After hearing Fabian’s voice, Lillian blinked her eyes strenuously.Fabian was able to notice the subtle change in Lillian’s expression at a glance.After he was sure that Lillian was not feeling well, his muscles instantly tensed up.“Lily, can you let me know where you’re not feeling well?” Fabian asked nervously without even noticing that his footsteps had quickened.Lillian lifted her little hand and placed it on her heart.The sight of that tugged at Fabian’s heartstrings. He suspected that she was experiencing shortness of breath.He was disoriented for a moment, not knowing whether to hold the little one in his arms tighter.Julie was walking not far behind Fabian. Her heart had been occupied with desolation and resentment ever since she had that conversation with him.She was starting to doubt herself despite being an excellent person who was outstanding in every way. However, she could not even attract that man in the slightest. She did not know exactly what she was la
His promise to Madeline and Jeremy to take good care of Lillian was one thing, but what was more important was how important Lillian was to him.The safety and health of this little girl were more important than his own.After the check-up at the hospital, Fabian took Lillian home.After returning home, he ordered the servants to make some nutritious snacks while he carried Lillian back to the bedroom.At this time, Lillian seemed to be tired. Her pure and big eyes blinked at Fabian. She gradually fell into a state of drowsiness.“Lily, sleep if you're sleepy. When you wake up, I’ll give you something delicious.” Fabian's eyes were warm. It was as if he had endless patience.Lillian seemed to have heard what Fabian said, and finally, she gently batted her thick eyelashes and fell asleep quietly.As he was staring at Lillian's peaceful sleeping face, Fabian's heart seemed to have found a safe haven in an instant.It seemed that he also wanted such a quiet and peaceful life.“Li
Faced with the accusation from the female teacher, Fabian felt that he was implicated though innocent. He was bewildered.However, he was not in the mood to care so much. However, Lillian seemed to be curious. She blinked as she looked at Fabian.It seemed that she had deep doubts about the word ‘boyfriend’ in her tiny head.In the evening after school, Fabian showed up on time to pick up Lillian.The female teacher who replaced Julie in the morning brought Lillian over. She had a very disdainful look on her face.“Mr. Johnson, you really are carefree. You still haven’t visited your girlfriend, but you’re so patient and careful with children. How can you not care about your girlfriend at all? Julie was hurt and got hospitalized because of you.”The female teacher told Fabian again.Fabian was confused. Julie was hospitalized because of him?He did not ask much, and he did not bother to explain his relationship with Julie either. He wanted to save some face for Julie, so he took
When Julie saw Fabian here, she almost could not believe her eyes. The tall good-looking figure and the handsome gentle face in her sight were all real.Fabian also spotted Julie. He greeted her very politely and courteously, “Miss Charles, how are you feeling? I didn't know you were in the hospital. That’s why I only came to see you now. My apologies.”Julie was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.On the other hand, Julie's mother quickly replied, “You’re too kind. It's already nice enough for you to come to visit Julie. What are you sorry for? Please sit down.”Julie's mother was very polite. Then, she bowed her head and asked Lillian kindly.“Little girl, you look so beautiful. What's your name?”Lillian blinked her big clear eyes and glanced at Fabian.“Her name is Lillian.”“Lillian? That's a really special and nice name. Come sit down, good girl.”“Mr. Johnson, Lily, you should sit down first.” Julie finally came back to her senses and greeted.Lillian turned
Julie was stunned. She did not think that this was what Fabian wanted to ask of her.She suddenly felt that she was too naive. She could feel that Fabian did not have any feelings for her, but she still had some unrealistic fantasies and expectations. She thought that this man would become interested in her.Despite the desolation in her heart, Julie remained indifferent and calm on the surface.“I'm so sorry about this. My colleagues have misunderstood. Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. When I go back to work, I’ll explain it to them.”“That's good.” Fabian expressed his relief, then he reached out and held Lillian's little hand. “Lily, wave goodbye to Miss Charles. We’re going home now.”Upon hearing this, Julie's heart sank again. She hoped that Fabian could stay longer, but she had no reason or status to ask Fabian to stay longer. Therefore, she smiled magnanimously at Lillian.“Lily, thank you for coming to see me. Bye.”Lillian nodded obediently with a grin. Then, she raised her l
“Miss Charles, it’s not necessary to say everything loudly and clearly. You’re secretly in love with the parent of a child in your class. The last time when my son was just playing around with that child, you treated it as such a serious matter and asked me to come to kindergarten. You even criticized my son in public and let that man lecture me so impolitely.“Hmph! This time, you accidentally hurt my son. How could there be such a coincidence? You’re clearly avenging private wrongs in the school! I'm not saying you can't fall in love with a student’s parent, but if you’re such a teacher, who would dare to put their children under your care again? Everyone, do you think I’m right?”The man incited public sentiment and tried to embarrass Julie, but the parent next to him was not swayed. Instead, they asked Julie calmly and rationally.“Miss Charles, are you really dating your student's parent? Does he have a family, or is he a divorced single parent?”“We don't want to interfere wi
As he looked at Fabian's dark and turbulent eyes, the man naturally did not dare to say anything else in case he was beaten up again.The man timidly turned his head and left. The other parents on the side also understood the situation when they saw this scene.It seemed that the man felt guilty, and they had heard what Fabian said, so they comforted Julie one after another.“I really didn't think such a person would exist. Miss Charles, don't take it to heart.”“That's right. How could there be such a parent? What a weirdo.”“Yeah, we're relieved to leave our children under your care, Miss Charles.”When she heard the indignant words of other parents, Julie felt a lot more at ease.She raised her eyes and glanced at Fabian. She felt an indescribable sense of comfort from his timely appearance.She walked over and wanted to have a word with Fabian. Coincidentally, Fabian also came over and handed Lillian to Julie.“Miss Charles, I'm relieved to see you back at your post. I’m g
After Fabian sent Lillian to school and went back to his office, he focused on his work.He knew that only when he became stronger and more stable could he take better care of Lillian and give her a better future.At present, he was trying to find an expert. What he wanted the most was to cure Lillian's inability to speak, but it seemed that there was no hope.Fabian fiddled with his phone and opened the photo album.This was an exclusive album, which only contained the private photos of him and Lillian.He regarded this album as a hidden secret that he did not want anyone to know. He cherished these photos.Most of the photos documented Lillian's daily life, and of course, there were many photos of them together.When he saw the photos of Lillian being sick and hospitalized a while ago, it made him feel distressed for a while. The cute dollface was thin and haggard.“Lily, I won't let you suffer anymore.”Fabian looked at Lillian's photo and made a solemn promise.He put awa
