Chapter 1741
Shirley could tell that those hands were that of a woman.
Dazed, she lifted her eyes and was met with a pair of clear, wide eyes.
“The doctor said that your injuries will need proper care to recover, so it’s better if you rest,” Cathy said gently as she slowly helped Shirley back to the bed.
Shirley sat back down, then gave a cold chuckle.
“Which quack said that? Could I ever recover from my current condition? If they can’t even make the most basic of judgments, they shouldn’t even be doctors!”
She mocked cynically while enduring her pain.
“Do those pompous quacks think that they’re being kind by telling such lies? I don’t need such hollow kindnesses! Just say that I am crippled and disfigured! There’s no hope for recovery!”
Upon seeing Shirley giving in to despair, Cathy sternly emphasized.
“Of course there’s hope! Yes, there might be a lot of unqualified doctors out there, but there are also a lot of good doctors, like Adam, who’s also your brother. Believe in him. He’ll definitely help you recover and return to your old self.”
“Shut up!” Shirley huffed, interrupting Cathy. “Who do you think you are? You dare shamelessly spew such nonsense at me? Do you think I know nothing about medicine?”
She turned her face and peered at Adam who was still asleep. “I know everything he knows! However, he might not know what I know. I understand my current situation perfectly. Heh. If I’m helpless at this, what hope can I have for him?”
Arrogance flashed in Shirley’s eyes.
Cathy finally saw the dissatisfaction within Shirley.
It was the extraordinarily intense determination to surpass her brother whom she thought her parents had loved more.
In other words, she was jealous.
However, her jealousy was entirely misplaced.
“You’re Cathy, right?” Shirley stared at Cathy while suppressing the debilitating pain in her body. “Get the nurse for me, immediately. I don’t intend to stay here. I don’t want to see this person, or anyone related to him. I want to leave this hospital immediately!”
“…”
Shirley had not expected this answer. She had wanted to refute Adam when he turned to walk away with a cold expression, but the poison intensified at this moment.
Her pain was so excruciating that she could not straighten herself, and her face abruptly blanched.
Cathy could tell something was wrong with Shirley, so she hurriedly called out to Adam, “Adam! She doesn’t look too good.”
Adam abruptly stopped in his tracks. He hastily looked back and saw Shirley, her head lowered, clutching her shirt around her chest, breathing too erratically and rapidly.
Adam quickly strode back to the front of the room and grabbed Shirley’s wrist, checking her pulse.
He noticed that Shirley’s pulse was unsteady and irregular. This situation was critical yet familiar.
“Do you have the same poison in you as Eveline?” Adam asked in disbelief.
