“Carter, Carter! Carter, don’t, don’t hurt Lillian!” Click.
Carter opened the door at the same time Shirley said that.
Madeline, who had been waiting intently at the door, suddenly heard these words coming from the room, and her heart also skipped a beat.
“Lily! ”
Madeline ran to the entrance quickly, and at this moment, she saw Lillian who was held in Carter’s arms.
“Mommy.”
As soon as Lillian saw Madeline, she reflexively called out that word.
Shirley was surprised when she heard that, and at the same time, she saw the sudden appearance of Madeline.
“Eveline?”
Shirley was extremely surprised, but she felt also a hint of pleasant surprise.
She was surprised by Madeline’s appearance and pleasantly surprised to hear Lillian calling out to her mother.
It turned out that Lillian’s voice was so sweet and crisp.
Additionally, when she heard Lillian calling out to her mother, it also made her inexplicably envious.
When Lillian saw Madeline, her small body leaned hard toward Madeline.
“Lily.” Having not seen her baby girl for several months, Madeline was also very excited.
However, Carter stopped Madeline immediately. “ Stop.”
“Carter?”
“I’ll just let you take a look. You only wanted to know whether your daughter is safe or not, didn’t you?”
She wanted to say, ‘Mommy, I missed you.’
However, even if her little mouth was moving, she still could not make a sound. Merely the word “ Mommy” spilled from her lips.
Madeline felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she caressed Lillian’s little head.
She realized that Lillian’s hair had grown, but this further ached Madeline’s heart. “Lily, I missed you.”
Lillian lifted her fair and tender small hands to touch Madeline’s cheeks, then planted a kiss on Madeline’s cheek with her small lips.
“Mommy.”
“Lily.”
Madeline enjoyed the warmth in her arms, and tears started to fall from her eyes unconsciously.
Shirley, too, felt tears prickling the corners of her eyes as she watched this scene. She wanted to give Madeline and Lillian some time alone, but Carter suddenly walked over to slam the door shut.
