Flushed with embarrassment, Catherine walked forward and slipped her hand beneath the blanket. Her little hand was under the blanket but he could not urinate as she could not see it. “How much longer are you going to take?” Shaun stared at her with a blush.Inwardly determined, Catherine went underneath the blanket.At that instant, the doctor entered. “Mr. Hill, let me check…”At the sight of the situation, the doctor blushed while standing frozen to the spot.“Sorry. I’m sorry. Did I come at the wrong time? I’m leaving right now… Right now…”Catherine swiftly came out of the blanket. She was in a daze. Goodness, did the doctor misunderstand them?“No, Doctor. I was just—”“I got it, and I saw nothing. I’ll come again in a while. You guys may carry on.” With a red face, the doctor averted his eyes. He then immediately walked to the door. Once he reached the door, he could not help but turn around. “I know the two of you are still young, but you’d better do it in moderation.
“What’s the point of calling the doctor? He can’t help reduce my pain either.” Shaun closed his eyes, and his eyelashes curled upward. He let out a moan weakly.He acted as if he was trying hard to endure the pain. That expression, coupled with his pale handsome face, made Catherine subconsciously clutch his hand. “Is there anything I can do for you?”“Are you going to help me?” He opened his dark eyes.“Yeah.” Catherine nodded seriously.“Uh…” Shaun frowned as if he was thinking it over. Then, he casually said, “Why don’t you give me a kiss so that I’ll be distracted?”“...”Catherine widened her eyes, wondering what kind of solution that was.If it had not been for his weak condition, she would seriously doubt whether that was his intention.“If you’re not willing to do it, it’s fine then.” Shaun turned his face away and continued to moan.“No, no. I’m willing to do it.”He was her savior, after all.Catherine summoned up the courage to approach him. She lowered her head a
Catherine finally figured out why everyone had looked at her in a strange manner just now.A moment later, she walked out sulkily with the water she used to wash up. “It’s all your fault. Look at how my lips are after you kissed me. How am I going to live this down?”After glancing at her, Shaun was inwardly satisfied with what he had done. With a pale face, he moaned weakly. “Sorry. That was very careless of me. My body hurt too badly last night, and it was my fault. Tonight, I’ll try to endure the pain and not trouble you.”Considering how feeble the handsome man looked, Catherine could not bring herself to criticize him at that moment.Fine. She had no choice since it was painful for him.When Hadley and Chase came at 9:00 a.m., they were shocked to see Catherine wearing a mask. “Cathy, why are you wearing a mask?”“The hospital is crowded, so I think it’s safer to wear a mask,” Catherine replied with a stern look. “I heard quite a lot of people have been infected with the flu
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Hill. It was our worker’s mistake. Here’s the compensation for Miss Jones and you.”Catherine blinked at the sight of the check worth 300,000 dollars in her hand. Then she glanced at the check worth 100 million dollars that was with Shaun.Damn, what a huge gap in treatment between them both.Although she was not hurt, she experienced severe trauma and nearly lost her life. She was utterly dejected.What dejected her further was that Shaun simply tossed the check on the bedside table. “Okay. You guys may leave now.” “...”“Mr. Hill, do you mind exchanging business cards with me?” The deputy general manager attempted to seize the opportunity to get acquainted with the big lawyer.“I’m tired. See him off, Catherine.”Shaun closed his eyes impatiently.The deputy general manager, who was hardly treated with disrespect elsewhere, felt rather bitter. He instantly walked out with a long face.Catherine embarrassedly saw him off at the door. “I’m sorry. Mr. H
“Yeah, I’m fortunate to have met you. You’re my lucky star, my savior.” Catherine did not feel like arguing with a patient.As soon as she finished speaking, Wesley sent her a WhatsApp message. [I heard from Joseph that something happened to you when you were working. Are you okay? Can I come and visit you? I’m quite worried.]Catherine sighed deep down. Indeed, Wesley treated her quite well. Sadly, there was already no need for her to take revenge on Ethan. There was no need for her to marry Ethan’s uncle as well.She replied, [Thank you for your concern. I’m fine. The renovation progress of the villa won’t be affected.]Wesley: [The villa project isn’t urgent. What matters most is that you’re safe.]“Who are you chatting with?” Shaun asked glumly.“Freya.” Catherine immediately put down her phone. When she told the lie, she did not blush, nor did her heart race.“I thought you were chatting with Wesley, Ethan, and that bunch of people. You’d better not let me find out that y
“Don’t you get it? I’m in control of your body and life. You have no power over your life anymore.”Without further hesitation, Shaun used the hand that was not injured to carry her from the chair.“Shaun…”“If you’re planning to resist, you’d better shut your mouth,” Shaun warned her with a frown.“No. I wanted to ask you to put me down. I can walk back to my room. Your injuries will get worse if you use your other hand to carry me this way,” Catherine responded. She sighed and surrendered to her fate.Shaun was satisfied with how obedient and understanding Catherine was. After he let go of her, she went to the bedroom with him cooperatively.She initially planned to continue with her work after Shaun fell asleep. However, once she was in bed, she was so sleepy that she became sound asleep.The moment Shaun came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth, he saw the woman sleeping like a log on the bed. She had fallen into such a deep sleep that even the saliva from the corne
“...”Shaun’s handsome face froze imperceptibly for a moment.“By the way, what were you going to say?” Catherine asked when she remembered.Shaun snorted in a teasing manner. “I wanted to ask why you weren’t choked to death.”Catherine was at a loss for words, wondering why the man was speaking so cruelly. What piqued her curiosity more was what happened last night. Since the villa belonged to him, he was sure to know. “Last night… Do you know who entered the study and used my laptop? Someone finished my sketches for me.”“Oh. I found a friend to complete them for you last night so that you wouldn’t die of cardiac arrest. Otherwise, I’d need to get a new chef.” Shaun sipped on the glass of milk he was holding. He replied so calmly that he appeared to be talking about the weather. “Well, this is an exception. No more next time.”Catherine was absolutely stunned. She remembered that it was almost 12:00 a.m. when she went to bed last night.He actually managed to call someone to h
The initially strange act of kissing had now become familiar to Catherine.Even her body seemed to have adapted to the kiss.However, she felt her heart race even more madly than before. The kiss came with a hint of sweetness as well.Back then, she was often annoyed at how harshly Shaun spoke. Even so, he had actually helped her a lot. The kiss ended with the growling of her stomach.After running out of his arms, Catherine embarrassedly headed to the kitchen to get some food.Looking at her back, Shaun gave a smile....After breakfast, Catherine contacted Mr. Frank to inform him that she was done with the sketches.Mr. Frank replied that he had gone out for work during the day and asked her to come to Linden Clubhouse at night. His leader happened to be there, so they could discuss the designs together. Catherine used to attend these kinds of social activities quite often when she met her clients.Although she did not feel like going, she eventually agreed to do it. A
