Chapter 1736
The light in the basement was dim, so Shirley could not see the woman’s face. However, she could imagine how malicious this woman’s face would look now.“What are you trying to do?” Shirley supported herself with both hands and tried her best to move backward.She was not scared of the torture this woman would inflict on her, but she could not accept sustaining any injuries on her face.No woman could accept this.The woman waved the fruit knife and strode in front of Shirley, towering over her as she arrogantly peered askance at Shirley.“Shirley, I know I can never compare to you in some aspects and I can never replace you. The only thing I can do now is to change your physical appearance.”After Shirley heard this, she was even more certain that this woman wanted to disfigure her.She knew if she did not fight back, her face would be atrociously disfigured in her hands.She could not sit here and resign to her fate.When she saw the woman waving the knife at her face, Shirl

Shirley clutched her face and ran forward without bothering which way she was going, braving the biting cold wind and snow.The blood that seeped through the gaps of her fingers fell on the white snow drop by drop, and beautiful blooming flowers seemed to appear on the ground in a split secondShirley did not know how long she had been running for, nor did she know where she was headed to. Her consciousness was getting more and more blurry. When she almost fainted, she rushed out into the road.A taxi could not stop in time and directly crashed into Shirley who was running around blindly.The taxi driver quickly hit the brakes and was so scared by this sudden incident that he was holding the steering wheel without budging an inch.“It’s not my fault. She ran out into the road. It’s not my fault.”The driver kept emphasizing.When Adam and Cathy saw this from the backseat, the two of them opened the door and got out at the same time.As a doctor, Adam would not leave the wounded

She would not feel assured if she did not have the anti-toxoid test reagent that Adam gave her with her.If Jeremy were to experience another flare-up at a sudden timing, she would not know what to do.However, even though she could get through to Adam, no one was picking up the call.Madeline figured that Adam might be busy, so she thought she would call him later. However, when she was about to put her phone away, Adam called her back.Madeline quickly answered the call and heard Cathy’s voice from the other side.“Evie, it’s me.”“Cathy, are you with Adam? Is he unable to come to the phone now?”“Evie, he can’t come to the phone because…”After Madeline heard what Cathy said, her eyes flashed suddenly.Jeremy came back into the ward after making the call. When he saw Madeline’s strange expression, he strode to her and asked, “Linnie, what’s going on?”“Something bad has happened to Shirley.” After Madeline said that, she grabbed Jeremy’s hand to walk out of the ward. At th

After hearing this, Adam felt his heart turn ice-cold. It was as though it had been submerged in bone-chilling ice water, causing his entire body to freeze.When Madeline heard this while standing at the side, she found the situation to be strange. She did not dare to believe that Shirley would die just like this. “Doctor, how’s the patient doing now?”When the doctor saw that Madeline was with Adam, he explained in detail, “Judging from the current situation, she may end up losing her mobility and will have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. The wound on her face is also abnormally deep, so it can be said that she’ll be disfigured.”Disability and disfigurement.Madeline immediately recalled her own situation from back then. She had been blind and also disfigured. It could be said that she had gone through the exact same thing as what Shirley was going through now.“This is the patient’s current state. Perhaps she might improve after a recovery period, but it might

“I don’t know if her leg will recover, but I’m sure you have a way to heal her face, right?”When Cathy asked this, her eyes were twinkling.She believed that Adam had this ability.After she asked that, both of them fell into a brief moment of silence.Adam looked as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Cathy with a small smile on his handsome, flawless face.“Thank you, Cathy.”“If you thank me, you’re treating me as an outsider. Adam, you’re like my family member, so you don’t have to be courteous to me.”Family member.When those two words reached Adam’s ears, he felt happy yet disappointed at the same time.However, he was feeling more delighted than anything.After all, a family member went beyond a friend; it was a special presence.Shirley was transferred to a private hospital ward.After being unconscious for a day, she woke up in the middle of the night.Despite feeling very weak when she lifted her hand, she still u

Shirley could tell that those hands were that of a woman.Dazed, she lifted her eyes and was met with a pair of clear, wide eyes.“The doctor said that your injuries will need proper care to recover, so it’s better if you rest,” Cathy said gently as she slowly helped Shirley back to the bed.Shirley sat back down, then gave a cold chuckle.“Which quack said that? Could I ever recover from my current condition? If they can’t even make the most basic of judgments, they shouldn’t even be doctors!”She mocked cynically while enduring her pain.“Do those pompous quacks think that they’re being kind by telling such lies? I don’t need such hollow kindnesses! Just say that I am crippled and disfigured! There’s no hope for recovery!”Upon seeing Shirley giving in to despair, Cathy sternly emphasized.“Of course there’s hope! Yes, there might be a lot of unqualified doctors out there, but there are also a lot of good doctors, like Adam, who’s also your brother. Believe in him. He’ll defi

Shirley effortfully retracted her hand. “I don’t need your concern.”“I certainly don’t want to be concerned about you. Even if you were to suffer and die by this poison, a pernicious person like you would deserve it.”“...”“Adam.”“However, I have not forgotten. I’m a doctor, and it is a doctor’s duty to save others. Just like with mom and dad, I won’t let anyone die by my watch, not even if they’re my enemies.”“...”Shirley’s movement immediately became sluggish when she heard these words. It was as if the pain had stopped at this moment as well.“Heh. Hehe...”After a long while, she chuckled, coldly and bitterly.When she returned to her senses, Adam was no longer in the room; only Cathy remained, standing at one side.“Adam will be back soon.”Shirley said nothing in response, no longer having the energy to speak.Although she had developed the poison, she had never known that one of the components could cause such intense pain once inside the human body.It was s

When Cathy saw this, she swiftly ran up to intervene. “Evie, watch out!”Madeline was caught off guard by this sudden attack, but with her agile reflexes, she easily caught Shirley’s wrist, putting a stop to her deranged action.“Evie, are you okay?”Worried, Cathy walked over to Madeline’s side, then turned toward Shirley and reprimanded her.“Why do you still want to hurt people? Even now, do you still not think that you’ve gone too far? What on earth did Evie do to offend you, causing you to hurt her time and time again?”Shirley, enduring the waves of pain, stared at Madeline through gritted teeth.“Yes… Why do I want to hurt her time and time again? It’s because I am heinous! It’s because I’m a cold-blooded, inhumane tool! Hahahaha…”Shirley started laughing maniacally in self-deprecation, then tightly gritted her teeth as she endured the intense discomfort.“Eveline, do you find it extremely infuriating and depressing that you’ve encountered someone like me? One can only
