“She’s actually quite cruel to herself.” Shaun laughed bitterly. Ever since the trial, he could no longer think sensibly when it came to Sarah’s affairs.
Moreover, Sarah had been staying in the hospital recently, so he had been frequenting between the hospital, office, and home. He had since had a good rest.
He, too, was exhausted.
“Yeah. It’s as if we must be responsible for her life.” Chester felt a twinge of annoyance.
He used to treat Sarah as his sister and sympathized with what she had gone through.
However, Shaun and Chester were not the ones who contributed to her suffering. She had been in endless trouble. One minute, she fell from the stairs, and the next, she nearly committed suicide because she was treated violently. Now, she committed suicide in the house.
As a doctor, Chester had seen a lot of patients who passed away as a result of serious illnesses. Hence, he valued life, but he did not sense that in Sarah.
In the morning.
Sarah woke up slowly, only to see Thomas playing games beside her.
Her eyes swept across the ward, and she nearly fainted. “Where’s Shaunic? Didn’t he come? And where’s Chester?” “Young Master Jewell came here for a short while last night, but Young Master Lyons hasn’t come.”
Thomas put down his phone and said indignantly, “ Young Master Lyons is heartless. You almost died, yet he’s so unconcerned. Sigh, Sarah, do you think they are fed up with your suicide tactic?”
“ Shut up.” Sarah glowered at him. “Do you think I like to do this? He refused to pick up my calls or meet me. I have to make him believe that I have nothing to do with Logan’s matter.”
“But I reckon he’s suspecting you.” Thomas let out a sigh. “I think you should give up on Eldest Young Master. Young Master Snow isn’t bad either.”
“Don’t mention him. That useless man is still locked up by the Snow family.”
Sarah closed her eyes.
No one in Australia could compare to such an outstanding man like Shaun, so she was reluctant to give up on him.
Besides, she was truly in love with Shaun. Otherwise, she would not have stayed by his side even though he could not bring himself to touch her over the past three years.
This was the only time Shaun had ignored her when she was hospitalized.
The next day, she could not hold back anymore as she lost control and smashed the things in the
ward. She even made a scene and tried to kill herself.
She was sure that the Liona members outside the ward would inform Shaun about it.
Fortunately, Shaun finally showed up on the third day.
However, he was seated in the wheelchair and dressed in the same hospital gown as her. His handsome face had slimmed down, making his features look more pronounced and colder.
With his dark eyes fixed on her, Sarah felt inexplicably uneasy.
“Shaunic, what’s… What’s wrong with you?” Sarah looked at him in utter astonishment. “Are you injured?”
Hadley said faintly, “Eldest Young Master has just undergone an operation for gastrointestinal perforation. The doctor said he isn’t supposed to get out of bed, but you’ve been kicking up a fuss every day, so he had no choice but to come over.”
“ S-Sorry. I didn’ t mean it. I didn’t know.” Sarah was on the verge of tears, but deep down, she was delighted. It hit her that his absence earlier was because he had an operation, not because he was not concerned about her. Now that he came, it showed that he actually cared about her.
“Since you know why I didn’t come earlier, can you leave me alone now?” Shaun’s attractive brows sank, and there was a hint of weariness in his eyes.
Sarah was stunned, and a wave of uneasiness washed over her. “ Shaunic, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to kick up a fuss when you were sick. I was very miserable, especially when I thought you might have misunderstood me…”
“Is that why you slit your wrist to kill yourself?” Shaun interrupted her as he glanced at her wrist. “ Since you don’t feel like living anymore, have you bought a grave plot?”
“W-What?” Sarah froze. She could not believe that Shaun would say such a thing.
Agitated, Thomas began to shout, “ Eldest Young Master, you’ve gone too far. Are you trying to drive Sarah to her death?”
“Am I wrong in saying that? She asked for death, so how can you say that I’m forcing her?” Shaun mocked.
Thomas was at a loss for words.
Shaun’s mouth suddenly twitched. He wondered why he was so stupid before not to notice how Sarah and Thomas always sang the same tune. They made him feel like a sinner when he ignored Sarah.
“Sarah, how difficult is it to stop pestering me and leave me alone? Just tell me.”
Sarah shuddered. It was her first time hearing such a merciless remark from Shaun.
It seemed like he was really bored of her.
“I’m sorry, Shaunic.” She covered her face and wept. “I don’t want to be like this either. I know I’ve been causing you trouble…”
“Sarah, there’s nothing to feel sorry about.” Thomas said in exasperation, “Eldest Young Master, you’ re too heartless. Have you forgotten who cured your illness back then? She has stuck with you through thick and thin. Even if both of you can’t be a couple, you can still be friends, right?”
“Friends?”
Shaun chuckled. “Do you mean the kind of friend who is at her beck and call? But when she calls me and I arrive late, she’ll make a scene? At the same time, I have to take responsibility for her safety and happiness for the rest of her life.”
Sarah promptly argued, “No…”
“Sarah, when did you turn into this kind of person?” Shaun interrupted her sentence impatiently. “We were merely in a relationship, and we’ve never slept together up until this day. I’ve even given you lots of property and money when we broke up. But why do you always behave like you’ll kill yourself if I refuse to be with you?”
He had had enough of everything.
He had enough of having to be responsible to Sarah for the rest of his life.
He had enough of hurting Cate over and over again because of Sarah.
Sarah was shocked by his fierce expression. “You’ve misunderstood. I wanted to kill myself because I feel that I’m… filthy. Shaunic, I love you. My love for you has never changed.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t love you anymore.”
Shaun said directly and indifferently, “ Sarah, you should be content. Cate married me and even suffered a miscarriage because of me, yet I didn’t give her a penny when we got a divorce. For a cruel and heartless man like me, I’m considered kind to you. I even went all out to protect and look after your useless brother. Although you cured my illness, I’ve returned the favor. Tell me, in which aspect do I still owe you?”
Sarah and Thomas were both dazed.
