Chapter 1720
“Shirley, if you’re able to, you could keep on enduring it and suffer. If you can’t stand it anymore, get me the anti-toxoid test reagent. Otherwise, don’t even think about seeing the sun again in this lifetime.”
As he was about to leave after speaking, he happened to hear a customized ringtone.
He looked askance at Shirley, who could not speak at all, then walked to a side, answering the phone.
“Linnie.”
He spoke first, gently calling out to Madeline.
Madeline’s gentle and pleasant voice responded from the other end. “Jeremy, won’t you be coming to the hospital tonight? Is there still work at the company?”
Jeremy turned to glance at Shirley, then walked toward the basement door. “I’ll be done soon. I’ll head over in a moment. You should lie down and rest if you’re tired. Where’s Lily?”
“I’m not tired yet. Lily’s already asleep.”
“I’ll head over now.”
“Take your time. Drive carefully,” Madeline reminded him.
Jeremy felt a warmth in his heart, but he started to feel uneasy again at the thought of Madeline suffering from the poison very soon.
After hanging up, he walked back to Shirley.
“Have you properly thought about what you’re going to do?” he asked bluntly.
Shirley held her arms and, with great effort, lifted her eyelids.
“There’s no anti-toxoid test reagent.”
Shirley’s voice trembled as she spoke.
