Upon hearing Elle’s anxious voice, Cate’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened to him? Didn’t he go to his uncle’s house tonight?”
“Something happened to him at Second Master Lyons’s house. Please come to the Jewell family’s hospital.” In a state of panic, Elle hung up after giving a brief reply.
“Mommy, what’s wrong with Daddy?” Suzie was so frightened that her face turned ghastly.
Lucas’s cool face looked grave as well. “Mommy, take us with you.”
” It’s too late now. I won’t have the energy to look after you guys later, so you should stay at home. Let me go there and find out what’s going on. If your dad’s condition is serious, I’ll get Hadley to send you both over. Otherwise, you can visit him the next morning.”
Looking at the two little kids, Cate forced herself to calm down.
“Mommy, we…”
“Listen to me.” Cate’s pretty face looked anxious yet stern.
Seeing that, Lucas and Suzie pursed their lips and kept quiet.
Cate promptly started the car and rushed to the hospital. On her way there, she informed Brennan and Lea about the matter.
When she arrived at the hospital, Elle, Spencer, and Yvette were waiting outside the emergency room with somber looks on their faces. As soon as Spencer and Yvette saw Cate, their eyes flashed with unease.
“Elle, what on earth happened?” Cate asked Elle without looking at Spencer and Yvette.
Before Elle answered, Spencer said guiltily, ” Sorry, it’s all our doing. Wesley kidnapped Willie and said he’d kill Willie if we didn’t deceive Shaun into coming to our villa.”
With her lips quivering, Yvette said, “We didn’t mean to hurt him. Wesley said he just wanted to have a chat with Shaun. Besides, he didn’t bring anyone with him, so we have no idea what happened to Shaun. Hey, don’t glare at us. After all, we were dragged into this mess because of you guys. We don’t even know Wesley well. If it hadn’t been for the trouble you guys caused, why would Willie be kidnapped? He’s already a fool. Do you guys want him to lose his life as well?”
“Your son’s life matters, but doesn’t Young Master Lyons’s life matter too?” Elle could not tolerate Yvette’s words.
Cate found Yvette’s remarks nasty as well. Back then, she neither hated nor liked Spencer and Yvette. Her impression of them was at least better than that of Valerie.
However, with these recent happenings, she came to realize that this couple was jealous and selfish.
Shaun had already let them go when the couple sold Lyons Corporation off to their enemy. Yet now that Shaun was in danger, all they wanted to do was shift the blame.
Yvette said with dissatisfaction, “We didn’t expect something to happen to Shaun either. Given his skills, who knew he would fail to deal with Wesley?”
“Shut up.”
Cate’s grim eyes swept over to her.
For some reason, the icy aura that surrounded Cate filled Yvette with dread. When Yvette came to her senses, she shouted in a huff, “Who gives you the right to make me shut up? I’m your elder.”
“But why does an elder like you have no shame at all?” Fury was written all over Cate’s face. ” I’m not in the mood to argue with you. I just want to ask you something. Have you guys called the police regarding this matter? Has Willie returned yet? Where’s Wesley? How did the accident happen to Shaun?”
Yvette was stunned at the questions she was bombarded with.
Spencer then muttered, “Willie is back. When we sent Shaun to the hospital, our housekeeper called me and said Willie came back by himself. After our housekeeper asked him, Willie said someone took him out to play hide and seek. In this case… It’s inappropriate for us to report it to the police since he was only missing for one afternoon.”
Cate understood the situation. All Wesley did was trick Willie with his little game. Considering that Willie was only missing for less than 24 hours, the police would not accept the case. “Wesley must’ve been there at the scene when something happened to Shaun, right?”
Spencer opened his mouth in agony, not knowing how to explain.
Elle said in a low voice, “When the accident happened, Wesley was moon gazing on the top floor. The two of them did not meet each other.”
Cate could go insane at that moment. “So what the hell happened to Shaun?”
Elle forced a smile. “In fact, Young Master Lyons had already guessed that Willie was kidnapped when he headed to Second Master’s house. That was why he had me ambush outside the house with some of our men. He said if I didn’t hear from him within half a n hour, we could barge in. But when we barged in, the lights in the house weren’t on. I found Young Master Lyons lying on the floor unconscious with his forehead covered in blood. That was when I sent him to the hospital. On my way here, I checked his injuries, but none of them were fighting-related. The only part he injured is his forehead, and it’s not very serious.”
Upon hearing it, Cate did not let out a sigh of relief. Instead, she found the incident strange. ” Why weren’t the lights in the house on?”
Elle turned her eyes to Spencer and Yvette.
Spencer responded embarrassedly, “I’m really not sure about it. Wesley asked us to enter the house and closed all the curtains. Since it was just the two of them, I thought it wouldn’t be difficult for Shaun to deal with them.”
“Two of them?”
“Wesley and his female secretary.” Yvette added, ” Cate, please don’t tell our grandparents about it since Shaun is just slightly injured. Tomorrow, we’re going to bring Willie overseas to treat his illness, and we won’t be involved in all your vendettas anymore.”
Deep down, Cate was simmering with anger.
She admitted that the couple had nothing to do with Wesley and were in the mess because of Shaun and her.
Nevertheless, as Shaun’s second uncle and aunt, they were too selfish.
“Take Willie away, then. I don’t want to see you guys anymore. We’ll go our separate ways from now on. Also, don’t contact Shaun anymore, ” Cate said indifferently.
She wished that Shaun would have nothing to do with the two of them. When something good happened, they would approach him. Yet now that he was in trouble, they were the first to run away.
Losing such relatives would not matter.
“You…” Yvette was put off by Cate’s words.
“Fine. Let’s go.” Spencer dragged his wife away. After all, he was the one who dragged Shaun into this incident.
When they were leaving, Cate even heard Yvette’s voice echoing from the corridor. “Shaun only injured his forehead a little. Why is she making a big deal out of it?”
“She has gone too far.” Elle clenched her fists in exasperation.
“Fine. It’s common to have awful relatives.” Cate sighed.
“Don’t worry, Miss Cox. Young Master Lyons will be fine,” Elle consoled her.
“Hopefully.” Despite saying that, Cate was actually feeling anxious.
Wesley had put so much effort into getting Shaun there just to make him fall down the stairs?
“Elle, go to the scene and have a look. Hopefully, you can find some of Wesley’s incriminating evidence, ” Cate said.
“Okay.”
Shortly after Elle left, Lea and Brennan rushed to the hospital.
After hearing the ins and outs of the incident, Brennan could not resist telling Lea off, “Why are the Lyonss so selfish? As Shaun’s uncle, has he no shame? His son’s life matters to him, but other people’s lives don’t, huh?”
His criticism made Lea feel ashamed, but she could not refute it.
At the sight of the scene, Cate said, “Uncle, Aunty, stop quarreling. Let’s wait for Shaun to come out first.”
It did not take long before the door of the emergency room opened.
Chester, who personally took charge of the emergency operation this time, came out of the room. “Don’t worry. I’ve performed a full body checkup for Shaun, including a CT scan of his head. He has only suffered from a mild concussion, and he’s generally fine.”
Only after the crowd heard it did they sigh in relief. Cate asked, “When will he be awake?”
“He should be awake after a few hours.”
After that, Shaun was arranged to stay in a VIP ward.
Cate advised Brennan and Lea to go home to rest, but none of them left. They insisted on waiting for Shaun to wake up.
After waiting for an hour or so in the hospital, Cate’s phone rang. It was a call from Wesley.
As much as she loathed this person, she still answered the call for the sake of Shaun.
“Wesley, I won’t let you get away for hurting Shaun tonight.” Cate’s face looked cold.
“Cate, don’t accuse me. I didn’t even meet Shaun tonight. When he came in, I was talking to Senator Mead over the phone on the top floor. How could I have possibly dealt with Shaun while talking to someone else? Even if you report it to the police, I have the call log in my phone.” Wesley grinned.
“You may not have done it yourself, but it doesn’t mean you didn’t get someone else to do it. Didn’t you enter the house with another female secretary? Also, why did the lights in Spencer’s house go out? You should know better than anyone else.”
” It’s perfectly normal for my secretary to arrange some files for me. But if she were to deal with Shaun, she’d be biting off more than she could chew. With Shaun’s skills, no one could approach him even in the dark. As to why the lights in Spencer’s house went out, you need to find out from Spencer. What a low-quality circuit he used. “
