“ I’m sorry. I hope it’s not too late for me to atone for my sins.”
Upon hearing what Shirley said, Madeline and Jeremy felt a little touched in the depths of their hearts.
“Don’t speak. If Adam was aware of this, he wouldn’t want you to be like this as well Let’s go to the hospital.”
Madeline urged but Shirley softly shook her head, her eyes starting to close from exhaustion.
“ I miss my parents and my brother. I also want to apologize to that girl who had been taking care of me for so long …”
Shirley closed her eyes. Warm tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Carter’s eyes reddened as he sobbed.
“Shirley, you only remember your parents, your brother, and Cathy with whom you have no blood relation. But what about me? Did you ever think about our child?”
“Heh.”
Shirley closed her eyes and chuckled.
“We don’t have a child. This child has been destined to die in my womb since the beginning.”
Once again, Shirley’s words simultaneously stabbed Carter’s heart like a sharp knife and also shocked everyone in the room.
Camille, too, was extremely agitated and anxious.
“Carter, ignore whatever she says. Get her to the hospital now! Get to the hospital and you might still have a chance to save the child!”
Shirley laughed when she heard that. She murmured to herself, “It’s no use even if you save the child, he’s destined to not come to this world…”
Even though Shirley was speaking very softly, Carter could still hear her.
Her words made his mind buzz.
