“Elder Young Master?” Wesley was taken aback. “Elder Young Master Lyons?”
“Yeah. He’s in a relationship with Melanie,” Joel added, “But I don’t think he’ll actually marry Melanie. Melanie is just muddle-headed. From what I’ve observed, he’s not into her either. That’s not how he should behave if he’s truly in love with her.”
Cate did not say a word, but her head kept buzzing.
Why did Shaun come to the hospital?
Was he here to visit her? Was he outside the ward just now and decided not to enter after seeing Wesley?
It was just her guess. Anyway, it was difficult to understand what was going on in Shaun’s mind.
“By the way, have you sent the car for investigation, Dad?”
She asked the question as it crossed her mind. “That was the new car you bought for me. Why would the brakes fail?”
Joel looked pale. “I called the police, but by the time the police arrived, the car had been completely burnt. Based on the police’s preliminary analysis, the oil of the engine leaked due to the crash and resulted in the explosion.”
Cate bit her lip. “I’m sure that it was the left side of the car that crashed. It couldn’t be an oil leakage that caused the explosion.”
“I’ll ask someone to investigate the matter thoroughly,” Joel said furiously, “I’ll surely kill the person who tried to take my daughter’s life after I find out who it is.”
Cate thought for a moment and said, “Dad, can you ask the police to spread the news to the public that the person who tampered with my car has been found? Then, get someone to seal off the Yule family’s villa and don’t let anyone enter for the time being.”
Joel was stunned. “Cate, are you suspecting that someone from our villa tampered with your car? This is quite unlikely. All the servants in the villa have served our family for more than ten years. They’re loyal and reliable—”
“Dad, I’ve only been to the office and the villa these two days, so these two are the suspected places. I’ll spread the news about it. The person who did this must be someone insignificant. He or she will surely panic,” Cate said seriously, “Just cooperate with me. If I don’t find out who the person is, I might lose my life next time.”
Joel nodded upon listening to her advice.
…
The downstairs of the hospital.
After getting into the car, Shaun slammed the door. He then lit a cigarette and began smoking it.
When Hadley got into the car, the smoke had already permeated the car. “Elder Young Master Lyons, I’ve investigated the accident…”
“Alright, enough of that. Her life has nothing to do with me.”
Shaun started the car and sped off.
With the car traveling like a rocket on the road, Hadley was so scared that he clutched the handle above his head.
Once Shaun arrived at the office, he went upstairs straight away.
Hadley poured a cup of coffee for him. Just as he turned around to leave, Shaun suddenly called out to him, “Stop. What have you found out?”
“…”
What a fickle-minded man.
Hadley looked back and reported to him seriously, “The car was tampered with by someone from the Yule family, and it was the gardener’s doing. He received a sum of money from Brody Jarrett, who took charge of the area in Flagstaff City. As far as I know, Brody and Fergus hang out very frequently. After investigating this matter, however, Fergus seems to have nothing to do with it.”
“That’s unsurprising. Given that Fergus has done a lot of bad things, he’s quite experienced in such things.” Shaun raised his coffee cup and blew on it. “What has Joel found out about this matter?”
“He has gotten the car investigated, but the car is already burnt. What’s more, there weren’t any surveillance cameras at the scene. I’m guessing he won’t be able to find out anything,” Hadley said, “He probably wouldn’t expect the Wicks family to be so cruel.”
“Joel is a decent man, but unfortunately, people like him get tricked far too easily.” Shaun scoffed.
“Elder Young Master Lyons, should I inform Cate—”
“What’s the point of telling her?” Shaun suddenly tossed the coffee cup on the table. “She’s not the one who’s paying you either. It’ll serve the foolish woman right if she dies.”
Hadley was at a loss for words.
“Get lost.” Shaun flew into a temper.
Hadley was well aware of his grumpiness. He then asked someone to follow up on the matter. Sure enough, he received new updates about it at night.
“Elder Young Master Lyons, the Yule family has spread the news that they found out the person who tampered with the car. Now their villa has been sealed off, and even their internet has been disconnected.”
Shaun raised his brows. “Didn’t you say that Joel didn’t find out about what actually happened?”
“Yeah.” Hadley found it a little strange too.
After some thought, Shaun finally understood.
It was just a trap. Joel absolutely would not suspect the Yule family. It was probably Cate’s idea.
Sure enough, that sneaky little girl was quite clever. No wonder she could easily trick him.
He wondered what to do while smoking a cigarette. Despite holding a grudge against her, he felt a tingling sensation deep down that was getting stronger.
He felt like meeting and kissing her. He wished she could help him relieve his stress.
…
The second day after Cate was admitted into the hospital.
At noon, Wesley fed Cate.
Liam came to visit her. Second Young Master Lyons was dressed in a coffee-colored windbreaker and a pair of gray trousers, which were rolled up to show his exquisite ankles. The young masters of the Lyons family were so attractive that they could easily become well-known actors in the entertainment industry.
“What brings you here, Second Young Master Lyons?” A look of astonishment crossed Cate’s face. She had only met him once in the Lyons household, and they did not even talk to each other at that time. Anyway, he was the one who saved her when she met with an accident the other day.
“After all, I was the one who saved you, so I came to see how you’re doing.” Liam’s eyes swept over Wesley.
Wesley stood up and introduced himself, “Hi, I’m Cate’s fiancé. Thank you for saving her that night, Second Young Master Lyons.”
He looked gentle and humble, while his demeanor was neither overbearing nor self-effacing.
Liam was stunned for two seconds. His expression was bizarre. “I didn’t know that you already have a fiancé, Miss Cox.”
Cate replied, “Mm. I’m really thankful for your help that day, Second Young Master Lyons.”
“You’re welcome. I found your driving skills quite amazing.”
Liam winked at her. “Let’s learn from each other one day.”
“Are your driving skills amazing?” Wesley was a little surprised.
“Hmm… My skills were better than usual probably because I was trying to save my life.” Cate shrugged while forcing a smile.
The three of them had a brief chat. After that, Liam bade them goodbye and left.
Silence descended in the ward. Wesley’s brows flashed with a complicated feeling. “Cate, do you regret getting engaged to me in Melbourne?”
“What’s wrong?” Cate was puzzled.
