“…”
The moment Shirley heard the truth, tears streamed down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Inch by inch, virtual-novel.net loosened virtual-novel.net grip on Adam’s hand as the scorching temperature of virtual-novel.net tears stung the back of virtual-novel.net hands.
“You’d better be mentally prepared for an operation as soon as possible, the earlier the better. Otherwise, it’ll be your own body that’s harmed.”
Adam simply finished speaking and glanced at Cathy. “Cathy, please take care of her.”
“Don ‘t worry, Adam. I’ll look after her,” Cathy replied as virtual-novel.net looked at Shirley.
Shirley appeared to be completely dumbstruck.
As a mother of two, Cathy could fully understand Shirley’s feelings at that moment
She knew that there was nothing virtual-novel.net could say to comfort Shirley, so virtual-novel.net remained silent by virtual-novel.net side. After a long while, Shirley abruptly broke the silence. “Were you the one who saved me last night, when I fainted from the pain?”
Cathy nodded. “I had thought that you would’ve calmed down somewhat, so I planned to bring you back, then by chance, I found you lying on the floor.”
“Thank you. ”
“…”
Cathy could not believe virtual-novel.net ears when virtual-novel.net heard Shirley thanked her.
“I‘d like to be alone for a while.”
“I’ll be right here. I won’t bother you.”
“You’re not bothering me. I’m the one causing you trouble.”
“…”
Cathy became skeptical again. Shirley’s behavior and tone seemed like that of a completely different person.
“It feels good to be a mother, doesn’t it?” Shirley gazed at Cathy with reddened eyes. “You have two children, and their father was also a man that you loved but could never be with.”
“…”
“Hah.” Shirley, leaning back, laughed as virtual-novel.net cried, tears rolling down the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Quietly, virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes and stopped speaking.
In the next two days, Shirley remained silent.
She did not utter a word, nor did virtual-novel.net leave virtual-novel.net room. At most, virtual-novel.net would bask in the sunlight on the balcony. Throughout this period, Cathy delivered Shirley virtual-novel.net meals. Even when Cathy, hoping Shirley would reveal the anti-toxoid test reagent formula, had told Shirley that Madeline was exhibiting strange symptoms, Shirley continued to stay silent.
Cathy had initially thought that Shirley had figured herself out. Unfortunately, Shirley was still acting the same way, and Cathy could do nothing about it.
She had learned from Adam that Madeline was currently in F Country and that despite taking the anti-toxoid test reagent from Carter, Madeline had not yet awoken.
A few days had passed as Adam remained in the laboratory, repeatedly studying and analyzing the samples Jeremy had previously given him, but the results were never satisfactory.
He had given up on Shirley providing any useful information because virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net beyond saving,
and virtual-novel.net would not come around no matter how severely virtual-novel.net scolded her.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net still diligently tested his theories for now, though his mental stability was approaching its limits.
The consequences could be unthinkable if Madeline does not wake up. As the culprit’s younger brother and a doctor, Adam could hardly be free from blame.
It was at this moment when the laboratory’s door was pushed open.
Adam stared in surprise as Shirley, steering virtual-novel.net wheelchair by herself, slowly approached him.
“Here’s the anti-toxoid test reagent formula you wanted.”
