Shaun dropped his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
He never thought that she would forgive him so easily after such a hurtful experience.
She must think that he was very shameless. He claimed that he would protect her, but in the end, he could not do it.
An intense heartache gripped his heart.
His hand trembled violently again as if he was about to lose control.
“Stop the car.” He suddenly gave the order.
Hadley immediately pulled over.
“Send her to the hospital. I’ll go to the car behind for a smoke.” Shaun quickly got out of the car.
Hadley looked at him before he pulled the car away.
Cate looked through the rearview mirror to see Shaun get into the car behind.
She then laughed and said, “Hadley, I stink. It must be hard to endure it.”
She really did reek. The cellar’s environment was quite disgusting, yet she ate, drank, and slept in that space every day. Furthermore, she could not shower. Even she could not stand the stink that permeated the car.
Hadley hurriedly explained, “Miss Cox, you misunderstood. Eldest Young Master…”
He hesitated. He could not tell her that the Eldest Young Master was sick and needed to go to the other car to take his medicine or maybe to… harm himself again.
“You don’t have to explain it to me. I know.” Cate found it funny how Hadley was trying to find an excuse for Shaun but could not.
Hadley was helpless.
She might not understand how much the Eldest Young Master cared about her.
…
After arriving at the hospital, Chester arranged for the top doctors in the hospital to perform a detailed physical examination on her.
In the ward, the results came out very quickly.
Chester looked at the emaciated woman on the bed who was given saline and sighed with pity. “All the indicators are not up to standard. Hypoglycemia, anemia, dehydration, malnutrition, and peptic ulcer.”
Cate nodded. Her body was her own. These days, she often vomited and passed out from all the stomach pains she had, so she knew all that.
Shaun clenched his fists. He knew that she was not in good health, but now she was even worse.
“Ahem, Cate, you should rest first.” Chester suddenly said to Shaun, “Come with me to get the medicine…”
“Doctor Jewell, you can say anything in front of me, even if it has to do with my face…” Cate smiled at him. “You don’t have to hide it from me.”
Chester looked at her sympathetically. “Alright, to be honest, the fester on your face is really serious, and the area is quite large. I’ve consulted several top cosmetologists, and they’ll do as much as possible to repair you, but… it won’t be a perfect recovery.”
“Doctor Jewell, can you go into more detail?” Cate looked at him.
The more Shaun saw how calm she saw, the more his heart ached. “There’s no need to ask him. If the technology here isn’t enough and you can’t be fixed locally, we’ll go overseas. The beauty technology in Australia isn’t world-class.”
“I don’t want to have cosmetic surgery for a new face.” Cate interrupted him.
Shaun wiped his glasses. “There’ll be scars and unevenness.”
“I understand.” Cate nodded and leaned back on the pillow. “Thank you.”
“I’m sorry. But technology is developing very fast now, so you don’t have to give up hope.” Chester comforted her.
“It’s okay. It’s actually better this way.” Cate had a faint smile on her face since the beginning, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was no longer hopeful. She had given up and resigned herself to fate. She no longer cared.
Shaun’s eyes dimmed, and he said to Chester, “Why don’t you go out first?”
“Okay.” Chester closed the door as he left.
Shaun walked to her bedside and held her hand tightly. His dark eyes were serious. “No matter what you look like, I don’t care. I love you, not your face.”
“Is that so?” Cate looked at his freshly changed clothes. “Don’t lie to yourself. You just gave me a hug earlier, but you’ve already changed your clothes. Shaun Lyons, you’re really a clean freak, you know that?”
“No… That’s not it…” For the first time, Shaun felt like a child. He was at a loss.
He could not tell her that he had hurt himself because his sickness acted up again. He had to change into clean clothes because his clothes were covered with blood.
If she knew he was sick, she would be even more afraid of him.
“You’re not very good at explaining yourself,” Cate said teasingly. “Shaun, I’m actually not sad that my face is disfigured. In fact, I’m glad. It’s a good thing. Now that I’m so ugly and disgusting enough to make people puke, can you still sleep beside me? We should just part on good terms now. At least grant me this last dignity.”
Shaun was infuriated.
She wanted to leave him so badly.
“Cate, I’m not as superficial as you think. I’ll prove it to you right now.”
He forcefully pulled her into his arms and sealed her lips with his burning ones.
Her lips were dry, and her face still smelled bad due to the wound.
To be honest, even Cate could not stand herself.
However, this man held her like he was holding his beloved woman. His kiss was gentle and sorrowful.
Shaun kissed Cate until she was breathless.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. His buzz-cut hair and his long butterfly-wings-like eyelashes made his handsome face very masculine. He looked better than the male stars in Korean dramas.
When the kiss ended, his lips gently fell on the wound on her cheek like a feather. The gentle kisses gave Cate a strong impression.
It was as if he really loved her enough to not care about her appearance.
However… How could that be?
How many of such men existed in this world?
Especially a man as handsome as he was. Even if he was no longer the one standing on the top of the pyramid, a lot of women were still willing to throw themselves at him.
“That’s enough.” Cate turned away and lowered her dark eyelashes. “Eldest Young Master, it must be very tiring to force yourself this way. You’ll end up vomiting in the washroom later.”
“It doesn’t matter. I have a lifetime to prove it to you.”
Shaun kissed her forehead. “Chester said you can’t eat solid food right now because your stomach can’t digest it. I’ll get a bottle of warm milk for you.”
He got up and went to the kitchen.
The door to the ward was pushed open, and Mireya immediately rushed in.
“Cate, Shaun told me that you’re hospitalized…” When she saw Cate’s face, she screamed in disbelief. “Why is your face…”
“Oh, it’s ruined.” Cate smiled at her.
“What the hell happened? I couldn’t reach you at all these days. I even called the police.” Mireya suddenly started to cry.
“Why is God treating you like this? You were so beautiful, the most beautiful one in school. Boys looked at you no matter where you went…”
“Enough. I didn’t call you here to talk about things that would make her sad.” Shaun handed Cate the milk and interrupted Mireya coldly.
Mireya became infuriated at the sight of him. The fire in her eyes burned. “I don’t even have to guess. You must have something to do with why she ended up like this. To think that you’re the richest man in Australia. If you ask me, you’re just a piece of trash who can’t even protect a woman. What’s the point of you having one? You should just spend your entire life alone.”
“Mireya…” Cate was a little anxious. Although she found Mireya’s rant refreshing, she was afraid that Mireya would offend him.
