Madeline eyed the letter Jeremy took out from the bottom of the box.
When she opened it, it was evident that it was from Shirley.
There was but a simple line of words on the letter. “ Jeremy, these are the test reagents that can get rid of the remaining poison in your body. When that happens, the color of your hair and pupils will return to normal. I’ve written down the directions to use them on the box. I hope you get well soon.
I’m sorry.”
The signature was Shirley’s.
Her handwriting was very beautiful, just like how she had looked.
In reality, however, Shirley’s heart was not that vile and foul.
After Madeline and Jeremy finished reading the letter, they shot another look at the box of test reagents, feeling slightly touched.
However, right now, Madeline felt more relieved. He could finally go back to the way he had been.
In the hospital.
Shirley woke up from her deep slumber groggily. To her surprise, she saw Carter at the side of her bed with his eyes closed.
She was not dead.
Shirley closed her eyes in disappointment, then moved gently. However, her movement shot an excruciating pain through her as if her body was in pieces.
She remembered what happened before she lost consciousness.
She no longer had the will to live. She wanted to die. She missed her parents. She missed Adam. She also wanted to apologize to Cathy.
She had rolled her wheelchair directly onto the stairs.
She had thought that she could fall to her death, but she did not.
A sudden thought came to her, and she lifted her hands to touch her flat stomach. The feeling of emptiness made her warm around the eyes.
