She was already initially scared of him.
His remaining warmth and happiness had all disappeared like bubbles.
“Shaun, calm down. I’m your mother,” Lea said hoarsely with a shaking voice, “What you’re doing now is outrageous. You’ll be cast aside by the whole world.”
“Ha, am I not being cast aside by everyone right now? Why did you give birth to me? You’re the evilest woman in the whole world. You disgust me!” Shaun shouted with all his might. Half of Lea’s body hung in the air, and she was about to fall.
“Are you really going to kill me? You madman!”
“I’m a madman, and you were the one who drove me to the point of insanity.” Shaun was triggered by her again. When he was about to lose control of his mind, he heard Cate’s scream behind him.
“Shaun, no!”
Shaun’s body shook, and his handsome face became pale instantly.
He did not dare to turn around and look at her.
He was afraid that he would see a face filled with contempt and fear.
Tired. He was truly tired.
He felt that his illness was more aggravating each time ever since it recurred. His chest was filled with hostility.
Previously, he could control himself not to hurt Lea. Today, he just could not control himself anymore.
He did not want to be locked up in the eerily white mental hospital again.
There were forever only four sides of the walls there.
No one would care or worry about him.
“Shaunny, come here.” Cate held her breath and walked toward him step by step.
“Enough, don’t come over anymore!” Shaun yelled at her angrily. His handsome face was filled with agony. “I’m sick. I’ll hurt you. Do you know that?”
Cate saw this unfamiliar side of him. Her heart ached as tears spilled out of her eyes. “I’m not afraid. No one was born to be like this. You’re innocent. Those who hurt you are the ones who are in the wrong.”
“Stop talking. I don’t believe you.” Shaun shook his head absently. “My mom lied to me the same way in the past, and she sent me to the mental hospital the moment she turned around.”
Lea’s expression stiffened. “With your condition at that time, if I hadn’t sent you for treatment—”
“Shut up!” Shaun suddenly became agitated. “You were the one who single-handedly caused my illness. Where were you when I was locked up in the closet for three days and three nights? Where were you when I was even stripped of my clothing in the winter and almost died from the cold?”
He became more agitated as he continued speaking, and he was on the verge of losing control again.
Cate was utterly at a loss. At that moment, Chester came to her side with a needle in his hand. “I’m afraid that you’re the only person who can approach him now. Inject this needle in his arm and he’ll faint.”
“But I’ve never injected a needle before…”
“You can do this.” Chester stared at her without budging. “Don’t let Shaun pass the point of no return.”
“…Okay.”
Cate took a deep breath and hid the needle secretly. She moved toward Shaun slowly.
“I told you not to come over. Don’t you understand me?” Shaun noticed that she was nearing him and shouted at her.
“I can’t just stand by and watch you get into trouble!” Cate yelled even louder at Shaun with reddened eyes. “Shaun, you can’t be so selfish. My face was disfigured because of you. Wherever I go, people mock me for being hideous. You said that you wouldn’t be ashamed of me. You promised to give me happiness and that you would even use a lifetime to prove it to me. Is this the way you’re proving it?”
“…”
Shaun looked at her small, tear-streaked face. Suddenly, he was at a loss just like a kid. “I…”
“Do you still not understand? I’ve always loved you. I’ll still like you no matter what you become. I won’t be scared of you because of your past. It’s the exact opposite. I’ll only feel pain for you, and I want to give you warmth for the rest of your life. You’re ill, and that’s fine. I can be by your side. If you can’t recover in a year, I’ll still be with you for a lifetime.”
Cate neared him step by step, and her throat choked. “Similarly, if I’m the one who’s sick, you won’t abandon me, right?”
Shaun was taken aback, and his wild gaze gradually became stagnant.
Cate took the opportunity and jabbed his arm. He turned his head around and looked at her. He did not put up any resistance, and his gaze gradually lost focus.
His hand that held Lea loosened, and he collapsed to the ground.
Cate immediately embraced him and whispered into his ear, “I promise you that I won’t leave. When you wake up, I’ll make roast pork for you.”
Shaun’s eyebrows that were tightly knitted in a frown slowly relaxed. He fell unconscious and looked just like a child who was sleeping soundly. No one could have imagined that he was a sick patient who went insane a moment ago.
Lea sat on the ground after getting rescued. Even after a long time had passed, color did not return to her face.
Liam ran over and helped her up. “Mom, I’ve already contacted the mental hospital. They’ll dispatch a car to pick Shaun up.”
Lea was stunned.
Cate glared at him. “Who told you to make that call?”
Liam said bluntly, “If we don’t send him for treatment, with his current condition, do you want a life to be lost?”
“He’s right. It was so terrifying just now.” Mason held Lea’s hands and said in fear, “I was scared out of my wits. Just a little bit more and he would’ve pushed you over. It’s you this time, but when his illness recurs again, who will be the next…?”
He spoke hesitantly, but Lea was swayed. “It’s better to send him to the hospital for treatment. It’s not like he hasn’t been treated before…”
Cate could hear no more. “Didn’t you hear what Shaun said just now? The fact that you lied to him and sent him to the mental hospital in the past has already left a scar on him. As a mother, you only know how to pass him over to a cold hospital. You don’t deserve to be a mother at all.”
Shame and embarrassment flashed through Lea’s expression.
Liam frowned. “What do you know? If we don’t lock him up, he’ll hurt someone else again. He could even hurt you.”
“That’s my business.”
Cate felt pure anger for Shaun. “Liam, it’s easy for you to say this because it wasn’t you who was locked in the hospital. Since young, you’ve had your parents’ love. Even after growing up, your mother still thinks of countless ways to hand the Lyons family over to you. But what about Shaun? Why did he become mentally ill? It’s because he was locked in the cabinet alone when you three were a happy family. When your parents brought you to travel all around the world, he was deprived of food and warmth because of his nanny’s abuse. It’s fine if you’re all cold-blooded and feel no guilt at all, but can you take pity on him for just a single bit?”
Liam’s expression became ugly from being scolded, and all color drained entirely from Lea’s face.
Cate sneered, “You even told me before this that you felt we shared the same fate. It’s hilarious now that I think about it. You’re just boundlessly greedy. You have everything, yet you wanted to snatch Lyons Corporation which was the only thing that Shaun possessed. He only regained affection from the Lyons family through the help of Lyons Corporation. He cares about you guys, but you bunch of people hurt him every single time.”
“Are you done scolding us?” Liam gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Cate threw a hateful glance at them. “About Shaun’s mental illness being exposed, no one else could be behind this except for you, the Lyons family. We’ll make you pay back this debt.”
She looked at Chester after she finished speaking. “Let’s take Shaun and leave.”
Chester glanced at her in admiration and nodded. He carried Shaun and went downstairs.
“You guys…”
Liam wanted to go after them, but Lea pulled him back. She shook her head sullenly. “Forget it…”
Mason had a worried expression. “But…”
“I should be held responsible for Shaun’s illness.” Lea had mixed feelings.
She had disliked Shaun’s existence all along. It was because of him that she had to marry a person she did not love.
The last time she felt guilt for Shaun was when his illness relapsed when he was eight.
However, later on, she had her career, family, and Liam to take care of. When she finally came around, Shaun had stayed at the mental hospital for a few years and recovered already. He turned cold and ruthless after his recovery, making her despise him even more.
The incident just now made her remember some things from a long time ago.
It turned out that she had left Shaun many wounds.
Indeed, she despised Shaun’s existence, but Shaun hated her for giving birth to him too.
“Liam, let me ask you this. Were you the one who spread the photos?” Lea frowned and asked, “Shaunarah Corporation’s press conference for the microchip is being held tomorrow. The most suspicious person in the Lyons family is your aunt, and the next is you.”
“Mom, I didn’t do it.” Liam was getting angry. “No matter what, I’m still biologically related to him, after all. He was sick from the start, and I wouldn’t go so far as to have no limits.”
Lea rubbed between her eyebrows. She was having a headache. She was aware of what personality her son had.
Was it really Valerie who did it?
“Mom, with Shaun in this state, can tomorrow’s press conference still be held?” Liam asked hesitantly.
Lea glared at him and left. She was going to find Valerie.
…
Chester drove Shaun directly to a private hospital for a check-up and put him on a drip that contained tranquilizers.
In the ward, Cate held Shaun’s hand silently.
