“What’s wrong with you?” Cate looked at him puzzledly.
“Chester was sent to the hospital because he drank until his stomach bled last night.” Shaun sighed. “His subordinate called me. Ever since Rodney’s incident, the only person he can confide in is me. Although he treats women badly, he has always treated me, his friend—“
“Alright.” Cate interrupted him. “I’m not interested in the bromance between you two. Why did Chester drink so much?”
Shaun’s gaze was complicated. “Because of Eliza. He said he’s fallen in love with Eliza, but they can never be together. The grudge between the two involves human life. I don’t understand how human life is separating them, though. Cate, are you guys keeping something from me?”
Cate was stunned for a few seconds. She figured everything out in an instant. She muttered, “It looks like Chester already knows.”
“Know what?” Shaun was confused.
“Eliza is my friend. This is her secret. I can’t tell you about it.” Cate sighed while frowning. “However, Chester should be clear about it. It’s true that he and Eliza can never be together.
Their situation is different from ours.”
“What other unforgivable things did Chester do?” Shaun’s brows were knitted together in a tight frown.
Cate circled his neck lightly. “He might not have done some things consciously, but he’s a murderer who indirectly harmed his victim’s important family members. What courage do you think is needed to get back together with him? Even if you risk every thing for love, your conscience won’t be able to accept it.”
“No wonder Chester said he can only gain forgiveness if he dies,” Shaun murmured.
“Death isn’t necessary.” Cate sighed. “They can just keep a distance from each other in the future and act like they don’t know each other. That’s the best outcome. It’s beneficial to everyone.” 1
Shaun frowned. “I’ve never seen Chester in that state. He usually seems cold-blooded, and that’s precisely why I can’t imagine him staying away once he falls in love with someone. That’s unless Eliza doesn’t get married or get a boyfriend her entire life. If Chester happens to see it, he’ll either go crazy or become a demon with his personality if he suppresses himself for a long time.”
A hint of worry flashed across Cate’s eyes. “Eliza is still so young. How can she possibly not get married or have children her whole life?”
“If she wants to have children and get married in the future, it’s best to advise her to go overseas and leave Canberra secretly.”
Shaun sighed. “Don’t let Chester find out or see it.”
Cate was a little angry and annoyed.
Why did Eliza have to hide and keep a secret about getting married or meeting up with friends? 1
However, Cate knew Chester’s character.
How could a person like him understand that the highest form of love was to let go and give his blessing?
10:00 a.m.
Charity received a call from Cate.
“How’s your progress in learning Neeson Corporation’s situation these days?”
“I’m almost done understanding everything.”
Charity said emotionally, “The core employees of Neeson Corporation from the past have all switched companies.We’ll have to boldly push for a revolution in our business if we want to start developing again.”
“I have no clue about sports and exercise, so I didn’t know where to start even though I knew there was a problem with Neeson Corporation.”
Cate smiled and said, “Everyone is a master in their special fields.You have to be the one to do it.”
“No.You’ve helped me out a lot.If it weren’t for you getting an experienced manager to help me manage the company, the core ideas would’ve been sold early on.”Cate paused before diving into the main topic.
“I heard from Shaun that Chester drank till midnight, which caused his stomach to bleed last night.It seems he’s been getting drunk these few days.He hasn’t even gone to the company or hospital.Does he know about your identity?”
After a moment of silence, Charity replied lightly, “Mm, he had doubts from some clues and found out.”
“I thought you were the one who revealed it yourself.”
Cate was surprised.
“He could even suspect this? Tsk tsk, that’s amazing.Mireya and I couldn’t even think of it before.”
“Chester is smart, indeed.”
Charity could not deny it.
Cate started gossiping.
“Oh, was he very shocked? He must’ve been so regretful, right? Whether you’re Charity or Eliza, he looked down on you all along.In the end, he realized that he didn’t know you well enough to assume you were a pretentious, scheming woman.Now, he found out that you’re a queen.”
Charity pondered for a second and said, “He said he loves me.”
“Wow.”
Cate just felt utterly satisfied.She liked seeing scumbags like Chester falling in love the most.
“How do you feel?”
“I don’t have any other emotions.I just feel miserable,” Charity said indifferently.
“He apologized to me, but what is the use of an apology? It’s a fact that I went to jail and my parents are dead.It might’ve been due to the heavens pitying me that I was able to survive in this way.I can choose not to get revenge on him because I still have basic rationality, but I won’t be together with him.”
Cate could understand Charity’s feelings.
If it were her, she would not do it either.
Although Sarah was the perpetrator, who asked Chester to believe in Sarah? 1 It was still understandable in Shaun’s case because his memories were altered, but Chester’s head was fine.He was smarter than Rodney too.
“However, would a person like Chester willingly back off and wish you happiness just because of guilt now that he has realized he loves you?”
Cate said in a serious tone, “Feelings are the most uncontrollable things in the world.After falling in love with someone, people will instinctively want to have that person, especially people like Chester who got to have whatever they wanted since young.It’s not likely that he’ll silently watch over you as you get married and have children with someone else.”
“I don’t intend to get married or have children,” Charity said decisively.
Cate was astonished.
“Charity, you’re still young, and this body of yours is younger than any of ours.A lifetime is too long.Your parents passed away early, and you’re alone now.I truly hope you can have a harmonious family, have a child, and start over.”
To be honest, she felt that Charity no longer had desires for anything.Living people would surely have something they cared about.If not, being alive would be meaningless.Charity was stunned.
After some time, she spoke again.
“How does it feel to have a child?”
“Let me start from after I divorced Shaun.At that time, the parents who raised me weren’t my biological parents.I didn’t have a mother, and my biological father already had a family and children of his own when I found him.I felt like I was an extra.”
Cate said emotionally, “After being tortured until I was half- dead by Shaun and escaping overseas, I really felt that living was meaningless.During holidays and celebrations, I didn’t even have anyone except Mireya to wish me happy holidays until Suzie and Lucas were born.I didn’t like children a lot in the past, but no matter how tough and tiring things get for me, my heart would melt whenever I return home and look at my children while they ask to be spoiled.
“It feels like there’s someone finally related to you in the world, and no one can erase that fact.Children are innocent.They’ ll treat you like you’re their whole world.Then, you’ll realize that your world will start to have colors.”
Charity did not utter a word for some time after listening to Cate.
“Is it really that magical?”
“We should have something we care about while we’re alive, right?”
Cate thought so from the bottom of her heart.
It was nice that Charity was alive.
However, she could sense the abnormality in Charity.
If Charity was like a porcupine covered in thorns before Sarah died, then she had become a robot after Sarah died.
“Hearing you say that, maybe…I’ll consider artificial insemination.”
After some time, Charity said, “I’ll go to the sperm bank and choose the right candidate.”
Cate was instantly shocked.
