Looking at Shaun’s handsome face, Cate was too hesitant to tell him that she was about to go out again.
“Come down and play with me.” Shaun extended his hand to pull her through the window.
“Uh… Shaunny, I just received a call and I have to go out again, ” Cate said reluctantly, ” It’s quite important.”
Against all her expectations, Shaun did not kick up a fuss. He just blinked his eyes in despair. “More important than me?”
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red. It felt as though he would be in tears if Cate said yes.
Speechless, Cate replied with a gentle tone, “Of course, you’re more important, but I can’t stay by your side all the time. Look, there are so many people in our family. I need to make money to support our family and also buy sweets for you.”
“You can ask for money from my mommy. She gave birth to me, so it’s right to spend her money. I don’t want to spend your money,” Shaun said seriously after some thought.
Deep down, Cate took pity on Lea. Feeling amused, she responded, “But I need to make money to pay for Lucas and Suzie’s school fees.”
“You can ask their daddy to pay. ” Shaun snorted. ” Why must you shoulder the burden alone?”
Cate choked.
¡®Dude, you’re Suzie and Lucas’s daddy.’
Speaking of this, how did he learn that parents had to share their responsibilities together when she had only been away for a while?
“Where did you learn this from?” Cate was baffled as she remembered that she did not teach him this.
“I learned it from the TV when I watched it with Granny just now.”
Cate rubbed her forehead.
Old Madam Lyons was watching those campy family dramas that had no substance again. She first led Suzie astray, and now, Shaun was affected as well.
“Their daddy… was injured due to an issue, so he can’t share the burden, ” Cate explained tactfully.
Shaun blinked and gazed at her for a while before he said softly, “Cate, you’re really pathetic. You married such a terrible husband.”
Cate was speechless.
¡®I really hope you’ll still remember what you just said when your memory is restored.’
“Anyway, I need to make money even if it isn’t for the kids. Women need to spend money on personal care products, clothes, and many other things,” Cate said, “Don’t tell your mom to give me money.
It’s okay for her to support you, but it’s unreasonable for her to support me because we’re not related by blood.”
Her words left Shaun feeling stunned. “Then… Let me support you, but I don’t know how to make money. Well, I can tag along and learn how to make money like you.”
Once he finished speaking, he opened the car door and got in. “Bring me along. From today onward, I want to learn how to make money and support you.”
Cate was touched, but she felt like crying at the same time.
She was not going to work. She was going to look for Jeffery and Sally to add insult to injury.
Since Shaun had gotten in the car, she could not bring herself to kick him out. Hence, she said, ” Later, you have to follow what I say, okay?”
“Mm. I’ll listen to you.” Shaun placed his hands on his lap, acting like a good kid.
A smile crossed Cate’s face. She approached him to put on the safety belt for him.
When the scent of her hair happened to waft past the tip of his nose, his heart raced madly.
When Shaun lowered his head, Cate retreated a little with her profile facing him. There were two strands of curly hair framing her fair cheeks, and he had a clear view of her elegantly thin neck as well.
All of a sudden, he found his mouth slightly dry. He was tempted to bury his head in her neck and kiss it.
“I’ve fastened it. ” Cate looked up out of the blue.
When their eyes met, his gaze was burning fiercely.
Cate was stunned for a moment before she poked his thin lips amusedly. “Tell me, what were you thinking just now?”
Upset, Shaun bit his lip. He was rather embarrassed, but he answered her honestly, “I wanted to kiss your neck.”
Cate’s face instantly turned crimson as she did not expect him to be so frank.
“Why did you have such a thought? I was just fastening the seat belt for you, yet you started to overthink it.” She stared at him with coquettish eyes, which made his heart tickle.
Shaun gulped and fixed his eyes on her.
Cate rubbed her head. “I’m in a rush now. I’ll accompany you tonight.”
“Oh.” Shaun was confused even though he was unsure of what she actually meant by ¡®accompany’. Anyway, he was glad that she would accompany him.
40 minutes later, the car arrived at the car park of the hospital.
Cate brought Shaun to take the elevator while holding his hand. When she arrived at the ward that Hadley had told her, she happened to spot a few police officers inside.
Sally was accusing Cate amid her tears. “It must be Cate, that wicked woman, who did it. No one would do such a thing except her. She hates us. She said that once we’re dead, our assets will be hers.”
“Yeah. It’s her doing. Go and investigate it right now. She must have hired people to do it.” Jeffery went along with what Sally said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cate dashed in with reddened eyes.
“Dad, Mom, are you both okay? I got a fright when I learned that something happened to you both.” Cate looked extremely anxious.
The police officers were stunned. Sally was so exasperated that she wanted to sit up. Nevertheless, the second she moved, her tailbone hurt very badly. “Cate Cox, how dare you come?! Officer, it was her doing. Hurry up and arrest her! “
The police officers were baffled. ” I heard her call you ¡®Dad’ and ¡®Mom’.”
“I… I don’t acknowledge her as my daughter.” Sally nearly let out that Cate was not her daughter.
“Dad, Mom, it’s good that both of you are fine.” Cate sighed gloomily before she turned around and said to a police officer, “Officer, please find out who hurt my parents. Seeing the state they’re in now really breaks my heart.”
The police officer’s mouth twitched. “But they’re claiming that you did this.”
“Me?” Cate was dumbfounded. “They’re my biological parents. How could I possibly have done such a crazy thing?”
“You’re crazy! ” Sally roared.
“My parents have always disliked me.” A glum look washed over Cate’s pretty face. “They dislike the fact that I’m a girl. They kicked me out of the family long ago. When I paid my respects to my cousin today, they chased me out of the funeral parlor. The person who called the police is my assistant. I asked him to wait for my parents in the parlor and send them home afterward. Who knew they would encounter that kind of incident?”
Hadley immediately said, “Yes. She asked me to stay there. I wanted to help out, but there were too many people.”
The police officer knew Hadley. After watching the video of the scene, the police officer was convinced.
“In this modern era, both of you still have such outdated attitudes, huh?” The police officer glared at Jeffery and Sally.
Sally was livid. “No, we don’t. Clearly, it’s…”
“By the way, officer, my cousin offended quite a lot of people previously…” Cate interrupted Sally. Then, she bit her tongue before she continued.
Sally was filled with resentment. “The cruelest person she ever offended is you.”
“Mom…” Cate’s eyes were red. “Am I your biological daughter or is it Rosabella? Dad and you were injured when you mourned for Rosabella in the hall, so I just want to find out who attacked you. But why do you keep turning against me?”
“How can you compare yourself to Rosabella?
Rosabella got your dad and me out of jail, yet you were the one who sent us to jail, ” Sally responded in a huff.
Cate said righteously, “Would I have done so if you both hadn’t killed Granny? Granny had treated me well since I was young. Between justice and kinship, I had no choice but to pick the former.”
“They killed your granny?” The police officer’s eyes became sharp. Her granny was her injured father’s biological mother, was she not?
Since he could sink so low as to kill his own mother, was he even human?
