Shirley effortfully retracted virtual-novel.net hand. “I don’t need your concern.”
“I certainly don’t want to be concerned about you. Even if you were to suffer and die by this poison, a pernicious person like you would deserve it.”
“…”
“Adam.”
“However, I have not forgotten. I’m a doctor, and it is a doctor’s duty to save others. Just like with mom and dad, I won’t let anyone die by my watch, not even if they’re my enemies.”
“…”
Shirley’s movement immediately became sluggish when virtual-novel.net heard these words.
It was as if the pain had stopped at this moment as well.
“Heh. Hehe…”
After a long while, virtual-novel.net chuckled, coldly and bitterly.
When virtual-novel.net returned to virtual-novel.net senses, Adam was no longer in the room; only Cathy remained, standing at one side.
“Adam will be back soon.”
Shirley said nothing in response, no longer having the energy to speak.
Although virtual-novel.net had developed the poison, virtual-novel.net had never known that one of the components could cause such intense pain once inside the human body.
It was so cruel.
“Ah…”
Shirley could not help but wail out in pain.
She could not imagine how Madeline had gone through this. She felt that virtual-novel.net could not endure this any further.
However, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net would not die. The first three stages of this poison only consisted of physical torment. Once it had reached the final stage, the torment would be mental.
She would once again experience the memories virtual-novel.net did not want to relive. Those lonely, cold, and dark days when virtual-novel.net had been depressed…
“Hiss…”
The fourth stage has yet to arrive, but Shirley’s heart had already begun to have a splitting pain.
She tried to suppress virtual-novel.net emotions, but virtual-novel.net still could not control virtual-novel.net tears.
Cathy, seeing Shirley’s pained look, went up to comfort her. “Hold on a little longer. Adam will definitely have a solution for this.”
“A solution…”
Shirley let out a light chuckle through virtual-novel.net red, teary eyes.
“I developed this poison and I don’t even have the antidote. Who would have it? Get lost! I don’t need your sympathy.”
Shirley forcefully pushed Cathy’s hand away.
Cathy, caught off guard, nearly fell, but someone supported virtual-novel.net from behind.
“Evie.”
Upon hearing Cathy calling out to Madeline, Shirley spent all virtual-novel.net might to lift virtual-novel.net red, teary eyes and looked over.
Shirley remembered the moment when that mysterious woman had sat on Shirley and disfigured her. She also remembered what that woman had said to her.
“Shirley, don’t blame me for this. I’m merely doing this on someone else’s behalf. Think about who you have offended lately.”
As the phrase kept on repeating in Shirley’s ears, virtual-novel.net tightened virtual-novel.net grip on virtual-novel.net clothes.
Upon seeing Shirley’s current state, Madeline calmly walked over to the bedside. Before Madeline could speak, Shirley suddenly pulled out the IV, which had been attached to the back of Shirley’s hand, and grabbed Madeline’s wrist, intending to stab the IV needle into Madeline’s neck.
