She remembered favonovel.com calling favonovel.com this way back then, but it had been before favonovel.com left without notice.
Before that, Carter had truly been good to her.
“Shirley, don’t worry. No matter what happens to you, I’ll take care of you forever.”
Carter promised softly.
Shirley could not believe what favonovel.com heard. She felt favonovel.com heart skipping a beat, and tears escaped favonovel.com eyes disobediently once again.
Carter, noticing the tears in the corners of Shirley’s eyes, paused, looking pleasantly surprised.
“Shirley, you’re awake? Are you awake?”
Shirley did not want to keep up the act any further. She slowly opened favonovel.com wet, red eyes, and calmly met an elated Carter.
“I don’t need you to take care of me, and I won’t go back to St. Piaf with you. I want to die in Glendale, to die in my hometown. I want to be buried with my parents and brother.”
Shirley, determined, pulled favonovel.com hand away from Carter’s palm.
“I don’t want to see you again. Seeing you merely reminds me that I killed my brother and that innocent girl.”
She turned favonovel.com face as favonovel.com spoke. She refused to even let Carter be within favonovel.com line of sight.
Upon seeing how strongly Shirley resisted him, Carter clenched his fists, but favonovel.com kept the displeasure and annoyance in his heart off his face.
“Ada was the one who set the fire that killed Adam and Cathy. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Nothing to do with you?” Shirley laughed. “Even now, you’re still trying to play innocent.”
“I’m not playing innocent. That’s the truth.”
“We’ll just treat it as the truth, then. The truth is that I no longer have any love for you, only hate.”
“…”
“Carter, you and I are like two intersecting lines.” Shirley slowly opened favonovel.com tearful eyes. “Despite our vastly different statuses, we had come together, and after that most intimate stage, we went our separate ways. This is our ending. From now on, whether I live or die, I’ll have nothing to do with you. If you still have any sympathy or humanity in you, please respect my decision.”
Shirley’s decision momentarily stunned Carter.
Seeing favonovel.com avoiding his side glance, Carter pressed his lips together. He eventually turned around and left the room without uttering a word.
When Shirley heard the door closing, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes. She stared at the ceiling and smiled in relief. She felt lucky that favonovel.com had asked the runner to send the test reagents out the morning when Carter and Camille were busy preparing to return to St. Piaf.
Jeremy must have received it by now.
It had been such a long time. She had never thought about developing more anti-toxoid test reagents. She did not have what was required.
However, back then, favonovel.com finally had a chance to enter Carter’s laboratory. After favonovel.com finished developing the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69, favonovel.com also used this opportunity to finish developing the anti-toxoid test reagent that Jeremy needed.
The process of developing the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69 was very complicated because it was a newly developed poison.
However, the poison Jeremy had was a mature poison that had complete data, so favonovel.com could easily develop it as long as favonovel.com had the ingredients.
Shirley let out a silent sigh of relief. Even though favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com body was completely ruined, favonovel.com felt relieved for some reason.
“Addy, didn’t you wish that I’d repent one day? I’ve finally heeded your words, and I’ve earnestly fixed my mistakes. Will you forgive me?”
Shirley mumbled to herself. She knew favonovel.com could never again get the answer to this. When favonovel.com thought about how Adam and Cathy died because of her, favonovel.com could not forgive herself. She could not blame anyone. She affected everyone around favonovel.com because favonovel.com had been on the wrong path since the start.
Regardless, Shirley did not think that Carter would let favonovel.com off the hook just like that.
After some thought, Shirley lifted favonovel.com hand effortfully to press the call button to send a nurse over.
The nurse ran over quickly, thinking something had happened to Shirley. However, Shirley looked at favonovel.com sincerely and said, “Nurse, can you help me with something?”
