Chapter 2459
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.
“Little cutie, sleep at ease. I’ll always be with you,” Fabian promised softly. He walked to the seat at one side and waited quietly.
At this time, he took out his mobile phone and found that there were many missed calls, most of which were from Julie. There were also a few unfamiliar numbers he had never seen before.
However, he did not hear any of these calls. Fabian noticed that he had put his phone on silent unbeknownst to him.
He did not think much about it, and he really should have told Julie before leaving, but he was so worried about Lillian's health at the time that he could not think about anything else.
Fabian pressed the call back button, and the person on the other end of the phone picked up the call after it rang just a few times.
“Mr. Johnson!” Julie sounded very emotional. “Mr. Johnson, you finally called me back.”
“I'm sorry, Miss Charles. I forgot to tell you before I left,” Fabian apologized and then explained, “Lily was a little sick, so I took her to the hospital for a check-up. Since I was worried about Lily's condition, I didn't pay attention to my phone.”
“Is Lily not feeling well? How is she now?” Julie asked with concern, “Did she feel unwell because of the hike today?”
“Don’t worry, she's asleep now. She should just be tired. Don't worry too much, Miss Charles.”
“It’s good that Lily is fine.” Julie let out a sigh of relief.
Only now did she learn that Fabian had run with Lillian in his arms at that time because Lillian was unwell. Hence, he hurried to the hospital with Lillian in his arms.
He really cared about this kid very much.
After hanging up the phone, Julie sat on the hospital bed in a trance. As she looked at her hands that were covered with gauze and also at her right foot which could not move at will for the moment, her heart felt even more aggrieved.
She fell and was injured because she wanted to remind Fabian to walk slowly and not run, but in the end, she did not receive his concern at all.
“Heh, Julie, what were you doing?” Julie asked herself in distress, but she could not get an answer in the end.
After two days off on the weekend, Fabian called Evan to come to the house to check on Lillian twice. After confirming that Lillian was okay, Fabian sent Lillian to the kindergarten with confidence on a new Monday morning.
After arriving at kindergarten, Fabian saw the other female teacher who had ‘lectured’ him that day. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Fabian thought Julie applied for leave, so he asked casually, “Is Miss Charles not here today?”
The female teacher was stunned and looked at Fabian in surprise, “Mr. Johnson, how could you ask such a thing?”
Fabian frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
“...Mr. Johnson, are you even Julie's boyfriend? Is this how a boyfriend should act? Don’t you know that your girlfriend is in the hospital?” ’
