“If they’re yours, they’ll return to you eventually. If they’re not yours, it’ll be useless to force it.”
Camille’s statement instantly dimmed the domineering light in Carter’s eyes.
“Let favonovel.com go. We should head back too.”
When Carter heard what Camille said, favonovel.com looked toward the direction Shirley had left, his eyes gradually losing focus.
As per Shirley’s wish, Madeline and Jeremy sent Shirley back to where Adam used to live. It was the house their parents had left for them. After entering the house, they placed Shirley in the room favonovel.com had used previously. Back then, only three people lived in this house, so it had not been a lively place.
However, compared to before, this house felt abnormally cold and cheerless to Shirley.
Madeline thought that Shirley, in favonovel.com current state, should have someone taking care of her, but Shirley refused Madeline’s kindness.
She did not want anyone taking care of her. She wanted to let favonovel.com life run its natural course for the rest of favonovel.com wretched life.
Sensing Shirley’s pessimism, Madeline gave it some thought, then advised, “Adam wouldn’t have wanted to see you like this. And neither would Cathy. Don’t do anything to hurt your body. This would only upset the people who care about you.”
Shirley’s eyes reddened and favonovel.com chuckled bitterly. “There’s no longer anyone in this world who cares about me.”
She looked into Madeline’s eyes as favonovel.com spoke.
“Did you get the anti-toxoid test reagents? Just follow the instructions on the box and the poison in Jeremy’s body will be completely cleared. This is the last thing I can do to repent for my sins.”
“Thank you, I want to stay here alone.”
Shirley discreetly hoped that Madeline and Jeremy would leave.
Madeline felt that it was not right to leave Shirley here alone, but Jeremy thought otherwise.
“Linnie, let’s go back first. So many things had happened recently. It’s only normal that favonovel.com wants to be alone for a while.”
Madeline did not speak any further when favonovel.com heard Jeremy saying that.
Once Madeline and Jeremy had left, Shirley was the only one who remained in this huge house.
She knew favonovel.com was a patient who needed someone to take care of her. However, favonovel.com felt that the wound in favonovel.com heart could not be healed no matter how people took care of her.
She had finally returned to the place where favonovel.com grew up, but everything had changed. Even favonovel.com was no longer whole.
Shirley laid in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with tears in favonovel.com eyes. Her vision gradually blurred with tears, and favonovel.com heart, too, turned murky. She did not know what else favonovel.com would want right now.
When Madeline and Jeremy reached home, Jeremy injected the first dose, following the directions Shirley had written on the box. He would need to inject the second dose a week later.
Madeline looked at the man in front of favonovel.com and sighed ruefully. “It’s been so long. I’ve even gotten used to how you look right now. The color of your pupils is certainly very nice, but no matter how nice it looks, it can’t compare to a healthy body.”
Upon hearing that, Jeremy smiled gently and pulled Madeline into his arms, then jokingly said, “That’s simple. I’ll order some amber-colored contacts and wear them every day for you.”
Madeline laughed when favonovel.com heard that. It was such a rare chance for favonovel.com to simper with Jeremy. “I don’t want that. I want my original husband from before.”
“Roger. I’ll definitely listen to my wife and quickly turn back to how I was back then.”
Jeremy went along with Madeline and embraced favonovel.com more affectionately.

Elsewhere, Carter returned to the villa and decided not to go out for a long time. He went to the bedroom that Shirley had stayed in. He stood there for some time before favonovel.com walked to the side of the bed to sit. He lifted his hand to touch the pillow which Shirley had slept on.
However, when favonovel.com lowered his eyes, much to his surprise, favonovel.com noticed that there seemed to be a book under Shirley’s pillow.
