Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife chapter 1857
When Jeremy heard that, he was surprised yet again.
Similarly, Carter was dumbfounded, and his grip on Shirley’s shoulders loosened. “Shirley, what do you mean by
this? What do you mean?”
Shirley lifted her wet, red eyes and chuckled bitterly.
“I never wanted to give birth to that child in the first place.”
“I lied when I told you that the poison will affect the child’s growth. All I wanted was to get my hands on the
ingredient for the anti-toxoid test reagent for AXP6G.”
“What did you say?” Carter looked at Shirley in disbelief as she said that.
“Now that I’ve already achieved what I wanted, there’s nothing left that I can’t bear to part with anymore.”
The light in Shirley’s eyes darkened slowly. “Something bad happened to Addy and Cathy because of me, and
they’re no longer here now. There’s no longer anyone in this world who truly cares about me or cares for me. I

-toxoid test reagent anymore. I just want to finish the end of my journey in peace.”
Every word Shirley spoke drained her, and when she was done, she pressed the switch on the wheelchair and
moved forward on her own.
The rain did not lighten, and Shirley’s figure in the wheelchair looked abnormally frail.
Carter immediately chased after her, and so did Jeremy.
“Shirley, what did you say? Did something bad happen to Adam and Cathy? What happened to them? Tell me!”
Jeremy questioned anxiously.
When Carter saw that, he went forward to stand between Jeremy and Shirley.
At that moment, Carter, his face and entire body drenched in rain, looked dark and cold. “Jeremy, stay away from
her! ”
Of course, Jeremy ignored Carter. Presently, Jeremy
only wanted to know Adam and Cathy’s situation.
It was just that when he was about to ask for clarification, Carter reached out his hand to stop him.
Jeremy was no pushover. No one could stop him just because they wanted to.
However, Shirley let out a sudden cry of pain.
Carter immediately lowered his head to look over and saw Shirley clutching her heart, her body curling up,
seemingly in debilitating pain.
“Shirley! ”
Cater instinctively called out Shirley’s name in a concerned tone and carried her in a bridal carry, then ran toward a
car that was parked not far away.
Jeremy wanted to chase after them to find out what had happened, but when he saw Shirley being in such a pained
state, he stopped.
He was not worried about Shirley. However, when he thought about her handing the last anti-toxoid test reagent
over for Madeline and her choosing to endure the poison with the child in her womb, he believed that Shirley
wanted to turn over a new leaf.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNonetheless, he could not forgive her. He could not forgive everything Shirley had ever done previously.
Jeremy went back into the house and called everyone he knew to enquire about Adam.
Dr. Adam Brown was fairly well-known in Glendale. However, Jeremy asked everyone he knew and no one knew
anything about Adam’s recent situation.
Jeremy also called the hospital that Adam worked in. The hospital told him that Adam had not been coming into
work for some time, and they did not know why.
No one knew where Adam went or what happened to him.
However, Jeremy suspected that something bad must have happened to Adam and Cathy.
Anxious, he walked back to the bedroom. When he looked at the still-sleeping Madeline, he held her hand gently.
“Linnie, what do you think I should do now?”
Jeremy was sick with worry when he thought about what Shirley had said not long ago. He truly did not want to
think about the worst-case scenario.
He still hoped that it was just an act put up by Shirley and Carter, hoping that Adam and Cathy were safe and
sound.
