A surprised look flashed on Carter’s face when he heard Adam’s words, but it disappeared as quickly.
Carter smiled and, in a voice tinged with mockery, responded, “It appears that Dr. Brown doesn’t merely sit in the clinic and conduct experiments; he also studies other people’s private matters.”
“I’m completely uninterested in your private matters. I just happened to come across some unethical matters by chance and paid some attention to them.”
Carter smiled faintly, but this time, his smile did not reach his eyes.
Ten minutes later, the car pulled into the Gray Manor.
Adam got out of the car and rushed toward the hallway with Cathy following him closely.
While Adam felt anxious at that moment, Cathy was feeling uneasy and guilty as well.
Perhaps she should not have allowed Shirley to stay back the other day. If anything happened to Shirley,
she could hardly avoid the blame.
However, when Cathy and Adam hastily barged into the hallway, they were surprised to find Shirley leisurely seated on the sofa, enjoying desserts.
There were even two servants looking after her.
This scene was completely different from what they had imagined based on Carter’s words.
Shirley was equally surprised to see Cathy and Adam.
As Shirley opened her mouth to ask what was happening, she saw Carter casually strolling in behind Adam.
“Are you happy to see your brother?” Carter asked idly as he stepped further into the hallway. “You hardly see each other. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Adam calmly eyed Carter, whose expression was cold and proud, and walked up directly to Shirley.
“Come home with me.”
As he spoke, he reached out for the wheelchair beside him, intending to bring Shirley out of this place.
