Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1681

Jeremy’s promise suddenly imbued Felipe’s life in prison with meaning.

If there was truly anything or anyone that Felipe could not bear to part with, it would be Cathy.

If he could be granted any other unlikely wishes, it would be that he could see the two children again.

The children.

The thought of them kindled an extremely warm feeling within Felipe.

When he was the love of Cathy’s life, not only had he ignored her, but he had also killed those two children with his own hands.

He knew he would never be able to make it up to Cathy any more, but he certainly had not expected that she would be pregnant with his baby when the accident occurred.

This was God’s gift. Yes, this was God’s gift to him.

Now, he hoped that Jeremy could arrange for this day to come as soon as possible.

After they had left, Madeline went to stay with Adam. A few days passed, and the poison in her body did not flare up. Nevertheless, she did not forget how excruciatingly painful it had been when the poison had flared up.

As she sat in front of the window sill, basking in the rare, warm winter sun, her attention was focused on the small tube of anti-toxoid test reagent lying in her palm.

When she reflected on the relationship between Carter and Shirley, Madeline finally figured out exactly when she had been poisoned.

It was that night when Carter had so willingly agreed to cancel the marriage agreement. There must have been something amiss with the glass of red wine he had poured for her.

Since Carter would certainly have known about her keen sense of smell, the poison must have been colorless and tasteless. This would explain why she had not detected anything when she drank it.

They truly had planned this out far in advance, and had set their plot in motion ages ago.

Madeline clenched her fists. From the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching.

“She truly did take good care of me when I was young. She was a good sister.” Adam’s very gentle voice drifted to her ears.

Madeline lifted her eyes and saw Adam approaching her, a smile on his face.

“You mean your sister Shirley?” She asked.

“Yes.” Adam nodded. From the smile on his face, one could tell that he was thinking of something pleasant. “When I was young and heedless, I did a lot of ignorant and rebellious things. Every time something went wrong, she would always stand up for me.”

As he said that, his eyes filled with the scenes from his memories.

“I still remember the time in fifth grade when I had skipped class to catch frogs at a pond with a few of my classmates and she happened to spot us. Just as she was about to take me back to school, my parents, who were on their way home from work, caught sight of us.

“To save me from getting scolded, she said that she was the one who encouraged me to skip class. Even after my parents had punished her by making her copy out a 70,000-word medical book, she still came and comforted me, telling me that everything was fine.”

As Adam spoke, his eyes started welling up with tears.

“She was a good sister in the past, don’t you think?” Adam asked Madeline. Since the present-day Shirley had given him a different impression, he wanted to hear other people’s affirmations of Shirley.

Madeline slowly stood up. “Perhaps she used to be a good sister. However, ever since she ran away from home and left this family, I don’t think she’s the sister you knew anymore.”

“I’m sorry,” Adam said remorsefully. “I finally understand what kind of person could develop this sort of poison. If it was Shirley, it’s no surprise at all. She’s always been very accomplished in this aspect since she was young.”

“However, she’s using her talents and gifts in ways she shouldn’t.” Madeline could not help but sigh. “It truly astounds me. The sister hurts others while the younger brother saves them.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Adam, you didn’t do anything to wrong me, so there’s no need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I’m truly grateful to you.” Madeline conveyed her sincere gratitude. “Without you, I won’t be here today, and my son would’ve died long ago.”

“Saving others is a doctor’s mission. It is also my only conviction and aspiration ever since I’ve matured in thought.”

“You’re a very good person, Dr. Adam.” Madeline lauded him sincerely. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her temple throbbing uncomfortably.

Adam was very observant. He immediately noticed something was wrong with Madeline. “Are you feeling unwell?”

Madeline did not bother putting up a tough front. “My head is hurting a little…” she said. She wanted to head to the bedroom to sit and rest briefly, but as she lifted her gaze, everything in her vision seemed to be spinning.

Adam hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Madeline’s arm. “Are you feeling dizzy?”

“I think the poison’s flaring up. I was perfectly fine right before this, so it shouldn’t be possible that I’d suddenly get dizzy,” Madeline said, guessing.

However, this was insufficient for Adam to make a judgment call. There was only one test tube. Madeline’s current symptoms were completely different from the symptoms she first experienced. If he made a mistake, then Madeline would suffer.

As Adam struggled with this dilemma, Madeline’s phone rang.

It was an unknown number. Adam answered for Madeline, and the voice that came from the other end of the line surprised Adam.

“Eveline, it should be time for your second flare-up.” Shirley’s tone sounded extremely confident. She chuckled. “This experience should feel a tad better than one before, doesn’t it? While it can be a little uncomfortable, my control was on point, so no matter how uncomfortable you feel, your life will not be in danger.”

While listening to Shirley’s inhumane words, Adam’s heart suddenly trembled.

“Do you even know what you’re talking about?” Adam could not help but roar out in rage.

Shirley was stunned. She did not expect Adam to be the one answering the phone.

“You’d use your talents, and the gifts you’d inherited from our parents, to commit this kind of utterly heartless act. Shirley Brown, do you not feel any guilt?”

Shirley was a little lost when Adam yelled at her, but when she heard this, she suddenly sneered.

“Guilt? Ask the two dead persons whether they feel any guilt?” Shirley asked in a cold voice. Then, she followed up with a harsh warning, “I’m telling you, Adam, you better not interfere any further. Otherwise, I won’t show mercy, even if we are siblings!’

“Shirley, what do you want…”

Beep.

Before Adam could finish speaking, Shirley hung up.

Adam dared not be distracted or wasting time. He immediately injected the tube of test reagent that Madeline held in her hand into her vein.

Jeremy, who happened to be back, saw the scene unfolded as he reached his bedroom door. His expression changed as he quickly ran to Madeline’s side, holding Madeline, who was now slowly losing consciousness, in his arms.

“Linnie, Linnie!” Jeremy yelled a few times, but there was no response from Madeline. He cast an anxious look at a dazed Adam. “Adam, what happened to Linnie? Why did she pass out?”

“It’s another flare-up,” Adam answered Jeremy’s question, quickly returning to his senses, and suddenly feeling the unusual heaviness of the syringe in his hand.

“She should just be asleep for a while. She’ll be fine when she wakes up. However, based on my many years of experience, Eveline’s condition might be…”

Jeremy’s heart skipped a beat at Adam’s sudden pause, but he quickly calmed down.

“Linnie and I have been through a lot together, so there is nothing I can’t handle. Tell me what’s going to happen next, Adam.”

“I’ve just talked to Shirley,” Adam said. “Judging from what she had said, and the symptoms of Eveline’s flare-up, the symptoms may differ each time she experiences a flare-up. Furthermore, it might worsen each time.”

It might worsen each time.

Those words felt like heavy rocks crashing down on Jeremy’s heart. His eyebrows tightly knitted together as he looked at Madeline, who had now fallen asleep…

Madeline slept for the entire afternoon. When she woke, she saw Jeremy staring at her with a gentle gaze.

She had always been aware of the circumstances right before she fell asleep. Before Jeremy could speak, Madeline spoke instead, comforting him. “Jeremy, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

After hearing Madeline’s comforting words, Jeremy felt even more distressed.

He sat on the bed and raised his hand, softly stroking Madeline’s delicate cheeks. “Linnie, sometimes I’d truly hope that you could be coquettish and complain like those ignorant little ladies. I truly don’t want you to be so compassionate. You’re obviously the one who is suffering, yet you’re the one who is comforting me.”

Madeline smiled slightly. “You’re so weird, Mr. Whitman. Most men want their women to be considerate, gentle, and thoughtful, yet you’re the complete opposite. Do you want me to behave like a little lady, acting coyly and without restraint?”

“I hope so. I truly hope so.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hand tightly, holding them in his palms, and kissed them. “Linnie, you are too thoughtful, in the past and the present. That is why I hope you’d be less thoughtful in the future.”

Madeline understood what Jeremy meant by “less thoughtful”. She smiled and nodded. “Okay, I got it. I’ll try to make myself into a ‘less thoughtful’ little lady in the future.”

Jeremy pressed his lips into a smile. He bowed his head close to Madeline, dropping a light kiss on her somewhat pale lips.

“Linnie, I made you suffer again because of me.” He lowered his voice, his words ridden with guilt.

Madeline smiled, shaking her head. “Have you forgotten, Mr. Whitman? We are husband and wife, and the husbands and wives should stick together, through thick and thin.”

Jeremy hugged Madeline, feeling his heart breaking further. “Linnie…”

“Cough.”

Madeline was about to speak, but she could not help but cough slightly.

Jeremy released his arms nervously, and his eyes were filled with worry. “Linnie, are you alright? Is the poison flaring up again?”

“No, don’t worry.” Madeline immediately assured him. “I just feel a slight discomfort in my throat.”

Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze turned more solemn.

He knew neither when Madeline would flare up next nor what her condition would be like. He only knew that before it came, Shirley had to be dealt with.
