Jeremy’s promise suddenly imbued Felipe’s life in prison with meaning.
If there was truly anything or anyone that Felipe could not bear to part with, it would be Cathy.
If virtual-novel.net could be granted any other unlikely wishes, it would be that virtual-novel.net could see the two children again.
The children.
The thought of them kindled an extremely warm feeling within Felipe.
When virtual-novel.net was the love of Cathy’s life, not only had virtual-novel.net ignored her, but virtual-novel.net had also killed those two children with his own hands.
He knew virtual-novel.net would never be able to make it up to Cathy any more, but virtual-novel.net certainly had not expected that virtual-novel.net would be pregnant with his baby when the accident occurred.
This was God’s gift. Yes, this was God’s gift to him.
Now, virtual-novel.net hoped that Jeremy could arrange for this day to come as soon as possible.
After they had left, Madeline went to stay with Adam. A few days passed, and the poison in virtual-novel.net body did not flare up. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net did not forget how excruciatingly painful it had been when the poison had flared up.
As virtual-novel.net sat in front of the window sill, basking in the rare, warm winter sun, virtual-novel.net attention was focused on the small tube of anti-toxoid test reagent lying in virtual-novel.net palm.
When virtual-novel.net reflected on the relationship between Carter and Shirley, Madeline finally figured out exactly when virtual-novel.net had been poisoned.
It was that night when Carter had so willingly agreed to cancel the marriage agreement. There must have been something amiss with the glass of red wine virtual-novel.net had poured for her.
Since Carter would certainly have known about virtual-novel.net keen sense of smell, the poison must have been colorless and tasteless. This would explain why virtual-novel.net had not detected anything when virtual-novel.net drank it.
They truly had planned this out far in advance, and had set their plot in motion ages ago.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net fists. From the corner of virtual-novel.net eye, virtual-novel.net saw a figure approaching.
“She truly did take good care of me when I was young. She was a good sister.” Adam’s very gentle voice drifted to virtual-novel.net ears.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net eyes and saw Adam approaching her, a smile on his face.
“You mean your sister Shirley?” She asked.
“Yes.” Adam nodded. From the smile on his face, one could tell that virtual-novel.net was thinking of something pleasant. “When I was young and heedless, I did a lot of ignorant and rebellious things. Every time something went wrong, virtual-novel.net would always stand up for me.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, his eyes filled with the scenes from his memories.
“I still remember the time in fifth grade when I had skipped class to catch frogs at a pond with a few of my classmates and virtual-novel.net happened to spot us. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to take me back to school, my parents, who were on their way home from work, caught sight of us.
“To save me from getting scolded, virtual-novel.net said that virtual-novel.net was the one who encouraged me to skip class. Even after my parents had punished virtual-novel.net by making virtual-novel.net copy out a 70,000-word medical book, virtual-novel.net still came and comforted me, telling me that everything was fine.”
As Adam spoke, his eyes started welling up with tears.
“She was a good sister in the past, don’t you think?” Adam asked Madeline. Since the present-day Shirley had given virtual-novel.net a different impression, virtual-novel.net wanted to hear other people’s affirmations of Shirley.
Madeline slowly stood up. “Perhaps virtual-novel.net used to be a good sister. However, ever since virtual-novel.net ran away from home and left this family, I don’t think she’s the sister you knew anymore.”
“I’m sorry,” Adam said remorsefully. “I finally understand what kind of person could develop this sort of poison. If it was Shirley, it’s no surprise at all. She’s always been very accomplished in this aspect since virtual-novel.net was young.”
