Chapter 1744
After Madeline had finished speaking, she left.She had initially come here to look for Adam. While she was at it, she went to check up on Shirley. She had not expected to nearly have another brush with trouble.Regardless, just as she and Jeremy had expected, whoever kidnapped Shirley had achieved their goal of making Shirley misunderstand Madeline.Madeline had a hunch regarding this person’s identity.In the hospital room.Jeremy was telling Lillian a fairytale.The little princess drifted into sleep while listening to the delightful fairytale. Jeremy then planted a soft kiss on the little princess’ cheek before tucking her in. As he was getting up, he saw that Madeline had returned.Madeline and Jeremy looked at the little girl who had fallen asleep, then shared a look and a smile. With a tacit understanding, they then walked toward the chairs by the entrance and sat down next to each other.“Linnie, what’s the situation over there?”“Coincidentally, Shirley had a flare-up

Adam calmly completed the injection, then his gaze drifted over to Shirley’s hostile face. He had not a single ounce of intention to explain, and he could not be bothered with quibbling with Shirley about this.He looked at Cathy who stood by the bedside and gently said, “Cathy, you should head back. I’ll watch her.”Cathy shook her head. “I can still watch her. You must be exhausted today.”Adam unenthusiastically glanced at Shirley. “I can’t help that I’m related to this person.”He sounded disgusted as he uttered this.“...” Shirley was speechless.Cathy had wanted to advise Adam again to rest, but she also figured that Adam might want to have a word with Shirley, so she spoke no further.“I’ll bring breakfast tomorrow. You should get some rest soon as well, Adam,” Cathy said and grabbed her bag.Adam sent Cathy to the entrance and did not forget to remind her, “Be careful.”After sending Cathy off, Adam returned to the hospital room.Color had returned to Shirley’s face;

For someone who had weathered many storms, he had expected himself to be unmoved by this, but right now, he was fretful.Up until daybreak, Shirley’s whereabouts still eluded him.Carter then decided to search for her himself. However, as he got up, someone abruptly pushed the study room door open.Through the entrance came Camille.Carter found this unexpected. “Why are you in Glendale as well?”Camille did not answer Carter, but asked, “Are you looking for Shirley?”Carter paused briefly when he heard that, then calmly admitted it. “I am.”“Why are you still looking for her?” Camille’s expression turned extremely sour in an instant. “You should have seen through this kind of woman a long time ago.”This kind of woman.The corners of Carter’s eyebrows seemed to furrow slightly at Camille’s description of Shirley.“Carter, don’t tell me that you’re still concerned for this woman. If you recall what she’d done back then, you shouldn’t still have feelings for her.”Camille’s w

Of course, Shirley understood what Adam meant, but she cared not for that now.As a woman, she could not accept her face to be disfigured.Now that she had lost the ability to feel and move her legs, and no one would help her to a mirror, she could only pick up the small mirror Adam had tossed to her.Before she looked, Shirley was mentally prepared because, even if she could not see them, she could feel the uneven scars on her right cheek.She held her breath and brought the mirror to her eyes. Despite the small size of the mirror, she could still clearly see the hideous scar on her initially flawless face.Shirley’s eyes widened, staring at the scar for about ten seconds. She then violently threw the mirror at the floor, smashing it.“No!”She could not accept this reality even though she had already acknowledged this earlier.Adam coldly observed Shirley by the side as she leaned against the bed. Her face was pale, both hands clutching the bedsheet. In the end, she could not

Holding the breakfast in hand, Cathy saw the scene unfolded when she reached the hospital room entrance. After some contemplation, she decided to speak up. “Adam, I have an idea, but I’m not sure how the both of you will feel about it.”Shirley and Adam lifted their gaze at the same time.Cathy slowly stepped into the room and suggested, “Adam’s house is big, and the guest room is always empty. Further, Adam, you’re Miss Brown’s doctor. If both of you were to stay at the same place, it’d be more convenient for you to keep a close eye on your patient’s condition.”Cathy then paused, deliberately observing the changes in Shirley and Adam’s expressions.“At the end of the day, Miss Brown is still your sister, and it’s very normal to have your sister staying with you. What do you think, Adam?”After listening to Cathy’s suggestion, Adam darted a cold look at Shirley from the corner of his eyes, then sarcastically asked, “Does she still think that she’s my sister?”“It seems more like

Carter had been here once, so he knew this was Adam’s house.However, Shirley and Adam were antagonistic. He knew that Shirley despised her brother, so he found it curious that Shirley would be staying here.As the wind and snow grew heavier, Carter stepped into the house, feeling the warmth enveloping him.He patted away the snow accumulated on his shoulder and entered.Cathy was making soup for Shirley. She quickly lifted her gaze when she heard the sudden footsteps entering the house and saw Carter walking toward the stairs.Cathy became more alert at the sight of Carter. “You’re trespassing again, Mr. Gray.”Carter, paying no heed to her words, glanced at Cathy. “She’s upstairs, right?”“The person you’re looking for is not here. Please leave.” Cathy’s attitude was firm.Carter continued ignoring Cathy and kept to himself as he went upstairs.“Stop!” Cathy hurried toward him to intervene. “Carter, this isn’t your house. You can’t come here whenever you want.”When her voi

Carter’s face fell. Extremely annoyed, he turned around, and this time, instead of seeing Cathy, he was met with a pair of fearless and determined eyes.“I’ve never hit anyone before, and I too hope you won’t be the first to make me go against my principles.”Adam’s piercing eyes confronted Carter’s.Carter had not expected Adam to suddenly return home, but even so, this was not enough to prevent him from seeing Shirley.Of course, Adam could tell what Carter was thinking. While pulling on Carter’s arm, unrelenting, Adam gave Cathy a look.Cathy immediately understood and swiftly ran upstairs.When Carter saw this, he tried to break away from Adam’s grip to follow Cathy, but Adam further tightened his grip.Carter finally could not continue maintaining his elegant and noble façade.“Adam, right now, you still have a chance. I don’t want to fight you,” Carter said while giving Adam a knowing look as if he was holding back a rage of fury that could erupt at any time.However, Ad
Chapter 1751
When Shirley heard the sound of footsteps, she knew Carter was here.She knew she would not be able to hide at this moment, so she could only face him.However, she still did not dare to show the ugly half of her face to the man she looked up to and admired. The moment Carter appeared, she turned her body and hid her right cheek that was scarred so that Carter could not see. She only allowed him to see her left cheek that still looked flawless, smooth, and charming.As for her crippled legs, she could only continue sitting on the bed while pretending as if she was carefree.Carter looked at Shirley who was sitting motionlessly on the bed and moved his long legs to take two steps closer to the bed.He noticed the coldness on Shirley’s face.“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Carter questioned right after he opened his mouth. His tone sounded extremely cold.However, after he said that, his face gradually fell when he saw that Shirley was ignoring him.“Shirley,” he called out
