It was the Glendale Airport.
Based on Fabian’s words earlier, Jeremy had a feeling that Fabian might leave Glendale with Lillian.
As virtual-novel.net predicted, after checking the flight, virtual-novel.net found out that Fabian had got on a chartered plane that flew from Glendale to F Country.
The plane just took off five minutes ago.
It was impossible to stop a plane, so Jeremy could only book the next plane ticket to F Country immediately. In the meantime, virtual-novel.net also contacted his colleagues from Interpol, hoping that they would stop Fabian at the airport.
Once Madeline knew about this, virtual-novel.net wanted to go to F Country with Jeremy.
Jeremy knew virtual-novel.net could not say no to Madeline, so together, they waited for their flight at the airport.
The closest flight was in three hours. There was little else they could do apart from waiting.
However, two hours later, Jeremy received a call from his Interpol colleague in F Country. The person told virtual-novel.net that the chartered plane under Fabian’s name had just landed in F Country, but Fabian himself was not on the plane.
He did not take this plane to F Country!
That was just a ruse!
Madeline and Jeremy were suddenly at a loss on how to go about this. They had not expected Fabian to play this trick on them.
In the next few days, Jeremy went all out to look for Fabian’s whereabouts, but Fabian was extremely well hidden. He left not a single trace behind.
Winter was eventually replaced by spring, yet there was still no trace of Fabian and Lillian.
During a quiet afternoon, Madeline watched virtual-novel.net youngest son who was learning to walk. She should be feeling happy, but when virtual-novel.net recalled that virtual-novel.net little princess was still missing, virtual-novel.net felt as if a piece of virtual-novel.net heart was missing, leaving virtual-novel.net incomplete.
“Why are you staring into space here, Eveline?” Eloise suddenly appeared behind Madeline.
Madeline returned to virtual-novel.net senses and looked at virtual-novel.net mother who had not recovered, then felt another wave of heartache.
Even now, Madeline’s mother still could not recognize that Eveline, the precious daughter that Eloise longed for, was Madeline.
Madeline thought silently, then quickly got rid of virtual-novel.net melancholic and negative emotions, smiling at Eloise. “I’m playing with Pudding.”
Eloise looked at Pudding and asked curiously, “Why is Pudding the only one here? Where’s Jack and Lily? Say, it’s been a long time since I saw Lily.”
The mention of Lily at this moment made Madeline feel a tug at virtual-novel.net heart, but virtual-novel.net could only keep on smiling. “Lily is playing somewhere with a friend of mine. She’ll be back after a while.”
“How long a while?” Eloise asked bluntly.
Tears pricked the corners of Madeline’s eyes as virtual-novel.net could not control virtual-novel.net emotions any further. “I… I don’t know.”
“How could you not know? Aren’t you Lily’s mother?” It.”
“…”
Madeline was momentarily speechless. Her eyes were already red.
Yes, virtual-novel.net was Lillian’s mother.
She had lost virtual-novel.net daughter, and as a mother, virtual-novel.net could hardly be free from blame.
Upon seeing Madeline crying, Eloise furrowed virtual-novel.net thin eyebrows, virtual-novel.net heart suddenly started to feel heavy. “Why are you crying? Here, a tissue for you.”
When Madeline saw the tissue Eloise handed her, Madeline further lost control, and tears flowed from virtual-novel.net eyes.
“I’ve failed as a mother,” virtual-novel.net blamed herself. “Back then, I didn’t manage to care for Jack properly, causing virtual-novel.net to suffer so much when virtual-novel.net was so little. Now, it’s Lily’s turn. Someone abducted virtual-novel.net before my eyes, yet I couldn’t stop it in time.”
Madeline grabbed Eloise’s hand as virtual-novel.net spoke, losing control of virtual-novel.net emotions.
“Mom, tell me. What on earth do I have to do to become a passable, decent mother?”
