She touched his arm with eyes full of worry as the man’s body temperature had not increased at all.“His body temperature is low because he’s soaking in ice.” Shirley’s voice sounded from behind.Madeline turned her head and saw Shirley slowly walking over with a syringe in her hand.“Could you wait outside, Mrs. Whitman? I don’t really like having someone watching over my shoulder when I’m treating my patients.”Madeline understood and got up, only to have Jeremy hold her hand.“Don’t go, Linnie.”“Be good, Jeremy. Let Shirley give you that injection and you’ll be alright, okay?” Madeline hushed Jeremy as if he was a child before she let go of her hand.“Thank you, Shirley.”“You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure to help those in need.” Shirley gave a small smile.Madeline did not think too much of it and went out.She gave Jeremy one last glance before she closed the door. She saw that the man’s half-squinted peach blossom eyes were tinted red.He was looking at her delicately.

“Jeremy!”Madeline could not find it in her to continue waiting by the door at those comments. She opened the glass door and ran into the bathroom.What met her was the sight of Jeremy oozing with anger and iciness while Shirley had fallen next to the bathtub.Madeline had no idea what happened. Her priority was knowing how Jeremy was doing, but out of politeness, she moved to help Shirley up first.She had just reached out when she felt Jeremy grabbing her arm tightly. The man was strong and Madeline felt a twinge of pain at his firm grip.“Don’t touch her.”Jeremy spat out the four words out coldly, his tone exceptionally chilling.“Jeremy?” Madeline looked at the man’s sharp gaze. “Are you okay, Jeremy? What happened? Is Shirley—”“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I’m alright.” Shirley grabbed the side of the tub as she slowly sat up. She glanced at Jeremy’s cold gaze from the corner of her eyes before she turned to smile at Madeline.“Jeremy doesn’t want you to touch me because

Adam was stunned for a moment. “What? What are you saying? Who are you? Where’s Eveline?”“Don’t you recognize me anymore? You’re just like your parents, Adam. Heartless and cruel,” Shirley mocked coldly.Adam fell silent for a few seconds before he finally reacted.“It’s you.” His mind was supplied with a certain identity. He was dumbfounded by the identity and slightly surprised.“Yeah, it’s me,” Shirley replied Adam without hesitation, “We’ll be meeting very soon, Adam. Although I don’t think you’ll be looking forward to it.”Adam fell silent again and ignored Shirley’s words. He changed the subject, saying, “Why did you pick up the phone? Where’s Eveline? How is Jeremy doing?”Shirley scoffed. “Didn’t I tell you? He’s dying soon and his wife is next to him, heartbroken.”“Bullsh*t! He can’t possibly be in any life-threatening danger!” It was clear from Adam’s tone that he was panicking. “I won’t let you fool around like this!”Adam quickly hung up the phone with that.Sh

Madeline was surprised as well to see the person coming down from the car. "Shirley, why are you here as well?"Shirley let out a friendly smile that looked almost generous. "Didn't I say before that I'm coming back home? This is my home."Madeline pointed at the small villa ahead. "This is your house?""Yup, this is my house." Shirley nodded confidently. Then, she walked toward Adam who was looking all serious. "Adam, your sister is back home. Why aren't you looking happy at all?"That piece of information made Madeline flabbergasted. "Shirley, you're Adam's sister?""That's right, I'm Adam's sister. I'm his biological sister with the same father and mother." Shirley raised her hand and gently tapped on Adam's shoulder. She let out a mystifying smile. "Adam, why don't you introduce your friends to me?"Adam heard the comment and let out a smile that was not obvious. "There's no need for me to introduce you since you guys already seem to know each other." He took two steps ahead

Adam did not attend to Shirley either as he led both Madeline and Jeremy into his room where he worked.The room was spacious, and the interior was decorated in a way that was way more superior to those seen in the hospital. There was various equipment that seemed rather advanced placed beside.Madeline stood aside and watched Adam conducting various examinations on Jeremy.Finally, Adam took a blood sample from Jeremy and immediately placed it on a piece of equipment to conduct the analysis.Madeline was feeling perturbed during the waiting process.However, she just noticed that the color of Jeremy’s blood sample was not as dark as it used to be. That was a good sign.Approximately ten minutes later, the result was out.“Adam, is everything alright for Jeremy?” Madeline asked.“Don’t be too worried, Linnie. My condition will definitely be better than before.” Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand and comforted her.“If you’re really much better, then why did your condition deteri

Adam looked over and fixed his gaze, noticing that Shirley was holding an item that looked like a little bottle of perfume. Inside the bottle was filled with a liquid that looked almost transparent.Shirley generously handed over the bottle to Adam. “Sniff it.”Adam sensed that nothing good would be happening. He received the bottle, removed the cap, and gently sniffed it. It made his expression change immediately.“The contents of this...”“Mm-hmm.”“No wonder Jeremy’s condition suddenly deteriorated. It’s because this thing is causing it!” Adam came to an understanding. “Shirley, a doctor’s responsibility is to save human lives, not to harm them!”“Doctor? Ah, haha…” Shirley sneered, “They’ve poured so much effort to make you into a good doctor, but how about me? Thanks to them, I’m just a devil who’s an opponent to the angels like you guys.”“Shirley, you’ve misunderstood Dad and Mom. That year—”“Don’t mention anything about the past to me!” Shirley cut him short fiercely a

”Adam, just ignore this guy. Let’s head back into the house.” Amy walked to Adam’s side and held onto his arm tightly.Adam did not intend to continue with the situation and nodded as he spun around while holding onto Amy’s hand to leave.“Cathy!”Felipe shouted at Amy’s back when she turned around.Amy came to a halt when she heard it.Felipe was delighted. “Cathy.”He was looking forward to it but he saw Amy looking irritated instead when she turned her face around. “What is wrong with you? I’ve already said plenty of times that I’m not Cathy. Can you please stop bugging me? You’re really irritating!”She did not tolerate any disturbance and reprimanded Felipe. Then, she held onto Adam’s arm and spun around.The look of anticipation in Felipe’s eyes was gone, and it was as if his heart was being shattered into pieces.She claimed that he was very irritating.However, she used to tell him that she would always like him and would pester him for life—even if he only treated he

Feeling the pang of a guilty conscience, he grasped onto the bill in his hand, not wanting to let Madeline know about his thoughts.However, it was impossible that Madeline missed the gleam of avoidance in his eyes.“Let me see that.” Madeline did not ask anything and immediately stretched out her hand to Jeremy.Jeremy dared not disobey Madeline and obediently handed over the bill of appointment that had just been issued.Madeline took it over and lowered her gaze to have a look. The moment she saw the contents of the appointment, her eyes glittered in astonishment and surprise.She raised her gorgeous eyes and looked at the man who was composed. “Jeremy, you…”“Linnie, I’ve made up my mind.” Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand. “This will be the best for us. You won’t object to it, right?”“How can I object to it when you’re thinking this much for me?” Madeline let out a faint smile. “Jeremy, I hope in the future, the days will be sweeter. I just hope you’ll be with me and accomp
