“Lily, your daddy is busy with work and can’t leave for the time being. Your mommy is helping your daddy too. When they are done, they will come together to take you home.“
Fabian explained patiently with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Lillian blinked. She seemed to understand what Fabian was saying, and she did not call out for her mom and dad anymore.
However, Fabian’s heartbeat sank inexplicably. “ Lily, when your parents come back to pick you up, do you really want to go home with them?“
It was unknown if Lillian understood the expectation and dissatisfaction in Fabian’s eyes because she stretched out her small palm and gently held Fabian’s hand.
Upon feeling the warmth from the little cutie’s palm in his, a subtle sweetness seemed to instantly fill Fabian’s heart.
He rolled up Lillian’s sleeves and saw the unfading red spots on her skin, then he furrowed his brows tightly.
Shirley just came out at this moment, so Fabian took Lillian’s little hand and then slowly stood up.
“Miss Brown, how’s the progress? When will the red spots on Lily’s skin disappear?“
Shirley frowned and spoke guiltily.
“I want to develop an antidote as soon as possible too, but I still need more time.“
Fabian was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, but he had no choice. Thus, he just glanced at the cutie next to him distressingly.
“If these red dots don’t disappear, will there be anything more serious happening next?“
“I can only say that this possibility has not been ruled out. “ Shirley felt helpless. “It was just a whim when I developed this, so there weren’t any clinical trials for it. I can only call it a semi-completed product, and I can only tell you that it is possible that there will be pathological changes.“
“Pathological changes?“ Fabian’s eyes widened. “ You can’t let that happen! You have to develop an antidote as soon as possible. Lily is so young, and she has already suffered a lot. I don’t want her to suffer anymore.“
Upon hearing Fabian’s words, a smile appeared on Shirley’s solemn face.
