“I don’t know if virtual-novel.net leg will recover, but I’m sure you have a way to heal virtual-novel.net face, right?”
When Cathy asked this, virtual-novel.net eyes were twinkling.
She believed that Adam had this ability.
After virtual-novel.net asked that, both of them fell into a brief moment of silence.
Adam looked as if virtual-novel.net was thinking about something. After a while, virtual-novel.net lifted his head and looked at Cathy with a small smile on his handsome, flawless face.
“Thank you, Cathy.”
“If you thank me, you’re treating me as an outsider. Adam, you’re like my family member, so you don’t have to be courteous to me.”
Family member.
When those two words reached Adam’s ears, virtual-novel.net felt happy yet disappointed at the same time.
However, virtual-novel.net was feeling more delighted than anything.
After all, a family member went beyond a friend; it was a special presence.
Shirley was transferred to a private hospital ward.
After being unconscious for a day, virtual-novel.net woke up in the middle of the night.
Despite feeling very weak when virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net still used all virtual-novel.net might to touch virtual-novel.net face.
The thick layer of bandages on virtual-novel.net cheek proved that what had happened before was not a dream but reality. Her face had really been disfigured.
Shirley felt virtual-novel.net heart turning cold, and when virtual-novel.net was about to move, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized that virtual-novel.net legs were not responding to her. She wanted to move but could not. She had even lost all feelings in virtual-novel.net legs.
‘How is this possible?’
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Shirley’s forehead. She tried to move again but virtual-novel.net still could not move virtual-novel.net legs.
In that instant, it was like a bolt from the blue and it struck virtual-novel.net straight in the heart, splitting it into two.
She felt as if all of the blood in virtual-novel.net body had been drained and virtual-novel.net entire body was cold.
In addition to that, it felt as if the night sky outside the window had shrouded her. She felt that everything in front of virtual-novel.net was black and icy.
While virtual-novel.net was feeling distracted, Shirley saw a figure from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes. Then, virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net head to see Adam sitting on the chair at the side of the bed with his eyes closed. He looked exhausted because his brows were still furrowed even when virtual-novel.net had fallen asleep.
When Shirley thought about virtual-novel.net current situation, virtual-novel.net felt that this was oddly laughable.
At this moment, Shirley felt as if virtual-novel.net heart had lost its normal rhythm. Soon after, virtual-novel.net breathing started to become rapid.
She reflexively lifted virtual-novel.net hand to press it against virtual-novel.net heart, but virtual-novel.net still could not soothe this uncontrollable feeling.
She knew very well that this was one of the symptoms when the poison flared up.
She did not forget how Jeremy had personally injected the poison into virtual-novel.net veins that day.
Heh.
She chuckled coldly with self-mockery. This was karma.
This was karma, indeed.
Shirley gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and gripped the blanket tightly. She looked at Adam who was sleeping soundly and slowly moved virtual-novel.net upper body.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net only wanted to leave. She would get out of here even if virtual-novel.net crawled.
However, virtual-novel.net lack of energy and the injuries virtual-novel.net sustained after the accident would not allow virtual-novel.net to do so. Plus, due to the poison in virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net would have difficulties breathing. How could virtual-novel.net crawl out of here?
However, Madeline was still determined. She endured the debilitating pain to try to move again, but virtual-novel.net body tilted to one side and virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net balance before falling straight to the hard floor.
However, at this moment, a pair of warm hands held her.
