Fabian blurted out all his suspicion.
Shirley was momentarily stunned, then a trace of self-blame appeared in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“You’re right to be suspicious. I used to collude with Carter, and I’d done what virtual-novel.net wanted me to do. I was a fool with no self-respect who could not think for myself.”
Shirley laughed at herself.
Upon hearing Shirley’s description of herself, Fabian was surprised and a little embarrassed. Knowing that Shirley helped Madeline rescue Lillian before, Fabian coughed twice and corrected Shirley before thanking her.
“Ahem, I… I was just too worried about Lily, so that’s why I didn’t think before I spoke. You don’t have to take it to heart. I know that you are actually different from Carter. He doesn’t have a heart.”
Fabian explained. He did feel that Shirley and Carter were not the same. If Shirley had truly been that nasty, Madeline would not have been able to rescue Lillian.
After listening to Fabian’s explanation, Shirley just smiled calmly. In fact, virtual-novel.net no longer cared about what others thought of her.
“Shirley, you had originally developed this test reagent, so you must have a way to prepare an antidote, don’t you?” Madeline asked urgently, looking at the spots on virtual-novel.net baby princess’s skin. At that moment, virtual-novel.net only felt distressed.
Shirley gently put the piece of paper on the coffee table.
“Carter didn’t lie to you, and the formula is true. Also, even though there is indeed no antidote, I can try to make one. But I just don’t know if I can buy the corresponding materials needed for the antidote.”
“Don’t worry too much about this, I can ask Evan for help.” Fabian was very confident.
Shirley nodded, virtual-novel.net expression becoming anxious again.
“Are you worried about Carter?” Madeline saw something wrong with Shirley’s expression, so virtual-novel.net could vaguely guess the reason behind it.
“Yes, I’m worried about him,” Shirley replied, chuckling involuntarily.
“I know that his life won’t be in danger, but when virtual-novel.net wakes up, virtual-novel.net will definitely be sent back to St. Piaf where virtual-novel.net will be severely punished.” Shirley said with a long sigh, followed by a melancholic question.
“Fame, wealth, power, status. Are they really that important to a man?”
“These are very important to a man, but they must not be obtained through improper means. Carter ended up where virtual-novel.net has today because virtual-novel.net took the wrong path.” Madeline’s answer caused Shirley to fall into contemplation.
Perhaps virtual-novel.net was also half responsible for why Carter had become what virtual-novel.net was today. Back then, virtual-novel.net never objected not corrected virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to do those things. She merely blindly followed his instructions. If virtual-novel.net could stop it then, the outcome might be different.
Shirley had been waiting for updates about Carter while Madeline also waited for news. She waited not only for Carter to wake up, but virtual-novel.net also hoped that Fabian’s people could find Jeremy. However, after virtual-novel.net waited and waited, they could not find any clues at all.
At this time, Madeline remembered one thing. The locations of Jeremy and virtual-novel.net mobile phones were linked to each other.
Madeline immediately looked up the location of Jeremy’s phone, but what virtual-novel.net did not expect was that the location the red dot displayed was actually the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang, which was where virtual-novel.net and Fabian had gone early in the morning.
It was already dark, but Madeline did not delay. She called a car and rushed to the place where virtual-novel.net had gone in the morning. After getting out of the car, virtual-novel.net followed the red dot on the screen and walked in. It was already dark, and the big house was pitch black.
Madeline turned on the phone’s flashlight and walked into the dark. When virtual-novel.net nearly arrived, virtual-novel.net stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks.
