Chapter 2080

“At the time, he came into my life like a beam of light, illuminating my bleak future. After that, I rediscovered myself and my confidence.“

Shirley recounted with a faint smile on her face, but the smile was quickly dissipated in the moonlight.

Her eyes gradually lost their light.

“But in the end, he took away my confidence…“

Shirley laughed bitterly at herself, and Madeline knew what she meant.

“I can completely understand your feelings.“

Madeline walked slowly to Shirley’s side, but a very relieved smile appeared on her small face.

“I used to be the same as you. I didn’t have any self- respect and self-love in front of the man I love, but then I found out that loving someone blindly like that is like a moth flying into a fire. It’s asking for humiliation.“

“Unfortunately, I understood it too late.“

Shirley said regretfully, lifting her gaze to look at Madeline.

“Even though you blindly loved Jeremy back then, you’re not the same as me. If you were me, you would’ve stopped Jeremy if he went on the wrong path, but instead of stopping Carter, I was his accomplice. In the end, he went on a road where he couldn’t turn back.“

“He still has a chance to turn back now.“ Madeline raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly. “Shirley, I hope you can help me again.“

“You want me to help you ask Carter about Jeremy’s whereabouts?“

Madeline nodded solemnly. “Jeremy must be trapped somewhere right now. I ‘m really worried.“

Shirley lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then she said, “I ‘m not sure what Carter’s mental state is now. If he thinks that his life is going to be over, maybe he won’t tell me anything. But no matter what, I’ll give it a try.“

Shirley promised. Early the next morning, she went to the hospital where Carter was; Madeline went with her too.

The two shots had hit Carter on his right shoulder and his left leg. Those shots did not hurt his vital organs, so he should not be in a bad condition.

However, the man guarding the door told them that Carter had not woken up yet.

Shirley felt it a little strange. She explained the situation to the guard, but that person did not allow Shirley to enter the room.

Madeline truly had no patience to wait like this, so she kept her emotions under control and explained the situation as calmly as possible.

“I know that it is very important for you to bring Carter back to St. Piaf, but now, only he knows my husband’s whereabouts, and Carter likely locked my husband up in a very dangerous place.“

“So? What about it?“ the man asked rhetorically and indifferently after blankly listening to what Madeline had said.

Madeline was a little frustrated, but she still tried her best to keep her emotions in check. “So, now I have reason to suspect Carter is pretending to be unconscious. He has already woken up, but he just wants to delay time and leave my husband in a dangerous situation! “

“Do you have any evidence to prove that Carter is related to your husband’s disappearance?“ The man was still stubborn.

“I can attest to it,“ Shirley said to help Madeline.

Dismissively, the man lowered his head and glanced at Shirley who was seated in the wheelchair. “Your words are not sufficient as proof.“

“Not sufficient as proof?“ Shirley smiled. “If I hadn’t given you information, could you have arrested Carter so smoothly?“

Upon hearing what Shirley said, the man froze. At that moment, he did not seem to know how to answer this question.

When she saw that the man was in a daze, Madeline stepped forward decisively. She immediately pushed open the door to the ward.

“Stop right there! “ the man said hurriedly in response to stop her, but after he went in after Madeline, he was stunned by what was in front of him.

“W—What’s going on? How is this possible?“
