Beep beep.“...”The sound of the heart monitor could be heard continuously.Shaun could only hear a crying voice beside his ears.He struggled to open his eyes and saw Sarah’s tear-streaked face.“Shaunic, you’re awake.” Sarah stood up immediately. Rodney and Chester walked over at the same time.While looking at them, the last scene before he went unconscious flashed across his mind. He blurted out instinctively, “Where’s Catherine?”Sarah’s tear-streaked face stiffened. Rodney said furiously, “You still have the nerve to ask about her? Shaun, you lied to Sarah saying you had a meeting but you went to look for Catherine instead. What were you trying to do? The police checked the surveillance cameras. They said you two had an argument in the car and that’s why you went over the flowerbed, crashing into the wall. The fact that she tried to take control of the steering wheel while you were driving meant that she wanted you to die. The police will investigate her. She’ll be sent
“You won’t lose me.”Shaun sighed in his heart.After the driver sent Sarah back to the villa, Shaun went to the company.He had delayed too much work during the days he was hospitalized.Just as he got in the car, he received a call from the police. “President Hill, excuse me, but there’s a change in the situation. Please come to the police station.”...An hour later.Shaun appeared at the police station.On the chair outside the police station, Catherine had already finished a round of a game. She did not have any make-up on and was completely bare-faced. Her hair was tied into a bun, revealing her pretty, clear face. She looked like a pure and innocent university student.However, Shaun still remembered how she had crazily grabbed the steering wheel and his sensitive parts as well…F*ck, he had been in pain for a few days.“Hi! We’re meeting again so soon.” Catherine waved her hand while smiling.“What did you do?” Shaun walked over in large strides.The police played
Shaun suspected that Catherine was flirting with him again.“Ahem, can you both go outside if you want to flirt?” The police officer coughed lightly with an awkward expression.Shaun glared at Catherine. It was her fault. She knew no shame.“Okay, thank you, Mr. Police. Sorry for disturbing you.” Catherine elegantly walked out of the police station’s door in her high heels.When Shaun followed her out, she showed him her bank account’s QR code. “Scan this.”“...”Shaun noticed that whenever she was with him, his blood pressure would skyrocket. “Wait, wasn’t it 6,800 dollars just now? Why did it become 26,800 dollars now?”“That’s the money for my shoes.” Catherine looked at him as if it was a matter of course. “That pair of canvas shoes were from an international brand. I just bought them recently. It cost 20,000 dollars.”“You hit my face with that shoe, yet you have the audacity to have me compensate you?” Shaun complained.“You could’ve hit me back. Why did you throw it out
Soon, a black sports car approached. Joseph lowered the car window and nodded at Shaun. After that, he drove away with Catherine in his car.Shaun nearly went after them out of anger, but he halted when he recalled Catherine’s words.“Shaun, do you still have me in your heart…”That woman’s voice echoed in his ears.He took out a cigarette and lit it annoyedly.It was impossible. He only had Sarah in his heart.10:00 p.m.The night was silent. Shaun was looking at the latest quarterly report in the study.Sarah was wearing a sexy tank top and slowly hugged him from behind. “Shaunic, you’re taking medications now, right? Let’s try it out.”Shaun’s body tensed. He turned around and could not refuse Sarah when he saw her pleading gaze. “Okay.”Logically speaking, he had a strong reaction toward Catherine last time. He was supposedly okay. However, when he got closer to Sarah, that strong wave of repulsion and disgust resurfaced.“Sorry, I think I’ve not recovered yet.” Shau
Just as Catherine finished speaking, she saw a shadow looming over her.Shaun was glaring at her with a hard expression, and his eyes were blazing.“Who are you on the phone with? Joseph?”She even said the word ‘darling’ and gave a kiss to that person on the other end of the phone.When he thought about her being so intimate with a guy, he had the urge to strangle her.Catherine was shocked. She was talking to Suzie and Lucas. She could never let Shaun discover their existence.“What does it have to do with you?” Catherine took off her earphones in a hurry and wanted to hang up the call. However, she did not know that her frantic actions only made Shaun feel like she was trying to hide something. He snatched her phone angrily and put the call on speaker. “Joseph?”“Shaun…” Catherine’s heart was about to leap out of her throat. She hoped that Suzie and Lucas were quick-witted.“Uncle, who’s Joseph?” A naive, childish voice was heard from the phone.Shaun was taken aback. He
“Yeah, her parents don't really educate her about these things.” Catherine faked a smile and said, “Especially her dad. He has another woman outside and is often not at home.”“Her dad is too irresponsible.” Shaun strangely felt pity for that little girl. “Yes, just like you,” Catherine said, “When I was overseas, I couldn’t help but remember the children we lost whenever I saw my neighbor’s children.”“...”Shaun’s chest felt stuffy. He sneered, “You’re just trying to imply something about me. Why did we get married back then? It was you who had brazenly insisted on getting married to me. If it weren’t for you climbing into my bed, would I have even given you the chance to get pregnant?”Catherine smiled vaguely as she looked at him. “Tell me, then. How exactly did I climb into your bed?”“How do you still dare to bring it up? Didn’t you succeed because you added something to my drink back in Melbourne?” Shaun accused her coldly.Catherine realized it instantly. Sarah’s hypnos
Sarah had a kind and thoughtful image in Shaun’s heart all along.As she cried in front of him, he could not describe the feeling he had inside his heart.There was surely anger, though. Other people might not have known about it, but Sarah should know that the incident was considered taboo to him.However, she still did it anyway.The main reason being he did not make her feel secure enough.As he thought about it, it was true that after Catherine returned, he had been paying Sarah less attention.Besides, Sarah had always silently stayed by his side yet he could not even satisfy her most basic need.As a man, Shaun felt sorry.At that moment, he could not bring himself to refuse Sarah’s humble plea.Seeing that he was remaining silent, Sarah took the initiative more than ever before.Although Shaun’s body was burning up, he still felt repulsed at Sarah’s touch.He could not take it anymore and pushed her away strongly.Sarah fell on the carpet in a mess.“Sarah, I’m sorr
Catherine’s sarcasm infuriated Shaun. “Do you think I wanted to do it? I was set up.”“Ha.”Catherine scoffed. He was once again being a jerk.The hidden meaning in his words was, ‘Do you think I wanted to touch you? I wouldn’t have touched you if I hadn’t been set up. That’s why I don’t have to take any responsibility, and you shouldn’t blame me either.’“Why are you laughing? You must be delighted.” Shaun recalled how much he had yearned for her last night. He was embarrassed.“Delighted?” Catherine rolled up her sleeves speechlessly. She revealed the rings of bruises on her arms caused by someone gripping her with too much strength. “Please, look at this. I have bruises all over my body. Brother, do you not know that you didn’t even treat me like a human last night? I can sue you for this!”Looking at those bruises, Shaun went tight-lipped. Traces of apology welled up in him.“What grudge did I have with you in my past life? Why didn’t you go look for Sarah?” Catherine held b
