Shirley was stumped by what Camille said.
She could feel that Camille was not blaming virtual-novel.net and that virtual-novel.net was feeling sad for that child who had no chance to come to the world. However, that child was destined to not have a chance to be born.
Shirley’s eyes turned red. She smiled bitterly, then closed virtual-novel.net eyes and allowed virtual-novel.net tears to fall.
She had so many grievances in virtual-novel.net heart that virtual-novel.net could not speak of, yet virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net brought this upon herself. Those were not grievances. Those were the consequences of virtual-novel.net actions.
She was not worthy to be a mother.
When Camille saw Shirley in such pain, virtual-novel.net did not continue virtual-novel.net questioning.
After all, they had known each other for so many years, and virtual-novel.net had always treated Shirley as virtual-novel.net child. If Shirley had not let virtual-novel.net down and left without a word back then, Camille would not have stayed mad for so long.
“Go wash your face. Get up and eat something. I made this porridge myself. Try it and tell me if it tastes like how it tasted back then.”
Camille was still speaking softly, treating Shirley with warmth.
Shirley sobbed and opened virtual-novel.net eyes. When virtual-novel.net felt Camille’s kindness, virtual-novel.net could not bear to refuse virtual-novel.net anymore.
Camille, feeling very relieved when virtual-novel.net saw that Shirley coming to virtual-novel.net senses, was about to ask the maids to come in to help.
However, just as Camille stood up, the door was pushed open.
Carter came through the entrance with a cold and spiteful aura. When virtual-novel.net saw Camille in the room, virtual-novel.net was surprised, and the coldness on his face subsided slightly.
“Carter, where have you been? How can you leave the moment you brought Shirley back?” Camille asked.
Upon hearing how Camille addressed Shirley, Carter simultaneously felt surprised and stunned.
“I needed to take care of something,” Carter said immediately after returning to his senses and muddled through virtual-novel.net questions. He then continued, “I need to talk to her.”
Camille understood, nodding. “Let virtual-novel.net eat something first. You can talk after.”
“I got it.”
Carter smiled and agreed.
Camille did not stay for long. Soon after, virtual-novel.net left. When the door was closed, the smile on Carter’s face disappeared.
He walked to the side of the bed and saw Shirley looking at virtual-novel.net coldly. He frowned and the smoldering rage in his heart was ignited once again.
“Do you know where I went?” Carter asked. “I went to Whitman Manor to look for Jeremy and Eveline.”
When Shirley heard this, virtual-novel.net expression changed. However, virtual-novel.net merely stared at Carter without saying a word.
“Shirley, do you think Jeremy and Eveline will thank you once you gave them the only anti-toxoid test reagent? They won’t. Yet, you ignored your own child because you wanted their forgiveness. You’re the most stupid person I’ve ever met!”
After Carter’s voice fell away, Shirley suddenly burst out laughing.
“I didn’t do that to seek anyone’s forgiveness. I just want to make up for all the bad things I’ve done before I die.”
“We haven’t done anything wrong! We don’t need to take responsibility for anyone!”
Carter was still stubborn.
“We’ve just been doing what we want and what we should.”
“Should?” Shirley asked with a smirk. “Hurting the innocent just for the right to rule in St. Piaf? I finally know that the most stupid things I’ve ever done were the things I’ve done.”
“Shirley, you…”
