Chapter 1712
“Did you do that on purpose? You want to free your brother, don’t you?” Carter asked coldly, the sternness expressed with the corners of his eyes and his eyebrows frightened Shirley.
“I… Cough cough… Why would I let him go?” Shirley answered Carter as she coughed. “He was the reason my parents had neglected me back then, the reason they’d sent me to study abroad. It wasn’t for my future. The fact was that they’d just wanted a better opportunity to nurture their precious son. Hmph!”
Shirley looked toward the direction where Adam had left and chuckled coldly.
“I only want to see just how great their precious, cherished son truly is.”
Shirley said this through gritted teeth.
Nonetheless, tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes. Her fists clenched as the thought of the notebook, containing her father’s handwritten, surfaced in her mind.
Upon hearing Shirley’s words and seeing the tears trickling out of the corners of her eyes, Carter’s eyes darkened.
He suddenly bent down and carried Shirley, who had still been lying on her side on the floor, in a bridal carry.
Shirley did not dare to expect much more. Being in Carter’s arms right now was exactly what she had wanted.
…
The hospital.
It was the middle of the night when Jeremy got back to the hospital room.
Even though Madeline had been injected with some tranquilizer, she was still shivering under the blankets.
Jeremy’s heart ached. There was nothing else he could do for Madeline.
If it was possible, he truly would endure it all in Madeline’s place.
