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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1711

The final stage.

Jeremy’s heart suddenly sank. He could see Shirley’s face betraying a sly expression as she spoke.

Shirley’s smile widened further upon seeing the worry in Jeremy’s eyes.

“Forget it, I won’t reveal it to you now so that you won’t get worried.”

“Shirley!” Jeremy’s patience was depleted. His deep, narrow eyes glared with a cold edge. “I’m not in the mood to waste time with you. I want the anti-toxoid test reagent. Do you understand?”

“Hiss.” Shirley could not suppress her pain. Her wrist felt like it could break anytime at Jeremy’s mercy.

Her beautiful brows snapped together. She then chuckled softly through gritted teeth, a helpless expression on her face.

“I understand, but you should also understand that I don’t have any extra anti-toxoid test reagent.”

When Jeremy heard this, his eyes emitted a ghastly murderous intent, and his thin lips pressed together. Without another word, he abruptly grabbed Shirley by her neck ruthlessly and dragged her outside.

“Ugh… Cough!”

Shirley had not expected Jeremy to be so menacing.

She immediately lost all control over her breathing. In that instant, she could see Carter’s face turning cold and fierce, as if he would explode at any second.

Just when she had thought Carter would come to her rescue, she saw Adam running over to her with a worried look on his face.

“Jeremy! Release her first! She doesn’t have the anti-toxoid test reagent, but I do. I’ve been experimenting the whole time, and I’ve almost succeeded! Really!’

Adam had deliberately emphasized that to convince Jeremy to temporarily release Shirley, who nearly suffocated.

Jeremy stopped in his tracks. He lowered his eyes and glared at Shirley in disgust before turning back to Adam.

“Do you think this kind of person is worth it? She’s unfit to be your sister.”

“This isn’t a matter of worthiness. I only know that, as a doctor, I have no intention to allow any living being to receive a death threat in my presence.”

Adam answered calmly, the panic on his face from a second ago vanished.

Jeremy peered coldly at Shirley and let out a chilling, sarcastic laugh, then suddenly released his grip.

Shirley fell onto the cold, hard floor with a thud, greedily gasping for air.

Just a moment ago, she truly had thought she would die from suffocation.

She had also thought Carter would rush over to her rescue at that moment, but even now, he merely stood by and watched, indifferent.

She had indeed mistaken that earlier shot as his care for her.

Shirley lifted her gaze and met the man’s condescending eyes. She then laughed at herself. A bitter feeling crept up her throat, and she started coughing. Unable to hold back her embarrassment any further, tears fell from the corners of her eyes as she continued coughing.

“Jeremy, bring me to Eveline. Don’t waste any more time. Hurry!” Adam reminded Jeremy.

Despite the rage that was already burning within Jeremy, Adam’s reminder prevailed. Now no longer interested to continue teaching Shirley a lesson, Jeremy wanted only to immediately return to Madeline and ease her current symptoms.

“Linnie’s in the hospital. Let’s go!” Jeremy said as he took a step out of the door.

Adam and Cathy quickly followed.

Carter watched the three of them leave and frowned.

The bodyguards awaited his orders for pursuit, but Carter gave no orders.

He walked toward Shirley who still laid sideways on the cold, hard floor. His tall and lean body towered over Shirley like an ice sculpture as he peered disdainfully at Shirley.

“Did you do that on purpose? You want to free your brother, don’t you?” Carter asked coldly, the sternness expressed with the corners of his eyes and his eyebrows frightened Shirley.

“I… Cough cough… Why would I let him go?” Shirley answered Carter as she coughed. “He was the reason my parents had neglected me back then, the reason they’d sent me to study abroad. It wasn’t for my future. The fact was that they’d just wanted a better opportunity to nurture their precious son. Hmph!”

Shirley looked toward the direction where Adam had left and chuckled coldly.

“I only want to see just how great their precious, cherished son truly is.”

Shirley said this through gritted teeth.

Nonetheless, tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes. Her fists clenched as the thought of the notebook, containing her father’s handwritten, surfaced in her mind.

Upon hearing Shirley’s words and seeing the tears trickling out of the corners of her eyes, Carter’s eyes darkened.

He suddenly bent down and carried Shirley, who had still been lying on her side on the floor, in a bridal carry.

Shirley did not dare to expect much more. Being in Carter’s arms right now was exactly what she had wanted.

…

The hospital.

It was the middle of the night when Jeremy got back to the hospital room.

Even though Madeline had been injected with some tranquilizer, she was still shivering under the blankets.

Jeremy’s heart ached. There was nothing else he could do for Madeline.

If it was possible, he truly would endure it all in Madeline’s place.

During their departure from Carter’s villa, Adam had been informed of Madeline’s current symptoms by Jeremy.

He had first gone home to retrieve some of his things before following Jeremy to the hospital.

After a cursory examination of Madeline, he had given Madeline an injection with the anti-toxoid test reagent that he had brought with him.

After the injection, Madeline’s heart still ached, and the chills all over her body persisted. Ten minutes later, color finally returned to Madeline’s face.

On the side, Cathy shifted her gaze from the poison-afflicted Madeline to Lillian who had leukemia. The sight distressed her to the point of tears, so she turned and left the room quietly.

Soon after, Jeremy and Adam came out of the room as well.

With a serious look on his face, Adam explained the situation to Jeremy.

“I’ve injected Eveline with an analgesic that I developed. It can’t cure her completely, but it can temporarily help relieve her pain. To eliminate the poison, we’d still need to find out exactly what Shirley used in developing the poison. That’s the only way we can prescribe the right cure for Eveline.”

“That’s not something she’d tell us. She’s in this with Carter, and Carter’s goal is to get to me. Until this goal has been achieved, they’ll only be using Madeline to control me.”

In this regard, Jeremy understood clearly. He finally let go of his strong facade and sat down on the chair in exhaustion.

“Lillian has leukemia, and Linnie is in this state. Further, I’m not fully recovered. I truly don’t know when all of this will end.”

He lamented. For now, he only wanted to release the pressure he had been holding in.

Once this is over, he would still be the husband Madeline needs and the father his children want to depend on.

“It’ll all get better.” Cathy gave him her blessings. “I believe that we reap what we sow. Evie is a good person, so I’m sure she’ll be blessed.”

Jeremy smiled when he heard that. “I agree.”

His smile was quickly replaced with another frown. “Adam, since you’ve heard what Shirley said earlier, do you know what would be the symptoms that Linnie will show when the poison reaches the final stage?”

Adam frowned when he heard Jeremy’s question.

He only spoke after a few moments.

“I can’t be certain what symptoms would appear during the final stage, but I realize that Eveline’s flare-ups have been too frequent, and the intervals in between them were very short. This is unlike what you’d experienced back then.”

Jeremy too frowned in turn. “What does this mean?”

“This means that they want to achieve something in a very short period. Once the poison in Eveline’s body reaches its final stage, they’ll use this to coerce you into trading away something beneficial.”

Jeremy had already understood this.

The thing he wanted to know the most right now was the symptoms Madeline would exhibit.

Overwhelmed with worry, he lifted his hand to massage his forehead, exhaustion creeping out from his heart.

“I’m very sorry,” Adam suddenly apologized.

Confused, Jeremy lifted his gaze. “Why are you apologizing to me?”

“At the end of the day, she’s still my sister,” Adam simply answered.

While Jeremy understood what Adam meant, he only had gratitude and appreciation for Adam.

“You’re you, and Shirley’s Shirley. I won’t place you on the same level as her. Additionally, you’ve been helping us this entire time. If it weren’t for you, I’d be dead, and Linnie, as well as Jack, might not be alive now.”

“I am a doctor. It’s my duty to save others.” Adam repeated the same statement but then sighed in regret. “I truly don’t understand her. I’d already shown her the notebook, so why can’t she understand the trouble our parents had endured back then? Why is she still full of resentment?”

When Cathy saw Adam looking so troubled, she walked to his side and lifted her hand, patting his shoulder.

“Adam, don’t be sad. Perhaps your sister is compelled by her hardship.”

“Heh.” Adam softly laughed at himself. “What hardship could she possibly have? Her hardship is that she’s unhappy with how well our parents had treated me back then, always thinking that our parents had wanted to give up on her.”

Upon hearing Adam’s sarcastic remarks, Cathy was uncertain how to continue comforting him.

“She could be doing this for Carter.” Jeremy voiced his suspicion. “A woman would be willing to do anything for a man.”

While Jeremy was not referring to anyone specific, Cathy could not help but be stunned.
