Shaun hesitated for a moment before he responded, “Alright. Thanks, then.”
“Not at all. We’re buddies.” Rodney touched his nose awkwardly. “By the way, how have you been lately? You still can’t recall your past?”
“…Not really.” Shaun was quiet for a moment before he continued, “At times when I’m asleep, I will dream about some scenes. At first, I thought those were just dreams, but they felt familiar. It feels as if I’ve experienced them.”
“What kind of dream?” Rodney asked hurriedly.
“It seems related to Cate and me. After I get up, the memory becomes a little hazy, but I’ve been dreaming about it often lately, ” Shaun said.
“That’s pretty good. Perhaps your memories will recover real soon.” Rodney was now convinced by Shaun’s words.
“I have no idea. Don’t tell your wife yet, lest she tells Cate about it. I hope to give Cate a surprise when I’ve recovered all my memories. But… it might be quite tough.” Shaun felt powerless.
“It won’t be tough. Be confident.” Rodney encouraged him.
After he hung up, he quickly gave Sarah a call and told her about Shaun’s condition.
Sarah said softly, “That’s a sign of recovery. If he can recall his dreams when he’s awake, it means that his memory is gradually being restored.”
Rodney was overjoyed. “How long will it take?”
“As I said, it’ll take around one month. But if he dreams frequently, he’ll be able to get an impression of those scenes. That way, his memory will be restored even sooner.”
“Will he also recover memories of him meeting Cate in Melbourne?”
Sarah answered, “Mm. I was too careless back then. In fact, once a man changes his mind, there’s no point forcing him since he doesn’t like me anymore. I think it was really my mistake. I should’ve helped people with my knowledge in psychology rather than hurt them.”
“Don’t say that… Everyone makes mistakes.” Rodney took pity on her. “What matters is that you learn from your mistakes. Shaun knows that you’re back, and he has been looking for you. You’d better hide, and don’t ever step out of the house.”
” I will. I’m just… quite worried about you.” Sarah was worried. “If they find out that you’re hiding me, you guys will have a blazing row. I’m afraid Mireya will be furious too. Given that she has always hated me, she might divorce you.”
“But… I can’t let something happen to you. You should just stay there for now. When Shaun has recovered a month later, I’ll take you out to explain to them and beg for mercy.” Rodney comforted her.
“What if… they don’t forgive me?” Sarah asked.
Rodney was distressed. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you anyhow.”
In the main office building.
Mireya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the cars below her feet.
Her eyes flashed with a hint of unspeakable confusion.
Her mind was in a mess. She probably started feeling this way after learning that Rodney lied to her yesterday morning.
As such, she could not help but call Cate. ” When I had breakfast with Rodney this morning, we talked about Sarah, and I felt that his attitude was strange.”
“What was strange about him? ” Her words made Cate uneasy.
“He wasn’t as… disgusted as he used to be. It felt like he was trying to avoid the topic. But I can’t put my finger on what it is.” Mireya slid her finger over the window, not knowing why she did so, just like her mood at that moment.
“Could it be that you’re overthinking it?” Cate fell silent for a moment before she comforted Mireya, “Sarah has done a lot of evil deeds in the past. She even cuckolded Rodney and humiliated him. No man can forgive her.”
A thought struck Mireya’s mind. “Yeah. Whenever we used to mention this woman, he would make no pretense of resenting her. But today… I didn’t see it on him. He kept lowering his head.”
Cate could not deny Mireya’s thoughts. As women, they had very keen senses when they were with their partners.
“One more thing…” Mireya continued uncomfortably, “As you know, he was on a business trip earlier. Yesterday, a friend of mine spotted him in Canberra in the morning, but he lied that his flight was around five or six in the evening. He only returned home at night and had even changed his clothes. I went to his office yesterday, but he wasn’t there or at Osher Corporation. I don’t know why he lied to me…”
“I suspect… he’s hiding Sarah, ” Cate voiced out the thought that she did not wish to be true.
Mireya instantly felt as if she was plunged into a deep abyss. She kept falling but could not reach the end. The feeling of being lost was miserable.
After a while, she muttered, “Maybe I am overthinking things. He might have something else to deal with.”
She did not believe that she was so unlucky.
In her first relationship, she was betrayed. Just as she planned on getting married in her second relationship, it turned out to be a mess.
Rodney claimed that he loved her.
In fact, she had only agreed to marry him because she found it blissful to be loved by him.
“Yeah, that’s possible.” Cate understood Mireya’s feelings and consoled her, “What’s more, this one time doesn’t mean anything. It could be a misunderstanding, or he did something that he doesn’t want you to know. It’s impossible for all married couples to be completely honest with each other. This happens to Shaun and me as well. How about you keep an eye on him and see what happens?”
“By the way, he said he’ll get Snowden members to hunt Sarah down.” Mireya felt better after hearing Cate’s words.
“Let’s hope that we can find out Sarah’s whereabouts as soon as possible.” Cate said, ” After checking the footage of the surveillance camera, we can confirm that Sarah is back in Canberra. But she seems to have vanished into thin air. Shaun suspects that she’s staying in an old residence that doesn’t require any identity documents. He’s trying to look for her by targeting those areas.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t overthink things. We’ll handle this issue. “
As soon as Cate hung up the call, she happened to spot Shaun’s car entering the manor.
He soon went upstairs and hugged her from behind. “Cate, I just dropped Lucas and Suzie at preschool. Their teacher said that there’ll be some Halloween activities in a few days and asked us to join.”
“Their preschool really does have quite a lot of activities.” Cate sighed.
“This will enhance our relationship with the kids. There’s nothing bad about it.” Shaun kissed Cate’s cheek. “What’s more, Suzie loves bragging the most. Every time we go to her preschool, her classmates will always say that we’re the most good-looking parents. I reckon it’s not possible to find a greater match than us in Australia.”
If he had said this back then, Cate would have teased him by asking, “Are we a couple?” However, she was not in the mood today. “Who’s in charge of Snowden right now?”
Shaun was momentarily stunned. “It seems like ever since Dani was born, Uncle Nathan has handed power over to Rodney. Why are you suddenly asking me this?”
Cate frowned.
During her conversation with Mireya, she doubted whether Rodney was actually hiding Sarah even though he claimed that he would get Snowden members to hunt her down. If he meant to hide the truth, he would definitely keep it a secret from everyone, which would make finding Sarah more difficult.
“Nothing much. Mireya said that Rodney will get Snowden members to hunt Sarah down.”
“Oh. Speaking of this, Rodney called me this morning as well,” Shaun said.
“What did he say?”
Shaun darted a strange glance at her. “As you know, I’ve planned to ask Prime Minister Snow for help if I can’t find Sarah. But Rodney said he was worried that the people in Canberra would hazard guesses and panic and that he could get Snowden members to assist me. After some thought, what he said makes sense.”
Cate went quiet, and her brows furrowed.
“Darling, what’s the matter?” Shaun turned her body around. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m just wondering if we can trust Rodney regarding Sarah’s matter.” Cate suddenly said, “If he’s hiding Sarah, getting Snowden members to look for her might only keep her hidden.”
Shaun froze. “Are you kidding me? Didn’t you tell me that Sarah hurt Rodney very badly?”
“Yeah, but he loved her very badly too. Of course, I don’t wish for it to be the case. After all, Rodney is Mireya’s husband. I just think that we should keep an eye out on him.”
“Keep an eye out on him?” Shaun’s face darkened. “Anyway, I have to hunt Sarah down. If Rodney defends her, I’ll cut off my relationship with him.”
“I’ll handle this issue.” Cate sighed. “Just forget about it. After all, I could be overthinking things, and it’ll be unfair to Rodney.”
Feeling helpless, Shaun pinched her cheeks. “Cate, letting you handle the issue will make me seem useless.”
“Who said you’re useless? You’re quite good in bed.” Cate lowered his head with delight. “I want more….”
“Go away. I need to go out and deal with something.”
…
In the next few days, Rodney went home on time.
At times, he even dragged Mireya to accompany Dani for a walk after dinner.
