“Mireya…”
Cate rushed in, only to see Mireya leaning against the hospital bed like a wounded beast fuming with rage. However, she had no strength and soon collapsed shakily into the pillow.
As for Shaun, he stood in front of the bed with his handsome face twisted into a complicated expression.
“What the hell did you say to her?”
Cate pushed Shaun away furiously. “Look at how beaten up she is! Why do you still refuse to let her go?”
Shaun looked at the two haggard women and clenched his fists tightly. “I said I’d give Wesley Sanderson and her 30 million each, and we’ll consider this matter settled.”
“Fine, it’s settled,” Mireya suddenly said softly.
“You’re insane,” Cate said in disbelief. “Are you and Wesley in need of 30 million? If Thomas Neeson doesn’t go to jail, he’ll continue to hurt you. He’s not afraid of anything in this world. Shaun Lyons, did you threaten her with something?”
“Cate, no.” Mireya raised her head and looked at Cate pleadingly. “I don’t want to make a fuss about it and let everyone know…”
“Mireya, stop it. You’re braver than that.”
Cate glared at Shaun. “Say it. If you can do it, then why can’t you say it?”
Irritated, Shaun loosened his tie. “Cate Cox, if you continue to pursue this matter, I will stop Doctor Angelo from curing your father’s illness.”
Cate felt thunder rumbling in her brains.
She looked at Mireya. “Did he use that to threaten you?”
Mireya said bitterly, “Cate, you only have one father. I don’t want you to lose him.”
“Yes, you guys all know how important my dad is to me because I only have one. That’s why you threaten me with my dad again and again.” Cate looked at Shaun coldly. “Last time, it was for Sarah’s reputation that I declared we’re divorced, and people on the Internet are still criticizing me even till this day. Now, you’re threatening me to let go of that scumbag.”
Shaun bit his thin lips silently.
Cate lost her patience and rushed up to shove him. “Shaun Lyons, why are you so ruthless to me? Are you a human? For Sarah, you’ve hurt the people around me and I again and again. Meeting you was a huge mistake.”
She could no longer hold back her tears anymore as she crouched down.
Shaun felt a lump in his throat. For some reason, his heart felt like it was being crushed by a hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“Cate, don’t cry.” Mireya attempted to get up and comfort her. However, as soon as she moved, she fell off the bed.
“Mireya, don’t move.” Cate hurriedly helped her back up.
“Listen to me, and just settle it. Don’t pursue it. In any case… I wasn’t violated.” Mireya held her hand and forced a smile.
“No.” Cate shook her head. “If Thomas Neeson isn’t sentenced this time, he’ll overstep the line more the next time. I don’t want you to compromise for me. I want him to go to jail.”
She glared at Shaun with gritted teeth. “Fine. Tell Doctor Angelo to leave. At most, my dad’s illness won’t be treated.”
“Cate Cox, why do you have to force my hand?” Shaun’s expression did not look pleasant.
Cate barked out a laugh. “Who’s the one forced here?”
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, Cate isn’t the victim. She can’t decide for me,” Mireya hurriedly said. “I said I won’t pursue the matter, so I won’t. This is final.”
“Mireya…”
“Don’t say it.” Mireya’s gaze was filled with determination. “We’re friends. Even if you were the victim, you’d do the same as well.”
Cate’s eyes immediately reddened.
Her relationship was a mess, but fortunately, she had a friend who would not abandon her.
The one who hurt her friend just had to be the man she loved very much.
Cate stood up and lifted her head stubbornly. “Even if Mireya agrees, there’s another victim. He won’t…”
“I agree to the settlement.”
Wesley’s voice suddenly sounded from the door.
She turned around to see Wesley supported by an assistant. His arm was still in a splint.
Every step he took was so painful that his face was now paler. “Continue to treat her father. This matter is settled.”
“Wesley…” Cate bit her lip, but tears were still flowing down her cheeks.
Wesley did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Shaun with coldness and hatred. “You don’t know how to cherish this woman, hurting her time and time again. Shaun Lyons, if you’re still a man, then divorce her. Stop hurting her for another woman. She’s already covered in scars because of you.”
Shaun glanced at the teary-eyed Cate, and then at Wesley, who was protecting her. A burst of anger rose in his heart. “It’s my business whether or not I divorce her. Since she shamelessly seduced me in the beginning, this is all her own doing.”
“Who seduced you? It was you who snatched her away from me by hook or by crook. She was my fiance.” Wesley was furious.
“So what if she was your fiance?”
Shaun smiled with a hint of coldness in his eyes, which he did not realize. “She still willingly slept with me. Even now, she’s still pestering and clinging on to me.”
Cate could not take it anymore. “Who’s pestering you? As long as you’re willing to divorce me, I’ll leave right away.”
“What? Did you think that seducing me was useless and decided to have Sanderson as your backup plan?”
Shaun pinched her chin cruelly. “Cate Cox, I’ll never allow the children in your belly to call someone else their father. Even if you want a divorce, you’ll have to give birth to the children first. It’ll be just in time for you to make way for Sarah.”
His words were like knives stabbing into Cate’s heart again and again.
It was so painful that it hurt to breathe.
“Since you like Sarah so much, why not have her give birth to your children? Go and have a baby that belongs to both of you. Why do you have to take mine away?”
She pleaded tearfully. “Shaun, I’m begging you. Let go of the children and I, okay?”
Shaun’s eyes flashed. Then, he turned his cold and handsome face away. “No, giving birth is painful. I can’t bear for Sarah to experience it. All she has to do is be Mrs. Lyons and be pampered by me.”
“Shaun Lyons, you b*stard. You’re not human.”
Cate could not bear to listen to him anymore.
Sarah was afraid of pain, so the pain of bearing a child was pushed onto Cate instead.
Was he still human?
At that moment, she rushed out to beat and bite him like a beast. It was as if she had forgotten that she was pregnant.
“Psycho.”
Caught off guard, Shaun got bitten on his arm. However, he tried his best to hold back from kicking her away.
“Someone come here and grab her.”
Several bodyguards rushed in at Shaun’s shout. In just a few seconds, they pinned Cate down.
“Shaun Lyons, what are you doing? Let go of her.” Wesley endured the pain of his injuries and went forward. Despite that, he was quickly pushed aside by one of the bodyguards. It hurt him so much that he could not move.
“Shaun Lyons, you can come at me, but don’t hurt innocent people.” Cate’s anxious gaze was filled with hatred.
“Don’t worry. I won’t cripple him, but to avoid him from making me a cuckold while you’re pregnant, you’re not allowed to go anywhere in the future.”
Shaun’s handsome face turned grimmer when he saw how worried she was for Wesley. After that, he forcibly picked her up and left the room.
“Let me go.”
No matter how hard Cate hit him along the way and clawed a few scratches on his handsome face, it was useless.
Once they were in the car, Shaun tied her up with a rope.
“Shaun Lyons, why are you doing this to me? Let me go.”
Cate struggled frantically, but Shaun turned a blind eye.
The car took her straight to New Metropolis Park.
He carried her to the bedroom and warned her with a grim face, “Since you won’t stay in the manor, then you’ll stay here from now on. You’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission. Just stay here like a good girl until the children are born.”
“You’re confining me?”
Cate felt like she was going crazy.
Not only was Shaun going to give Sarah the children that Cate gave birth to, but he was locking her up too.
