Time seemed to freeze the second the little girl said that word from virtual-novel.net mouth.
Madeline and Jeremy were stunned at the same time. They were unable to believe what they were hearing at this moment.
Jeremy even wondered if virtual-novel.net was hallucinating. Did his little princess just call virtual-novel.net ‘Daddy’?
However, Lillian was feeling confused. At this moment, what virtual-novel.net saw was virtual-novel.net father ignoring her. Her big eyes looked up at the motionless Jeremy while virtual-novel.net thick eyelashes lightly fanned. Then, a trace of loneliness flashed across virtual-novel.net clear eyes.
“Daddy,” Lillian opened virtual-novel.net mouth and called out again.
The childish and clear ‘Daddy’ echoed in Jeremy’s ears clearly.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net was sure that virtual-novel.net had not misheard.
It was not an illusion.
Jeremy squatted suddenly and looked at the tiny doll-like face in front of him. His eyes were brimming with tears.
“Lily.”
He raised his restrained hands and gently stroked Lillian’s small face.
“Lily, you can talk. You can call out to Daddy now.”
His heart was racing while his voice was trembling.
His Lillian could speak again!
He had waited for so many years, waiting for the child to call virtual-novel.net ‘Daddy’!
When Lillian felt Jeremy’s acceptance of her, a sweet smile blossomed on virtual-novel.net doll-like face.
However, virtual-novel.net did not understand why virtual-novel.net daddy’s eyes were red.
‘Is Daddy crying?
‘Why?’
Lillian blinked virtual-novel.net huge eyes and stretched out virtual-novel.net fair, tender little hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Jeremy’s eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net smiled innocently. Her sweet and adorable dimples healed Jeremy’s bitter and cold heart.
“Mr. Whitman, visitation is over.” The prison guard reminded him.
Jeremy wanted to hug the child right now, but virtual-novel.net had no choice but to let go.
However, the moment virtual-novel.net let go, the dimples on both sides of Lillian’s face also disappeared. There was no smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net looked at Jeremy, who was about to leave, in confusion.
She stepped forward again and grabbed Jeremy’s shirt tightly.
Jeremy lowered his head to see those clear eyes full of expectation and reluctance. He really did not want to hurt the child anymore, but virtual-novel.net had no choice now.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net should leave now because virtual-novel.net was feeling more and more uncomfortable.
He did not want Madeline and the child to see virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was being tortured by the poison.
Jeremy looked back at the stunned Madeline.
Madeline finally came back to virtual-novel.net senses before wiping the tears from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes. She then quickly walked to Lillian’s side and brutally pulled virtual-novel.net little hand from the corner of Jeremy’s clothes.
“Lily, go home with Mommy. Daddy is busy now and can’t play with you.” Madeline picked Lillian up.
Lillian pressed virtual-novel.net small mouth tightly together and watched Jeremy as virtual-novel.net walked away. Tears of grievances started falling uncontrollably from virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Lily, don’t cry.” Madeline comforted, but virtual-novel.net own eyes started to fill with tears as well.
She carried the crying little girl as they both looked at Jeremy’s frail back. She too started sobbing.
‘Jeremy, wait a little longer for me.
‘I will let everyone know who’s the true murderer behind Lana’s case.’
Madeline promised quietly and left with Lillian.
However, Lillian was still crying. Madeline comforted virtual-novel.net patiently and tried to coax the little girl into talking again.
However, the little girl did not make a sound no matter how much virtual-novel.net coaxed.
