Chapter 1994
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
He fed Shirley another bite and leisurely continued speaking.
âWhen the hallucinogen started to affect Jeremyâs consciousness, I had someone take him to the room in which the maid was already waiting. Just like Jeremy, she was also exposed to the hallucinogen without her realizing.â
After hearing this, everything became clear to Shirley.
âYou confused them both, making them think that they had intimate contact with each other.â
Shirley concluded with certainty, and her eyes were looking at Carter with more disappointment.
âCarter, youâre irredeemable.â
Carter paused as he was scooping the food. âIâm irredeemable?â
He chuckled lightly. âYouâre the one whoâs crazy.â
âIâm crazy?â
âIf you werenât crazy, why would you help Jeremy? I f you werenât crazy, why would you help Eveline?
Have you really forgotten how our child died?â
Carterâs expression suddenly darkened.
âDonât tell me that since youâre the one who developed the test reagent, you only have yourself to blame. It was Jeremyâs fault! He injected the APX69 anti-toxoid test reagent into your body. Thatâs why our child couldnât be born. You directly caused this tragedy! â
Carter immediately became emotional at the mention of the child.
His gaze was suddenly covered in darkness as if the violent winds of a raging storm were upon them.
Shirley calmly looked at the angry Carter, and then her eyes gradually turned cool and distant.
âHeh, hehe.â Shirley laughed. âYou still couldnât understand how the child died.â
When Shirley said this, emotions flashed abruptly in Carterâs eyes. âWhat are you trying to say?â
Shirley stared at Carter coldly from the corner of her eyes. âListen, Carter. I chose to fall from the stairs because I hate you and I donât want to have anything to do with you anymore.â
Shirleyâs eyes gradually turned wet and red as she spoke, and then warm tears fell from her eyes.
âCarter, do you think that I couldnât have saved this child with my ability? Of course, I could have, but I didnât want to. Because the child was yours, I donât want it. Do you understand?â
Upon hearing Shirleyâs answer, Carterâs eyes flickered sharply.
He stared dazedly at Shirley who had said this, and upon seeing the tears in her eyes, his vision gradually became blurred.
â I wonât believe it.â After a long while, Carter said this in a trembling voice.
He denied but his eyes were firm.
âShirley, I trust that you genuinely despise me and donât want to see me again, but I will not believe that you could give up on your flesh and blood unless you already know that the child wonât come into this world. Donât think Iâll forgive Jeremy because of this. He ruined my family, so Iâll ruin his family in turn.â
Bang!
After he said that, Carter slammed the cutlery on the nightstand and turned to leave in rancor.
Shirley wanted to stop him, but after moving her lips, she did not know what to say.
In truth, Carter understood her very well, but what use did it have?
Judging from this current situation, they were destined to walk toward tragedy, and there would be no way to turn back anymore.
After going downstairs, Carter, filled with rage, grabbed the phone to call Fabian.
He knew Fabian had blocked his number, so Carter changed his number.
Soon after, Fabian answered the call.
