Chapter 1855

Jeremy questioned her immediately, but then he saw Shirley’s pale face and arched body, which seemed as if she was about to curl her body up.

Everything Shirley had done back then made it difficult for Jeremy to empathize with her or pity her, but the thought of Shirley knowing what had happened to Adam and Cathy, Jeremy went up to her and asked.

“Shirley, do you feel unwell?” Jeremy asked coldly.

Shirley lifted her drenched face against the falling rainwater and shook her head weakly. “I’m not unwell.”

“What about Adam and Cathy? Where are they? ” Jeremy asked again.

Shirley grabbed her hands hidden in her sleeves; her eyes were blurred by both tears and rainwater.

“Addy, Cathy…”

Addy?

Jeremy was astonished to hear Shirley addressing Adam as Addy.

From what he could remember, there were profound grievances between Shirley and Adam, and Shirley had been brimming with hatred for Adam.

Now that she was addressing Adam this way, their relationship seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

When Jeremy spotted the tears welling up in Shirley’s eyes, he felt that something was not right.

“Did something happen to Adam and Cathy? Shirley, tell me.”

Jeremy was starting to feel annoyed as well. Deep down, he was very concerned about Adam and Cathy too.

They were not only his friends; they were close friends, and they had saved his family before.

In the face of Jeremy’s questioning, Shirley’s vision was getting blurrier and blurrier; she started to fall in and out of consciousness.

She wanted to answer Jeremy. She wanted to speak. However, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat.

Jeremy, noticing that something was off with Shirley, lifted his hand to grab Shirley’s shoulders when suddenly, a glaring high beam shone brightly from a side, and the light was accompanied by honking.

Jeremy intuitively turned his face away to avoid the lights.

Barely a moment later, he heard the car stop, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps gradually approaching him.

“Jeremy? When did you come back? What are you trying to do? ” Carter started pelting Jeremy with questions.

Jeremy turned his face calmly and looked at the solemn-looking Carter who also looked worried.

“You’re really well-informed about my whereabouts. You even knew that I haven’t been in Glendale all this while.”

Carter momentarily paused when he heard that. He met Jeremy’s eyes, then strode up to Shirley and opened an umbrella to shield Shirley from the rain and wind.

Carter’s face fell immediately when he saw Shirley’s off-colored face.

He immediately stood up to face Jeremy and angrily questioned, “What did you do to her?”

Jeremy was amused when he heard that. “You’re asking the wrong person. You should ask yourselves what they did to me and my wife?”

“You…”

“Why, Carter, are you also capable of caring for others? Would you also feel heartbroken when someone you care about is in pain?”

When Shirley heard Jeremy’s words, tears welled up in her eyes once again.

‘Care?

‘Did he care?’

Shirley’s eyes reddened, yet she could not help but burst out laughing.

Carter was still lost in thought after he heard what Jeremy said, but now, he suddenly heard Shirley laughing for no apparent reason.

Shocked, Carter looked at Shirley, who seemed to be laughing and crying simultaneously, and his entire heart inexplicably turned abnormally frigid.

Jeremy also felt that Shirley was behaving oddly, but he did not care.

However, Carter was worried.
