She remembered him calling her this way back then, but it had been before she left without notice.

Before that, Carter had truly been good to her.

“Shirley, don’t worry. No matter what happens to you, I’ll take care of you forever.”

Carter promised softly.

Shirley could not believe what she heard. She felt her heart skipping a beat, and tears escaped her eyes disobediently once again.

Carter, noticing the tears in the corners of Shirley’s eyes, paused, looking pleasantly surprised.

“Shirley, you’re awake? Are you awake?”

Shirley did not want to keep up the act any further. She slowly opened her wet, red eyes, and calmly met an elated Carter.

“I don’t need you to take care of me, and I won’t go back to St. Piaf with you. I want to die in Glendale, to die in my hometown. I want to be buried with my parents and brother.”

Shirley, determined, pulled her hand away from Carter’s palm.

“I don’t want to see you again. Seeing you merely reminds me that I killed my brother and that in

    When Madeline and Jeremy were about to leave the house, Jeremy received a call from an unknown number. The young woman from the other end of the line said she was a nurse from a hospital.After listening to what the nurse from the other end said, Jeremy discussed it with Madeline and decided to drop by the hospital.Shirly was in bed, staring at the clock in front of her as the time passed second by second. Amid her uneasiness, the door finally opened.She had thought Madeline and Jeremy had arrived, but the one who had pushed open the door and entered was Carter.Carter caught sight of the expectant look in Shirley’s eyes turning into disappointment in a flash.“Who are you expecting?” Carter, finding this suspicious, asked and glanced toward the door.Shirley did not speak. Ignoring Carter, she closed her eyes and laid back down.Upon seeing Shirley’s cold attitude, Carter walked to the side of the bed.“I’ll take you back to St. Piaf soon.”Shirley did not even lift her eye

    She had said that she was Jeremy and Madeline’s family. She hoped that they would come to pick her up soon, but it was just wishful thinking that her feelings were reciprocated. She had hurt them so badly. Why would they come and help her?As Shirley despaired, Jeremy and Madeline appeared before her.Shirley looked at the approaching husband and wife, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.“I didn’t think that you'd come.” Shirley’s eyes were filled with gratitude, as well as regret.“Enough with this prattle. Why have you called for us?” Madeline asked bluntly.“Carter’s going to take me back to St. Piaf in an hour. I don’t want to have any further contact with him, so I was hoping that you could take me away from here.”Shirley looked pleadingly at Madeline.“I don’t have anyone else in this world anymore, and I don’t have friends. I also know you don’t see me as your friend, but this is my wishful thinking. Please help me this one time, for the sake of Cathy a

    Madeline and Jeremy were about to take Shirley away when suddenly, Camille came through the door to stop them.Madeline knew Camille was not an unreasonable person, so she walked over and politely smiled at Camille.“Madam Gray, you’re a reasonable person. I hope you can respect Shirley’s decision. She doesn’t want to go back to St. Piaf with you.”When Camille heard what Madeline said, she gave an understanding nod.“Don’t worry, Mrs. Whitman. I’m not here to stop you. I’m just here to ask Miss Brown a question.”Miss Brown.Shirley, lying on the stretcher, had mixed feelings when she heard how Camille addressed her.Camille had never addressed her like that.This way of addressing her distanced the two of them, making them strangers.Shirley was still lost in thought when she heard Camille asking, “Miss Brown, are you absolutely sure you don’t want to go back to St. Paif with us? Are you sure that you don’t want to see Carter ever again, and that you don’t want to have anyth

    “If they're yours, they’ll return to you eventually. If they’re not yours, it’ll be useless to force it.”Camille’s statement instantly dimmed the domineering light in Carter’s eyes.“Let her go. We should head back too.”When Carter heard what Camille said, he looked toward the direction Shirley had left, his eyes gradually losing focus.…As per Shirley’s wish, Madeline and Jeremy sent Shirley back to where Adam used to live.It was the house their parents had left for them.After entering the house, they placed Shirley in the room she had used previously.Back then, only three people lived in this house, so it had not been a lively place.However, compared to before, this house felt abnormally cold and cheerless to Shirley.Madeline thought that Shirley, in her current state, should have someone taking care of her, but Shirley refused Madeline’s kindness.She did not want anyone taking care of her. She wanted to let her life run its natural course for the rest of her wret

    After moving the pillow away, Carter realized that it was a notebook.It was undoubtedly Shirley’s notebook; he could recognize her handwriting at a glance.Carter opened it for a look, realizing that this could be considered Shirley’s diary.However, the content inside depicted how she started developing the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69. She had recorded her experimental data every day. From this, he could tell that Shirley had been meticulous in developing the anti-toxoid test reagent.She would record every small detail carefully so that she could work toward obtaining the perfect data.Carter patiently read through every page. When he arrived at the last page, it was the day the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP69 was completed…Carter saw that Shirley had written at the bottom of the data. After reading those words, his eyes turned red immediately, his grip on the notebook tightened, and a dark, fiery hatred blazed in his eyes.He slammed shut the notebook and walked o

    With great effort, Shirley lifted her hand and grabbed the nail clipper on the nightstand.‘Addy, mom, dad, Cathy, and my unborn child, I’m coming to repent my sins. Please wait for me…’Shirley thought in her heart and placed the nail clipper on her wrist. She closed her eyes and made up her mind to die.However, when she was about to move the nail clipper across her wrist, the door of the room was pushed open.Shirley opened her eyes, and through her dazed and tearful eyes, she saw Carter’s gloomy and icy face.When she looked at the approaching Carter, Shirley tightened her grip around the nail; her eyes shone with annoyance and repulsion.“Carter, why do you keep haunting me?” A look of disgust appeared on Shirley’s face.The more she had loved Carter back then, the more she hated him now.Carter, with a cold expression, walked toward the side of the bed.Carter towered over her and like a monarch overlooking his land, he peered at Shirley from above.“Shirley, I have a w

    Carter’s deep eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous aura.Shirley’s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps she had already intended to die, she was neither scared nor fearful.“Carter, I will bear the consequences of the path I chose. Please stop interfering with my life.”“You killed my child and you’re asking me not to interfere with your life? Shirley, I’m telling you right now that I’m going to show you how wrong your decision was.”Carter spoke, his words held a deeper meaning, and he slowly released his hand.“Carter, what are you trying to do? I told you I won’t go back to St. Piaf with you. Stop pushing me,” Shirley thoroughly refused.The corner of Carter’s lips curled into a knowing, sinister smile. “You’ll know what I am going to do soon enough.”“...”Shirley moved her lips, but she did not know what else she could say. However, she saw an intense hatred blazing in Carter’s eyes.Hatred?Did he hate her for lying to him, for betraying him, or did he hate her for wanting to

    How mature a child was to be able to convey such unease?Madeline’s heart ached as she kissed the little boy’s cheek.“Jack, I promise you that I’ll tell you wherever I go next time. I won’t make you worry about me anymore, okay?”Jackson nodded and blinked his beautiful wide eyes.“Mommy, I know adults have a lot of things to do. I know. I will be a good and thoughtful boy so that I won’t cause trouble for Mommy and Daddy.”Madeline was further saddened when she heard this. Seeing the childish and handsome small face before her made her feel a pang in her heart.“Jack, I don’t want you to be so thoughtful. I hope you can be carefree and happy like your peers.”“I am happy.” Jackson smiled innocently. “Now that we have Juan and Jan, I am very happy, but I miss Lily.”Half of Jackson’s smile disappeared.Of course, he was talking about his little sister.Madeline caressed his little head and said to comfort him, “She’s sick, and she’s receiving treatment in the hospital.

    Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w

    Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've

    Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in

    After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we

    “I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s

    Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It

    Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an

    “I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so

    The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
