Chapter 1896

With great effort, Shirley lifted her hand and grabbed the nail clipper on the nightstand.

‘Addy, mom, dad, Cathy, and my unborn child, I’m coming to repent my sins. Please wait for me…’

Shirley thought in her heart and placed the nail clipper on her wrist. She closed her eyes and made up her mind to die.

However, when she was about to move the nail clipper across her wrist, the door of the room was pushed open.

Shirley opened her eyes, and through her dazed and tearful eyes, she saw Carter’s gloomy and icy face.

When she looked at the approaching Carter, Shirley tightened her grip around the nail; her eyes shone with annoyance and repulsion.

“Carter, why do you keep haunting me?” A look of disgust appeared on Shirley’s face.

The more she had loved Carter back then, the more she hated him now.

Carter, with a cold expression, walked toward the side of the bed.

Carter towered over her and like a monarch overlooking his land, he peered at Shirley from above.

“Shirley, I have a whole new level of respect for you now,” Carter said, his words heavy with implication.

He then lifted his hand and threw Shirley’s notebook next to Shirley.

Shirley did not understand what he meant, but she recognized her notebook.

“Do you remember what this is?” Carter parted his thin lips and asked.

His tone and gaze were frigid. He looked as if he was trying to suppress his exploding rage.

Of course, Shirley had not forgotten. This was the notebook she had used to jot down the data when she developed the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69.

However, Shirley’s gaze darkened immediately.

She recalled that she had written down something spontaneous after she finished developing the anti-

toxoid test reagent.

Carter caught sight of the changes in Shirley’s face, and the anger in his heart started to surge violently.

“Shirley, you’re really something else! ”

Carter said mockingly. A fiery fury flared in his eyes.

“Since the beginning, you knew the child in your stomach wouldn’t have survived. You deliberately used this child as a gambling chip to exchange for the ingredient for the development of the AXP69 anti-toxoid test reagent with me!

“Heh, you’re really something else. You conceded to gain the upper hand. You pretended to be so helpless when I imprisoned you at home, but in reality, you wanted to stay in Gray Villa to develop the anti-toxoid test reagent.

“You lied to me when you said you wanted to quickly develop the anti-toxoid test reagent so that the baby in your womb could be born safe and sound. But in reality, you sent the completed anti- toxoid test regent to Jeremy.”

When Carter said this, he suddenly reached out his hand and held Shirley by the chin.

“In those six months, you had always been with Jeremy. You actually developed feelings for him !

That’s why you’ve used this opportunity to create this anti-toxoid test reagent for him.”

As Carter spoke, he suddenly let out a low chuckle.

“You actually care for him. And you even care for everyone around him. You don’t care about your body and the baby, so you gave the only anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69 to Eveline.

“Shirley, you’re truly magnanimous! ”

Carter’s last statement was brimming with sarcasm.

When Shirley looked into Carter’s eyes, she felt a chill piercing her bones, gradually enveloping her.

“I was happy. I longed for our child to come to the world. But in reality, you never planned to keep this child. You were using me. You lied to me. And you even betrayed me in the end.”

Carter’s tone was getting colder and colder.

“Shirley, since you chose this path, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
