Titus’s cold eyes swept over the group of doctors and nurses. “I don’t want to hear your excuses.
There are only two reasons why the medicine didn’t work. One, she overcame the side effects with amazing perseverance, or two, the medicine you injected into her didn’t work.”
The doctor froze and burst into a cold sweat.
The medicine was useful before, so it could not be useless. That left the second possibility.
” Since Prime Minister Snow highly recommends your hospital, I hope you don’t let Nathan and your dean down. I want to know the reason before dawn” tomorrow.”
With that, Titus turned around and left.
Warren hurriedly followed after him. “President Costner, should we ask Prime Minister Nathan to send help to find her?”
“No need. I know where she’ll go.” Titus strode to the car.
Two hours later, the car appeared at the funeral home.
Titus walked into the mourning hall just in time to see Sheryl holding an urn with her back to him. She was still wearing a white hospital gown, and in the late-night, the sight of her made him shudder.
At one side, Sally was crying while wiping her tears. “Why are you here? You’re the cause of her death. If I had known that this would happen… I wouldn’t have allowed Rosabella to acknowledge you. After she found out her identity, she scoured across the world to find her mother. But after she did, she lost her life instead… Rosabella… Your life was so miserable. “
Sheryl clutched the urn tightly as tears of guilt and pain filled her eyes. She still could not accept the fact. “She’s really…”
“I also wish that it was fake, but I personally sent her to be cremated.” Sally sobbed. “Jeffery said he wanted to wait until you came out, so she was frozen until yesterday when Titus forced us and even sent someone to destroy her body. We couldn’t stop him, so we had to cremate her.”
“I sent someone to destroy her body?” Titus’s cold voice suddenly echoed in the memorial hall.
Sally jumped in fright when she saw him and hurriedly hid behind Sheryl. “You… Why are you here?”
Seeing Sally’s frightened expression, Sheryl turned around and looked at Titus’s tall and handsome face without concealing the hatred in her eyes. ” Titus, we’ve been married for 2o years. Why do you want to exterminate my family? It’s fine if you’ve had a change of heart. I can give up my position, but what did Rosabella do wrong? What did my brother and sister-in-law do wrong?”
“It’s… It’s because he wants to take over your assets. ” Sally said boldly, “He locked you up and sued your brother in your name to recover the money you gave to Rosabella, saying that it was your joint asset as husband and wife. Your brother and I aren’t money-minded people, but we just can’t stand how he protects Cate. He has let you down.”
” Shut your mouth. Stop twisting what’s right and wrong.”
Warren rebuked them angrily as he could not bear to listen to it anymore. “You and Jeffery are money- hungry ones, and Rosabella isn’t our Madam’s daughter at all. It’s all a lie fabricated by your family.”
“Drop it. You mean to say Cate is Sheryl’s daughter, don’t you? You guys killed Rosabella and drove Sheryl crazy so Cate can impersonate Sheryl’s biological daughter and legitimately get her inheritance. Titus Costner, why did Sheryl marry such a wicked, scheming man like you?”
Sally snorted. “I really have no idea how Cate has bewitched you guys. What’s so great about her? Just because she’s younger than Sheryl? How unfaithful of you.”
The word ¡®younger’ resembled a needle that pricked Sheryl’s temples all of a sudden.
Even her fragile body began to totter.
“Sherry…” Worried, Titus wanted to hold her up.
“Don’t come near me,” Sheryl glowered at him as if he was filthy. “Seeing you makes me feel like puking.”
Titus was frozen to the spot. Despite having established himself as a masterful figure for years, he was deeply hurt by his wife’s words at this moment.
His azure eyes carried a heavy sense of melancholy.
However, Sheryl felt that he was putting on an act now. “Titus Costner, you locked me up and even caused Rosabella’s death. I’ ll settle the scores with you one by one. As for Rosabella’s spending, it was up to her to acquire or buy anything. I’m the only person who has the right to ask her back for the money. Nobody else can do that, and you’re no exception. Before we got married, we signed a prenuptial agreement, which states that my assets have nothing to do with you. Even if I want to distribute them to my brother, it’s my business.”
Warren was anxious. “Madam, you’re senile…”
“Let’s drop it. You’ll never wake up from your deep sleep,” Titus interrupted him.
“Enough. Stop pretending, ” Sheryl snorted. “The personal vendetta between us will never end. I’ll soon send the divorce papers over to you and divorce you as soon as possible.”
“I won’t divorce you.”
As soon as Titus finished speaking, he darted a menacing glance at Sally before he turned around and walked away.
Only after Titus left did Sally heave a sigh of relief. God knew how frightened she was whenever she faced Titus, especially after she learned that he had beaten Wesley up unscrupulously in the meeting room.
Sheryl rested her startled gaze on the ashes in her hand, which reminded her of the other missing son.
She could not figure out why things had ended up this way after her visit to Australia.
Recently, she had been suffering from dizzy spells but she held on to keep herself from fainting.
She still had a revenge to serve.
“By the way, Sister-in-law, I forgot to ask Titus whether he has any news about Matthew.”
Sally shook her head. “Your brother has gotten his friends to ask around in Melbourne but is still clueless about where Matthew is. We suspect that it has to do with Cate because she was the one who persuaded Matthew to head to Melbourne.
Only Cate would know his whereabouts.”
“Isn’t Titus bothered about it?” Sheryl could not believe it, given that Matthew was Titus’s biological son.
“He doesn’t even buy it. He thinks of Cate as a kind woman,” Sally sighed. “Gosh. Why did I give birth to such a woman? I should’ve strangled her the moment she was born. You don’t know how she used to deny her connections with Jeffery and me. At the onset of Lyons Corporation’s shares to be transferred to us after Rosabella passed, she started approaching us and called us Dad and Mom. It really filled us with disgust.”
“That’s quite disgusting.” Sheryl’s eyes gleamed with rage. She felt the need to kill Cate.
Sheryl was set on putting Cate through absolute hell.
The Lyons family’s manor.
Just as Cate was about to go to bed after bathing the two kids, her phone rang.
She walked to the balcony with her phone. “Uncle Titus, you’re calling me at such a late hour. What’s the matter?”
“Sheryl has escaped, ” Titus’s hoarse voice was heard. “The first place she went to was the funeral parlor. Sally tried to tear us apart by telling her that I killed Rosabella. She even said I locked Sheryl up previously to drive her mad on purpose, instead of treating her illness, but for the purpose of…”
“You don’t have to explain further. I understand everything.” Cate’s expression was somber. It was most likely that Sheryl thought she was having an affair with Titus.
“Don’t get me wrong. She’s not herself. It’s because of the drug…”
Cate forced a smile. Titus was even speaking up for Sheryl at this point. “Uncle Titus, I don’t mind as I haven’t really spent time with her. It’s up to her to behave however she wants. As for you, you need to get over it, given that you’ve been her husband for many years.”
Her words warmed Titus’s heart, and he let out a long sigh. “I never thought our relationship would end up here after her visit to Australia. Now, she totally believes everything Jeffery and Sally said. Besides, she’ll probably turn against us at all costs. I’m worried Lyons Corporation will…”
Cate rubbed her temples. ” Is there really no other way?”
“Sheryl must have contacted the people in Soromon Island. If I lock her up to treat her illness at this point, the Soromon Islanders will definitely get even with the Costners. My status and background are pretty much the same as Sheryl’s. If we have a falling-out, the consequences would be unimaginable, ” Titus said, feeling powerless.
” So all we can do is… Leave her alone?” Cate added, “If she’s not cured, the effects of her condition must be far-reaching…”
” Sheryl can sense that something isn’t right with her body, but I guess she must’ve assumed it was caused by the shot I gave her in the hospital. When she returns to Soromon Island, I’m sure she’ll hire a professional medical team to treat her illness. She can be cured for sure, but now isn’t the time.”
Titus paused for a moment before he added dejectedly, “Even if she’s fully recovered and regained her composure, it’s a fact that I took the initiative to lock her up. Also, for the fact that Rosabella isn’t her daughter has been exposed, she’ll probably still assume that we want to hurt her.”
Cate was startled. It was her first time hearing Titus speak in such despondence.
It seemed that Sheryl had made some hurtful remarks.
“Uncle Titus, at the end of the day, we don’t have any evidence. She won’t believe in whatever we say. Even if I take a DNA test, she’ll think that we fake the result. Perhaps the only person she’ll somewhat trust is her son. It’d be great if we could save Mathew. But after a long investigation, we still don’ t know Matthew’s whereabouts, ” Cate huffed.
When their conversation ended, Cate went to look for Shaun in the bedroom next door.
When she opened the door, she noticed Shaun was shirtless with his key parts wrapped in a towel. The water droplets on his honey-colored chest trickled down his pees until they disappeared in his thin towel…
The sight of him left Cate’s eyes burning.
Although she had seen and touched every part of his, she could not help but tingle with a strange feeling when she looked at this familiar body.
“Are you bathing?”
At the sight of her flushed face, Shaun could not resist making fun of her. Since she had seen his body before, why was she blushing?
