As soon as he heard that, Carter turned around hastily and strode toward Shirley’s room.
However, as Carter approached the room, his heartbeat became increasingly rapid with apprehension by the second.
The production of AXP6g had originally been intended for Madeline.
It contained a terrifying ingredient that would take effect and mutate upon entering the human body.
In the end, it would shatter the person’s soul by inducing hallucinations, forcing the person to relive their most painful and humiliating memories.
Carter’s footsteps grew heavier as these thoughts played on his mind.
He felt nervous, along with an unprecedented sense of panic.
He feared that, in a moment, he would see such a version of Shirley too.
An undignified Shirley who was trapped in her painful memories.
Carter’s thoughts ceased abruptly when he arrived a t the door of Shirley’s bedroom.
He felt a wave of inexplicable weight upon him and, for a moment, he felt weak.
Amid Carter’s hesitation, Shirley’s voice drifted from the room. She sounded confused and in pain.
“What happened to my legs? Why don’t they have any strength? Why?”
Upon hearing these words, Carter furrowed his brows. Something did not feel right.
He walked straight into the room without any further hesitation.
As Carter entered, however, all eyes turned to him suddenly.
Camille’s eyebrows were knitted deeply as she gazed at Carter with a mournful expression on her face. “She doesn’t seem to be herself. It’s like she’s forgotten everything that’s happened lately.”
Carter’s heart froze when he heard that. Indeed, she had forgotten.
