She was clearly the hostess of this family, but virtual-novel.net seemed to be nothing more than just that title.
The second floor.
Shirley entered Carter‘s study room with a sense of familiarity.
Although it was daytime, Carter had drawn the curtains. He also closed the door behind Shirley after virtual-novel.net entered.
He turned around and looked at Shirley who was seated in a wheelchair. He closed his eyes, hoping this was merely a figment of his imagination. Unfortunately, when virtual-novel.net reopened them, Shirley remained in the wheelchair.
Suddenly, it occurred to virtual-novel.net that Shirley had always been seated when they met the last few times.
Evidently, it was due to the loss of ability in virtual-novel.net legs. Unable to comprehend the situation, Carter was upset, and the rage within virtual-novel.net continued to grow.
“What exactly is going on? Your legs… how did it happen?”
Carter spoke from behind Shirley, the anger in his voice was suppressed.
“You seem concerned about my legs, Mr. Gray. There’s nothing much to say, except that l may have committed too many bad deeds. This is retribution.”
“…”
Carter refused to accept such a reply. He strode up to virtual-novel.net and grasped the back of virtual-novel.net neck just like before, then placed his face directly in front of virtual-novel.net sight.
“Tell me the truth, Shirley. What exactly happened to your legs?”
Carter repeated his question. He appeared to be in a foul mood.
Shirley restrained virtual-novel.net trembling heart, and in virtual-novel.net usual tone, virtual-novel.net responded, “As I’ve said, I was hit by a car, and that’s the truth. Don‘t you think that’s retribution?”
“Don’t lie to me! Did Jeremy do this to you?” Carter questioned virtual-novel.net angrily. “When you left without returning that time, it was Jeremy who took you!”
“You’re right. He was the one who took me that day, but virtual-novel.net didn’t hit me with a car,” Shirley answered honestly, “he only injected me with the anti-toxoid test reagent. It was the same type as the one you’d placed in Madeline’s wine.”
After hearing what Shirley said, Carter’s expression became even more solemn; his eyebrows looked like they were tied together.
Shirley continued in virtual-novel.net calm tone, “That‘s why I’m here today. To make a deal.”
Carter resentfully glared at Shirley. “What deal?”
“You’re wrong, Carter. This is your baby. Do you think I’ll care about such an insignificant little thing? To me, he’s just a bargaining chip to acquire the anti-toxoid test reagent.”
