Jeremy looked at the clock. While waiting for Fabian's arrival, Jeremy observed Madeline. He noticed Madeline gradually lay on the bed on her side, half curling her body with her back facing him.Jeremy, noticing Madeline’s discomfort, truly wanted to rush in, but was afraid he might set her off again.Besides, Evan came in earlier to notify him that Fabian would be arriving soon.In no time, Fabian indeed arrived.With a cool expression, Fabian briefly met Jeremy's eyes, then lifted his hand and handed the anti-toxoid test reagent to Jeremy."Take it."Jeremy felt relieved the moment he saw the anti-toxoid test reagent.Although it would not be able to completely eliminate the poison in Madeline's body, at the very least, it could help stabilize her condition.Jeremy took it, then looked at Fabian and conveyed his gratitude, "Thanks."Fabian did not speak. It was Evan who kindly asked, "Do you need my help?""Mr. Whitman is already very used to carrying out injection procedu
Madeline did not find Fabian to be unfamiliar because ever since her arrival there, she had seen Fabian and Evan the most.She could tell that Fabian intended to block the entrance, but she had no means of retreating.The moment she took a step forward, her wrist was yanked by Jeremy who came rushing over behind her."Believe me, Linnie. I'm not lying to you. You're really sick. Once you've taken this injection, you'll know that I'm not lying to you."Jeremy emphasized sincerely, hoping that Madeline would believe him.However, Madeline only wanted to free herself from his grip. "It's impossible for me to have faith in you again, Jeremy. I no longer have feelings for you!""Linnie.""All of you, get away. Even if I were to die, I'll not die in any of your hands."Madeline desperately struggled to loosen Jeremy’s grip, intending to push Fabian aside and rushed out after that.Fabian, however, was less merciful than Jeremy as Fabian grabbed Madeline's arm in a domineering manner
Evan looked at Jeremy's back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. "Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?"Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy's outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. "Recover? If it's anything like that from last time, I don’t think it’d be that easy to completely recover.""Anything like that from last time?" This piqued Evan’s curiosity again.However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy’s hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline’s marriage certificate. The customer s
Cathy spun around when she heard the commotion, and saw Shirley gracelessly falling onto the ground. The wheelchair beside Shirley was turned over, and she was lying flat on the ground, unable to get up.Upon seeing the situation, Cathy quickly spun around and headed over.She squatted to help Shirley up, but Shirley rejected Cathy, shoving Cathy’s hand."I don't need your pity!" Shirley bit on her lips, eyes agleam with self-deprecation. "Adam must be overjoyed to see me in such a state, isn’t he? He could restore my appearance, yet he’s unwilling to perform the surgery on me! The same goes for you as well."Shirley, fists clenched, glanced at Cathy."You don’t intend to help me at all. You're just forced to take care of a useless person like me because of Adam!""You know that you're forcing this on others, then?" Adam suddenly walked in through the door.Shirley briefly paused, before letting out a cold chuckle."Hehe. Adam, you’re finally speaking your mind. You’ve never th
“Adam, come over and give me a hand."Adam understood Cathy's meaning, but in fact, he had already intended to help.However, Shirley was aware that Cathy and Adam were trying to help her up at the moment, but she pretended to be deep in thought, silently accepting Adam and Cathy's kind intention.The sun began to set for the evening.Adam parked his car at the entrance of the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.Although it was before the time for the commencement of the wedding banquet, the entrance was already streaming with guests.Shirley was sitting at the rear seat of the car, watching the guests going into the main entrance. She was familiar with many people there, actually.Carter's wedding ceremony was a grand one. A day before the wedding, the net was bombarded with the news of his wedding.The honorable viscount of St. Piaf was about to get married, and it attracted the attention of many.Additionally, once Carter's daily life photos were posted on the net, it immedia
Cathy remembered that she had seen the bride’s name on the wedding invitation card, but it did not strike her as familiar, and she believed that she did not know the bride.Cathy shook her head. "No idea.”"Hmph. Of course, you wouldn't know."Shirley smiled, seemingly talking to herself."She's considered a childhood sweetheart of Carter's, but he has always hated this woman, so much so that he had even used Eveline as a shield to rid himself of her."Speaking of Carter’s engagement with Madeline, Cathy knew parts of it, but she was not privy to the fact that Carter had been using Madeline to get rid of another woman.However, on that night, he was about to marry that same woman he had wanted to shake off.Cathy found it rather ridiculous.However, after considering Carter's status, she could see that there were logical reasons behind all this."Are you close to the bride?" Cathy casually asked."Not at all," Shirley answered without thinking twice, her eyes glittered scornf
Actually, Carter too had not expected himself to show up with Ada in front of his friends and relatives in such a manner.However, after considering the benefits, he had accepted Camille’s proposal.He wanted to be the heir of St. Piaf, and to do that, he would need help from Ada’s family.Similarly, Ada had assumed that she no longer had the chance to be the viscountess, nor had she expected Camille to reach out to her. Ada finally found her value. At that moment, Ada, who was walking beside Carter, felt very confident.She firmly believed that no other woman would be able to threaten her position as the viscountess.Ada put on a thrilled and victorious smile while holding a bouquet, taking one step at a time as she elegantly made her way toward the banquet hall.She tilted her head to look at Carter. On this night, he looked handsome and elegant, evoking a cool, refined aesthetic that tugged at Ada’s heartstrings. She was finally able to be Carter's wife–a dream she had sin
Cathy and Shirley sat in an unnoticeable position at a corner, but, at that moment, they saw Carter seemingly making his way toward them.Cathy looked at Shirley. Despite the latter wearing a mask, Cathy could still easily make out the uneasiness and anxiety in Shirley’s eyes.Shirley felt perturbed because of her love for Carter.If it was not for love, she would have faced him carefreely.However, in reality, she could not let go of her feelings. She was deeply in love with him, and that had led her to this day.Naturally, Shirley saw Carter walking toward her. Indeed, she felt very nervous and her palms started to drench in sweat.She dared not face Carter, but her gaze, against her volition, was attracted to him.It seemed Carter had noticed it, and his gaze also looked toward Shirley.As Shirley started to feel anxious and thought that Carter was about to look at her, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt, and he respectfully greeted an elderly.Unsure whether it was disa
