Chapter 41

After Catherine had her SIM card replaced that afternoon, her phone displayed over ten missed calls.Those calls were made by Freya, Jeffrey, Sally, and many other people.Could it be that they were concerned about her after finding out what had happened the other day?She could not help but feel a sense of anticipation deep down. Regardless of the reason, she still called Sally back.“Mom…”“You’re finally calling me back.” Sally’s furious voice sounded. “How long more do you intend on staying outside? Come home right now.”The phrase ‘come home’ made Catherine feel bitter deep down. “Is that still my home?”“Catherine, if you still don’t come back now, don’t come back forever. We’re not your dad and mom anymore.”Sally hung up once she was done speaking.After some hesitation, Catherine eventually decided to return home. After all, Jeffrey and Sally were the ones who raised her. She also wanted to bring home the recording containing Henry’s words and let them hear it so th

“Serves you right,” Sally spoke in an abrasive manner, “No wonder Ethan dumped you.” Catherine was completely at a loss for words. Even the slightest hint of anticipation in her was crushed. How foolish she was. She should not have come back.The truth did not matter to Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones at all. More importantly, Rebecca was irreplaceable.Dejected, Catherine extended her hand to Sally. “Give me back my phone. I’ll leave. A shameful person like me doesn’t deserve to come back. I don’t deserve to be related to all of you as well.”“Are you planning to continue bringing shame to the family or getting into trouble outside?” Jeffrey scoffed. “You’d better stay home and reflect on your doings. When you decide to be frank, I’ll consider letting you go.” Once Jeffrey finished speaking, he clapped his hands. A few bodyguards subsequently came from the entrance and captured Catherine right away.“What are you guys trying to do? Kidnapping me, huh?” Catherine went mad. Never in

After Shaun got off from work, he went for a meeting regarding an international financial case at night. Having had some alcohol during the meeting, he felt slightly dizzy. The moment he switched on the lights after entering the house, Fudge ran to him. She kept meowing while hugging his leg.“Little one, you missed me so much, huh?”Shaun rubbed her head gently. After a while, he noticed something wrong with Fudge which he could not figure out until she rubbed her nose against the empty bowl.Fudge was probably hungry.Had Catherine not fed her?He immediately poured some cat food for Fudge who seemed to be starving badly.Shaun went to the room to search for Catherine, only to discover that she had not returned. His face darkened.This woman had been causing endless problems. She was previously admitted to the hospital, and now that she was finally back at his house, she left Fudge in such a state.She still had not returned although it was already so late.He took out his

“Maybe not. Freya said that the Jones family is hopelessly biased.”“Alright. I’ll check it out.”Fretful, Shaun then gave Hadley another call. “Find out where Catherine last appeared.”An hour later, Hadley brought him some news. “Miss Jones went to the Jones family’s house three days ago. Shortly after she entered the house, the Jones family headed to the old house located in Pennington using their car. She’s probably there.”“Do you mean that she might be imprisoned?”“Very likely. The Jones family would not go there except for their family worship. What’s more, that place is remote and desolate.” Shaun held his phone firmly. “Come and pick me up. I’m going to visit that place in person.”…Considering that Pennington was a large distance away, Hadley drove for three hours before they reached there.It was already midnight by then. Only when Shaun got out of the car did he realize that the place was eerily desolate. It was surrounded by mountains, and there was no light.

Shaun sent Catherine to the nearest hospital.He clenched his fists while waiting for her outside the emergency room. Around half an hour later, the doctor came out of the emergency room and said, “Was she kidnapped? If she was sent here an hour later, even God wouldn’t have been able to rescue her.” “She has been rescued?” Shaun sighed deeply with relief. A weight had finally been lifted off his heart.“Yes, but her bodily functions have significantly declined. Also, she’s having a persistent fever.” With furrowed brows, the doctor added, “She hasn’t had any water to drink for at least three days, and she probably didn’t eat much rice as well. What’s worse, the rice she had was mostly stale. It’ll likely take her half a month to recover.” Not only was Shaun shocked, but Hadley was also dumbfounded. “Are the Joneses even human?”Shaun’s handsome face fell. “Tell the reporters what happened today so that the world knows the Jones family’s true colors.” “Alright.”…Catherine

“It’s good that you know that. I thought you’re just foolish.”Shaun felt unreasonably irritated to see Catherine skinny like a bag of bones. Harsh words spat out of his mouth. “I’ve not had a day of peace since marrying you. I don’t want to be questioned by the police when you’re dead one day. Do you understand?”“There will be no next time.” She bit her pale lip to stop tears from rolling down her cheeks.A surge of frustration rocked through him. He did not want to keep lecturing her, but she needed to stop making foolish mistakes like this.“Where’s the phone I bought for you? Why was it left behind at the Jones family’s house?”“My mom tricked me into giving it to her.”“You really are a pig.”“You’re right. Please call me Piggy Jones from now on.”“...”The bubble of suppressed laughter escaped from Chase’s lips, softening the tense atmosphere in the hospital ward.“Alright, Shaun, stop crushing her. No one would expect such cruelty from their birth parents.”Catherine

Ethan appeared startled. However, his heart turned cold upon remembering everything that Catherine had done.He admitted that he used to love her, but this woman did not deserve his continuous sacrifices anymore.“I’ll think of something,” Jeffery said. …Catherine was hospitalized for three days. She could not stay for another day longer after spending so much time here recently.Upon returning to Jadeite Bay, she was surprised to see that Fudge had put on some weight. She thought that the cat would naturally become weaker without someone properly looking after it the past few days.When Shaun came home later that night, he overheard her murmuring while feeding the cat. “Fudge, you’ve got to stop eating so much. Look at the size of your belly. It’s as if you’re pregnant with kittens.”The corners of his lips twitched. Fudge’s pregnant belly was getting larger as days passed. He could not keep this a secret for much longer.Anyway, it was still nice to have someone to return h

Before Catherine could finish her sentence, a massive hand suddenly appeared to cover her mouth.Shaun’s hand smelled like dry pine. The faint fragrance was surprisingly soothing.More importantly, his hand was so warm!“Shut up.” The man’s eyes twinkled beneath the lenses of his glasses.She felt her own cheeks burning too. After he removed his hand, she placed the bowl of oat porridge on the desk. “I bet you must be hungry after working all night.”He looked at the oat porridge topped with cinnamon. It certainly looked appetizing.“Catherine, you’re trying to fatten me up, huh?”“No, your body is still in top shape.” She pouted. “I wouldn’t mind even if you’re fat. Perhaps you might consider me if no other woman likes you anymore.”He looked at her, the corners of his lips twitching into a sneer. “Forget it. I can’t afford a woman who frequents the hospital every other day.”“Don’t worry. Soon, I’ll be out there working to provide for you,” she promised.“I dare not rely on

“Remember your promise.” Shaun returned to his bed nonchalantly.Upon getting his approval, Catherine quickly laid out the blanket on the floor next to his bed.The man stayed attentive for a brief moment but soon drifted into sleep.However, sometime later, the woman’s crying woke him up.“Open the door… Please… It’s cold… So dark… I’m scared.”He straightened up from the bed. The moonlight that poured through the window illuminated the silhouette on the ground. The woman who had curled up into a ball was covering her ears firmly. Her entire body was trembling in fear.“Catherine, wake up. It’s just a nightmare.” Shaun stepped out of the bed to peel her hands away.However, she was completely absorbed in the terrible dream. Her terrified face was as pale as a sheet.Left with no other alternative, he pulled her into his chest and gently patted her back.“It’s alright. You’re safe now…”The man’s voice had a calming effect that slowly relaxed the tension in her body.Her sma

“That’s enough. You can attack me but not all women.”“So what if I am?” Shaun replied, looking at Catherine with disdain. “You…” Agitated, she dashed forward to wrap her arms around his neck.He was genuinely shocked by her unexpected and sudden action.Was this woman trying to force a kiss on him? The image of her supple lips popped into his mind. He hesitated for a couple of seconds before he felt a pang of pain on his cheeks.She had just bitten him.He pushed her away forcefully while his hand flew to cover the spot bitten by her.Was she a dog? It freaking hurt.“Catherine, how dare you? Don’t think I’m not going to punish you for this.”The man’s eyes were like flames of fire. Catherine quivered after realizing how ridiculous she acted earlier.“Um... I can explain this. It’s because I… I love you too much,” she said in an exaggerated voice, “Have you not seen it in the movies before? Lead actresses always bite the man they love so much. I was just trying to leave an
