Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 2059

Madeline's heart pounded. If Carter saw her, she and Lillian would not only be unable to leave but also face even more difficult troubles.

She raised her hand to cover Lillian's little head. " Lily, get closer to me and don't look up. Be a good girl."

She whispered and immediately turned around while holding Lillian.

Madeline heard the elevator doors opening completely, and Carter's footsteps came not far behind her.

Worried that Carter would recognize her back, Madeline did not dare to walk too fast. She was afraid that this would attract Carter's attention, so she had to keep walking at a normal speed. Lillian very obediently buried her little head between Madeline's neck and remained motionless the whole time.

Although she was still young, she seemed to feel that her mother was worried about something, so she hugged Madeline even harder.

Madeline, who also felt Lillian's movements, bowed her head and softly comforted the cute little girl. "Don't be afraid of Lily, I'm here."

Lillian nodded her little head lightly without making a sound.

The cold-faced Carter was carrying a lunch box as he walked to the room.

Earlier, he went to at least five or six pharmacies, but none of them had the medicine Shirley wanted.

In the end, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked it up on the Internet and found that the medicine Shirley mentioned did not exist.

She had lied to him.

Why did she lie to him? Did she want to distract him so that she could do something?

The more Carter thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Suddenly, he increased his speed to walk to the room.

Madeline walked forward slowly, she noticed that the footsteps behind her suddenly got closer and became faster. She was a little uneasy; she wondered if Carter had found her. The moment Madeline decided to look back, Carter noticed Madeline.

At first, Carter had not been looking closely, but the back of this person holding the child made Carter feel that he had seen them before.

The moment Madeline's face popped out of his mind, Madeline also happened to look back to confirm the situation.

When their eyes met, Carter's face suddenly darkened.

"It's really you, Eveline."

He chuckled lightly, threw the lunch in his hand to the ground, and rushed towards Madeline quickly.

Madeline held Lillian tightly and ran forward without looking back.

Seeing Madeline quickening her pace and running forward, Carter also quickened his pace immediately. When he was passed by the hotel room door, he turned his head and looked.

Madeline heard Carter's footsteps getting closer, so she hugged Lillian tightly. "Eveline, you can't run away." Carter's nightmarish voice came from behind her. Madeline pressed her lips together tightly. No, now that things had reached this point, she had to protect her little princess, even if she had to do her best.

When she spotted the fire escape ahead, Madeline turned and went in without hesitation.

However, as soon as she walked into the fire escape, an arm suddenly grabbed her shoulders forcefully, and at the same time, a man also covered her mouth with his palm before Madeline could let out any sound.

Carter saw Madeline entering the fire escape, so he followed behind quickly.

However, upon entering, Carter somewhat hesitated.

The corridor was so quiet, and he seemed to be able to hear his breathing.

Carter could not help but furrow his eyebrows. He glanced towards the bottom of the stairs, but in the end, he chose to chase up the stairs.
