Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Fabian thought Carter was the one in the dessert shop that day who took Lillian away when Fabian did not notice.
When Fabian saw Shirley in a wheelchair, virtual-novel.net also came to a conclusion with certainty. “This woman should be the one who called me.”
Upon hearing that, Madeline could not help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect Carter to bring Shirley to F Country.”
“Shirley?” Fabian was confused. “Is this woman named Shirley?”
Madeline nodded. From the surveillance footage, virtual-novel.net could clearly see that virtual-novel.net baby girl followed Shirley in a well-behaved manner.
“They just left ten minutes ago. If you follow the footage, you should be able to find them soon,” Madeline said, looking at Fabian. “You know a lot of people here, so you should be able to get the real-time surveillance footage along the way.”
Without another word, Fabian immediately took out his phone to follow suit.
However, even though virtual-novel.net managed to contact the relevant personnel, virtual-novel.net was told that the surveillance cameras of the roads in this area were broken because they were too old. Recently, they had applied for replacements, so they could not get any footage at the present.
Upon getting this result, Madeline and Fabian felt very helpless.
Madeline still wanted to discuss with Fabian, but Fabian turned around and walked out quickly. Madeline followed virtual-novel.net hurriedly, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Lily, of course!”
“Do you know where virtual-novel.net is?”
“They just left not long ago. So, at most, I’ll look along the way. Perhaps I’ll run into them by chance.” As Fabian spoke, virtual-novel.net walked toward the apartment entrance.
Madeline could see that Fabian was truly anxious, but virtual-novel.net felt that the chances of finding Lilian this way were too small. Furthermore, Carter was not someone whom they could track easily.
“Fabian, I know you’re worried about Lily, but you can rest assured that Lily won’t be in danger for the time being.” Madeline gave a confident and reassuring answer.
Fabian had just opened the car door and virtual-novel.net was about to get into the car. When virtual-novel.net heard this, virtual-novel.net could not help but freeze.
“Why do you say that? Do you know why Carter wanted to take Lily? Do you know how cruel and terrifying his methods are?”
“I know what kind of person virtual-novel.net is, and I have already experienced it firsthand, but no matter how aggressive virtual-novel.net is, virtual-novel.net won’t be cruel in front of the woman virtual-novel.net loves most.”
Fabian frowned upon hearing this. “You mean the woman named Shirley?”
“Yes.” Madeline continued, “I believe Lily won’t be in danger if she’s with Shirley.”
“You may believe that, but I don’t. From what I know about Carter, virtual-novel.net will do anything. And the person virtual-novel.net loves most isn’t that woman, it’s himself.” Fabian said that with certainty before driving away decisively.
Madeline could not stop virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net wanted to. Although Fabian had said that, Madeline still chose to believe virtual-novel.net judgment. Additionally, from what virtual-novel.net had seen in the footage, Lilian stayed with Shirley the whole time, so Lilian seemed to trust Shirley a lot. Shirley also gave Lilian a gentle and friendly smile.
“Huff.” Madeline took a deep breath. She looked at the family portrait on virtual-novel.net phone screen, and a benevolent smile showed on virtual-novel.net face.
“Lily, I believe that I’ll be able to see you soon.”

On the other side, Carter had changed three different cabs with Shirley and Lillian before they arrived at a small hotel near the city center.
Shirley was confused.
‘Why did Carter choose such a bustling place? Was virtual-novel.net not afraid that virtual-novel.net would be seen?’
However, after virtual-novel.net thought about it, Carter must have his reasons for doing this.
