Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 1945

Not just his friend.

After hearing Shirley's words, Madeline stayed silent for two seconds. She then said doubtfully, "Do you mean.....”

"I had a romantic relationship with him, and I was pregnant with his child, "Shirley said bluntly, boldly looking into Madeline's eyes.

She observed a flash of surprise in Madeline's eyes. She knew that Madeline might not believe what she said, but Shirley continued. "Since I had committed too many sins with him, that was why... there was no way for that child to come into this world."

When she said this, Shirley's eyes turned red against her volition.

Whenever Shirley thought about that child, she would still have a clear and bone-etching pain.

Madeline frowned as she quietly listened and thought.

Her groom-to-be had such a relationship with the woman in front of her.

Madeline thought silently, but she did not feel disappointed at all.

After a while, Madeline spoke. Her voice was feeble, and there was even a smile on her gentle and beautiful face.

"Miss Brown, did you come here just to tell me this?"

Shirley recollected her thoughts after hearing that.

She also chuckled slightly when she saw that Madeline was faintly smiling at her.

"Eveline, do you know? Right now, your consciousness is no longer your own. Your thoughts are currently under Carter's complete control because he has hypnotized you." Shirley looked regretfully and helplessly at Madeline's calm face.

"I actually can give it a try. But I know that you won't believe what I say now."

"Well, you're wrong, " Madeline said and smiled slightly.

Shirley was stunned when she heard this answer. She looked at Madeline in confusion, "What did you say?"

"What I want to say is that I believe you."

"Y-You believe what I said?" Shirley was very surprised. She had never expected that Madeline would believe her.

Was this real?

She was somewhat uncertain, and then she heard Madeline speak again, "You just said you can give it a try. What do you want to try?"

Upon hearing this, Shirley came back to her senses.

She glanced vigilantly behind her. Once she had confirmed that no one was coming, she approached Madeline, raised her eyes to meet Madeline's gaze, and then whispered... Madeline seemed to hesitate after hearing Shirley's words.

Shirley felt a little nervous when she saw Madeline's hesitation.

"Eveline, are you really willing to believe me?"

Madeline looked at Shirley's expectant eyes and said nothing.

Shirley's heart sank. She felt that Madeline was just messing with her.

How could a hypnotized person have her own thoughts?

However, Shirley wanted to try again. She wanted to try to convince Madeline to believe her, but at this moment, Shirley heard the familiar footsteps approaching her from behind. "Carter," Madeline called out softly behind Shirley. Shirley frowned slightly. Carter was indeed here.

As soon as Carter got out of the study, he saw this scene on the balcony. He walked over quickly because he wanted to know what Shirley was saying to Madeline.

He knew that Shirley would keep going against him. Although he had hypnotized Madeline, he did not want anything unexpected to happen.
