“That’s what happened.” Carter insisted this was what happened, but his eyes were extremely gentle at this moment. “Shirley, you don’t need to bother yourself with any of this. You just need to recuperate properly. Don’t worry, no matter how much effort and money it’ll take, I’ll cure you and make you stand up again.”
After promising her, Carter rose to his feet and walked behind Shirley to push her wheelchair slowly.
Shirley had nothing to say. There were only silent tears falling from her eyes.
She knew that Carter was determined in insisting on his so-called revenge as if he was presently hypnotized by something unseen.
Carter, too, did not speak further but merely pushed Shirley forward…
After Carter had sent Shirley back to her room, she kept feeling that something was not amiss.
She was certain that Carter had already performed the advanced hypnosis on Madeline, but she had no idea how would Madeline act after she was in the advanced hypnosis stage.
She wanted to go out to take a look but a maid stopped her. The maid told her that Carter had given orders for Shirley to stay in her room for these two days and to not go anywhere.
Something would definitely be happening if Carter gave this order. In the next two days, Shirley did hear some activities.
It sounded lively outside. It was as if a lot of people were moving about. Occasionally, she would also hear joyous laughter.
Confused, Shirley asked the maid by her side, and the maid told her, “Mr. Carter is about to get married soon.”
Married?
When Shirley heard that word, her entire body seemed to freeze.
Click. The door of the room opened at this moment.
Camille walked into the room and asked the maid to leave, then Camille walked over to Shirley’s side.
