“…”

Cate’s clenched fists trembled above her knees. She tried so hard to stop herself from tearing up. “Your parents… Mireya and I have sent them over to Melbourne. Your dad’s health isn’t the best right now and your mom needs to look after him. They probably won’t come back to visit you often.”

“Thank you, Cate.” Charity expressed genuine gratitude. “We’ve not known each other for a long time, but I didn’t think you’d help me so much.”

“No, it’s my fault for getting you in here. If I hadn’t looked into Shelley’s identity, she wouldn’t be locked up by Shaun and be burned alive by the murderer.”

“I don’t understand why someone would do this to me.” Charity’s eyes revealed intense rage.

“Is it Sarah?” Cate looked at the woman. “I know she’s alive.”

“I thought about that as well. But she didn’t boast about this the last time she came so I don’t think so.” Charity shook her head as a complicated expression took over her face. “She did say she wanted to steal Shaun from you and the position of Mrs. Lyons. You should watch out for her.”

Cate was startled. It appeared that her hunch was right. “Really? She doesn’t act that way in front of Shaun and his friends.”

“She’s always been this two-faced.” The corners of Charity’s lips twitched. “The three of them spoil her like a princess.”

Cate scoffed. “I know. Oh right, did you know before this that Sarah wasn’t dead? She even became the world-famous psychologist, Nyasia. She’s the one treating Shaun at the moment.”

Charity looked genuinely shocked. “I really thought she was dead. Several years ago, she left to study abroad in Country M. She got kidnapped when she went to the forest with her friends. All of her friends were dead and the women had been… raped. But she survived. Why didn’t she contact her family or even Shaun? Instead, she lived in secret to become a famous psychologist. Something’s not right about this.”

Cate’s brows furrowed upon hearing the story of Sarah’s disappearance.

All of a sudden, Charity said, “Cate, give up if it’s exhausting. You’re all alone with no help. I’m worried you can’t compete with Sarah and will end up losing everything in the end.”

Cate fell deep into thought.

Of course, she had considered giving up as well.

However, her heart felt an intense pain every time she thought about giving up Shaun to someone else, or when she imagined the image of him and Sarah being intimate.

Why should she have to give him up? He was her husband.

The father of her children.

Charity sighed looking at her. “I think you shouldn’t let her treat Shaun. It’s a long process and he has to spend a lot of time in his ex-girlfriend’s company. Sarah will surely create trouble at every chance she gets. You might not be able to handle her especially now that you’re pregnant.

Cate smiled bitterly. That was exactly how things were going.

Before leaving, she turned around and said to Charity seriously, “No matter what happens in the future, I’ll always be your friend and you’ll never be alone.”

Charity was startled and baffled. It was not until Sarah came to see her not long later that she finally understood the truth.

…

Afternoon.

Cate was surprised to see Shaun when she returned to the villa. He was sitting on the couch in the living room.

She walked straight to the stairs without looking at him.

“Cate, wait.” He rushed over to grab her hand. “I got the kitchen helper to bake a cake. Why don’t you have some?”

She eyed the man up and down suspiciously. “You’re not angry that I pushed Sarah this morning?”

Shocked, he scratched his nose. “I was about to but on second thought, I know my wife wouldn’t push someone without a reason.”

Right at that moment, a lump formed in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

Only God knew how furious she had been earlier today. She had even prepared herself to have another argument with Shaun. Little did she expect that he would choose to believe her this time.

Her exhausted heart suddenly got a boost of confidence to continue this life journey with him.

“Hey, why are you crying again?” He was flustered. “Your tears have fallen like rain since you got pregnant and they come without warning.”

He fumbled around to find her a tissue.

“Shaunny.” Cate hugged him and buried her face in his chest.

“Yes, I’m here.” Shaun lightly patted Cate on the back. It had been so long since she called him that endearment. There was a fuzzy feeling in his heart. Perhaps he had not been showing her enough consideration which caused her to be depressed. “But I was a little angry today. You shouldn’t have driven so fast today. What if you and the children got hurt?”

“I’ll not do that again.” She shook her head. After a brief consideration, she lifted her eyes to say, “Actually, I didn’t push her on purpose today. Sarah told me the urn doesn’t hold Aunty Jennifer’s ashes but a dog’s. She flushed Aunty Jennifer’s ashes down the drain. I couldn’t take it…”

“…”

Shock was written over his face.

She was not surprised to see that reaction. “I know you won’t believe me and probably even think I’m accusing her. It doesn’t matter.”

“It is quite hard to believe that,” he said honestly while still caressing her back.

It would be horrifying if Sarah had actually done that.

Even if Jennifer was a homewrecker, she was already dead. It would not be right to mess with the dead’s ashes like this.

“Hmm, I don’t want to believe that either. I hope she’s just lying,” she replied tiredly.

“Well, stop overthinking it. I’ll get Aunty Yasmine to bring the cake over. Eating dessert will cheer you up.”

He carried her into the garden.

The sun was shining warmly into the garden. Cate rested her head against his chest as he fed her the cake. She cheered up after that and somehow fell asleep while nestled in his arms.

After carrying her back into the bedroom, he left the room and called Hadley. “Go investigate if Jennifer’s ashes belong to a human.”

“What else would it be? A ghost’s ashes?”

When did the investigations nowadays become so spooky?

“Do it right away!” he yelled at his assistant.

…

The following day.

Sarah came to the villa to treat Shaun.

Cate and Shaun were waiting for her in the living room. Cate had deliberately skipped going into the office today.

Sarah looked pretty in a light pink summer dress with ruffled sleeves. Her eyes still appeared slightly puffy from all the crying, which made her look somewhat pitiable.

However, Cate had already seen how much cruelty hid behind that beautiful face. This woman was a thousand times more evil than Rosabella.

“Young Madam.” A hint of intimidation flashed across Sarah’s eyes. After exchanging casual greetings, she turned to Shaun. “Let’s start our second treatment session.”

Cate rose to her feet and questioned. “Miss Neeson, can you tell me the exact details of this second session? What kind of treatment method is required?”

“Sadness therapy. In simpler terms, it allows the patient to deliberately control excitement, joy, and forget about their worries in a negative mindset, thereby transforming the feelings into positive energy.”

Cate frowned at the sound of that. “It sounds quite risky.”

A smile spread across Sarah’s face. “You’re right. But Shaun’s been sick for 20 years and his condition can’t be cured if we don’t take risks. Besides, to tell the truth, if he refuses therapy, his condition might worsen into something similar to Alzheimer’s in less than a year.”

His face fell. “Why didn’t you say this before?”

“I didn’t want to worry you or make you feel burdened through the therapy sessions.” Sarah laughed bitterly. “I have no choice but to tell you now because I sense that Young Madam doesn’t like me very much. I have to honestly explain the severity of the situation to her.”
