Chapter 1902
Chapter 1902
“The child shouldn’t even have come into my womb. It’s better for the child to have left parents like us.”
Carter had been suppressing the anger in his heart, but when he heard Shirley saying that, his fist clenched tightly.
Although he was livid, he still unclenched his fist eventually, forcefully suppressing the blazing anger in his heart.
“Listen to me, Shirley. I’ll make you realize how stupid you’ve been.”
“Carter, don’t make me hate you even more.”
Shirley was calm. Her blank yet icy gaze was fixed on the furious Carter.
“Even if you used some illegitimate means to get the right to rule St. Piaf, it won’t be honorable.”
“Heh.” Carter laughed mockingly when he heard what Shirley said. “You’ve certainly been ‘reborn’, Shirley.”
Shirley turned her gaze away from him upon hearing that. “I’ve already seen through everything. I hope you’ll come to your senses soon.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Listen, Shirley. I won’t. You sacrificed my child for Jeremy and Eveline. You don’t even care that you’re the mother, but I do. Just you wait.”
Carter spat out the last sentence through his gritted teeth and turned around suddenly.
Shirley felt that something was wrong with that statement, but she no longer knew what she could say to stop him.
Soon after Carter walked out of the room, two maids came in to wash her up and feed her the porridge.
Shirley had resisted, but when she thought about what Carter might do to Jeremy and Madeline, she suddenly felt that she could not die now.
Not only did she want to prevent any mishaps from happening, but she also wanted to stop Carter from making more mistakes.
She still remembered the boy who had saved her from the streets back then. He had been so warm, not as icy as he was now. Not devoid of warmth or humanity.
Even though Madeline did not take Carter’s warning and threats to her seriously, when she thought about it, she felt that she needed to take precautions.
Of course, Jeremy was prepared as well.
Carter had already been targeting Jeremy. Now that Carter’s child was miscarried, he despised Jeremy and Madeline.
While Carter was a noble and prestigious viscount on the surface, his shrewdness did not match his gentle and elegant exterior.
Madeline started to take Jackson to school every day. When they got home, she would stay with her children most of the time and take care of Cathy’s children. She was almost inseparable from the children.
As for Lillian, Fabian would send them videos every day. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would agree to a video call so that Jeremy and Madeline could see Lillian’s condition in real-time.
However, Fabian still did not agree to let Jeremy and Madeline take Lillian back.
Jeremy and Madeline could only let it be, though that was because they could see Lillian’s condition improving.
Perhaps the reason Fabian was so firm with his decision was that he hoped Lilian could get the best treatment with him.
Jeremy had not managed the affairs of his company for a very long time. Presently, Madeline’s body had slowly gone back to normal.
Furthermore, the poison remaining in his body was slowly disappearing. Now that everything had returned to normal, he could also focus on his work again.
On Monday morning, Jeremy hosted a meeting as usual. When it ended, he still texted Madeline at the first chance he had.
After he sent the message, Madeline did not reply immediately, and this disappointed him.
However, when he thought about it, he felt that he was a little childish.
Nevertheless, he still could not stop himself from missing her. He then decided to call Madeline.
When he dialed her number, his assistant, Ken, approached him hastily.
