Cate was speechless. “I’m sick of your nonsense. I’m leaving now, and I don’t need Hadley to send me home.”
This guy was such a jerk that he made her lose her temper.
“Don’t leave, Cate. I know you want Hadley to keep me company. You’re afraid that I’ll have a hard time being here alone…” Shaun’s annoying voice rang from behind.
No longer able to tolerate him, Cate eventually gritted her teeth and replied in frustration, “Fine, fine. Just take me to mean that I worry about you, okay? Please let me go. If I don’t go, I’m afraid I’ll knock you unconscious with the infusion bottle. “
“If you’re really planning to leave, do send Hadley a text once you get home later. If you don’t, I’ll contact Wesley to find out whether you’ve reached home.” Shaun sighed faintly. He looked helpless.
“Alright, I will. You don’t have to contact Wesley. I’ll be staying at my dad’s place tonight.” Cate glared at him before she left.
As Shaun watched her walk out the door, the corners of his mouth curved upward into a smile.
Never in his wildest dream did he think that he would one day go to the trouble of pestering a woman.
In the past, he could not be bothered about it. Nevertheless, he came to realize that there was nothing wrong with pursuing the woman he loved.
Shaun’s words made Cate feel deeply powerless.
It reminded her of Shaun uttering all kinds of pickup lines when she met him for the first time. Later, she lashed out at him and wondered if he was mentally ill.
At that time, she felt that he was a dumb*ss for not knowing how to flirt with such a beauty.
Now, she seemed to understand his feelings then.
Once Shaun entered the emergency department, he had to fill in his name and phone number on the form to complete the registration.
He directly raised his injured right arm. “I can’t write.”
As such, Cate had no choice but to help him fill out the form and register for an appointment.
Shaun walked with her all the way. He had to take a n X-ray before finally needing some sodium chloride IV infusion to reduce inflammation.
After the nurse set up the infusion for him, he glanced at the time. It was almost 12:00 a.m. As much as he wanted to spend more time with Cate, he did not want her to tire herself out. ” Lend me your phone for a while. I want to give Hadley a call.”
Assuming that Shaun wanted Hadley to come over to look after him, she passed him the phone.
Unexpectedly, he called Hadley and said, “I’m in the hospital. Come here and send Cate home.”
Cate frowned. After Shaun ended the call, she said, “I don’t need Hadley to send me home. I can take a taxi.”
“No. It’s not safe for a pretty young lady like you to take a taxi home at such a late hour.” Shaun shook his head. “Give me the receipt. I’ll return you the money tomorrow.”
Cate glanced sideways at him.
Given that the beds were full tonight, he had no alternative but to have IV infusion seated on the chair, alone in the lifeless infusion room. The atmosphere of this messy environment did not match his elegant and noble temperament at all, and it made him look rather miserable.
She closed her eyes, telling herself that she should not soften her attitude toward him. “You don’t need to return it. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re trying to seize the opportunity to stay in touch with me.”
After his attempt was seen through, Shaun smiled wryly. “Since you don’t need me to return it, that’s fine. What’s mine is yours anyway. I understand.”
“Whose things are yours?” Cate was frustrated by his shameless behavior. “I just don’t want to leave any chance for you to approach me.”
“I know. You take pity on me because I’m not as rich as before. You’re trying to help me save money.” Shaun’s mesmerizing eyes were filled with tender affection.
Cate was speechless. “I’m sick of your nonsense. I’m leaving now, and I don’t need Hadley to send me home.”
This guy was such a jerk that he made her lose her temper.
“Don’t leave, Cate. I know you want Hadley to keep me company. You’re afraid that I’ll have a hard time being here alone…” Shaun’s annoying voice rang from behind.

“Ask Gary to settle it,” Mason said nonchalantly.
“Will Gary agree on it?” A helpless expression flashed across Maurice’s face. “I’m sure the Holt family would rather sacrifice Chelsea than offend the Mead family and the Snow family.
“I have dirt on the Holt family. When I threaten them, I’ll also give them some benefits.”
Mason paused for an instant and glanced at Charlie gravely. “It’s not as simple as you guys think. We can shift the blame to Chelsea, but the Mead family and the Snow family aren’t fools. They’ll definitely suspect us.”
“So… what should we do?” Charlie’s face turned ghastly.
“Offer them benefits.” Mason secretly rubbed his fingers together. “Let’s start from the Mead family. Money talks.”
“Okay, I got it. Uncle Mason, you’re awesome.” Charlie admired Mason a lot However, Mason remained indifferent. “Use your brains before you act next time. It doesn’t matter if you die. Just don’t drag the Campos family into the mess.”
Abashed, Charlie could not help but lower his head and admit his reckless impetuousness this time. ” I’m sorry.”
“Shaun is even more skillful than a top special agent. If you’re planning to kill him with your poor tactics, you can dream on.” Mason glowered at Charlie. “Now, get lost.”
After Charlie left despondently, Maurice said with concern, “Will Shaun jump at this opportunity to develop a good relationship with the Mead family? We can’t possibly allow him to make a comeback.”
“Get someone to keep an eye on him all the time.”
After spending a night in the hospital, Shaun directly headed to Lyons Corporation for work.
Once Lea knew that he came, she walked to him and told him off, “Go back and rest. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, yet the first thing you do is to come to the office. Don’t you dare drop dead in the office. I still want you to be around in my last moments.”
Shaun raised his eyebrows. He could sense her care for him from her somber tone. “Don’t worry. I’ll be with you in your last moments.”
Lea lifted her brows. She felt that something seemed quite different about him.
Although Shaun had been coming to the office every day before this, he hardly did anything. He just lived in a daze, as if he had lost all motivation to live.
Could he have bestirred himself because he was on the verge of death last night?
“What actually happened last night?”
When Lea recalled almost losing this son last night, her gaze turned gentle. “Why did the elevator suddenly go wrong? Was it because someone planned to kill Hannah? Or could the person be targeting you?”
“I’m not sure. Just leave it to the police to find out, ” Shaun responded indifferently.
“Is the Campos family trying to kill you? I heard both the Campos family and the Holt family were targeting you at the banquet…”
“There’s no evidence, ” Shaun interrupted her.
Lea’s expression looked awful. It even had a hint of hatred and despair.
Since Shaun did not deny it, it meant that it could be the Campos family’s doing.
She could not get her head around it. The Campos family was already the most influential family in Australia, Lyons Corporation had already been defeated and left in a tight corner, and she had also been abandoned. She had even lost one of her sons.
In this case, why would the Campos family want to go as far as killing her family?
What had she done wrong to make the Campos family turn against people around her time and time again?
“Don’t overthink things.” Shaun looked at her expression. “This matter has nothing to do with you. The Campos family is petty. What’s more, I jeered at Charlie last time, so he has been holding a grudge against me ever since.”
Lea was astounded. “They’re trying to kill you just because of that jeer?”
“Don’t underestimate the Campos family’s cruelty. Right now, for them, it’s their way or the highway.” Shaun reminded, “You don’t have to look for Mason. A person like him is already considered inhuman.”
