Chapter 1713
Adam frowned when he heard Jeremy’s question.
He only spoke after a few moments.
“I can’t be certain what symptoms would appear during the final stage, but I realize that Eveline’s flare-ups have been too frequent, and the intervals in between them were very short. This is unlike what you’d experienced back then.”
Jeremy too frowned in turn. “What does this mean?”
“This means that they want to achieve something in a very short period. Once the poison in Eveline’s body reaches its final stage, they’ll use this to coerce you into trading away something beneficial.”
Jeremy had already understood this.
The thing he wanted to know the most right now was the symptoms Madeline would exhibit.
Overwhelmed with worry, he lifted his hand to massage his forehead, exhaustion creeping out from his heart.
“I’m very sorry,” Adam suddenly apologized.
Confused, Jeremy lifted his gaze. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
“At the end of the day, she’s still my sister,” Adam simply answered.
While Jeremy understood what Adam meant, he only had gratitude and appreciation for Adam.
“You’re you, and Shirley’s Shirley. I won’t place you on the same level as her. Additionally, you’ve been helping us this entire time. If it weren’t for you, I’d be dead, and Linnie, as well as Jack, might not be alive now.”
“I am a doctor. It’s my duty to save others.” Adam repeated the same statement but then sighed in regret. “I truly don’t understand her. I’d already shown her the notebook, so why can’t she understand the trouble our parents had endured back then? Why is she still full of resentment?”
When Cathy saw Adam looking so troubled, she walked to his side and lifted her hand, patting his shoulder.
“Adam, don’t be sad. Perhaps your sister is compelled by her hardship.”
