Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

After leaving the Stygian Johnson Gang house, Carter snuck into the hospital to buy something to clean his wounds. He then went to the toilet in the mall to disinfect and clean the wounds on his shoulder and leg.

A gunshot wound was not an ordinary wound. This kind of pain was very bothersome even though Carter could stand it.

Worried that the people from St. Piaf would find him, he hid in the toilet carefully the whole time. After that, he only left the mall when it was time to meet Shirley.

The sky was gradually turning dark, and the streetlights lit up promptly.

There were not a lot of people walking around in West Harbor.

Shirley got out of the taxi and thanked the driver, then she maneuvered the wheelchair to move to her destination slowly.

Fabian had proposed to follow Shirley to meet Carter, but in the end, Shirley came alone.

The streetlights shone dimly under the sunset.

Carter stood by the sea. His figure was not that far away, but Shirley felt as if a vast distance lay between them.

When Carter heard movements behind him, he knew who it was.

He turned around slowly and from that short distance, he saw the girl he had brought back from the side of the street during early summer, but she looked completely different now. They changed, and they changed a lot.

"Carter, I'm here as per your request. Can you tell me where Eveline and Jeremy are?"

When Carter heard the first sentence Shirley spoke, his heart sank. However, there was also a self- mocking and sarcastic grin on his face.

"Did you take a risk coming to see me just for the sake of Jeremy and Madeline?"

Shirley's expression was calm and cold as she answered without hesitation, "That's right, I came for them. Did you think that I wanted to see you, otherwise?“

The smile on Carter's lips grew more mocking. He slowly moved his feet and came up to Shirley.

"Even though I had been shot back then and I was very unwell, I still remember how worried you were for me.“

A wave of emotion flashed across Shirley's calm face.

Carter was pleased when he saw the change in Shirley's expression. "I didn't really pass out back then. After weighing the pros and cons, I just thought that it'll be better for them to send me to the hospital." After hearing this, Shirley lifted her eyes and looked at the confident man in front of her with a stunned look on her face.

"I won't let anyone know where Jeremy is, and don't even think about finding out where they are from me. What I can tell you is that they will be seeing our child soon."

Shirley's expression changed abruptly. Reflexively, she wanted to stand, but she could not. "Carter, Carter Gray, what did you do to them? Did you kill them?"

She asked in a panic, but Carter had a nonchalant expression on his face.

"That's right, I killed them."

After getting this answer, Shirley's body went limp. She felt as if all energy had been drained from her body.

"No, how is that possible? You killed them? How can you murder people?" Shirley kept denying it. She did not want this to be real. She did not want Jeremy and Madeline to die. At the same time, she did not want Carter to have blood on his hands.

"It's just murder. It's not like we have never done it before, right?"

Carter asked calmly. Shirley froze, and at that moment, she had nothing to say to that.
