“Not at all. It’s what I should’ve done.”
About half an hour later, the hospital staff came out. Similar to what Liam had mentioned, a hit to Cate’s body and head caused her to suffer a concussion, which explained why she fainted. Nevertheless, she did not have injuries to other parts of her body.
After learning that Cate was fine, Liam headed to the office as he had something to deal with that morning,
Along the way, the driver asked, “Second Young Master, do you think her car was tampered with?”
Liam chuckled as the reason behind the brake failure of a sports car worth over two million dollars was glaringly obvious.
The driver sighed. “It’s my first time seeing someone end up with such light injuries after meeting with an accident on a meandering road. Any ordinary woman would’ve been scared out of her wits, and the car would probably have plunged off the cliff. Miss Cox might be young, but her driving skills are fantastic. Even though I’m an experienced driver, it’s a shame that I can’t be calm and courageous like her.”
“Yeah.” Liam knocked his fingers on his knees. He had met her in the Lyons household a few days ago, assuming that she was just a beautiful face without depth. However, he was absolutely amazed by her behavior today.
Originally, he thought that Shaun was just fascinated by her beauty.
How would Shaun react after he found out that she had met with an accident?
…
12:00 p.m.
Liam headed to the dining hall of the company.
The dining halls for the top management and ordinary employees were located on different floors.
When he entered the private room, he saw Shaun, who was dressed in a trim suit, walking from the corridor. His handsome face was set in a grim expression. A few executives were following closely behind him to report the company’s performance.
Liam squinted his eyes. Those executives always pretended to obey his orders without actually executing them, yet they were as submissive as dogs in front of Shaun.
Liam’s thin lips twitched devilishly. “Brother.”
Shaun gave him a stony stare. “I was just planning to look for you. You were absent from the meeting this morning.”
“Brother, I didn’t mean to be absent,” Liam answered helplessly, “When I came from Sherman Mountain this morning, I saw an accident. I sent the victim to the hospital.”
“Next time, you need to inform the company even if you’re not coming.” Shaun lifted his long legs and walked into the private room.
“Alright, Brother. By the way, do you need to visit the victim? She’s the young lady from the Yule family. It’s the one who just returned, not Melanie.”
Sure enough, Shaun froze right after Liam finished speaking.
Shaun looked back, and his dark eyes settled on Liam. His gaze seemed to convey a turbulence of emotions. “Cate?”
“Yup.” Liam’s face expressed pity.
Shaun shoved his right hand into the pocket of his trousers and bit his thin lip. “Is she badly injured?”
“I’m not sure about this. I came to the office after sending her to the hospital.” Shaun frowned. “But I heard that the brakes failed. It was quite risky then. When I went to save her, she was already unconscious.”
Director Shepherd, who was behind Shaun, gasped. “Isn’t it impossible to survive if the brakes fail on the road along Sherman Mountain?”
Shaun kicked open the door of the private room. “Let’s go in.”
After taking a seat in the private room, he gave Hadley a stare. Hadley grasped the significance of his stare within a split second and went to find out about the matter right away.
Shaun sat on the seat of honor, while a bunch of executives beside him kept chatting. Nevertheless, he did not pay attention to what they were saying.
He had managed to behave icily throughout these years.
At this point, however, he only had Cate’s mischievous, sly, and embarrassed looks in mind.
Two days ago, she had even stood in front of him with a flushed face, allowing him to kiss her however he wanted.
Now, she had met with an accident, and it was uncertain whether she was alive…
Shaun’s heart ached badly.
All of a sudden, he rose to his feet. “I’m not going to eat as something has come up. You guys just carry on with your meal.”
The executives looked at each other as he swiftly left.
The assistant, who came from next door, walked toward Liam and whispered, “Elder Young Master has left the office.”
Liam chuckled.
Everyone was under the impression that nothing could weaken Shaun, given that he began to keep everyone at a distance since Sarah’s death. Surprisingly, a weak point of his had been exposed.
…
Shaun was speeding throughout his journey to the hospital.
He quickened his pace to the VIP ward. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly caught sight of Wesley sitting in front of the bed and holding Cate’s hand.
He immediately stopped walking and hid behind the wall instead. He heard Wesley asking gently, “Are you still feeling dizzy?”
“Yup, a little. I feel like vomiting.”
“The doctor said that it’s common for someone with a concussion to experience this. You really frightened the wits out of me. I initially planned to settle some issues in Melbourne before I came over here, but I couldn’t afford to wait. I’m not going back. I need to stay here to keep you safe so that I won’t worry about you.”
Holding her hand, Wesley placed it close to his face. Cate looked down awkwardly. “You haven’t even recovered from your injuries—”
“I’m getting much better. I really don’t want to lose you, Cate,” Wesley said affectionately, “Let’s get married this year. I’ll stay by your side in the future.”
Shaun stood outside the ward with bulging veins visible on his fists under his sleeves.
All of a sudden, he felt like a fool for worrying about Cate and speeding all the way here.
Similar to what had happened in Melbourne previously, he was tricked by her again and again.
She always feigned being pure and shy in front of him, yet she treated Wesley with deep affection behind his back.
What on earth did she take him for?
His eyes revealed a frosty look.
Shaun could not bear to listen to the conversation between Cate and Wesley anymore. He turned around and walked to the elevator.
Joel, who just came out of the elevator, was surprised to bump into Shaun. “Elder Young Master Lyons, what brings you here?”
“My friend was admitted here, so I came to visit.” With a grim expression, Shaun casually replied before he entered the elevator.
His coldness made Joel speechless.
When Joel entered the ward, Wesley was giving Cate water. Joel heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Wesley treats you really well. He called me this morning after he couldn’t reach you. When he learned that something had happened to you, he immediately flew here. He was already here before you were even awake.”
Cate did not know what to say, but she had a weak smile spreading across her pale face.
Joel found a chair and sat on it. He sighed. “Compared to a fiancé like Wesley, Elder Young Master… I just bumped into him at the elevator just now. He came to visit his friend. After all, I’m still Melanie’s dad, but he was really indifferent and couldn’t be bothered to find out why I’m here.”
