Chapter 1675

Adam tried recalling and nodded slightly. “I remember.” However, he was more perplexed now. “Who’s this person?”

Jeremy filled him in with every detail he had gathered, which Adam found inconceivable. “This person has quite the background. How did Shirley know him?”

“It is said that your sister appeared suddenly at the Gray Manor over ten years ago. Since then, your sister had constantly been with Carter, day and night, but then she left the Gray Manor for some unknown reason a few years back,” Madeline explained.

Adam’s long brows snapped together, his eyes betrayed his helplessness, hesitating to speak.

Madeline caught this change in his eyes. “Adam, why did your sister leave home back then? She would have been just a little girl more than ten years ago.”

Adam gave a melancholic and wry smile as he sat down on the chair, somewhat weakly.

“She has always misunderstood. She wrongly thought that our parents do not love her and that there’s no place for her in this family. In reality, our parents had only wanted to give her the best arrangement, but she was too stubborn. She’d rather cut off relations with us and leave this family. She’d also refused to listen to our explanation.”

Madeline and Jeremy shared a look after hearing this.

Although Adam did not provide the specifics, they could still feel his helplessness in this matter.

“She’s very smart. She has been smart since she was a child, and she’s able to learn everything in a snap. She’d said that her dream was to become a medical scientist like our parents. She is indeed very talented in medicine, so I thought that she would grow up to be an exceptional doctor, but in the end…”

Adam said with a sigh.

“She has achieved great attainments in this field, and the reagents she has studied on are avant-garde.

I think I’d need to spend some time examining it.”

“Eveline, why don’t you stay here for the time being? That way, when your condition flares up again, I could simultaneously provide immediate help and get the sample from this test tube.”

Adam suggested, showing a genuine consideration for Madeline’s physical condition.

“In that case, apologies in advance for the bother.” Jeremy immediately agreed on Madeline’s behalf.

“Linnie, we’ll move here tomorrow and stay for a while.”

Madeline raised her eyes in surprise. “Are you going to live here with me too?”

“Of course, he’d want to be with you. You’re the one he cares about the most,” Adam jokingly answered before Jeremy could speak, but the smile on his face gradually faded. “If only I had someone who cares about me like this. I imagine that it must feel great.”

Adam’s statement immediately reminded Madeline of Cathy.

However, this large house was empty. It did not seem that Cathy was around. Moreover, the children were nowhere to be seen as well.

“She’d moved out,” Adam said suddenly, as though he had read Madeline’s mind. He seemed extremely down. “Actually, I knew this day would come. Her memories won’t remain lost forever, and she won’t stay forever in the false relationship I’d created for her. She’s still in love with that man the whole time.”

That man, as well they could tell, was Felipe.

However, Adam was not being bleak. He instead smiled in acceptance. “Perhaps the most special thing about a relationship is loving someone yet unable to have them.”

Madeline and Jeremy understood what this meant.

The most precious thing about a relationship was mutual love.

“I’ll walk you back.” Adam walked Madeline and Jeremy to the door.

When he was about to turn around, Adam saw an unexpected yet familiar figure appearing in his sight.

Madeline was similarly astonished, but she was also pleasantly surprised.

“Cathy.” She greeted her with a smile.
