Cate sneered. “No way. I’m sure he has a chauffeur. He must be trying to win my sympathy.”
“True…” Mireya nodded and pressed on the accelerator. After traveling ten meters, Cate stopped her.
“Hang on…”
“What’s wrong?” Mireya sped up significantly.
“Hit the brakes, ” Cate reminded her speechlessly.
The corners of Mireya’s mouth twitched before she slammed on the brakes.
Cate let out a light cough. “I noticed just now that his arms are quite badly injured. Let’s send him to the hospital. After all, he got injured during your banquet. If anything happens to him, it’s going to harm your reputation.”
Mireya really felt an urge to ask Cate to reflect on her behavior that contrasted with her words. Just a second ago, she claimed that Shaun was trying to win her sympathy. Yet now, she was left with eggs on her face.
“Why are you looking at me? Well, we’re kind- hearted people. ” Cate blinked. “Ask him to hop in, but don’t let him know that I told you to stop.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
She lowered the window and looked back through the rear-view mirror. The tall and sturdy figure was wearing a white shirt, and when the night breeze blew, his shirt stuck out. Even without a clear look a t his face, his long model-like legs and his figure would make any woman’s heart melt.
However, Shaun walked past Mireya’s sports car and continued to walk forward without looking in.
Mireya honked and stopped the car in front of him. ” Hop in. We’ll send you to the hospital.”
When Shaun heard a familiar voice, he looked back. Only then did he see Mireya and Cate, who was seated in the passenger seat.
Nevertheless, Cate’s head was lowered as she played a game on her phone. She looked very engrossed in it, as if she was not concerned as to who Mireya was speaking to.
Cate’s behavior made Mireya feel like rolling her eyes.
What the f*ck. Mireya had known Cate for ten years, but this was her first time seeing Cate act so well. Cate could not even stop looking behind just a minute ago.
“Okay.”
Shaun chuckled. After that, he pulled the door open and got into the car.
Mireya started the car. With Cate and Shaun quiet in the car, the eerie silence made Mireya feel so uncomfortable that she could not help but start a topic. “Why were you walking alone on the road? Where’s your chauffeur?”
“I couldn’t find him.” Shaun explained softly, ” Before I crawled out of the shaft, my phone fell and broke, so I have no way of contacting anyone.”
“Use my phone to call your family, then. I’ll send you to a nearby hospital. You can ask your family to pick you up there.” As Mireya was speaking, she observed Cate, who was still engrossed in her game.
“It’s fine. Just drop me off there. I’m on bad terms with my family. The ones I get along well with are either too old or too young, or she has married someone else…”
Shaun spoke in a helpless and melancholic tone.
Cate, who was in the middle of her game, was speechless.
Since when did she get along well with him?
Not knowing what to say, Mireya decided to remain silent.
20 minutes later, she finally dropped Shaun off at the hospital.
After opening the door, Shaun got out and turned around. His handsome face revealed a pitiful look under the wan streetlights. “Can you lend me some money? My wallet fell in the shaft as well, so I can’t pay to see the doctor. It happens that Chester isn’t around. He has gone out of town to attend a conference.”
This time, Cate could not resist asking, ” Shaun Lyons, are you treating us like fools?”
“I’m not lying. The Snow family has invited the Jewell family tonight, but Chester isn’t in Canberra, ” Shaun explained with an innocent expression.
Mireya could prove this too. “It’s true that Chester isn’t in Canberra.”
Shaun immediately continued, “Although I’m not as powerful as I was before, I will not owe you guys m y medical fees. If you don’t believe me, you can frisk me.”
Cate was at a loss for words. Seeing his pathetic expression reminded her of how Suzie practiced sad fishing. When had Shaun learned to practice sad fishing as well?
The father and daughter were two of a kind.
“Mireya, do you have money? Lend him some and send him away, ” Cate said in disgust.
“Please. Who would carry cash with them in this day and age? Everything is by mobile payment.”
Mireya sighed and said, “Why don’ t you stay here and settle the medical fees for him? After all, he was injured during my banquet. If anything happens to him, it’ll harm my reputation.”
Cate did not know what to say to that oddly familiar sentence. In fact, she had said that to Mireya not long ago. Yet now, Mireya was saying the same words back to her.
Shaun gazed at Cate eagerly outside the window. His eyes were as black as obsidian.
Cate sighed weakly as she opened the door and got out of the car. Then, she glowered at Shaun resentfully. “Let’s go.”
“Thanks. ” Shaun followed behind her obediently. He looked exactly like a little puppy.
Cate could not help but dart him a glance. ” Shaun Lyons, have you no shame? What happened to your intolerably arrogant president look?”
“When I’m with the person I love, I can be shameless. I can also be humble and submissive, ” Shaun responded confidently and shamelessly.
He had previously used his phone to search for various ways and tips to win his ex-wife back. From the final results, he learned that he had to pester her shamelessly.
Cate was speechless. “I think you injured your brain in the elevator rather than your arms.”
“Yeah, I injured my brain. That’s why it’s currently filled with your voice and face. Tell me how my brain can be cured.”
Shaun raised his brows. His words were extremely cheesy.
Shaun’s words made Cate feel deeply powerless.
It reminded her of Shaun uttering all kinds of pickup lines when she met him for the first time. Later, she lashed out at him and wondered if he was mentally ill.
At that time, she felt that he was a dumb*ss for not knowing how to flirt with such a beauty.
Now, she seemed to understand his feelings then.
Once Shaun entered the emergency department, he had to fill in his name and phone number on the form to complete the registration.
He directly raised his injured right arm. “I can’t write.”
As such, Cate had no choice but to help him fill out the form and register for an appointment.
Shaun walked with her all the way. He had to take a n X-ray before finally needing some sodium chloride IV infusion to reduce inflammation.
After the nurse set up the infusion for him, he glanced at the time. It was almost 12:00 a.m. As much as he wanted to spend more time with Cate, he did not want her to tire herself out. ” Lend me your phone for a while. I want to give Hadley a call.”
Assuming that Shaun wanted Hadley to come over to look after him, she passed him the phone.
Unexpectedly, he called Hadley and said, “I’m in the hospital. Come here and send Cate home.”
Cate frowned. After Shaun ended the call, she said, “I don’t need Hadley to send me home. I can take a taxi.”
“No. It’s not safe for a pretty young lady like you to take a taxi home at such a late hour.” Shaun shook his head. “Give me the receipt. I’ll return you the money tomorrow.”
Cate glanced sideways at him.
Given that the beds were full tonight, he had no alternative but to have IV infusion seated on the chair, alone in the lifeless infusion room. The atmosphere of this messy environment did not match his elegant and noble temperament at all, and it made him look rather miserable.
She closed her eyes, telling herself that she should not soften her attitude toward him. “You don’t need to return it. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re trying to seize the opportunity to stay in touch with me.”
After his attempt was seen through, Shaun smiled wryly. “Since you don’t need me to return it, that’s fine. What’s mine is yours anyway. I understand.”
“Whose things are yours?” Cate was frustrated by his shameless behavior. “I just don’t want to leave any chance for you to approach me.”
“I know. You take pity on me because I’m not as rich as before. You’re trying to help me save money.” Shaun’s mesmerizing eyes were filled with tender affection.
