As soon as virtual-novel.net heard that, Carter turned around hastily and strode toward Shirley’s room. However, as Carter approached the room, his heartbeat became increasingly rapid with apprehension by the second.
The production of AXP6 9 had originally been intended for Madeline. It contained a terrifying ingredient that would take effect and mutate upon entering the human body. In the end, it would shatter the person’s soul by inducing hallucinations, forcing the person to relive their most painful and humiliating memories.
Carter‘s footsteps grew heavier as these thoughts played on his mind. He felt nervous, along with an unprecedented sense of panic. He feared that, in a moment, virtual-novel.net would see such a version of Shirley too. An undignified Shirley who was trapped in virtual-novel.net painful memories. Carter’s thoughts ceased abruptly when virtual-novel.net arrived at the door of Shirley’s bedroom. He felt a wave of inexplicable weight upon virtual-novel.net and, for a moment, virtual-novel.net felt weak.
Amid Carter‘s hesitation, Shirley‘s voice drifted from the room. She sounded confused and in pain.
“What happened to my legs? Why don’t they have any strength? Why?”
Upon hearing these words, Carter furrowed his brows. Something did not feel right. He walked straight into the room without any further hesitation. As Carter entered, however, all eyes turned to virtual-novel.net suddenly.
Camille’s eyebrows were knitted deeply as virtual-novel.net gazed at Carter with a mournful expression on virtual-novel.net face. “She doesn’t seem to be herself. It’s like she’s forgotten everything that‘s happened lately.”
Carter’s heart froze when virtual-novel.net heard that. Indeed, virtual-novel.net had forgotten. Indeed, the final stage of the poison was tormenting in that manner.
Carter’s brows snapped together into a deep frown. Carter, intending to talk with this version of Shirley in private, was about to tell everyone to leave the room.
However, Shirley‘s eyes met his gaze, and suddenly, virtual-novel.net expression changed. She looked so helpless and weak, and so forlorn.
“Carter, my legs… My legs seem to be disabled.”
Carter had not expected Shirley to address himself in that tone at this particular time. Bewildered, virtual-novel.net looked at Shirley whose eyes were welling with tears. After several seconds of silence, Carter tentatively asked, “Shirley? ”
Shirley, who did not seem to reject or feel estranged by the way Carter had addressed her, nodded and looked at Carter expectantly.
“Carter, what happened to my legs? Why can’t I move at all?”
A sense of realization crept into Carter’s heart. He glanced over at Camille, who had an equally bewildered expression on virtual-novel.net face, and gave virtual-novel.net a knowing look.
Camille understood, then immediately instructed the servants to leave the room. When virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net saw Ada, who was grudgingly standing at the side, gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, and Camille went straight to Ada and dragged virtual-novel.net away.
As the door closed, Carter and Shirley were left alone in the room.
Shirley looked like a frightened fawn at this moment, the charming and tough personality virtual-novel.net had in the past was gone.
She looked at Carter, virtual-novel.net almond shaped eyes filled with tears.
“Carter, my legs…”
Carter hurried over to the bedside. Wrapping his arms around Shirley’s shoulders, virtual-novel.net tenderly reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Your legs will recover soon. I promise…”
“But what happened to my legs? Why are they like this all of a sudden? I can’t remember anything, Carter…”
Carter had never dreamed that there would be a day when Shirley would call out his name like this. His heart wavered slightly as his arms tightened around Shirley.
