Chapter 1773
Jeremy took the invitation card and opened it to have a look.The interesting thing about this invitation was that it only indicated the time and location of the wedding, but not the names of the groom and bride.Jeremy intuitively felt that Carter cared not for the woman who was going to marry him, so the bride’s name was not on the card.In reality, it was just as Jeremy thought.On the other side, Cathy had been caring for Shirley, who had lost all feeling in her legs, every day.Although Cathy despised and looked down on Shirley for everything she had done in the past, Shirley was still Adam’s sister, and Cathy was sincerely grateful for Adam.She also knew that, deep down, Adam still cared about his sister too.Shirley had initially resisted intensely, but now, it seemed that she had grown used to it and started to accept Cathy’s care.Presently, as Cathy finished bathing Shirley, there came a shout from the delivery person downstairs.Cathy went down to receive the deliv

However, he felt that they were getting along quite well right now too.Loving someone did not necessarily mean getting them.The best scenario would be that both sides felt comfortable.“Adam, are you home?” At this moment, Shirley’s voice drifted from the room upstairs.Adam and Cathy shared a look. “I’ll go upstairs and take a look at her.”“Okay. I’ll prepare some breakfast for her.”“Okay.” Adam gently nodded and went upstairs after he saw Cathy turning around.Shirley had basically accepted the fact that she was now disfigured and crippled. She could not be considered to have fully accepted it, but she had no choice but to face this.When she saw Adam arriving, her attitude was still cold and disdainful, and it even had a hint of arrogance. “What were you muttering about with her downstairs? If there’s something to say, why couldn’t you just say it to my face?” Shirley asked in a questioning tone, and her expression was icy.Adam replied with the same cold attitude, “T

When she thought about the possibility of the wound on her face recovering one day, Shirley asked impatiently, “What is it? What do you want in exchange?”Adam’s eyes lit up. “The anti-toxoid test reagent for AXT69.”As he spoke, an evident change came over Shirley’s expression.The glow and expectation in her eyes disappeared as well.“There isn’t any,” Shirley answered simply.“There isn’t any? You’re the one who developed the poison, so how is it possible that you don’t have a way to cure the poison?” Adam found this suspicious. “If you truly want your face to recover, you’d best hand me the anti-toxoid test reagent now.”Shirley put on a bitter and miserable smile on her face. “If I don’t have the anti-toxoid test reagent, you won’t perform the surgery on me, is that right?”“Yes.”“Heh.” Shirley smirked sarcastically, leaning against the bed. “I guess I’ll be ugly for the rest of my life then.”“Even if you were to recover, you’ll still be ugly because your heart is black

“I truly have no idea who you’re talking about.”“...” Shirley knew that Adam was doing this on purpose. She genuinely wanted to know how both of her parents died back then, but she refused to utter the two words “mom” and “dad”.Feeling displeased, she changed the topic.“Adam, are you best friends with Jeremy and his wife? Why are you helping them so much? Not only have you been doing whatever it takes to develop the anti-toxoid test reagent for them, you’d even stayed by Ryan’s side as a spy.”“Even if they’re not my friends, I would still save them because I’m a doctor.”Adam answered, neither humble nor haughty, then questioned.“Now, it’s my turn to ask you. How did you know Ryan? Why were you developing a poison to harm Jeremy? Lana got hold of this poison back then, so does it mean you know Lana too? However, Ryan was the one manipulating Lana and Yorick this whole time. What on earth is the connection behind all of this?”Adam’s questions came one after another, momenta

When Cathy, who was in the open kitchen, saw this, she hastily ran to the living room.“Are you okay?” Cathy examined Shirley with concern.When Adam heard the sound, he ran back to the house, quickening his pace, then saw Shirley who sat motionlessly in the wheelchair as if she had lost her mind, and he suddenly felt worried.As Adam got closer and noticed the wedding invitation that fell out of the rubbish bin, he immediately understood why Shirley was like this.Without batting an eyelid, he grabbed a broom and swept the trash on the floor, including the wedding invitation, into the dustpan.“Did you throw this away?” Shirley questioned; her voice was extremely cold.Adam calmly asked, “Should I not have thrown this kind of trash away, and kept this eyesore instead?”“Trash? Give it to me,” Shirley ordered, her fists clenched.Adam ignored her and immediately threw the invitation card into the rubbish bin.When Shirley saw this, she furiously bit her lip, then, using the on

Cathy and Adam could not help but sympathize with Shirley as she tried to suppress her pain.“Two days from now, you’ll accompany me to this hotel.”Shirley turned to Cathy and requested.“I’ll give you a handsome reward. On that day, you must stick with me. You’ll do whatever I ask you to do.”When Adam heard this, he thought it pathetic. “Shirley, what do you mean? Are you going to attend Carter’s wedding? You’d even want Cathy as your bodyguard?”Shirley held back her tears. She then lifted her red but beautiful eyes, displaying a meaningful smile, and looked at Cathy, then at Adam.“She said it, didn’t she? I have the right to choose, and I choose to attend the wedding. Don’t tell me that it’s not allowed?”“...” Adam was momentarily speechless. However, he quickly snapped back, “Alright, you want to go, huh? You can go alone. Cathy will not be your maid.”“She can do whatever she likes. If she won’t go, I can hire other people. There are a lot of money-minded people who ar
Chapter 1779
After Madeline had finished cleaning the house and rested, she called all the friends she knew in F Country, asking them for information about Fabian.Madeline had thought that this might be difficult because Fabian kept a much lower profile than Yorick and Lana in F Country. However, when Madeline mentioned Fabian’s name, not only was everyone familiar with the name, nearly all of them spoke with lamentation when talking about Fabian.“Ah, Fabian has been very active in F Country for the past six months. He seems to come from a family with a powerful background.”“Fabian Johnson? I know him. His brother Yorick could be considered a person of some status in F Country. However, Fabian’s not the same as his brother. I like that kid.”“You mean Mr. Johnson? Back then, I worked with him on a project. He’s very decisive and capable in his conduct. He doesn’t seem like a twenty-year-old young man at all.”Madeline held the phone as she heard the people on the other end of the line com

“Fabian, are you forcing me to call the cops?” Madeline turned around and looked at him. “Do you want me to inform the police of your crimes of kidnapping my daughter and threatening her safety?”As Madeline walked toward Fabian who had his back against her, her sharp eyes betrayed a look of remorse.“Fabian, could it be that you want to walk the same path that your brother and sister had taken? Are you going to keep testing the limit that shouldn’t be tested?”As Madeline’s voice fell, Fabian turned around abruptly.He stared straight at Madeline, and at this moment, his eyes no longer showed the friendliness and gentleness from back then. Madeline caught sight of a flash of enmity, rage, and conflict in Fabian’s eyes.Conflict. He was conflicted.The look in Fabian’s eyes only calmed down seconds later.The corners of his lips curled up slightly into a soft smiley.“Since you have flown all the way here to find me, I couldn’t very well dismiss you, Mrs. Whitman. There’s a dec
