Chapter 1886

“ I’m sorry. I hope it’s not too late for me to atone for my sins.”

Upon hearing what Shirley said, Madeline and Jeremy felt a little touched in the depths of their hearts.

“Don’t speak. If Adam was aware of this, he wouldn’t want you to be like this as well Let’s go to the hospital.”

Madeline urged but Shirley softly shook her head, her eyes starting to close from exhaustion.

“ I miss my parents and my brother. I also want to apologize to that girl who had been taking care of me for so long …”

Shirley closed her eyes. Warm tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Carter’s eyes reddened as he sobbed.

“Shirley, you only remember your parents, your brother, and Cathy with whom you have no blood relation. But what about me? Did you ever think about our child?”

“Heh.”

Shirley closed her eyes and chuckled.

“We don’t have a child. This child has been destined to die in my womb since the beginning.”

Once again, Shirley’s words simultaneously stabbed Carter’s heart like a sharp knife and also shocked everyone in the room.

Camille, too, was extremely agitated and anxious.

“Carter, ignore whatever she says. Get her to the hospital now! Get to the hospital and you might still have a chance to save the child!”

Shirley laughed when she heard that. She murmured to herself, “It’s no use even if you save the child, he’s destined to not come to this world…”

Even though Shirley was speaking very softly, Carter could still hear her.

Her words made his mind buzz.

On the way to the hospital, Carter nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel.

He could not accept that Shirley had done this on purpose. She had deliberately fallen from the stairs.

She deliberately wanted to die in front of him.

How could she be so ruthless?

How could she also not care about the child? How hopeless was she to be able to do this?

Carter paced back and forth as he waited outside the operating theatre. He felt as if his heart had been burnt, tortured to the point of breaking.

He regretted. He should have taken care of Ada when he knew that she was the one who disfigured Shirley instead of keeping Ada around, giving her more chance to hurt Shirley and the people around Shirley.

Adam and Cathy’s deaths might have been the last straw for Shirley.

She wanted to die because of her guilt over Adam and Cathy’s deaths. It was also because there was no longer anyone she would live for in this world.

Not even him and the child in her womb.

Madeline and Jeremy got to the hospital after some consideration.

Throughout their journey, they were still astonished by Shirley’s attempt in ending her life.

They also believed that Shirley had been sincere when she apologized earlier.

Perhaps she had already come to her senses long ago, but she just had not been showing it.

When Carter saw Madeline and Jeremy, he felt anger suddenly rising in his chest.

He walked toward Jeremy. When he was about to speak, the light of the emergency room turned off and the doctor walked out.

Carter felt dizzy when he saw the strikingly salient bloodstains on the doctor’s gloves.

He turned around and strode over, then frantically asked, “Doctor, how’s the patient? She’s fine, isn’t she? The baby in her womb is also fine, right?”
