In the evening.
Cate picked up the two kids from the preschool and went back to the Yule family’s villa.
When she was getting ready to cook soon after arriving home, she suddenly received a call from Joel’s assistant. “Miss Cox, a fire suddenly broke out in No. 36 port warehouse when Mr. Yule went there for an inspection. A cargo fell on his leg and injured him. He has been sent to the hospital.”
Cate was shocked. “Why was there a fire outbreak in the warehouse?”
“The police said that one of the packages in the warehouse had alcohol in it. Because the warehouse has overstocked a lot of goods and the weather has been boiling hot. when the warehouse keeper smoked there, it…”
“I’ll come right away.”
Once Cate hung up the call, the two kids stared at her nervously.
“Your grandpa is slightly injured. You both just wait at home. I can’t take care of you both now,” she said gently.
Just as Suzie was about to speak, Lucas pulled on her. “Listen to Mommy. Don’t cause trouble for her. Mommy has a lot of enemies out there who want to hurt her. Do you want to be kidnapped again?”
Suzie pouted. “Why have we been getting into trouble lately? Is it because someone’s trying to hurt Grandpa?”
Cate pursed her lips. She had her doubts, but she could not express them in front of the kids.
When she arrived at the hospital, Joel was receiving IV infusion on the bed with a cast on his leg. He did not look too well.
“Dad, is your leg seriously injured?” At the thought of his healthy look when he left this afternoon, her heart ached in spite of herself.
“Nothing much. It’s just a minor injury. The doctor said I can remove my cast in a month’s time.” A smug expression crossed Joel’s face.
However, Cate was upset over his condition. ” Dad, why was there a package containing alcohol in the warehouse? Could it be that someone wanted to hurt you on purpose? Also, what was wrong with the warehouse keeper? How dare he smoke in the warehouse. Given your strictness, why did you hire such a person?”
“I’m not very sure as well. ” Joel knitted his brows. ” I have specified the rule that smoking isn’t allowed in the warehouse before this. As for the alcohol in the package— “
“Dad, I suspect that someone’s trying to harm you,” Cate interrupted him. “Otherwise, why would the fire break out just as you were there?
Perhaps the warehouse keeper has been bribed.”
After staying silent for a long while, Joel said, ” Considering how rapid our company has been developing recently, it’s normal for other people to be jealous.”
“No, this is far from normal. You were fine previously, but why did this occur to you at this moment in time? Perhaps you were dragged into the mess because of me.” Cate clenched her teeth and said resentfully, ” Sheryl has long since wanted to take revenge on me because of Rosabella’s passing. Since I haven’t really gone out, she has chosen to attack you.”
Joel’s assistant suddenly said, “That’s possible. Chairman Yule, didn’t you meet Sheryl this afternoon? Could it be—“
“Absolutely not,” Joel interrupted him as his elegant face went pale. “Sherry couldn’t possibly have done such a thing. What’s more—“
“Dad, she’s no longer the Sheryl you knew back then. She’s a wicked madwoman who can even kidnap Suzie, let alone you.”
Cate broke in, saying furiously, “She doesn’t even remember who you are. Don’t expect her to consider her past relationship with you. I reckon she’s planning to take revenge on Titus as well.”
“Cate, drop it. I don’t believe it. ” Joel shook his head. “Today, I went to look for her to tell her that you’re her daughter. I think she somewhat believed what I said.”
“You’re too naive. She’s just a lunatic who can’t even think straight. Yet, you thought you could persuade her.” Cate thundered, “A madwoman like her should really go to hell.”
“Cate… ” Joel warned her in exasperation, “You can’t say that. After all, she’s your mom.”
” I don’t have such a wicked mom.” At the sight of his injured leg, Cate’s eyes filled with hatred. ” She’s foolish and mean. She has been drugged, cheated, tricked, and can’t even tell what’s right and wrong. You shouldn’t look for her anymore.
I’m not keen on being her daughter at all.”
“You…”
Joel was so agitated that his leg kept aching. Knock, knock.
A series of knocks suddenly sounded on the door. They did not know when Shaun had come with some tonics and fruits in his hands.
When Cate saw him, she was rather upset.
“Why are you here?” Joel asked with resentment.
“Uncle Joel, I heard you got slightly injured from an accident. I… came to visit you. ” This was the first time Shaun met Joel after he lost his memory. He could tell that Joel disliked him very much.
However, it was understandable considering those things he had done back then. No parents would like it.
“I don’t need you to visit me. Get out with your stuff.” The sight of Shaun made Joel fly into a fury.
Shaun stood still with his stiff, handsome face. ” Uncle Joel, these are high-quality tonics.”
Joel snorted and said, “We’re not short of money, and we can afford tonics. Eldest Young Master Lyons, you’d better focus your effort on pleasing Minister Mead’s daughter. Perhaps you can soon become Minister Mead’s son-in-law and climb the social ladder.”
Shaun’s face darkened faintly. He subconsciously shifted his gaze to Cate, only to see her nonchalant expression from her side profile, as though the situation had nothing to do with her.
A deep sense of agony welled up in his heart. Did she not care about him anymore?
“Please leave.”
Upon noticing that Shaun had gone silent, Cate turned to look at him. “Since you’ve decided to be with Hannah, you should avoid causing her any misunderstanding. Hannah is petty. If she decides to deal with the Yules out of jealousy, we’re no match for the Mead family.”
She was right.
Sheryl already had wanted to take revenge on her. If Cate offended the Mead family, there was no way she could beat them.
She had to take account of Joel’s and the kids’ safety. “Cate, let’s go outside and have a quick word.” Shaun said in distress, “Once I’m done, I’ll leave.”
Cate hesitated for a while before she walked out with Shaun.
As the wards here were for VIPs, there was barely anyone in the long corridor.
Cate leaned against the window. Her pretty face looked cool and serene.
As Shaun recalled her sorrowful and exasperated expression when he entered the ward, his heart clenched in spite of himself. “Cate, soon, what happened today won’t happen ever again. Give me a little more time.”
Once Wesley’s and Jeffery’s true colors were exposed, Sheryl would discover the truth and forget about taking revenge on Cate.
Upon hearing his words, Cate stared at Shaun earnestly, “Shaun, I don’t want to know what you’re planning to do. We don’t have to meet each other in the future unless it’s about the kids. We can just talk on the phone. Also, you’re not obliged to visit my dad. Please leave.”
Seeing her indifferent gaze, Shaun subconsciously tightened his fists. “I’m not into Hannah. I’m doing this for—“
“I know you have an ulterior motive, ” Cate interjected. “And that’s precisely why you need to keep a distance from me. If you flirt with Hannah while staying in touch with me, your ex-wife, how are other people going to perceive me? If Hannah finds out about it, I’ll suffer the consequences too. “
Stung by her criticisms, Shaun was at a loss for words.
He had no choice but to suppress his feelings as he looked at her. Aunty Yasmine already informed him that she had moved back to the Yules’ house today.
At the thought that he would not see her in the manor anymore, he did not feel like going home tonight.
To him, a place without her felt empty. “I’m going in now.”
With that, Cate turned around and walked into the ward.
Just as Shaun was about to tag along, his phone rang. The minute he saw the name ¡®Hannah Mead’, hatred flashed across his eyes. Even so, he picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”
“I should be the one asking you that.” Hannah replied coquettishly, “Didn’t we agree to have dinner together tonight? Yet, you stood me up at the last minute. Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve gone to visit Joel. Am I right?”
Hannah snorted. “Is it because you still can’t get over Cate? Otherwise, why would you go over there just because something happened to her dad? Shaun, have you been fooling me for the past two days?”
“I’m coming to meet you now, ” Shaun answered.
He cast a look at the door, and his dark eyes drooped. Then, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
That night, Cate kept Joel company in the hospital.
The next day, Joel’s assistant came to give him a report of the situation. “President Yule, according to the police’s investigation, it was a deliveryman who signed the package containing alcohol. The deliveryman claimed that he did not notice the alcohol label at the bottom of the package when he checked it. Then, the warehouse was in flames because the warehouse keeper secretly smoked, and you just happened to arrive at that moment. He was so shocked that he tossed the cigarette onto the floor. In the end, he forgot to step on the cigarette to put it out, which resulted in the fire. However, the police investigated both their bank accounts and detected suspicious money transfers from overseas into their accounts.”
“When did the transfer take place?” Cate asked.
