Jeremy questioned her immediately, but then he saw Shirley’s pale face and arched body, which seemed as if she was about to curl her body up.
Everything Shirley had done back then made it difficult for Jeremy to empathize with her or pity her, but the thought of Shirley knowing what had happened to Adam and Cathy, Jeremy went up to her and asked.
“Shirley, do you feel unwell?” Jeremy asked coldly.
Shirley lifted her drenched face against the falling rainwater and shook her head weakly. “I’m not unwell.”
“What about Adam and Cathy? Where are they? ” Jeremy asked again.
Shirley grabbed her hands hidden in her sleeves; her eyes were blurred by both tears and rainwater.
“Addy, Cathy…”
Addy?
Jeremy was astonished to hear Shirley addressing Adam as Addy.
From what he could remember, there were profound grievances between Shirley and Adam, and Shirley had been brimming with hatred for Adam.
Now that she was addressing Adam this way, their relationship seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
When Jeremy spotted the tears welling up in Shirley’s eyes, he felt that something was not right.
“Did something happen to Adam and Cathy? Shirley, tell me.”
Jeremy was starting to feel annoyed as well. Deep down, he was very concerned about Adam and Cathy too.
They were not only his friends; they were close friends, and they had saved his family before.
In the face of Jeremy’s questioning, Shirley’s vision was getting blurrier and blurrier; she started to fall in and out of consciousness.
She wanted to answer Jeremy. She wanted to speak. However, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
Jeremy, noticing that something was off with Shirley, lifted his hand to grab Shirley’s shoulders when suddenly, a glaring high beam shone brightly from a side, and the light was accompanied by honking.
