who came in hurriedly. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Madeline, however, did not pay any attention to Fabian. After coming in, she searched room after room as Fabian had done, and her expectant gaze was gradually replaced by a tinge of loss.
“Eveline, have you been following me?” Fabian finally realized.
Madeline took a deep breath in silence, then turned her head.
