Chapter 1739

After hearing this, Adam felt his heart turn ice-cold. It was as though it had been submerged in bone-

chilling ice water, causing his entire body to freeze.

When Madeline heard this while standing at the side, she found the situation to be strange. She did not dare to believe that Shirley would die just like this. “Doctor, how’s the patient doing now?”

When the doctor saw that Madeline was with Adam, he explained in detail, “Judging from the current situation, she may end up losing her mobility and will have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

The wound on her face is also abnormally deep, so it can be said that she’ll be disfigured.”

Disability and disfigurement.

Madeline immediately recalled her own situation from back then.

She had been blind and also disfigured. It could be said that she had gone through the exact same thing as what Shirley was going through now.

“This is the patient’s current state. Perhaps she might improve after a recovery period, but it might take a very long time or even a lifetime.”

After Adam heard this, he nodded gently to show that he understood. “Thank you, Dr. Lewis.”

He turned around slowly, the back of his figure looking abnormally bleak.

“Evie, Jeremy, I’ll go stay with Adam.” After Cathy informed Madeline and Jeremy, she quickly followed Adam.

Madeline lifted her eyes to look into Jeremy’s eyes. There was a complicated look in both of their eyes.

Madeline did not know whether this encounter and ending were Shirley’s karma. If it was, then what about the things she had experienced before?

Cathy and Adam came to the garden below the hospital.

It was still snowing and a thick layer of snow had already piled up on the ground.

Adam stood amid the snow and the wind like a statue. He showed no emotions and was not speaking.

Cathy tried to get close to him. “Adam.”

She called out. She initially thought Adam would not pay attention to her, but he still turned his head.

“Cathy, it’s cold out here. You should go in first. Let me stay here for a while.”

“Adam, you were with me during the most torturous and coldest time of my life, so I’ll return the favor.

I’ll be with you no matter what the circumstances are.”

Upon hearing this, Adam’s expression changed slightly.

He wanted to tell Shirley to leave again, but he felt that Cathy might not listen to him.

He smiled softly and walked forward slowly. The fluttering snow flew past his shoulders and landed on his hair.

“I really miss my childhood,” Adam lamented.

Cathy was touched by this sentence as well because she also missed her childhood.

She missed the year, the month, and the day when she first met Felipe at the beach.

Back then, their encounter had been so pure, but ultimately, he still could not escape what life had planned for him.

He was dead now.

They would never meet in this life again.

“She used to be a good sister and was amazing.” Adam reminisced sincerely. “She thought Mom and Dad only loved me and they neglected her because they wanted to care for me. However, she didn’t know that only one of us could study abroad in St. Piaf and our parents gave the chance to her. She thought they did this to abandon her.”

Adam furrowed his thick eyebrows in distress.

“I had given her the notebook. She wouldn’t have wasted time on insoluble problems if she had just read it. Why is she still so stubborn in going about things the wrong way?

“Back then, she said she wanted to be a great medical scientist like Mom and Dad, but now, she has become a witch who only knows how to harm people and use poison on them…

“How did things become like this?”

Adam lowered his eyelids in pain while sighing with melancholy.

Cathy placed her hand gently on Adam’s shoulder. “Sometimes, a misunderstanding or complication can cause someone to obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way. They will only come to the realization after you solve the matter that gnaws at their mind.

“Adam, your sister will be very devastated after she wakes up and sees the condition she’s in. When that happens, you have to stay with her and care for her. I’m sure she’ll feel your sincerity.”
