Ada's mother would not have realized that this filthy, unkempt woman before her was Ada if she had not taken a closer look at her! If Madeline had not seen it for herself, she would not have known that Carter was truly a man who would be willing to do anything. Ada flinched in panic at her mother's feet, pulling at the legs of her mother's trousers. "Mom, please take me home. I want to go home! I don't want to be a Viscountess anymore. I just want to be treated as a human being now!" Ada gasped as she begged her mother. Cautiously, she lifted her eyes to look at Carter.Ada shuddered once again when she met his dark gaze. Ada's mother remained stunned for a while before she regained her senses and bent down to help Ada up. She pushed Ada's messy and dirty hair out aside and took a long look at Ada's face, which had not been washed in days. Once again, she was dumbstruck."Ada, what happened to you..." she asked. She then abruptly raised her head and glared at Carter quest

Ada's mother had not expected Ada to betray her at such a critical moment!Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the woman in front of her shouting at her. "This was all your idea! You told me to simply burn Adam to death. You told me that once he was dead, Shirley would never recover! This might anger her so much that the baby in her womb may not survive as well!""..."In lashing all her anger out at her mother, Ada had revealed how Ada had been instructed by her to commit the crime."What? So you were the one who instigated her to do this? You two are amazing. Both mother and daughter!" Camille was shocked by what Ada had said.Ada's mother immediately turned green in the face. She feared that the police would arrest her as well, but she was more afraid that Carter would torture her because of this.Carter, however, did not make any move despite the rage burning in his eyes.While he may be a malicious person, he would never expose that side of himself in front of

Carter was about to speak with Jeremy when he heard the sudden scream from the maid upstairs.Just as he turned around, he also heard a loud crash coming from the stairs as if something heavy was rolling down the stairs.When he lifted his eyes to look closer, he saw that it was Shirley who was falling down the stairs with her wheelchair, and he was stunned.“Shirley!” Panicking, Carter rushed over to Shirley who had tumbled down the stairs.Camille hurried over as well.Madeline and Jeremy were surprised too. Despite all of the despicable acts Shirley had committed, they did not look coldly from the sidelines.The maid on the first floor stood as still as a statue as she watched Shirley fell the whole way down the stairs. Carter had repeatedly told her to properly watch over Shirley, but now that Shirley had fallen down the stairs along with her wheelchair, the maid was worried that she, too, would soon suffer.Shirley fell the entire way down to the ground floor. When she lo

From the anxiety in Carter's tone and statement, Madeline could hear how much he wished Shirley and the child in Shirley's stomach to be fine. However, what he got was the doctor’s remorseful shake of his head.“What’s your relation to the patient?” the doctor asked him.Carter seemed to be stunned by the question.Who was Shirley to him?Was he her husband?No.However, she was pregnant with his child.Her sweetheart?Not even that.He had never given her any promise as sweethearts would.The relationship between them could no longer be described in simple words.The doctor thought it odd when he saw Carter not speaking for a long time. And then Carter finally spoke.“I am her... lover.”‘Is that right?‘She should still love me, right?’Carter thought, comforting himself. When the doctor heard this, he interpreted this as them being husband and wife.“Sir, I’m sorry to tell you that the child in your wife’s womb was already gone while you were on the way here.”Car

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
