When Jeremy heard that, favonovel.com was surprised yet again. Similarly, Carter was dumbfounded, and his grip on Shirley’s shoulders loosened. “Shirley, what do you mean by this? What do you mean?!”
Shirley lifted favonovel.com wet, red eyes and chuckled bitterly. “I never wanted to give birth to that child in the first place.”
“…”
“I lied when I told you that the poison will affect the child’s growth. All I wanted was to get my hands on the ingredient for the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69.”
“What did you say?” Carter looked at Shirley in disbelief as favonovel.com said that.
“Now that I’ve already achieved what I wanted, there’s nothing left that I can’t bear to part with anymore.”
The light in Shirley’s eyes darkened slowly.
“Something bad happened to Addy and Cathy because of me, and they’re no longer here now. There’s no longer anyone in this world who truly cares about me or cares for me. I don’t need the anti-toxoid test reagent anymore. I just want to finish the end of my journey in peace.”
Every word Shirley spoke drained her, and when favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com pressed the switch on the wheelchair and moved forward on favonovel.com own.
The rain did not lighten, and Shirley’s figure in the wheelchair looked abnormally frail.
Carter immediately chased after her, and so did Jeremy.
“Shirley, what did you say? Did something bad happen to Adam and Cathy? What happened to them? Tell me!” Jeremy questioned anxiously.
When Carter saw that, favonovel.com went forward to stand between Jeremy and Shirley.
At that moment, Carter, his face and entire body drenched in rain, looked dark and cold.
“Jeremy, stay away from her!”
Of course, Jeremy ignored Carter. Presently, Jeremy only wanted to know Adam and Cathy’s situation.
It was just that when favonovel.com was about to ask for clarification, Carter reached out his hand to stop him. Jeremy was no pushover. No one could stop favonovel.com just because they wanted to.
However, Shirley let out a sudden cry of pain.
Carter immediately lowered his head to look over and saw Shirley clutching favonovel.com heart, favonovel.com body curling up, seemingly in debilitating pain.
“Shirley!”
Cater instinctively called out Shirley’s name in a concerned tone and carried favonovel.com in a bridal carry, then ran toward a car that was parked not far away.
Jeremy wanted to chase after them to find out what had happened, but when favonovel.com saw Shirley being in such a pained state, favonovel.com stopped.
He was not worried about Shirley. However, when favonovel.com thought about favonovel.com handing the last anti-toxoid test reagent over for Madeline and favonovel.com choosing to endure the poison with the child in favonovel.com womb, favonovel.com believed that Shirley wanted to turn over a new leaf.
Nonetheless, favonovel.com could not forgive her. He could not forgive everything Shirley had ever done previously.
Jeremy went back into the house and called everyone favonovel.com knew to enquire about Adam.
Dr. Adam Brown was fairly well-known in Glendale.
However, Jeremy asked everyone favonovel.com knew and no one knew anything about Adam’s recent situation.
Jeremy also called the hospital that Adam worked in. The hospital told favonovel.com that Adam had not been coming into work for some time, and they did not know why. No one knew where Adam went or what happened to him.
However, Jeremy suspected that something bad must have happened to Adam and Cathy.
Anxious, favonovel.com walked back to the bedroom. When favonovel.com looked at the still-sleeping Madeline, favonovel.com held favonovel.com hand gently.
“Linnie, what do you think I should do now?”
Jeremy was sick with worry when favonovel.com thought about what Shirley had said not long ago. He truly did not want to think about the worst-case scenario.
He still hoped that it was just an act put up by Shirley and Carter, hoping that Adam and Cathy were safe and sound.
