”What? Are you going to argue with me over an illegitimate daughter?” Old Madam Yule lost her temper.
“Cate isn’t an illegitimate child.”
“Since you didn’t marry her mom, it means she’s an illegitimate child. This kind of person isn’t qualified to be a part of the Yule family’s house. If you insist on acknowledging her, you’re no longer my son.” Old Madam Yule threatened Joel.
“Dad is still in the emergency room, so I don’t want to argue with you.” Joel panted as he turned around. He was so pissed that his frail body was trembling.
“Take a seat first, Dad.” Cate promptly held him to the seat. “I’m going downstairs to buy you a bottle of water.”
Melanie teased in a strange tone, “Even Granny isn’t seated yet despite her old age. You’re quite good at currying favors. No wonder you’ve got Uncle Joel wrapped around your hands.”
Then, she turned around and brought Old Madam Yule to a seat.
“You’re so understanding, unlike someone.” Old Madam Yule shook her head. She was extremely upset with Cate.
Joel was so infuriated that his face reddened. If it had not been for the fact that Old Master Yule was currently under emergency treatment, he would have left without a second thought.
“It doesn’t matter, Dad. Grandpa and Granny haven’t liked me since the very beginning anyway, and after all, they weren’t the ones who raised me. Fortunately, I have no intention of returning to the Yule family’s house either.”
After consoling Joel, she turned around and went downstairs to get him some water.
In the VIP ward.
Shaun was lying on the bed while on sodium chloride IV infusion.
His pale yet exquisitely handsome face was expressionless, and his gaze was empty. As if he had given up on the world, he exuded a sense of despondency.
Even the air of authority, sternness, and sharpness he used to have was absent. At that moment, he was just like a man at his wits’ end.
At the sight of his situation, Hadley took pity on him. “Eldest Young Master, you should eat something. Since your surgery ended yesterday, you haven’t eaten anything. Your body won’t be able to take it no matter how fit you usually are.”
Shaun pursed his thin lips without uttering a word. He was not even in the mood to say anything.
He had never hated his mouth so much. Why was he not a dumb person? Otherwise, he would not have thrown those hurtful remarks at Cate.
At that moment, a familiar figure flashed past the door.
He sat up with a jolt and directly removed the tubes on his hand before he dashed after the figure.
Hadley was taken aback. “Eldest Young Master, your hand is still bleeding… You’ve just had an operation. The doctor said that you can’t move, or your wound will split open.”
Nevertheless, Shaun acted as if he did not hear it. Instead, he ran as fast as he could until he gripped the thin person in front of him.
“Cate…”
Cate, who was walking forward, suddenly felt someone grip her and heard a man’s hoarse voice at
the same time.
She turned around, only to see Shaun’s eyes filled with agony.
He still looked handsome despite being in a white hospital gown. In fact, the outfit revealed the weakness of the usually powerful man, making him seem like a little puppy that needed care and protection.
“Are you here to visit me?” Shaun fixed his greedy eyes on her. His tone was filled with cautiousness and flattery, which was rare. “My ward is at the back.”
Cate fixed her stony gaze on Shaun’s cautious look.
She found it ludicrous.
The corners of her mouth curled her lips into a mocking smile.
“Do you think I’m here to visit you?” Cate shrank from his grip. “We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
She then turned around to leave, but Shaun was quick enough to stand in front of her. Although he was sick, his tone was arrogant as usual. “When did I break up with you? Cate, you’re still my girlfriend.”
“Mr. Lyons, you have such a poor memory. Let me remind you that you were holding onto Sarah’s arms intimately when you showed up at the court yesterday.”
Cate was really amazed by his shameless behavior. “Someone who’s ashamed won’ t bring himself to say such things.”
“You can treat me as shameless, then.”
Shaun was reluctant to let go of her hand. He knew that he had wronged her a lot, so perhaps he should not disturb her as Hadley said. However, he could not stop thinking about her since last night.
He had heard a saying that one would think of the person they loved when they were sick.
Unfortunately, he had grasped it too late.
“Cate, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. It was because I really did see Logan tearing Sarah’s clothes apart when I saved her the other day…”
“Stop telling me how angry you are for Sarah. I find it disgusting.” Cate interrupted him. “ Actually, you guessed it right, Shaun. I only agreed to get back together with you with the intention of taking revenge on you. I want Sarah to experience the feeling of having her beloved person snatched away.”
“What did you say? ” Shaun was dazed. His heart felt like it had been punched. “This is impossible… ”
“Impossible?” Cate snorted, “What makes you so confident? Think about all the things you have done to me before. Do you want me to list them out one by one? First of all, when you had an affair with Sarah but were afraid of being criticized by the public, you threatened me with my dad and forced me to tell the public that we had gotten a divorce. Then, the netizens lashed out at me.
“The second incident was when you insisted on saving Thomas, who forced himself upon Mireya, which added fuel to the fire. In the end, Thomas came out and accused Mireya in front of the media.
“Thirdly, you treated me like a dog and locked me up. You even planned on letting Sarah look after my children.
“Fourth, you pushed me and caused me to suffer a miscarriage.
“The fifth was when Sarah claimed that I had depression, so you asked the doctor to lock me up and give me a shot and medicine every day. I told you many times that I was fine and I wasn’t ill at that time.
“The sixth was leaving Sarah to manage the only company my mom had left for me after I pretended to be dead. You have so many companies, but you just had to give her Hudson. Couldn’t you give her something else?”
The more Cate described, the more furious and agitated she became. Her pretty eyes were burning with resentment.
Shaun was utterly stunned. It finally hit him that she had never stopped hating him.
Did it mean that all her previous smiles, concern, and gentleness toward him were insincere?
