Everyone held him in contempt simply because of his cold.
Anyway, he ended up eating alone in the living room for the sake of the kids.
When he turned around, he heard Old Madam Lyons grumble, “He’s already so weak even though he’s young. Aunty Yasmine, prepare some pomegranate juice for him tonight.”
Shaun nearly choked on the porridge that he was about to swallow.
Now that he had caught a cold, he thought it was not a good idea for him to drink pomegranate juice.
Also, why pomegranate juice? He somehow felt that his grandmother had misunderstood him.
Cate was utterly embarrassed, but all she could do was act calm.
Unexpectedly, Suzie chimed in, “Great-grandma, I want to drink it too.”
“That isn’t meant for kids, ” Old Madam Lyons said, ” It’s for adults to improve their health.”
“Oh, I didn’t know scummy dad is so weak.” Suzie despised Shaun as well.
When Cate finally finished her breakfast, she bid goodbye to the kids and left at once.
Since she did not drive here, Shaun sent her home.
When the car drove off, she saw the two darling kids standing still. Suzie even pouted and teared up.
Her heart clenched with pain all of a sudden.
If it were not for Wesley, the kids would not be hiding here without attending kindergarten.
If it were not for Wesley, Cate would not have placed her kids here and neglected them.
For the first time, she hated Wesley so much.
She also hated herself to the core, wondering why she ever met him and got involved with him.
Was it because she had done something evil in her last life?
“Cate, you can always come and visit the kids whenever you miss them.” Shaun spotted the sorrowful look in the depths of her eyes. “You can move in as well. My family will always welcome you.”
Cate shot a distressed look at him. “Of course, you’d wish I’d move in so that you could pester me every night.”
“Cate, I just want the four of us to stay together. What’s more, the kids really miss you.” Shaun shrugged, looking innocent. “I understand your feelings. You’re more inclined to come over if I’m the only one staying with the kids. But I need to work during the day, and the kids feel bored at home. With the company of my grandparents, both my grandparents and the kids will be happier.”
“I didn’t even complain about it…” Cate lowered her head.
Shaun’s eyes flashed with a hint of gentleness. He wore a mask for the rest of the journey. He occasionally coughed while he spoke.
.
When Shaun’s car arrived at Hudson’s parking lot, Cate unfastened the seat belt to get out.
“Wait a minute…” Shaun suddenly handed her a file. “I asked Chester to investigate the hospital in Melbourne where Wesley went for treatment after he got stabbed when he saved you three years ago. It turns out that he bribed the medical staff who was in charge of treating him in the emergency room. He asked them to lie to you.”
Cate took over the file in a daze. “What… did they lie to me about?”
“They lied to you saying that Wesley’s kidney was hurt and had to be removed.” Shaun stared intently at her. “In truth, his kidney wasn’t injured because he wasn’t even stabbed in the kidney at that time.
He deliberately lied to you to make you guilty and sympathize with him.”
Cate went silent, her lashes fluttering. The news did not come as a big shock.
Now that Wesley’s true colors had been exposed, more of his disgusting deeds had yet to be revealed.
In fact, she should have anticipated this earlier.
A person did not become bad in one or two days.
She could not have possibly been the one who made him a cruel pervert.
It was simply in his nature to be despicable.
However, he had been hiding his true colors too well since she met him.
“The file contains the CT scan from when he underwent surgery after the incident three years ago. He still has two kidneys. There are also records showing that he transferred money to those medical staff. Even after coming to Canberra, he would go to the hospital every month for a regular medical check-up to avoid getting suspected by you. He has also bribed the doctor who performs the check-ups on him. The medication he usually takes for his kidney is fake. There’s a record of his check-up half a year ago inside.”
“You did such a thorough investigation, huh?” Cate was astonished.
“Yeah. Any ordinary person won’t be able to find out about it, considering that Wesley’s company deals with pharmaceuticals. It’s all too easy for him to bribe people because a lot of medical staff are too afraid to offend him. Even so, the Jewell family occupies half of the medical industry. As long as Chester is the one investigating it, there won’t be any issues.”
Shaun continued, “Although you have evidence of Wesley cheating on you, I suspect he’ll bring up losing a kidney because of you. In that case, he’ll have an edge over you.”
“Help me thank Chester,” Cate lifted her head and said gratefully.
“Just Chester?” Shaun raised his brows and approached her enthusiastically. “Aren’t you supposed to thank me? If it weren’t for me, Chester wouldn’t have helped you.”
” So how do you want me to thank you?” Cate stared at the lower half of his face that was covered with the mask.
“You may… Ahem, ahem.” Before Shaun could finish his sentence, he began coughing uncontrollably until his chest was sore.
Cate rolled her eyes. “Are you still not going to behave yourself now that you have a cold?”
Shaun was extremely gloomy. Initially, he wanted to jump at the opportunity to ask for a kiss, yet he did not expect himself to catch a cold. Nevertheless, he did not want her to be infected. “Cate, can you kiss me after I recover from my cold then?”
“When did I agree to give you a kiss to thank you for your help?” A perplexed look washed over Cate’s face.
“… But all I want is a kiss, ” Shaun added shamelessly.
Cate asked. She suddenly approached him and touched his Adam’s apple flirtatiously.
Shaun’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, while his burning eyes were fixed on her beautiful face. ” Cate, don’t do this…”
“You can’t even handle this, huh?” Cate laughed like a sly fox. “Since you had the thought of helping me, you shouldn’t be expecting me to return the favor, much less give you a kiss. If you want a kiss, you can press your upper and lower lips together. There’s your kiss.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that his face had darkened. That was when she turned around and left with a smile.
Shaun just watched as the seductive vixen swaggered off.
He forcefully tugged on his tie. After that, he gave Chester a call in annoyance. “Have you contacted the andrologist that you said you had booked for me? I want to see him and have my illness cured as soon as possible.”
“Why do you want to get it cured so soon?” Chester said lazily, “It’s not as if you can do it once you recover.”
“Who says I can’t do it?” Shaun was dissatisfied. ” Perhaps I can already do it tomorrow.”
“Ha! My guess is that it’s only possible after one and a half years, at least, ” Chester responded firmly.
Chester continued to mock Shaun, “You should be grateful that I didn’t say you can never do it again. “
“Shut up.” Shaun could no longer put up with him.
“Fine. Rodney asked me out tonight and I’ve agreed to meet him. Do you want to come along? Are you really not planning to see him anymore?” Chester suggested.
“I don’t want to hear that d*ckhead speak,” Shaun said indifferently, “I’m afraid I’ll beat him to death.”
“Rodney is quite pathetic now. Since getting kicked out of the Snow family, his fair-weather friends rarely talk to him now. I wonder what has been keeping Sarah occupied every day, making him come to my place so often…” Chester could not help but sigh.
“Without the Snow family’s glory, do you think Sarah will continue her relationship with him? She doesn’t even care about the poor Osher Corporation. This woman is greedy. Just wait and see. She might’ve already cuckolded Rodney a few times.” Shaun looked sarcastic.
“That’s not a bad thing. At least he’ll see her true colors, and the three of us can make peace again.” Chester said jokingly, “You used to behave like Rodney, right? Just like you, he’ll see through Sarah sooner or later. Don’t keep blaming him. You went through this yourself, but you’re calling him a d* ckhead when he’s following in your footsteps.”
“Well, I used to be a d*ckhead too. But that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize him, right? Anyway, I won’t talk to him if he’s still involved with Sarah.”
Shaun hung up mercilessly as soon as he finished his sentence.
