Chapter 1802

Evan looked at Jeremy’s back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. “Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?”

Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy’s outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. “Recover? If it’s anything like that from last time, I don’t think it’d be that easy to completely recover.”

“Anything like that from last time?” This piqued Evan’s curiosity again.

However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.

Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.

When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy’s hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline’s marriage certificate. The customer service lady then proceeded with the rental.

After carrying Madeline to the room, Jeremy kept staying by her side.

He still felt perturbed, unsure whether Madeline would recover once she woke up.

On a couple of previous occasions, Madeline had never passed out after the injection, but this time, she was out cold.

“Linnie, I hope you’ll no longer hate me once you wake up.”

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and gently kissed it. He looked at Madeline, his eyes heavy with unease and insecurity.

He was truly terrified of Madeline’s coldly gazing at him. Her gaze made Jeremy feel as if his presence were unimportant. Her gaze was as painful as a knife piercing his heart.

Jeremy had not expected the poison to be this terrifying.

It not only tormented one’s body but their emotions and soul as well.

In Glendale.

Shirley sat in a wheelchair facing the dressing table.

In the mirror, she could see the left side of her face that was perfectly unharmed. After putting on make-

up, concealing the stunning image she used to have, all that remained was a sense of elegance.

Shirley smirked when she looked at her current self. She had never thought that she would have this day.

When she looked at the other half of her face, she had never expected that one day, she would meet with disfigurement.

“Let me help you wear the mask.” Cathy handed a mask to Shirley.

Shirley looked at the mask and her eyes lifted as she smiled mockingly.

” In the past, my face was just like a secret weapon that could help me benefit, but now, anyone would be disgusted at it. They’ll see me as an ugly woman. “

As Shirley spoke in a self-deprecating tone, she looked at Cathy.

“You too, right? You must think it a hassle to look after me every day? If it’s not for Adam, you wouldn’t even be staying here.”

Upon listening to Shirley’s self-condemning words, Cathy said calmly, “Have you forgotten that I was once disfigured in the past? I was also slashed in the face with a knife by someone. Besides, it wasn’t just once, but twice, thrice, and even more…

“That time, I too felt hopeless, but I slowly understood. There’s nothing more precious than being alive.

“Do you know what it means to be alive?” Cathy asked Shirley, then answered, “it’s not just life, it’s also an opportunity. As long as we live on, there will be hope, but I hope that you could reflect on yourself and stop making those harmful anti- toxoid test reagents.”

Shirley silently listened to Cathy, then glanced at Cathy in dissatisfaction. “Are you lecturing me?”

“I don’ t have the time to lecture you. I just don’t understand why you’re always hostile to others.

You’re right, if it’s not for Adam, I truly wouldn’t even bother about you.”

Cathy cleaned up the dressing table and turned around after speaking.

Shirley, noticing Cathy leaving, immediately got anxious. “Don’t go. Jordan, please, don’t go!”

She quickly pushed her wheelchair, intending to pull onto Cathy, but Shirley failed to do so and, because she exerted too much force, fell to the ground.
