When he was almost at the company building, his phone rang again.
“President Sanderson, you’ve been followed by Logan.” Logan?
Wesley was shocked. “How long has he been following me?
“Ever since you left Hudson Corporation. He’s very careful. If we didn’t send someone to observe him and Austin from the start, I wouldn’t have noticed it too.”
“I got it.” Wesley tightened his grip on the phone. Then, he laughed coldly.
Logan only obeyed Cate, which meant that Cate had asked Logan to investigate him.
Did she suspect something?
It made no sense. Wesley was very cautious all along. Where did it go wrong?
It seemed like his top priority was to clear her suspicions of him. Hence, he called Regina again. “You don’t have to go to the office anymore. You no longer have to wait for me in the near future either. Cate is already suspicious of something.”
Regina could not help but said, “President Sanderson, let her suspect all she wants. She can’t do anything as long as you don’t get a divorce anyway.”
“What the f*ck do you know?” Wesley reprimanded her bluntly.
Regina’s voice choked from being scolded. “I just feel bad whenever I see you pleasing Cate gingerly. With your current identity, there’s really no need for you to do that.”
“What identity do I have now?” Wesley sneered. “I’m just Mason’s dog.”
As his secretary, Regina knew of that identity. However, after hearing his words, she could not help but mutter to herself. Mason was now Australia’s wealthiest man, so being Mason’s subordinate meant that Wesley was one of Australia’s top figures too.
Could it be that… Wesley was discontented at being placed below Mason?
After that thought crossed her mind, Regina could not help but shiver.
“There are some things that you don’t understand a t all. Remember, don’t let Cate find out your relationship with me. As for Cate… she’ll still be of use to me in the future.”
He hung up right after he said that. Regina was confused.
Did Wesley want to use Cate to deal with Shaun?
However, Shaun was already impotent. Otherwise, did Cate have any other… unique identity?
After Cate entered her office at Hudson Corporation, Shaun gave her a call.
She looked at the incoming phone number, and in the end, she picked up the call awkwardly. “Is there anything…”
“Ahem.” Coughing sounds came from the other side of the phone, but she did not hear anyone speak for a while.
“Shaun, I’m hanging up if you’re not talking.” Just as Cate finished her sentence, Shaun’s deep voice finally came from the other side.
“Thank you for sending me home last night, and… applying medicine on me.”
His voice was shy, as if he was a little boy. He was completely different from the Shaun that Cate knew, and it felt weird.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I just saw someone fighting at the roadside when I was driving last night. I didn’t know it was you until I saw you lying in the mud. You looked quite pitiful, so I kindly sent you back.”
Cate avoided having any connections with him. “Even if it were a stranger last night, I would’ve done the same thing too.”
Shaun felt overwhelmingly bitter when he heard that. Luckily, he did not carry much hope from the start. Besides, he did not dare to think about the future either.
“I have something else to do. Bye…”
Cate noticed the call went silent again, so she spoke.
“Cate…” Shaun suddenly called out to her. She could hear his heavy breathing. “You… saw everything?”
Embarrassment washed over Cate’s face. Could she say she did not see it?
“You’re talking about that?” A while later, she found her voice. “That’s none of my business anyway.”
Shaun’s heart tugged.
None of her business. Her words were so heartless.
“You’re right.” He let out a self-deprecating smile. “I don’t have the right to be a part of your world anymore.”
Cate was surprised. If it were in the past, he would have lost his temper. Did the fact that he got hurt in that area really changed his personality?
In fact, she really wanted to ask how he became like that. However, she was just about to say it when she stopped, afraid that he would think she was still concerned about him.
Shaun said, “I don’t have any particular reason for calling you. I just wanted to say thank you. Goodbye. Go on with your work. I won’t disturb you.”
After the call ended, Cate was in a daze for a long time. Shaun’s careful tone was still ringing in her ears, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She was used to Shaun’s arrogance and haughtiness. Hence, this sudden change of behavior was weird for her.
At the bungalow, Shaun opened his laptop and watched a video on it.
It was the security footage from three years ago, where he ordered people to break the legs of those young masters. At that time, he was so nervous that he embraced Cate in his arms.
Actually, he wanted to ask her just now what exactly their relationship was like three years ago.
Why would he break the legs of those young masters for her sake? Why would he care so much about those men taking advantage of her? He knew himself well. With his personality, he would not have done something to offend so many young masters for a mere woman whom he did not care about.
Unless he already had her in his heart three years ago.
It was just that he forgot about it afterward.
Although people could be forgotten, how could feelings be completely forgotten as well?
Moreover, thinking back carefully, he still remembered many things. Only the memories where he cared for Cate were oddly missing.
Not only that, but all he remembered was bad things about Cate…
He stood up abruptly and drove to Australia’s medical university.
He waited at an old building for half an hour before he finally saw an elderly in his sixties walking toward him.
“Professor Lincoln.” Shaun walked over in long strides.
“Young Master Lyons, what brings you here today?” Professor Lincoln used to be the vice director of the mental hospital. He was in charge of Shaun’s illness when Shaun was young. After he retired, he came to the university and became an honorary professor.
“Professor Lincoln, I would like to ask you something,” Shaun said in a low voice.
“Okay, but don’t tell me your illness recurred again? “Professor Lincoln sized him up. “I heard you found a top psychologist from the US and cured your illness.”
“I have recovered, but I just want to ask about something else. Let’s talk about it upstairs.”
Upstairs, Professor Lincoln poured Shaun a cup of coffee. “Go ahead.” Shaun took the cup of coffee. He mulled it over for a long time, then he slowly said, “As you know, my illness recurred three years ago after my mental illness history was exposed. My memory deteriorated after that, and I’ve forgotten many things…”
“It’s very normal.” Professor Lincoln nodded. ” Some mentally ill patients’ memories will deteriorate. Some may even experience hallucinations or mental disturbance. In serious cases, some may murder others.”
“My condition is fine now, but lately… I suddenly realized that although I’ve forgotten a lot of things from the past, what I’ve forgotten most is the memories with my ex-wife.
“I always thought I didn’t love her in the past. All I remember are the bad things about her. I hate her a lot, but recently, subsequent evidence has appeared, proving I might’ve cared about her in the past. However, I don’t know why I can’t remember that I cared about her and some other things relating to her.”
Shaun muttered, “I used to hate going to places like KFC, but a while back, I heard from my friend that I accompanied Cate there before. I even offended many people to get revenge for her. I also spent a huge amount of money on buying her a very expensive and meaningful diamond necklace.”
Professor Lincoln’s eyebrows knitted into a frown. He was deep in thought. “You just don’t remember things regarding her?”
“Not really. I can’t remember some other things too. That was why I didn’t take this seriously back then. However, I’ve noticed lately that the things I’ve forgotten seem… mostly related to her. I even… It’s very strange. If I really cared about her before, why would I hate her so much after that?
Furthermore, my memories of hate toward her are still complete. It was only until recently that I suddenly realized that a lot of my memories with her are missing.”
Shaun was confused. He really could not get his head around it.
