She could hear how smug Wesley was from his tone. “I just wanted to tell you not to waste any more time on Shaun. I’ll be here waiting for your return, darling.”
After that, he hung up. Cate was so furious that she wished she could tear his face apart.
However, she was deeply suspicious of the matter. The matter was just bizarre.
As such, she dared not walk away from Shaun at all.
At 11:00 p.m., the man on the bed finally woke up.
“Shaunny, are you okay?” Cate promptly held his hands.
The man’s thick lashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his dazed, pure eyes.
After blinking his eyes, Shaun suddenly jerked backward and withdrew his hands.
“What’s wrong? You can’t recognize me after suffering from a concussion, huh?” Cate asked nervously.
“Aunty, who are you?” Shaun curled up into a ball. His originally hoarse voice had turned into a kid’s cute voice.
Aunty…
Cate was stupefied. Did Shaun call her Aunty?
“Shaun, what’s wrong with you?” Lea and Brennan immediately approached him.
“No. Don’t come closer. I don’t know you guys.” Shaun used the blanket to cover himself and curled his tall figure into a ball. He was trembling.
Cate’s heart sank. Lea and Brennan were dejected as well.
Brennan anxiously stripped the blanket away. ” Shaun, I’m your dad.”
“Go away. You look scary.” Frightened, Shaun began to bawl like a baby. “I don’t want to stay here. I want to go home.”
“Shaun, we’re your parents.” Lea held his hand with worry.
“No, you guys aren’t. My daddy and mommy aren’t so old. You guys can be… my grandpa and granny.”
Shaun pouted and kept his hands to himself to stop them from approaching him.
Grandpa and Granny… Brennan and Lea were riveted.
Unable to watch on anymore, Cate quickly gave Chester a call.
Upon learning the news, Chester, who had not returned home, hurried to the room. At the sight of Shaun, he was dumbfounded.
When Shaun saw Chester, he began to blubber in fear. “I don’t want to see the doctor. Doctors are scary…”
Although Shaun could not recognize anyone, he held onto Cate’s skirt, considering she looked pretty and gentle. “Aunty, I don’t want injections. “
Seeing Shaun’s handsome, tear-filled face, Cate realized that his behavior could compare to Suzie’s. As much as she felt like killing herself, she had no choice but to endure the situation.
“Alright. No injections for you. The doctor just wants to take a look at your head.” She forced herself to calm Shaun down gently.
“Uh… There’s nothing wrong with my head. I don’t want an injection.” Shaun shook his head violently, looking frightened.
“Be good. I promise I won’t give you an injection. Let me play a little game with you.” Chester tried to put up with Shaun’s behavior and treated him like a kid.
They spent some time talking Shaun into it. When they finally managed to calm Shaun down, a few neurologists came and took turns examining Shaun’s condition. At last, a neurologist said, ” Aside from the minor concussion, everything else is fine. It’s our first time encountering such a condition. If it’s not caused by internal factors, I’m afraid it’s due to external stimulation that took place before he was injured.”
“External stimulation…”
After Cate and Chester exchanged glances, their hearts thumped, and something crossed their minds.
Lea was so unsettled that her eyes reddened. ” Doctor, is it possible to cure him?”
“We’ll try our best, but we’re not confident about it because there’s nothing wrong with his brain.” The doctor forced a smile. ” Based on my preliminary analysis, his intellectual capacity has regressed to the stage of a two-year-old.”
“Two years old?” Cate smiled ruefully. In this case, his intellectual capacity was even worse than Suzie’s.
“Let’s hope that his intellectual capacity will improve. If it doesn’t, it’ll be really troublesome.” The doctor sighed.
After the doctor left, Cate glanced at Shaun who was sucking his finger on the bed. Then, she said gloomily, “I finally understand Wesley’s motive for fooling him into showing up. It must be Sarah’s doing.”
“Sarah forcibly evoked Shaun’s tangled memories to cure him, but she made him lose his sanity instead. ” Chester clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. “That woman has become so vicious. If I had known this earlier, I would’ve killed her.”
“A cure? His memory can’t be restored at all. She obviously meant to make him go insane. I’ve always been cautious not to let him recall the past, yet he still ended up in this state.” Cate’s eyes reddened as she felt extremely upset.
With that, Cate told Brennan and Lea what Sarah did to Shaun during his treatment three years ago.
At first, Cate and Shaun planned to put that incident behind them, but they never thought that Sarah would collude with Wesley.
The news astounded Lea. “No wonder Shaun suddenly insisted on divorcing you and marrying Sarah back then. I thought he still had feelings for Sarah…”
“It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have gotten Sarah to treat his illness.” Chester greatly regretted it.
“Don’t say that. It’s not entirely your fault. If I had fulfilled my duty as a mother back then, Sarah wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of Shaun.” Lea was annoyed at herself. “That woman used to claim that she loved Shaun, but I think it was all fake. If she truly loved him, how would she be so wicked as to make him a fool?”
“I’ll have people hunt her down right away, ” Brennan said with a grim look on his face.
“Uncle Brennan, we have no proof. Nobody saw Sarah in Second Uncle’s house last night. I suspect she was the one who pretended to be Wesley’s secretary. The lights went out and the curtains were drawn so that they could force hypnosis onto Shaun. Besides, Wesley has Senator Mead as his alibi.” Cate regretted not going there with Shaun that night.
“What should we do now? Is there nothing we can do?” No matter how good-tempered Brennan was, he could not help but lose his temper there and then. “We just leave Shaun as a fool forever, huh?”
He subconsciously raised his voice. Shaun, who was sucking his finger, saw Brennan’s exasperated look and blubbered in fear once again. “Boo-hoo.
Grandpa is scary.”
“Don’t be scared. I’m here. Grandpa won’t hurt you. He’s just angry with some bad people.” Cate promptly patted Shaun on the back while calming him with her soft tone.
Brennan was speechless with his identity changed from a father to a grandfather.
His blood began to boil.
“Uncle Brennan, I’ll have a meeting with the top neurologists and psychologists to discuss this matter. Shaun is my buddy, and I’ll certainly go all out to help him,” Chester said.
“Chester, you must find a way to cure him. Shaun is such a smart… and arrogant person. He can’t be like this.” Lea could not help but burst into tears.
One of her sons had gone missing in the sea, while the other had become a fool.
She could not bring herself to accept this fact.
However, Shaun did not seem to notice their sorrow. After weeping for a while, he lifted his big, pure eyes and said to Cate, “Aunty… I’m hungry.”
Cate felt like crying for being called an aunty. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to ask gently, ” What would you like to eat?”
“I want milk…” Shaun pursed his thin lips with tears in his eyes. He looked just like Suzie when she said she was hungry.
Cate almost choked.
She would find it normal if Suzie and Lucas said that they wanted milk. However, Shaun was an adult…
Forget it. He only had a mental age of two.
“Alright. I’ll get you some milk.” Cate forced a smile. When she stood up, Shaun tugged at the hem of her skirt.
“Aunty, don’t leave. I’m scared…” As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Brennan and Lea fearfully.
Lea smiled wryly. “Alright. You can stay here and accompany him. I’ll buy the milk.” The convenience store was just located downstairs. After Lea bought a packet of milk and returned, Shaun started drinking the milk with relish.
The situation made Lea and Brennan heartbroken. After they exchanged looks, Lea walked up to Cate. “Cate, we have no idea when Shaun will recover. Perhaps he’ll forever be…”
“Aunty Lea, don’t make such a discouraging comment, ” Cate interrupted her even though she was actually at her wits’ end.
