chapter 2473

Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.

"Lily." Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. "Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you'll be able to speak soon."

Lillian was a sensible child, she raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.

Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.

If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.

Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.

Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.

"Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor."

Julie smiled and shook her head. "You stopped owing me anything when you came and helped me out. However, I'm still very happy to have a friend like you, Mr. Johnson. Let's have dinner together again if we have the chance."

"Okay." Fabian readily agreed. If they were just friends, he would not mind.

Julie stood there, watching Fabian walk farther and farther away. Suddenly, she took two steps forward.

"Mr. Johnson, I still have a question in my mind. I wonder if you can answer me."

When he heard the voice from behind him, Fabian slowly stopped.

He turned around, and a friendly smile appeared on his handsome face. "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you really have a girl you like?"

When Fabian heard that, he cast his soft gaze on Lillian's ignorant little face for a few seconds. Then, he answered. "My biggest wish right now is for Lily to grow up safely and healthily. I won't think about other things aside from work." When Julie heard what Fabian said, she did not feel glad at all.

From Fabian's eyes, she thought she could see a vague and subtle trace of concern and love.

She did not say anything anymore, and it was the same for Fabian. Then, he turned around with Lillian carefreely.

Soon, he disappeared from Julie's vision.

After a moment, she was unable to find this figure in the crowd.

Suddenly, Julie realized something. She would meet a lot of people in her life, but some of these people were just merely passing through her life.

May.

Glendale.

Ava, who was hospitalized because of Esther, had finally fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital. However, Daniel, who got hurt from protecting her, was still in a coma. He was only relying on IV drips to maintain his vital signs.

As long as Daniel was still unconscious, Ava would stay beside his bed.

Gina was still the same. Whenever she saw Ava, she would chase Ava away impatiently. However, as time went on, Gina seemed to get annoyed from repeating herself. Hence, she stopped speaking entirely and only coldly showed her dissatisfaction with Ava with an unpleasant expression.

Ava did not care about Gina's attitude. She did not wish for anything else in her heart and only hoped that Daniel would wake up soon.

Today, she came to the hospital ward early as usual, but when she entered the ward, the bed was empty.
