Were the two of them always sneaking up to meet behind her back?“Cathy, don’t misunderstand.” Shaun pushed Shelley away subconsciously. “She saw my hand bleeding, so—”“Isn’t that what the nurse is here for? What does it have to do with her?” Catherine interrupted him angrily. “Since you can’t bear to leave her so much, why are you still pestering me? Is it fun?”Shaun’s handsome face instantly turned a nasty shade of white. It was unknown whether it was because he had lost too much blood or because he was stabbed by her words.Shelley hurriedly explained, “Young Madam, Eldest Young Master Hill’s words are all true. Look at his hand, it’s still bleeding…”“Shut your mouth.” Catherine snapped at her. “Shelley Langley, I’ve tolerated you for a very long time. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”She suddenly rushed over and seized Shelley’s long hair, slapping her on both cheeks.“Ahhhh! Young Madam, don’t hit me! Eldest Young Master, help me!” Shelley cried out and struggled as she
“Yes, twins, but it’s precisely because they’re twins that it’s even harder to keep them,” the doctor said in exasperation, “You adults need to pay more attention. If the accident hadn’t happened in the hospital today and she didn’t get medical treatment in time, the fetuses would’ve surely been lost. Whether or not her miscarriage can be prevented will depend on how things progress later.”“Thank you, doctor.”Shaun suddenly felt a burst of fear.He and Catherine had been ready to have a child together, but nothing had happened between them ever since Shelley appeared. Furthermore, the doctor in Melbourne had also said that it would be difficult for her to conceive with her body’s condition, so never thought much about it.However, she was actually carrying his babies now.They were twins.However, the damn thing was that the babies might be lost.He felt like he had fallen from heaven to the ground.“Rodney Snow!” Shaun punched Rodney’s face in anger.“How would I know that
Shaun walked to the bed and looked at her with a gentle gaze. “Cathy, there’s really nothing going on between Shelley and me. The nurse who poked me with the needle caused my hand to bleed, and Shelley pushed the nurse away when she saw the scene upon coming in. That’s why you saw what you saw earlier. Don’t get angry. You’re a mother now.”Catherine sneered.He was blaming her for being small-minded even after she had become a mother.He was pinning the blame on her now.“Aunty Yasmine, could you bring my phone over?” She did not want to talk to him.Aunty Yasmine handed her the phone. Catherine sent a message to Freya and started to play a game, not looking at Shaun at all.Shaun sat for a while until he was driven out by the doctor to go to the next room for the IV drip.Hadley came in with a pile of documents, but Shaun swept them away. “I’m not in the mood to read these now. Go buy me some pregnant women guidebooks.”Hadley was having a headache now. “No, these documents a
“You won’t leave me with nothing? You’ll give me some money? When we first got married, you clearly told me that I wouldn’t get a single dime.” Catherine laughed.Harvey was shocked and sneaked a look at Shaun. He thought that Eldest Young Master Hill was a magnificent lover, but holy crap! It turned out that he was even worse than the scumbags outside. He was the richest man in the country yet he refused to give a dime as alimony.That was too stingy.Shaun felt the man’s disdain toward him and his expression instantly went dark. He took out his wallet from his back pocket and threw it at her. “Fine, I’ll give you all my money from now on, okay?”“No thank you. There are only a few men who put money in their cards these days. Most of them use the money for investments.” Catherine did not even glance at him.Shaun could not win against her and could only say to Harvey, “Give those documents to me. I’ll handle them.”Right at that moment, Hadley staggered when he heard the words.
“Be good. This is an extraordinary time in our lives. It’s for the sake of our little darlings.” Shaun picked her up and helped her put the pad on.During the whole process, Catherine wanted to smash her head and kill herself.When she returned to bed, her whole face was as red as the fruit on the table.She became annoyed by the sight and wanted to eat one, but Shaun immediately got up again when she grabbed the knife to cut the fruit. “Sit down. I’ll do it.”In short, Shaun stayed in the ward the entire afternoon and evening. Catherine was not allowed to touch anything. All she was allowed to do was lay down, lean back, and sleep.As a result of sleeping too much, she woke up at 6:00 a.m. the next day.When she opened her eyes, she found that Shaun was sleeping on the same pillow as her. She did not know when he squeezed up to her last night.Her anger flared when she remembered the image of how Shelley had grabbed his hand yesterday.However, the man’s clean appearance when
“Alright, Shaun, calm down. Doctor Lyles is already the best expert in this field in the country,” Chester spoke up.“How am I supposed to calm down? I couldn’t even bloody remember that my wife is pregnant. Is it possible that I won’t recognize my wife tomorrow?” Shaun’s face showed his irritation.Doctor Lyles’ lips moved but he did not say anything for a long time.Even so, Shaun could guess that he was right.He sat up angrily and smashed the items on the bedside table.“Shaun, calm down.” Chester and Doctor Lyles came forward to try and stop him, but Shaun pushed them away.Catherine bit her lip and went forward. “Shaun Hill, are you trying to scare the two children in my belly?”Shaun froze and looked at her stomach, curling his fists in pain. “I’m sick. Maybe I wouldn’t even recognize them if they stood in front of me in the future.”“That won’t happen. I’ve already gotten news about Nyasia abroad. As long as we find her, I have a way for her to cure you.” Chester patted
“Are you in the manor today? The grapes in the residence are ripe, so I’ll send some over to you and check on you as well. It’s not like you’ll come see an old woman like me if I don’t go to you first.”“Grapes are good. If a pregnant woman eats more grapes, maybe the babies will have bigger eyes in the future,” Shaun mused thoughtfully.“What… What did you say?” Old Madam Hill stuttered in shock.“It’s exactly what it sounds like. I’m going to be a father.” The corners of Shaun’s mouth curled up. His tone was as delighted as it could be as he continued, “They’re twins.”“Shaun Hill, why didn’t you announce such important news before now?” Old Madam Hill’s voice almost deafened him.Twins! Oh, God!The Hill family had never had twins before.Old Master Hill, who was reading the newspaper with his presbyopic glasses, also sat up and perked up his ears.“Why should I tell you? I thought you didn’t like Catherine.” Shaun crossed his legs. “If I told you earlier, you’d just make he
He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.Catherine originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Hill’s words. She nodded in agreement. “I’m willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right.”“That’s right.” Old Madam Hill gave her an approving look.For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Catherine.Shaun’s heavy eyes rested on her little face.He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.“I disapprove.”“It’s useless for you to disapprove,” Old Master Hill ordered, “In any case, the first twins of the Hill family must be born healthily.”Shaun, “...”Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Catherine. “You did that on purpose.”“Yeah.” Catherine looked up and said righteousl
