Chester was speechless and took out a lollipop from the drawer before giving it to her. Then, he turned to Shaun. “Your niece’s acting is amazing.”
Shaun glanced at him. “Have you talked to the doctor already?”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any loopholes. Go quickly.” Chester was speechless. It had taken great pains to trick Cate to come out tonight.
When Cate rushed to the hospital, Suzie, who had just finished eating the lollipop, was asleep in Shaun’s arms.
The father and daughter sat on the chair in the hospital. Suzie had her eyes closed, looking adorable. It made people feel tender affection for her.
Maybe it was the bleak hospital environment, but Cate’s heart ached when she saw them. Suzie had always been delicate and loved to cry when she got sick, but Cate was not able to be with her from the very start.
“Suzie…”
Her eyes could not help but redden.
A trace of guilt flashed in Shaun’s eyes. He did not expect Cate to care so much about Suzie. After all, Suzie was not her child.
“Suzie is asleep.”
Shaun lied without a change in expression. “She had a fever just now, but she’s much better after taking fever medicine. She was crying and saying she missed you. Sorry that we disturbed your sleep.”
“Why did she suddenly get a fever?” Cate asked with red eyes.
She really wanted to take Suzie back with her now.
As a mother, she would only feel relieved if she took care of her child herself.
“… She kicked the blanket off at night.” Shaun casually found a reason.
“Where’s the nanny? Didn’t the nanny help cover her back up?” Cate asked angrily.
“I was the one who slept with her. I was deep in sleep…” Shaun’s face was chagrined. Sure enough, he could not be too casual in finding excuses. He ended up burning himself in the end.
“Shaun Lyons… ” Cate glared at him angrily. ” You really aren’t a good…”
The word ¡®father’ was stuck in her throat. She almost let it slip.
“Yes, I know I’m not a good uncle.” Shaun did not think much about it and sincerely admitted his mistake. “I’m trying hard to be Suzie’s new father.”
“New father?” Cate’s heart quivered.
“Yeah, Liam isn’t around anymore, so I’ ll be her father in the future. I’ll pick her up and drop her off at kindergarten, I’ll sleep with her at night, I’ll also accompany her to read books and play with toys…”
Shaun spoke for a long time before realizing that he was rambling. He immediately stopped his mouth.
“Yes, you can stay with her more. ” Cate did not think much about it. After all, many biological fathers did not do those things. Suzie was different from Lucas. Although she called her dad scummy, she needed fatherly love.
After a pause, she lectured again, “But since you’ve decided to take up this responsibility, take better care of her. Which parent would dare to fall into such deep sleep? She’s still small, so it’s natural that she’ll kick off the blanket.”
Shaun was stunned. “How do you know so much? It’s like you had children before…”
Cate’s heart trembled as she quickly said, ” I did have children before. I don’t need you to remind me.”
Shaun froze and realized that he had said the wrong thing. “I’m sorry…”
“I’ve accompanied Suzie many times now. She used to sleep with me before, so I know children very well.”
Cate said calmly, “Raising a child is not as simple as spending money on them. You have to be responsible for her.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Shaun nodded. His obedient appearance made Cate feel complicated emotions brewing within her.
She never thought that one day, Shaun would be so well-behaved in front of her. It was like she was looking at a clever student.
“Right, does she need to stay in the hospital tonight?”
“She can leave, but considering how she cried for you, I waited here for you. ” Shaun asked, “Can you hold her? I’ll get the car.”
Cate picked Suzie up without hesitation and felt her forehead. Everything was normal, so she was relieved.
However, the little girl was sleeping too soundly. She even started to snore.
Soon, Shaun drove the car to the hospital’s entrance.
When he opened the door, Cate carried Suzie in and got into the backseat.
Neon lights flashed through the window, and Shaun occasionally saw the scene of Cate sleeping with Suzie in her arms from the rear-view mirror. She had her head lowered, and when he looked at Suzie, he found the scene very beautiful and quiet.
It made him want to freeze time at this moment forever.
If possible, he wanted to continue this life with her. It did not matter even if he suffered in hell for the second half of his life.
Unfortunately… he may never be qualified to have that.
Before long, the car stopped at the neighborhood of his private bungalow.
Cate was stunned. “You brought her here? Aren’t you staying with your grandparents?”
“That’s too far away and it’s in the suburbs too. It’s too late today, so I won’t go there.”
Shaun parked the car and opened the back door. She took Suzie from Cate’s hands. “I’ll take her. She’s too heavy.”
Cate frowned. ” Since she’s asleep, I’ll go back first.”
She was determined to start a new life with Wesley, so it would not be good for her to stay here with Shaun alone. “But the doctor said her fever might come back tonight,” Shaun called out to her. “What should I do?”
Cate glared at Shaun for a while, but in the end, she still followed him upstairs.
He put Suzie on the big bed in the master bedroom. “You can rest next door. I won’t sleep. I’ll stay here with her.”
“Forget it. If I leave you here, you won’t know what to do if she has a fever again.”
Cate rolled her eyes at him. “Leave me the thermometer. You sleep next door.”
“… Okay.”
Shaun nodded and turned to go out.
This was his bedroom, so Cate did not dare to sleep on the bed. She stayed on the sofa at the side and sent a text message to Wesley: [I have to work overtime at the company until early morning and won’t go back tonight. I’m sorry.]
After sending it, her cheeks burned with guilt. She felt like a woman cheating on her husband.
However, when she saw Suzie’s innocent little face, she could not help it.
She sat for a long time until fatigue slowly hit her. She leaned back on the sofa and drifted to sleep.
Before she completely fell asleep, she heard the sound of the room door gently opening. She immediately woke up but did not open her eyes.
She would not know what to say to Shaun if she woke up now, and secondly, she did not know what Shaun was planning to do.
Then, the sound of footsteps stopped in front of her and a pair of arms held her up.
She quickly opened her eyes and stared at Shaun nervously and warily. “What are you doing? Put me down.”
“I just wanted to carry you to the bed. It’s late. You need to rest.”
Shaun’s deep and dark eyes were firmly locked on her snowy little face.
“No need. Also… I’m not going to sleep on your bed, ” Cate said with determination.
“How many times have you lied down on my bed already?” Shaun raised a sharp eyebrow. Even though he tried to control it, when facing her, his face still instinctively revealed a hint of ambiguity.
