Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1857

When Jeremy heard that, he was surprised yet again.

Similarly, Carter was dumbfounded, and his grip on Shirley’s shoulders loosened. “Shirley, what do you mean by this? What do you mean?”

Shirley lifted her wet, red eyes and chuckled bitterly.

“I never wanted to give birth to that child in the first place.”

“I lied when I told you that the poison will affect the child’s growth. All I wanted was to get my hands on the ingredient for the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP6G.”

“What did you say?” Carter looked at Shirley in disbelief as she said that.

“Now that I’ve already achieved what I wanted, there’s nothing left that I can’t bear to part with anymore.”

The light in Shirley’s eyes darkened slowly. “Something bad happened to Addy and Cathy because of me, and they’re no longer here now. There’s no longer anyone in this world who truly cares about me or cares for me. I don’t need the anti

-toxoid test reagent anymore. I just want to finish the end of my journey in peace.”

Every word Shirley spoke drained her, and when she was done, she pressed the switch on the wheelchair and moved forward on her own.

The rain did not lighten, and Shirley’s figure in the wheelchair looked abnormally frail.

Carter immediately chased after her, and so did Jeremy.

“Shirley, what did you say? Did something bad happen to Adam and Cathy? What happened to them? Tell me!” Jeremy questioned anxiously.

When Carter saw that, he went forward to stand between Jeremy and Shirley.

At that moment, Carter, his face and entire body drenched in rain, looked dark and cold. “Jeremy, stay away from her! ”

Of course, Jeremy ignored Carter. Presently, Jeremy

only wanted to know Adam and Cathy’s situation.
