After driving for more than ten minutes, Cate spotted a pharmacy, where she got down from the car and bought a bottle of disinfectant and medicine. Then, she drove him to a bungalow where she once went in the past.
She used Shaun’s fingerprint to unlock the door. When they went in, she threw him on the sofa.
Initially, she wanted to turn around and leave. Yet, as she glanced at the medicine in her hands, she kind-heartedly fetched a basin of water and helped to take off his dirty clothes.
When it came to his pants, she initially did not want to change them for him. However, after considering that the inside was wet too, she simply took everything off.
When Cate helped him with his pants, she was baffled to notice that part of his body was wrapped in gauze.
She swallowed her saliva. It seemed like she had discovered an unbelievable matter.
Why was that part of his body wrapped in gauze? Could it possibly be… crippled?
She could not resist probing it brazenly, but it really did not react at all.
He was not like that in the past.
Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she gasped. Why would that part become crippled for no reason?
Could this be why he was degraded, drunk, and lifeless?
It seemed understandable. To a man, this would be a big deal, especially for a man like him who prioritized his needs a lot.
No wonder he suddenly said he would not marry or have kids in this life that day.
There was indeed no way for him to marry or have children in his state. He was bound to… end up alone.
Cate looked at his face, which was covered in wounds. Strangely… she felt conflicted.
She should be so happy about it and setting off firecrackers to celebrate it. This was his retribution. It was his fault for making her so miserable.
However, she felt a bit sour instead.
That was why a person should not do too many bad deeds. After all, what comes around goes around.
Cate sighed. She wiped him down, disinfected his wounds, and applied some medicine on them before she dressed him in clothes. As she was leaving, she took a blanket and covered him with it. After that, she closed the door lightly and left.
Then, she sat in her car in the parking lot downstairs for a long time.
She found the whole thing unbelievable.
The next day, Shaun woke up from a hangover to his ringing phone.
He opened his eyes. When he saw his phone on the table, he picked up the call. Chester’s cool voice came through. “Shaun, you got beaten up by Simon?”
Shaun was stunned for a while, and only then he realized his body was aching. He recalled clips of him getting drunk at the bar last night. After that… it seemed like he got hit once he exited the bar. The person who hit him said many things, but he could not remember who that person was.
At that moment, he thought the person could hit him all he wanted. He did not feel like resisting anyway. He had no strength to hit someone.
“So the person who hit me last night was Simon,” Shaun muttered.
“You didn’t know?” Chester was speechless. “It’s a viral topic in Canberra now. This Simon, how dare he add insult to the injury. Why didn’t we realize before that he was this kind of person?”
“I drank too much last night. I don’ t remember.” Shaun pinched the middle of his brows, which was aching. “When did I have a grudge with Simon?”
“He must’ve been holding a grudge because you broke his leg three years ago. That b*stard,” Chester scolded.
“I broke his leg before?” Shaun was astonished and shocked. “Why don’t I remember?”
“You’ve forgotten a lot of stuff these years.” Chester said, “Three years ago, Rodney wanted to help you teach Cate a lesson, so he kidnapped Cate onto a yacht. Then, he got Simon and a few others to watch her dance. When you rushed over and saw Cate being forced to drink and bullied by them, you were so angry that you broke many young masters’ legs on the yacht that night.”
Shaun was confused. He had no memory of that incident at all. “In the past… I would do those things for Cate?”
“What else? It became a big issue later on. Those families even joined hands and boycotted you. The video of you asking someone to break their legs was even uploaded on the internet. You got scolded so badly. Afterward, no one dared to circulate those videos due to your oppression. But if you look for it carefully, you still can find it.”
Chester hesitated for a moment and then scolded, “There’s something else. I heard some news from Simon’s side. It seems like it was Thomas who instigated Simon to bother you after seeing you drinking at the bar.”
“Thomas?” Shaun’s expression instantly turned cold.
It was one thing for him to lose faith in life, but it did not mean he would let just anyone bully him, especially Thomas. Shaun did his best to help Neeson Corporation all those years. If it were not for him helping Thomas get out of trouble and fighting his lawsuits, Thomas would have gone to jail long ago.
Yet, Thomas instigated Simon to hit him?
“Are you sure?” Shaun said coldly, “I don’t have any grudges with Thomas.”
“Are you sure you don’t?” Chester reminded him.
“Are you talking about my breakup with Sarah?’ Shaun was astonished, but hostility then welled up in his eyes.
He did not think he owed Sarah anything. After all, the Neeson siblings played so many tricks behind the scenes after he made up with Cate back then.
Chester sighed. “I’m not sure. I can only say that Thomas has never been a good person to begin with. Someone like him will only take your help for granted, but if you don’t, he’ll hate you in return.”
“He did it on purpose.” Shaun quickly understood. “It wasn’t convenient for him to do it as he was afraid of offending you guys, so he instigated Simon to come over.”
“I reckon that was the case. When he drugged Mireya last time, Rodney wanted to teach him a lesson, but he escaped overseas. I guess he came back thinking that Rodney’s anger has subsided, and it has been more than a month since that incident happened.” Chester said, “You’re my brother. I’ll stand up for you on this matter.”
“Mm.”
Shaun’s mind was still in a mess. “By the way, how did I come back last night?”
“How do I know? I only knew that you got beaten up this morning.”
Shaun lowered his head. He suddenly noticed that medicine was applied on the back of his hand and his body. Not only that but his clothes were changed as well.
His expression changed drastically. After he hung up, he tugged his pants and had a look inside. Damn it. His underwear was changed too.
It meant that someone might have found him last night.
Who was it?
He recalled dreaming about Cate last night, and she was here.
That… should be impossible.
He shuddered and quickly sat up. Then, he ran to the security room and had the administrator pull out the security footage. After watching it, his knees went weak.
It really was Cate. She helped him change his clothes, so she surely must have noticed that part of him was wrapped in gauze.
What was more tragic than having the woman he loved finding out that he was impotent?
Shaun wanted to slap himself. Why did he go drinking last night?
Great. Now, he could not even keep the last bit of his private secret. 9:00 a.m.
Wesley drove Cate to the main entrance of Hudson Corporation. However, Cate looked like she was still in a daze, so he reminded her in a low voice, “We’ve arrived.”
“…Oh.” Cate came back to her senses and unbuckled her seat belt. “Be careful on your own.”
“Mm.” Wesley nodded. He suddenly stared into her eyes and said, “Last night… It looks like Shaun was beaten up.”
“Whatever. I’m not the one who had someone beat him up anyway.” Cate opened the door, feeling a little guilty. “I’m heading up.”
After seeing Cate leave from behind, Wesley remembered the phone call he got that morning.
“Last night, Shaun was beaten up by Simon’s men. However, Cate appeared and saved him afterward.”
Wesley’s eyes darkened. No wonder she only came back home after 1:00 a.m. last night.
She lied to him again. That… fcking btch.
Wesley started the car with a twisted expression. On the road, he gave Regina a call. “Go to the suite in the office. Wait for me.” He needed to find a woman. If not, he could not tolerate the anger he felt.
