Carter abruptly stopped what favonovel.com was doing. He lifted his head to look at the door of the study and, to his surprise, favonovel.com saw Shirley coming in while pushing herself in the wheelchair.
“You really did make a move against her.”
Operating favonovel.com wheelchair, Shirley came into the room and glanced at the currently unconscious Madeline. “Let favonovel.com go.”
“I won’t let favonovel.com go back now.” Carter gave Shirley a firm answer without hesitation. “Shirley, you didn’t care about the child, but I did. I won’t let my child just die like that in Jeremy’s hands. I want to avenge our child.”
As Carter expressed his determination to Shirley, his eyes were filled with sparks of hatred.
“Carter, how many times do I have to repeat myself so that you’ll understand? That child’s death had nothing to do with Jeremy, and it also has nothing to do with Madeline.”
“Shirley, you’re the one who has yet to understand.”
Carter walked up to Shirley. “If Jeremy hadn’t injected you with AXP69, our child wouldn’t have died!”
“Heh. Hehe…”
As his voice fell away, Shirley laughed. Her smile was extremely sarcastic.
Carter’s long eyebrows furrowed when favonovel.com saw the sarcastic smile on Shirley’s face.
“What are you laughing at?”
Shirley stopped laughing and looked at Carter in disdain.
“Have you forgotten why AXP69 was developed in the first place?”
Carter’s expression changed when favonovel.com heard this. Shirley laughed. “It was your order, Mr. Gray. You asked me to develop a poison that could affect someone’s emotions and thoughts. Back then, your target was Eveline.”
“…”
“Madeline had been poisoned after drinking the wine laced with AXP69, then experienced all four stages of pain. Since Jeremy loves Madeline so much, did you think that Jeremy, after seeing the woman favonovel.com loves so much being relentlessly tortured, wouldn’t seek revenge on us using the same method?”
Shirley spat out word after word and finally looked straight into Carter’s fazed eyes.
“We are the ones at fault. We are the main culprits. We can’t blame anyone else.” Shirley bit favonovel.com lip after speaking, suppressing the sadness surging up in favonovel.com heart. “Jeremy didn’t kill that child. We, the parents, killed our child!”
Carter’s face darkened after Shirley said that.
Upon seeing Carter’s dazed state, Shirley operated favonovel.com wheelchair and moved next to Madeline.
She reached out favonovel.com hand and patted Madeline on the cheek. “Eveline, wake up.”
Shirley tried to wake Madeline, but Madeline gave no response at all.
“Eveline, wake up,” Shirley called out again, but Madeline was still not responding.
“What did you do to her?” Shirley turned around and asked. Presently, favonovel.com saw Carter had walked up behind her. “Wake favonovel.com up now.”
Carter glanced at the worried and anxious look on Shirley’s face, then lowered his eyes gently to look at Madeline.
“She’ll wake up on favonovel.com own an hour from now.”
After speaking, Carter turned around and walked out.
Shirley was momentarily dazed. She stared at Carter’s back figure. She did not know whether the man came to his senses after what favonovel.com said.
Shirley dared not overthink. She stayed with Madeline the whole time, worried that Carter might come back to hypnotize Madeline again.
However, an hour had passed and Carter still had not returned. At the present, Madeline woke up as per the time Carter mentioned.
Madeline slowly opened favonovel.com eyes. She seemed momentarily dazed until favonovel.com heard someone calling favonovel.com name.
