With that, he went downstairs.
A bitter smile spread across Cate’s face. Even without him warning her, she would be too ashamed to be with Wesley again.
She stopped being hopeful about her future partner.
…
After washing up, Cate dragged her aching body down the stairs.
She walked to the kitchen. Upon opening the refrigerator, she was at a loss for words. “There’s nothing else inside except for eggs. What do you expect me to prepare for breakfast?”
“I’ll eat eggs, then.” Shaun was already hungry even though he usually had a poor appetite.
Cate kept quiet for a minute. She then prepared two fried eggs and four boiled eggs.
While eating the eggs, Shaun wondered how she made them. Even the boiled eggs were tasty.
After finishing the eggs, he was unable to get enough of them. He then said, “You prepared very few eggs. It’s not enough for me.”
Cate was speechless.
He must be crazy. Who would have so many eggs in the morning? Overeating eggs would contribute to high cholesterol.
“Fine. I’ll prepare more delicious food tomorrow.”
Shaun rose to his feet and tossed a black card on the table. “Move to a new block this afternoon. I have an apartment there. Melanie and my grandmother know about this place, so it won’t be convenient for you to stay here.”
Looking at the card, Cate forced a smile. Was she his secret lover now? She mocked, “What a blessing it must be to be surrounded with women, Young Master Lyons.”
“Don’t blame me. I gave you the option to get pregnant with my child and I would’ve abandoned Melanie. You were the one who turned it down. Well, you don’t have the chance now.” Shaun took his coat and left without looking back.
Cate sat on the chair for half an hour before she stood up and drove to the police station. On her way there, she bought a contraceptive pill and swallowed it.
Everything went smoothly this time. The lawyer spent only about ten minutes bailing Wesley out.
Wesley was not injured. He just looked haggard as he had not gotten enough rest inside due to excessive worrying.
“Sorry, Cate. I’ve made you worry about me.” Wesley went to her and hugged her tightly.
“Glad that you’re fine.” Cate remained still while feeling bitter deep down. She really had no idea how to initiate a breakup with him.
“Cate, don’t leave me, okay?” Wesley suddenly said beside her ear.
Cate’s throat hurt slightly. With his intelligence, Wesley had actually figured that the incident had to do with Shaun.
“Let’s go home.” Wesley held her hand while walking out.
“Mr. Sanderson, you’ve forgotten to take your personal belongings.” A police officer went after him to return his things to him.
Those things included his phone, wallet, and watch.
After getting into the car, Wesley turned on his phone. Many notifications of messages and missed calls popped out.
He went through them one by one. The moment he looked at a specific photo, his face turned white.
Covering his chest, he suddenly bent over in pain. The phone fell from his palm as well.
“What’s wrong with you, Wesley?” Cate was shocked. She quickly held him up, only to realize that his limbs were trembling. He looked as if he was going to faint.
She clutched his hands, wondering why he was in this state after he looked at his phone.
All of a sudden, she shifted her gaze to the ground, only to catch sight of the photo on the screen. In the photo, she was seen sleeping soundly in Shaun’s arms. Her eyes were closed, and her flushed face seemed to say it all.
What upset her even more was that the date of the photo taken was displayed at the bottom. The timestamp was 3:00 a.m. right on this day.
Cate figured out everything within seconds.
It was Shaun who took the photo and deliberately sent it to Wesley.
As such, there was no way she could conceal what had happened.
“Hurry up and send President Sanderson to the hospital,” she immediately said to the chauffeur.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor quickly performed a medical examination and put a nasal cannula on Wesley.
“You’re his girlfriend, right? Let me remind you that he’s left with just one kidney. Try not to expose him to provocation and stress. He also needs to eat a healthy diet so that he can live longer,” the doctor reminded, “We can only let him relax for now. It can’t actually solve the fundamental problem.”
“Thank you, Doctor.” Cate expressed her gratitude to the doctor before seeing him off.
In the ward, Wesley kept coughing while covering his chest. Cate poured a glass of warm water and brought it close to his mouth.
He froze for a moment before he held the glass. He cast a complicated glance at her that was filled with pain. “Did he force you to do it?”
“Sorry.” Cate was too ashamed to look into Wesley’s eyes. “If you had continued being locked up for a few more days, you’d feel unwell and your company wouldn’t be able to survive as well.”
Suddenly, Wesley smashed the glass of water on the floor. His handsome face emanated fury. “Shaun has gone too far with his power.”
This was the first time Cate saw Wesley filled with so much indignation. Looking at the shattered glass, she was at her wits’ end. “Don’t do this. The doctor said that you must not feel agitated.”
Wesley clutched her hand. After inhaling deeply, he slowly calmed down. “I know you did that for my sake. I’m useless. I won’t blame you.”
He held her so tightly that it hurt her.
Cate knew that his words did not match his thoughts. It would be impossible for any other man who was in his shoes to accept it.
“It’s okay, Wesley.” She forced a smile. “I’m cheap. I don’t qualify to be with you. Also, Shaun keeps trying to suppress you when we’re in a relationship. Can you bear seeing Golden Corporation be ruined because of you? Think about your parents. Considering their old age, all they want is to live in peace.”
“From all you’ve said, you actually have the thought of getting back together with Shaun, don’t you?” Wesley suddenly looked up and cast his eyes on her. His gentle and elegant face was now exceedingly grim. “You’ve never stopped thinking about him. At this point, only he’s capable of bringing you back to the Yule family and kicking Nicola and Melanie out.
Shocked, Cate felt a sense of frustration deep down. If she had wanted to be with Shaun again, she would not have waited until this moment. “So this is how you’ve seen me all this while…”
“…Sorry.” Seemingly struck by something, Wesley wrapped his hands around his head in an embarrassed manner. “Cate, don’t leave me, okay? If you hadn’t offered me hope back then, I wouldn’t be so frustrated now.”
Looking at how fragile Wesley was, Cate felt extremely guilty. As she was well aware of Shaun’s brutality, she had no choice but to say bluntly, “If I continue to be with you, I’ll be the one putting you through hell. You can find a woman who’s better than me in the future.”
“Don’t push me away in haste. Let time decide our relationship, okay?” A bitter smile crossed Wesley’s face.
“…”
By the look of things, Cate could only choose to be silent.
After Wesley was done with the IV infusion, she asked the chauffeur to send him back to his villa.
“Where are you going?” Wesley gripped her hand, unwilling to let her go just like that.
Again, his question was met with silence.
“Are you going to meet Shaun?” Wesley tightened his grip uncontrollably.
She gasped in pain, feeling helpless. “Wesley, go and deal with your company’s matters. We’ll talk to each other later.”
Company…
Wesley stared at Cate in agony for ten seconds before he slowly released his grip.
“Take care…” Cate bit her tongue when she advised him. Then, she turned around and left.
Wesley looked at her departing figure with a strong chill in his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly.
