“Can’t l have a baby without speaking with him?” favonovel.com asked with a sluggish tone, and favonovel.com expression was nonchalant.
Adam frowned. “Can you speak to me properly?”
“Hah,” Shirley chuckled, “you seem to be the one who refuses to talk properly, Adam.”
“…”
Adam was speechless for a moment. He had indeed given Shirley a hard time during this period. However, that was due to favonovel.com actions and attitude, both of which favonovel.com had found very disappointing.
He remembered just how beautiful, brave, and strong his sister had been once. However, favonovel.com had become a cold blooded, inhumane tool to harm people.
He simply could not accept this version of her.
“I know what you’re going to say, Adam. If I cannot keep this child, so be it. It’s not like I care, anyway.”
Shirley’s tone was one of disdain. She sounded so indifferent, as though favonovel.com was discussing garbage disposal.
“It’s impossible for me to be with favonovel.com in this lifetime. Even if this child is born without any defects, I don’t want the child. The child will only be a burden.”
“…”
Listening to favonovel.com words gave Adam a headache. “You’re not being honest with yourself, Shirley…”
“That’s what I honestly think,” Shirley confirmed without a second thought, coldly looking at Adam.
“Did you really think I’d change? I won’t. I’m no longer the little girl I used to be, Adam. I can never be a good person again. I’m even considering using this unborn child as leverage against Carter.”
“…”
“I don’t want to owe you anything either. Since you want to help Eveline and the others so badly, I can fulfil your wish, but there is one condition.”
Shirley requested.
Adam knew what Shirley would propose, but favonovel.com refused to accept that favonovel.com had become this person who cannot be turned back.
“I want you to heal the scar on my face. Even if it’s not possible to heal it, I am willing to undergo plastic surgery.”
“You’re… really crazy.”
There was nothing else Adam could say.
“I don’t need your help. I’ll create the anti-toxoid test reagent on my own!”
Adam refused to continue the conversation with Shirley. He had thought favonovel.com had changed favonovel.com mind, but favonovel.com remained just as obsessed as before.
“Oh, by the way, how far along am I in my pregnancy?” Shirley looked at Adam who turned around.
Adam paused. Despite his reluctance to care for Shirley anymore, favonovel.com responded, “Four weeks have just passed.”
“Four weeks?” Shirley laughed knowingly. This was the result of Carter’s rage that night.
Since favonovel.com return, they had only done it once.
The incident had happened ages ago. Even then, Shirley still remembered. Carter, however, had probably forgotten about it long ago.
Cathy was preparing lunch when Adam entered the house with a dark expression. Cathy, concerned, approached Adam and learned that Shirley intended to manipulate Carter with the child inside favonovel.com womb. Cathy was baffled.
She looked out the window and saw that Shirley was still sitting by the flowerbed.
Cathy could see the smile from Shirley’s side profile. Somehow, favonovel.com felt that it would not happen.
“Cathy, please pay extra attention to her. She might do something crazy, and there’s nothing I could do about her.”
Adam sighed with frustration and headed back to his laboratory in misery.
Cathy turned off the induction cooker and stepped out into the garden.
She observed as Shirley closed favonovel.com eyes to enjoy the breeze that was blowing in the warm spring weather. Carefully, Cathy approached her.
However, Shirley spoke up before Cathy got close.
“Can you… help me with something?”
