Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Adam, who found this incredulous, stared at Shirley as she handed him a piece of note which contained a handwritten formula.
The handwriting on it was elegant and neat.
“Why? Don’t you believe me?” Shirley asked, her gaze blank, then immediately placed the note on the table.
Adam picked it up and briefly glanced over the contents.
Based on the components and proportions written on the note, Adam noticed that the ones he had
found were largely accurate, except for one ingredient which he had never seen before.
“What’s this?” Adam pointed at a name on the note in confusion.
“It’s the main ingredient of the anti-toxoid test reagent, ” Shirley responded promptly without even looking.
“Where can I find it?”
“St. Piaf. Carter’s laboratory.”
“ I’ve said so from the beginning. There’s no anti- toxoid test reagent at all because Carter’s the only one with access to this
ingredient.”
Shirley calmly looked at Adam, her eyes showing no sign of avoidance.
She had not lied about this. She truly did not possess any anti-toxoid test reagent. She only had the periodic single -use anti-
toxoid test reagents.
“This formula is worthless, then?” Adam’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
“It could work.”
Shirley sounded determined.
“I can get my hands on the ingredient.”
When Adam heard her, he fell silent and speculated in his mind.
“Shirley, don’t be reckless.”

Shirley’s lips curled up slowly as she glanced down at her still-flat abdomen.
“ Since he won’t have a chance to be born into this world, why not maximize his last bit of value while he’s still in my tummy.”
She turned her wheelchair around the moment she finished speaking.
Adam gazed at the back of Shirley’s figure, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, the mobile phone on the table rang. Jeremy was calling, and Adam answered the phone right away.
Jeremy’s anxious voice filled the line.
“Adam, have you gotten any results? Linnie’s still unconscious. There’s nothing more the doctors here can do.”
Adam thought about what Shirley had just said. He pondered for a few seconds before responding.
“Soon. The anti-toxoid test reagent will be available very soon. I’ve gotten the formula.”
“Is this true?”
“Yeah, ” Adam confirmed with a nod, “don’t worry. Eveline will definitely wake up.”
“I’m so relieved to hear,” Jeremy sounded reassured.
Jeremy’s trust made Adam realize the significance o f his mission.
However, Adam was also concerned for Shirley.
He set aside the tasks at hand and got up to find her. After searching around, he found her in the garden.
In the past few days, Shirley had not left her room. She was finally willing to enter the garden.
Shirley was staring at the flowers and plants in the plot with sparkling eyes as Adam approached her. Her hands were gently
placed on her lower abdomen, and she was unconsciously smiling.
She looked completely different from the heartless and wicked person she had been, radiating an inexplicable maternal glow
instead.
Adam knew that, deep down, Shirley yearned to have this child.

He walked up to her and gently inquired, “Have you spoken with Carter?”
Shirley was jolted from her reverie when she heard him. Her hands casually moved away as she glanced over the flowers and
plants before her with an air of indifference.
