Catherine immediately embraced him and whispered into his ear, “I promise you that I won’t leave. When you wake up, I’ll make roast pork for you.”Shaun’s eyebrows that were tightly knitted in a frown slowly relaxed. He fell unconscious and looked just like a child who was sleeping soundly. No one could have imagined that he was a sick patient who went insane a moment ago.Lea sat on the ground after getting rescued. Even after a long time had passed, color did not return to her face.Liam ran over and helped her up. “Mom, I’ve already contacted the mental hospital. They’ll dispatch a car to pick Shaun up.”Lea was stunned.Catherine glared at him. “Who told you to make that call?”Liam said bluntly, “If we don’t send him for treatment, with his current condition, do you want a life to be lost?”“He’s right. It was so terrifying just now.” Mason held Lea’s hands and said in fear, “I was scared out of my wits. Just a little bit more and he would’ve pushed you over. It’s you this
The incident just now made her remember some things from a long time ago.It turned out that she had left Shaun many wounds.Indeed, she despised Shaun’s existence, but Shaun hated her for giving birth to him too.“Liam, let me ask you this. Were you the one who spread the photos?” Lea frowned and asked, “Shaunarah Corporation’s press conference for the microchip is being held tomorrow. The most suspicious person in the Hill family is your aunt, and the next is you.”“Mom, I didn’t do it.” Liam was getting angry. “No matter what, I’m still biologically related to him, after all. He was sick from the start, and I wouldn’t go so far as to have no limits.”Lea rubbed between her eyebrows. She was having a headache. She was aware of what personality her son had.Was it really Valerie who did it?“Mom, with Shaun in this state, can tomorrow’s press conference still be held?” Liam asked hesitantly.Lea glared at him and left. She was going to find Valerie....Chester drove Shaun d
Catherine felt bitter. “Yeah, I should resent him. I should resent him for not trusting me in Melbourne, for humiliating me again and again, and for hurting me. Having said that, I couldn’t help worrying about him when I found out that something happened to him. It pained me to learn about his difficult childhood. I fooled myself into believing that I’ve stopped having feelings for him, but I can’t fool my heart. The more I get along with him, the deeper I’m falling for him.”She stared affectionately at the unconscious man on the bed.Let bygones be bygones. From today onward, she wanted to be nice to him.Now that Joel was in a coma, Shaun was her only family member.A look of relief crossed Chester’s face, yet Hadley, who was beside him, looked anxious. “If Eldest Young Master Hill can’t work, how is the press conference on the microchip going to take place? What’s more, news about Eldest Young Master Hill’s mental condition is spreading like wildfire. We must subside the commot
Chester said, “If your illness gets triggered in front of the cameras, Shaunarah Corporation will be dead in the water and your life will be over.”“Stop it.” Shaun’s eyes flashed with grimness. “Have faith in Catherine. She’s not that weak.” Chester took out his phone and clicked the app which was broadcasting a live stream. “Now, let’s see how she’s performing.”The live stream for the press conference held by Shaunarah Corporation that night had garnered over 200 million viewers.Dressed in a black gown, Catherine was giving a speech on stage.It was the first time she appeared in public as Shaun’s wife.Those who had never seen her used to assume that she was a great beauty, considering that the most brilliant eldest young master in Australia fell deeply in love with her. Nevertheless, the minute she appeared in public, everyone was dumbfounded. Shaun even noticed that a lot of the audience kept flooding the comment box.[How could it be? She’s so ugly][Damn, what happe
“...”Catherine’s question was met with silence.“Well, I can finally speak now. Regarding Shaun’s illness, it’s true, but he didn’t hurt his nanny for no reason. This is the medical report regarding Shaun’s treatment when he was eight. He was diagnosed with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder because he had been suffering from abuse for a long time. It’s a fact that he had long been abused by his nanny.”Catherine glanced backstage, and an old video appeared on the monitor.In the scene, a police officer was seen interrogating a middle-aged woman with unkempt hair and wrinkles on her face. “What would you do when he cried?”“I’d take off his clothes and lock him in the closet.”“How long would you lock him?”“Normally one to two days. The Hill family couldn’t be bothered about him, so no one knew. He wouldn’t die after not eating for two days.”The police officer was enraged. “Did you do that in winter too?” “Yes. When I noticed that he would faint at times due to
“...”Amid the increasingly heated discussion, the reporter from Joyfolk Financial Times hurriedly answered, “The Campos family? I don’t have the faintest idea what you’re saying.”“It’s fine. You’ll understand shortly after. As a representative of the media outlet, you rashly spread Shaun’s private photos online and caused him mental harm. I’ve reported the matter to the police, so you might have to go to jail.”Catherine said in a light-hearted manner, “Please take him away, security guards. The police are waiting outside.”Her words scared the reporter out of his wits. The security guards took him away without giving him the chance to speak.With Catherine’s ruthless way of tackling the issue, all the reporters at the venue were not bold enough to speak recklessly anymore. Everyone gazed at the woman in a black dress on the stage. She kept an impassive face and exuded a unique aura of arrogance, which left everyone in terror.Nevertheless, Catherine still smiled faintly at the
Shaun gave a disapproving look. “You’ve already been working for me for a long time. If you couldn’t even get this settled, you shouldn’t even work for me anymore.”“...”Hadley and Chester kept their mouths shut now. It seemed that his wife was the most f*cking awesome person to him. She was the biggest contributor and whom no one could be compared to.…The press conference lasted for three hours.After it ended, Catherine returned to the seaside villa. When the driver opened the car door, she got out and spotted Shaun standing on the lawn by the pool. He wore a pair of soft casual pants and a shirt that was not tucked into his pants like how it usually would. He seemed relaxed like this.A sea breeze blew past his shirt and the black hair on his forehead At first glance, he looked ten years younger than he was. He seemed like a university student, looking pure and clean. However, his skin was too pale.At that moment, Catherine became soft-hearted amid her confusion.She
Shaun headed to the kitchen to get the rice. With a smile, Catherine whispered to Aunty Yasmine, “I know about his condition, but I think it’s better to treat him as a normal person in our daily life. The more cautious we are, the more sensitive and concerned he would feel.”Aunty Yasmine finally understood. “You’re awesome, Young Madam. By the way, Eldest Young Master Hill hasn’t eaten. You have to make him eat later.”Soon, Shaun took a bowl of rice.“Why aren’t you eating?”“I’ve eaten a little. I’m not hungry.” Shaun placed the rice in front of her.“You’re lying. Aunty Yasmine told me that you have a poor stomach, so you need to eat something.” Catherine forced him to sit down. “You must eat something.”“I don’t feel like eating…”“Let me feed you.” Catherine took a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth.“...”Damn. He used to find the taste of shrimps awful, yet why did this taste so good all of a sudden?“Feed me one more shrimp,” he continued to order her after swallow
