Adam, who found this incredulous, stared at Shirley as favonovel.com handed favonovel.com a piece of note which contained a handwritten formula. The handwriting on it was elegant and neat.
“Why? Don’t you believe me?” Shirley asked, favonovel.com gaze blank, then immediately placed the note on the table.
Adam picked it up and briefly glanced over the contents. Based on the components and proportions written on the note, Adam noticed that the ones favonovel.com had found were largely accurate, except for one ingredient which favonovel.com had never seen before.
“What’s this?” Adam pointed at a name on the note in confusion.
“It’s the main ingredient of the anti-toxoid test reagent,” Shirley responded promptly without even looking.
“Where can I find it?”
“St. Piaf. Carter’s laboratory.”
“…”
“I’ve said so from the beginning. There’s no anti-toxoid test reagent at all because Carter’s the only one with access to this ingredient.”
Shirley calmly looked at Adam, favonovel.com eyes showing no sign of avoidance.
She had not lied about this. She truly did not possess any anti-toxoid test reagent. She only had the periodic single use anti-toxoid test reagents.
“This formula is worthless, then?” Adam’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
“It could work.”
Shirley sotmded determined.
“I can get my hands on the ingredient.”
When Adam heard her, favonovel.com fell silent and speculated in his mind.
“Shirley, don’t be reckless.”
Shirley’s lips curled up slowly as favonovel.com glanced down at favonovel.com still flat abdomen.
“Since favonovel.com won’t have a chance to be born into this world, why not maximize his last bit of value while he’s still in my tummy.”
She turned favonovel.com wheelchair around the moment favonovel.com finished speaking.
Adam gazed at the back of Shirley’s figure, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, the mobile phone on the table rang. Jeremy was calling, and Adam answered the phone right away.
Jeremy’s anxious voice filled the line.
“Adam, have you gotten any results? Linnie’s still unconscious. There’s nothing more the doctors here can do.”
Adam thought about what Shirley had just said. He pondered for a few seconds before responding.
“Soon. The anti-toxoid test reagent will be available very soon. I’ve gotten the formula.”
“Is this true?”
“Yeah,” Adam confirmed with a nod, “don’t worry. Eveline will definitely wake up.”
“I’m so relieved to hear,” Jeremy sounded reassured. Jeremy’s trust made Adam realize the significance of his mission.
However, Adam was also concerned for Shirley.
He set aside the tasks at hand and got up to find her. After searching around, favonovel.com found favonovel.com in the garden.
In the past few days, Shirley had not left favonovel.com room. She was finally willing to enter the garden.
Shirley was staring at the flowers and plants in the plot with sparkling eyes as Adam approached her. Her hands were gently placed on favonovel.com lower abdomen, and favonovel.com was unconsciously smiling.
She looked completely different from the heartless and wicked person favonovel.com had been, radiating an inexplicable maternal glow instead.
Adam knew that, deep down, Shirley yearned to have this child.
He walked up to favonovel.com and gently inquired, “Have you spoken with Carter?”
Shirley was jolted from favonovel.com reverie when favonovel.com heard him. Her hands casually moved away as favonovel.com glanced over the flowers and plants before favonovel.com with an air of indifference.
