Adam was stunned for a moment. “What? What are you saying? Who are you? Where’s Eveline?”“Don’t you recognize me anymore? You’re just like your parents, Adam. Heartless and cruel,” Shirley mocked coldly.Adam fell silent for a few seconds before he finally reacted.“It’s you.” His mind was supplied with a certain identity. He was dumbfounded by the identity and slightly surprised.“Yeah, it’s me,” Shirley replied Adam without hesitation, “We’ll be meeting very soon, Adam. Although I don’t think you’ll be looking forward to it.”Adam fell silent again and ignored Shirley’s words. He changed the subject, saying, “Why did you pick up the phone? Where’s Eveline? How is Jeremy doing?”Shirley scoffed. “Didn’t I tell you? He’s dying soon and his wife is next to him, heartbroken.”“Bullsh*t! He can’t possibly be in any life-threatening danger!” It was clear from Adam’s tone that he was panicking. “I won’t let you fool around like this!”Adam quickly hung up the phone with that.Sh
Madeline was surprised as well to see the person coming down from the car. "Shirley, why are you here as well?"Shirley let out a friendly smile that looked almost generous. "Didn't I say before that I'm coming back home? This is my home."Madeline pointed at the small villa ahead. "This is your house?""Yup, this is my house." Shirley nodded confidently. Then, she walked toward Adam who was looking all serious. "Adam, your sister is back home. Why aren't you looking happy at all?"That piece of information made Madeline flabbergasted. "Shirley, you're Adam's sister?""That's right, I'm Adam's sister. I'm his biological sister with the same father and mother." Shirley raised her hand and gently tapped on Adam's shoulder. She let out a mystifying smile. "Adam, why don't you introduce your friends to me?"Adam heard the comment and let out a smile that was not obvious. "There's no need for me to introduce you since you guys already seem to know each other." He took two steps ahead
Adam did not attend to Shirley either as he led both Madeline and Jeremy into his room where he worked.The room was spacious, and the interior was decorated in a way that was way more superior to those seen in the hospital. There was various equipment that seemed rather advanced placed beside.Madeline stood aside and watched Adam conducting various examinations on Jeremy.Finally, Adam took a blood sample from Jeremy and immediately placed it on a piece of equipment to conduct the analysis.Madeline was feeling perturbed during the waiting process.However, she just noticed that the color of Jeremy’s blood sample was not as dark as it used to be. That was a good sign.Approximately ten minutes later, the result was out.“Adam, is everything alright for Jeremy?” Madeline asked.“Don’t be too worried, Linnie. My condition will definitely be better than before.” Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand and comforted her.“If you’re really much better, then why did your condition deteri
Adam looked over and fixed his gaze, noticing that Shirley was holding an item that looked like a little bottle of perfume. Inside the bottle was filled with a liquid that looked almost transparent.Shirley generously handed over the bottle to Adam. “Sniff it.”Adam sensed that nothing good would be happening. He received the bottle, removed the cap, and gently sniffed it. It made his expression change immediately.“The contents of this...”“Mm-hmm.”“No wonder Jeremy’s condition suddenly deteriorated. It’s because this thing is causing it!” Adam came to an understanding. “Shirley, a doctor’s responsibility is to save human lives, not to harm them!”“Doctor? Ah, haha…” Shirley sneered, “They’ve poured so much effort to make you into a good doctor, but how about me? Thanks to them, I’m just a devil who’s an opponent to the angels like you guys.”“Shirley, you’ve misunderstood Dad and Mom. That year—”“Don’t mention anything about the past to me!” Shirley cut him short fiercely a
”Adam, just ignore this guy. Let’s head back into the house.” Amy walked to Adam’s side and held onto his arm tightly.Adam did not intend to continue with the situation and nodded as he spun around while holding onto Amy’s hand to leave.“Cathy!”Felipe shouted at Amy’s back when she turned around.Amy came to a halt when she heard it.Felipe was delighted. “Cathy.”He was looking forward to it but he saw Amy looking irritated instead when she turned her face around. “What is wrong with you? I’ve already said plenty of times that I’m not Cathy. Can you please stop bugging me? You’re really irritating!”She did not tolerate any disturbance and reprimanded Felipe. Then, she held onto Adam’s arm and spun around.The look of anticipation in Felipe’s eyes was gone, and it was as if his heart was being shattered into pieces.She claimed that he was very irritating.However, she used to tell him that she would always like him and would pester him for life—even if he only treated he
Feeling the pang of a guilty conscience, he grasped onto the bill in his hand, not wanting to let Madeline know about his thoughts.However, it was impossible that Madeline missed the gleam of avoidance in his eyes.“Let me see that.” Madeline did not ask anything and immediately stretched out her hand to Jeremy.Jeremy dared not disobey Madeline and obediently handed over the bill of appointment that had just been issued.Madeline took it over and lowered her gaze to have a look. The moment she saw the contents of the appointment, her eyes glittered in astonishment and surprise.She raised her gorgeous eyes and looked at the man who was composed. “Jeremy, you…”“Linnie, I’ve made up my mind.” Jeremy held onto Madeline’s hand. “This will be the best for us. You won’t object to it, right?”“How can I object to it when you’re thinking this much for me?” Madeline let out a faint smile. “Jeremy, I hope in the future, the days will be sweeter. I just hope you’ll be with me and accomp
Madeline had been taking care of Eloise for two days, and following the doctor's instructions, they brought Eloise back home to take care of her.There was no major problem with Eloise's body, except that she was just feeling weak and did not have the strength to talk. Coupled with her mental state that was not stable, it really made Madeline worried.Jeremy witnessed everything, and the sight made him not want to let Madeline know about his condition.Even though there were times he was feeling frustrated, it all poofed into thin air when he saw those three cute and active kids.The little princess who could only smile but not talk was the exception as she made Jeremy feel remorseful.At this moment, with the slant of the sun during the afternoon of late autumn, Jeremy was heading to the office. Meanwhile, Madeline was accompanying Eloise sunbathing in the courtyard.The two little kids, Jackson and Lillian, were up to something while Pudding, who was still learning to walk, was
Madeline never really thought that in this world, such a face existed.However, judging from the fact that the lady was able to be so calm and approached Madeline first, Madeline knew it was no mere coincidence but a plan plotted by someone else.The lady noticed that Madeline was glancing at her with a critical gaze. That intrigued her interest as she curled the corners of her mouth."Eveline, are you surprised to see this face of mine? Or perhaps, you're pleasantly surprised? That in this world, there's someone who has the exact same face as you?"Madeline calmly stared at the perfect face before her that was similar to hers and put on a smile. "Thanks for letting me know that I'm pretty but sorry, I won't believe that in this world, there’ll be anyone with the exact same face as mine. You deliberately came forth to me and that just shows that you have hidden intentions."She smiled, her eyes glittering clearly."I’m guessing you must be someone I used to know. Why? Do you plan
