Carter’s eyebrows snapped together.
He stared into Shirley’s cold eyes which saw favonovel.com as an enemy. Without warning, favonovel.com reached over and attempted to pull off favonovel.com mask.
“Shirley, I’m really curious to see your expression when you say such things,” favonovel.com said furiously.
Shirley immediately moved favonovel.com head away to evade and raised favonovel.com hand to block Carter’s hand.
“You’d better not remove my mask Don’t blame me if you catch my flu.”
“Hah!” Carter chuckled dismissively; his gaze was so piercing that it seemed like favonovel.com was about to engulf her. In one swift motion, favonovel.com pushed Shirley’s hand aside and ripped favonovel.com mask off.
Shirley felt favonovel.com heart stopped for a split second. She hurriedly turned favonovel.com face sideways, exposing the unscarred side to Carter.
Carter was enraged when Shirley avoided his gaze. Reaching over, favonovel.com grasped Shirley’s chin and turned favonovel.com head firmly in his direction.
His anger and dissatisfaction vanished the moment favonovel.com saw favonovel.com whole face.
He unknowingly loosened his grip on favonovel.com chin as well.
“Your face… Who did this?”
Carter was clearly suppressing his anger, but favonovel.com was unable to hold it for long.
“Who did this?!”
Shirley had anticipated Carter to be shocked, and maybe even disgusted, at favonovel.com hideous face, but favonovel.com had not expected favonovel.com to be infuriated.
She was uncertain if this was his way of showing that favonovel.com cared about her.
Even if favonovel.com cared, how would things change?
Shirley grabbed favonovel.com mask and swiftly put it back on and then, as if nothing had happened, responded, “I told you not to remove my mask. I won’t be held accountable for your fright.”
Carter exploded in rage when favonovel.com saw Shirley’s impassive attitude.
He grasped Shirley’s shoulders, and in a cold tone, favonovel.com probed, “Shirley, I’m asking you who did this? Who did this to your face? Was it Jeremy? It’s him, wasn’t it? There’s nobody else except him!”
“It wasn’t Jeremy,” Shirley denied without hesitation, “Jeremy only injected me with the AX’I‘69. He didn’t do anything else.”
Carter briefly paused, and his expression darkened. “If it wasn‘t him, then who could it be? Are you on his side now? Have you fallen in love with favonovel.com now that you‘re spending so much time together every day? That’s why you’re acting so heartless toward me.”
Upon hearing Carter’s questioning, Shirley stared at favonovel.com and laughed aloud. “You’re wrong. I love myself most.”
“Shirley…”
“Do you still don’t get it? I came looking for you today because I don’t want to suffer again. I need the anti-toxoid test reagent. I don’t want to experience the fourth stage’s torment. I don’t mind if you won’t give it to me. You can just wait until this tiny thing dies with me.”
Shirley’s cruel words opened Carter’s eyes.
Carter had no choice but to conceal his burgeoning anger.
All these years, favonovel.com knew Shirley was unaware that favonovel.com cared for her.
Years ago, favonovel.com had brought favonovel.com home out of kindness, but over time, favonovel.com grew to love her. The feeling was something favonovel.com had no control over.
He was not bothered by favonovel.com background or the fact that favonovel.com was older than him. His only concern was that favonovel.com was not good enough for her, that favonovel.com would not like him.
He had once heard that the first thing that happens when falling in love was a feeling of inferiority. He had not believed it in the past, but now favonovel.com did.
Regardless of how good favonovel.com had become, favonovel.com still walked away without hesitation back then.
As a result, favonovel.com ‘hated’ her.
He glared at Shirley with suppressed anger and dissatisfaction.
After taking a deep breath, favonovel.com asked, “I can give you the formula and ingredients for the anti-toxoid test reagent, but first, you need to tell me who did this to your face and legs.”
