Fabian blurted out all his suspicion.
Shirley was momentarily stunned, then a trace of self-blame appeared in her eyes.
“You’re right to be suspicious. I used to collude with Carter, and I’d done what he wanted me to do. I was a fool with no self-respect who could not think for myself.“ Shirley laughed at herself.
Upon hearing Shirley’s description of herself, Fabian was surprised and a little embarrassed.
Knowing that Shirley helped Madeline rescue Lillian before, Fabian coughed twice and corrected Shirley before thanking her.
“Ahem, I, I was just too worried about Lily, so that’s why I didn’t think before I spoke. You don’t have to take it to heart. I know that you are actually different from Carter. He doesn’t have a heart.“
Fabian explained. He did feel that Shirley and Carter were not the same.
If Shirley had truly been that nasty, Madeline would not have been able to rescue Lillian.
After listening to Fabian’s explanation, Shirley just smiled calmly.
In fact, she no longer cared about what others thought of her.
“Shirley, you had originally developed this test reagent, so you must have a way to prepare an antidote, don’t you?“
Madeline asked urgently, looking at the spots on her baby princess’s skin. At that moment, she only felt distressed.
Shirley gently put the piece of paper on the coffee table. “Carter didn’t lie to you, and the formula is true. Also, even though there is indeed no antidote, I can try to make one. But I just don’t know if I can buy the corresponding materials needed for the antidote.“
“Don’t worry too much about this, I can ask Evan for help.“ Fabian was very confident.
Shirley nodded, her expression becoming anxious again.
“Are you worried about Carter?“ Madeline saw something wrong with Shirley’s expression, so she could vaguely guess the reason behind it.
