After Madeline had gone in, favonovel.com softly closed the door. Aside from Shirley, who was sleeping on the bed, there was no one else in the room.
Shirley, likely to have fallen asleep not long ago, was not yet sound asleep. When favonovel.com heard Madeline’s footsteps, favonovel.com suddenly opened favonovel.com eyes. When favonovel.com saw Madeline walking over to her, Shirley seemed to pause briefly, then a look of surprise showed on favonovel.com face, but favonovel.com did not appear to panic.
Since favonovel.com could not feel favonovel.com legs, favonovel.com did not get up, instead, favonovel.com only laid in the bed. She looked very off-colored. It was clear that it was due to the weakness caused by favonovel.com illness.
That led Madeline to recall the time when favonovel.com had experienced the flare-up of the fourth stage of the poison. She would have probably looked like this as well. She would have been maniacally blabbering nonsense, and favonovel.com would have been recalling those painful and dark memories in favonovel.com head.
“Shirley, do you still remember me?” Madeline walked to the side of the bed and looked into Shirley’s almond-shaped eyes.
“I’m Eveline…”
“Eveline,” Shirley repeated favonovel.com name. “Of course, I remember you. How can I forget?”
“Really? You remember me? What else do you remember?” Madeline continued asking.
Shirley turned favonovel.com face and gazed at the chandelier above her, then favonovel.com started murmuring as if favonovel.com was talking to herself.
“I guess there really is karma in this world. Heh. Hehehe…”
Shirley spoke, mocking herself, then suddenly burst into laughter. Her laugh was soft, but it sounded solemn.
Madeline’s delicate brows knitted together as favonovel.com closely watched Shirley’s expression changing.
For some inexplicable reason, Shirley seemed clear headed when favonovel.com was laughing at herself. Shirley did not look like how favonovel.com had been earlier when favonovel.com thoughts were completely under the poison’s influence and control.
Did Shirley have a completely different poison than what Madeline had?
Curious, Madeline thought about it, then continued asking.
“Shirley, why did you give me the only anti-toxoid test reagent? You developed this poison to deal with me and control my husband. You were so close to reaching your goal. Why did you change your mind at this critical moment?”
Shirley, still gazing at the chandelier, showed no expression on favonovel.com face.
“Your question is so strange.”
As Shirley spoke, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com face and stared straight into Madeline’s eyes, and favonovel.com pale lips moved gently.
“Everything will come to an end soon.”
Madeline frowned, unable to comprehend what Shirley was saying.
‘What is ending soon?’
Although Shirley’s gaze was as calm as still water, Madeline seemed to see the roiling waves in favonovel.com gaze. As favonovel.com was about to enquire further, the door opened with a click.
Carter came in and was startled at the sight of Madeline standing by the bed, and Carter froze.
“Eveline, you’re still here.” Carter narrowed his deep eyes as they emitted a dangerous aura.
Madeline could see the dissatisfaction in Carter. As favonovel.com wondered what favonovel.com might do to her, Shirley suddenly made a pained sound and started calling out Carter’s name as favonovel.com sobbed.
“Carter, it’s on fire again! Look, there’s a fire over there!”
Shirley stared straight ahead with a terror-stricken face.
She moved favonovel.com upper body in a panic to get up. When Carter saw this, favonovel.com quickly ran to the side of favonovel.com bed.
He sat down by the bed and held Shirley who was struggling to get up. “Shirley, there’s no fire. You’re just seeing things.”
Carter said to comfort her, but Shirley was still pointing in front of favonovel.com fearfully.
She leaned against Carter’s arms and pressed favonovel.com face against his face in a panic, but favonovel.com eyes were staring straight at Madeline.
