Chapter 326 Go To Hell

As they spoke, they reached a stall. Federick was taking his daughter, Madeline, around and giving out his books. He was as elegant and dignified as always. Madeline was eleven years old. She was a beautiful child. Her eyes were big and bright, but she was rather reserved. For the most part, she kept quiet. “Federick, hey. Look who’s here.” Gemma carried Desi over. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Desi?” Federick was shocked. “I thought Samuel isn’t free today?” “Hello, Mr. Evans,” said Desi adorably. Federick patted her on the head. “Long time no see, Desi.” “Ms. Young, put me down,” said Desi. Gemma let her down gently. After getting down, Desi went over to Madeline’s side. She grabbed her hand. “Hi, Madeline.” Madeline looked at her and nodded. Federick glanced at the two girls. Until now, Madeline was still not great at taking the initiative to socialize with others. However, Desi seemed to possess some kind of charm which made Madeline willing to socialize with her. As expected of Kathleen’s daughter. “Mr. Evans, let me introduce you to Gizem. She is Desi’s doctor.

She is the one who brought Desi here today,” said Gemma. Federick was taken aback. “You brought Desi here?” Gizem nodded. Federick was in disbelief. “Gizem, this is Federick Evans. He’s the one who published all these picture books. The contents are related to children with autism,” stated Gemma slowly. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Evans.” Gizem extended her hand. Federick followed suit and shook her hand while sizing her up at the same time. In his opinion, Gizem wasn’t particularly pretty. She looked to be an average woman. However, her eyes were extraordinarily bright. It instantly reminded him of Kathleen.

“Pleasure to meet you.” Federick’s expression was neutral. Kathleen and Gizem’s eyes were identical. This caused Federick to worry. What if Samuel misses Kathleen too much and starts a relationship with Gizem? Nevertheless, at the same time, he knew that Samuel was not that stupid. The moment Madeline saw Gizem, she was stunned. She let go of Desi’s hand and ran over to Gizem, hugging her. This shocked everyone around. “Hello!” Madeline was very emotional. Gizem was quite confused.

Federick went over immediately. “Madeline, let go of her please.” Madeline shook her head. She tightened her grip around Gizem’s waist. “It’s Ms. Johnson!” “I’m so sorry.” Federick looked at Gizem awkwardly. In response, Gizem shook her head. “It’s fine. Just let her hug me.” “My daughter isn’t usually like this.

The only person she acts this way around is Kathleen,” stated Federick meaningfully. Gizem furrowed her eyebrows. “You mean Mr. Macari’s wife?” “That’s right.” Federick took hold of Desi’s hand. “My daughter has autism. Previously, she never interacted with anyone. Her condition only improved after she met Kathleen. When Kathleen passed away five years ago, my daughter was devastated for quite some time. It’s only recently that she’s been doing better.” This showed how much Madeline adored Kathleen. Gizem replied politely, “I see. But, I’m not Kathleen.” “I know, but maybe you guys are the same kind of person,” answered Federick. That was why Madeline took such a liking to Gizem. “No, it’s her!” Madeline shook her head vigorously. “She’s Ms. Johnson.” She remembered Kathleen’s eyes. “Be good, Madeline. Let’s finish giving out the books to the other children first, okay?” Federick tugged at Madeline’s hand. However, the girl shrugged her father’s hand away. Federick was put in a very awkward position. “Dr. Zabinski, please take good care of Madeline. Federick, let me help you out,” said Gemma. “Mr. Evans, I can help too,” said Desi. “Thank you."

Federick caressed Desi’s head. This was the first time Gizem was faced with such a situation. None of them seemed to want to help her out as well. “Madeline, can you let go of me for a minute? I won’t run away. Please?” pleaded Gizem. Fortunately, Madeline was very obedient. She instantly let go of Gizem. Gizem breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you for liking me. However, I am not Ms. Johnson. My name is Gizem. It’s nice to meet you.” She reached her hand out. Madeline shook her hand whilst shaking her head hard. “No. You are Ms. Johnson.” In a resigned tone, Gizem said, “You can treat me as her if you’d like.” “You are her!” Madeline was overjoyed. She grabbed Gizem’s hand and went over to give out books along with everyone else. “Madeline, do you like Ms. Zabinski too?” asked Desi cheerfully. Madeline nodded. Desi smiled. “Me too. Let me tell you something. She smells like Mommy.” Madeline pondered for a while before nodding seriously. “Yes. She smells like Ms. Johnson.” Federick

gazed meaningfully at Madeline, his thin lips curling into a smile. One hour later, they were done giving out all the books. Since this was a charity event, there wasn’t much profit to be earned. Regardless, everyone felt very fulfilled.

“I need to go to the washroom,” said Desi. Madeline grabbed her hand and led her toward the washroom. Even though she was a child with autism, she understood that as the older one, it was her responsibility to take care of Desi. “I’ll keep an eye on them.” Gizem followed the two girls. She couldn’t let Desi out of her sight. After the two girls headed into the washroom, Gizem waited outside. Just then, a woman came up to her. “Can I borrow a lighter?” “I don’t smoke,” replied Gizem flatly. The woman suddenly raised her head. There was a gleam in her eyes. “Then, go to hell!” With that, she pulled out a knife and aimed it at Gizem’s stomach. Fortunately, Gizem reacted quickly. She swiftly grabbed hold of the woman’s wrist. Coincidentally, Madeline and Desi came out of the washroom. “Go back inside!” yelled Gizem. The two children were frightened and too stunned to move. The woman turned around and shouted behind her, “Don’t just stand there!” Following her order, four men came rushing in. D*mn it! The four men headed straight toward Madeline and Desi. Just as the two girls were prepared to scream, the men sprayed some sort of chemical on their faces and knocked them out. Then, the men picked up the two children and headed out. Meanwhile, Gizem was still holding onto the woman’s wrist. She twisted the woman’s arm to the side, then raised her leg to kick the woman in the stomach. The woman heard a crack as her bones broke. Immediately after, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The pain caused her to collapse to the floor. Gizem quickly ran out to catch up to the men and grabbed one of them by the shoulder. The man turned and swung his fist at her face.

Gizem was still holding the knife that the woman used earlier. Using the knife, she sliced the man’s wrist as hard as she could. The man cried out miserably, knowing that his tendon had been cut through. His screams attracted a lot of attention around them. One of the men who was carrying Madeline flung her to the floor and headed over in Gizem’s direction. At this point, Gizem already knew that they were most likely targeting Desi. The two men that were carrying Desi had already gone much

further ahead. At that moment, Federick suddenly came running over. “What are you guys doing?” he roared.

The man immediately turned his focus toward Federick’s yell. Gizem let Federick deal with the man and went to rescue Desi. Please don’t let anything happen to Desi!
