Chapter 260 Lillian’s Rising Fame
Fawks immediately caught on and said with a sly smile, “Lillian’s not in Solara. Even if you went, it’d be pointless p>
“Not there? No way. She doesn’t even have vacation right now,” Cameron asked curiously.
Fawks didn’t answer. He simply downed his glass with a faint smile.
Manny and the others grew impatient. “Come on, spit it out already, you’re killing us here p>
Sebastian picked up his phone and dialed a number, his voice cold. “Where’s Lillian p>
Foster, startled, replied quickly, “Sir, Ms. Harrington is in Kingston.” He had only just learned the news himself; normally he gave reports once a day, which caused delays.
Sebastian ended the call and immediately dialed again-but no one answered.
Fawks glanced over and chuckled. “Don’t bother. She’s definitely resting right now and won’t pick up p>
The moment he said it, the others turned their heads in unison, staring at him, exchanging puzzled looks.
“What’s going on?” Manny asked, his expression tense.
Fawks’s words left plenty of room for imagination, making suspicion inevitable.
Seeing their anxious faces, Fawks chuckled softly. “Relax. The only one who should be worried is Sebastian-why are you all so tense? Lillian was brought in by Geo to help. There were a few critical patients in the secure wing. Experts from home and abroad had tried, but none of them found answers. In the end, Geo claimed he had a solution. None of us expected that solution to be your little girl. When I saw her, even I was stunned. But I’ll admit it-her medical skills are astonishing. She floored everyone in the room. Even Dr. Jorge was completely convinced, praising her, without holding back. We stayed there late into the night, and when I finally left, she’d already gone. But Dr. Jorge said she looked pale when she left-probably from exhaustion. So right now, she’s most likely resting p>
Manny and the others froze, stunned.
“No way. Who would’ve thought little Lillian had this in her? Hiding such skill all along,” Cameron said, his face a picture of disbelief.
Fawks sipped his drink calmly. “I thought the same. You should’ve seen it—she sliced clean through a man’s major vessels, parasites pouring out, and she didn’t even flinch. Not a wrinkle on her brow. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s time I stick close to her, might even live longer that

way p>
Noreen’s fingers tightened white around her glass. That wench, she’s not even here, and they still praise her like a goddess. Even my childhood friends, the ones who should’ve been mine, all look at her instead.
Manny arched a brow, mischief lighting his eyes. “So, Fawks, planning to steal Sebastian’s girl? You really think he’s gonna let you hog her time p>
The table erupted in laughter.
Sebastian set down his wine and stood, his voice low and cold. “You all stay and drink. I’m leaving.” Without another word, he walked out.
Of course, everyone knew exactly where he was headed. They called after him, grinning. “Sebastian, give our regards to little Lillian! Let’s all hang out together sometime soon p>
Noreen’s gaze followed his retreating figure, hatred boiling in her chest. Why has he never once looked my way? Not even once.
Outside the club, Foster already had the car door open.
As soon as Sebastian slid inside, his voice dropped, quiet but laced with fury. “Why am I only finding out now that Lillian is in Kingston p>
Foster bowed his head. “Punish me, sir. Any explanation would only sound like excuses p>
Sebastian’s eyes were dark, a glint of ice in their depths. Yet beneath the frost, a thread of worry lingered. “Erase all traces of her arrival in the capital. And has Nicholas been caught p>
“Our men are still pursuing him, but it’s as if he vanished,” Foster admitted.
Sebastian’s gaze sharpened, a mocking edge in his tone. “Slippery as an eel p>
