Many years later, when Cate recalled this night, she could only use one word to describe it: horrifying.
Cate felt like she had fallen into a terrible abyss that became her worst nightmare…
…
2:00 a.m.
Shaun snapped out of his rage and what he saw startled himself.
The woman beside him was curled up in a ball of pain. Her face was extremely pale and her lips were bloodless.
“Cate!” Shaun’s heart thundered.
However, the woman was unresponsive.
Shaun was shocked. He hastily wrapped the woman with the bedsheet before picking her up and rushing to the hospital.
Late at night in the hospital corridor.
Shaun stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and tried to light a cigarette, only to find that his hand was shaking. Even after a long time, he did not manage to light the cigarette.
“Let me.” Chester Jewell, dressed in a white coat, approached him with a complex gaze. “You lost control. Did you have an episode again? I think your smoking addiction has also gotten worse.”
“I met Lea Lyons today and lost control of my emotions.” Shaun was agitated. “How is she?”
“The female doctor in the hospital examined her…” Chester gave him a look. “You really are crazy. The doctor already said that Cate had just become a woman and needs at least two to three days of rest, but what did you do?”
“What did you say?” Shaun snapped his head to look at Chester.
“That’s what Doctor Lyles said. You should also know that Doctor Lyles is a talent I spent a lot of money on to bring back from abroad. She’s seen many patients and has quite a lot of experience.”
Every word Chester said was like a bomb exploding in Shaun’s head, buzzing.
So… Cate and Wesley Sanderson were really innocent?
He had misunderstood her?
“She… She really didn’t do anything with Wesley Sanderson?” Shaun felt that his brain that had always been ingenious suddenly became inadequate.
‘Didn’t she get drugged and spent the night with Wesley Sanderson?
‘Isn’t she Wesley’s fiancée?’
“Doctor Lyles wouldn’t lie.”
Shaun’s lips pursed. Wesley was locked up in prison, so she naturally could not have gotten together with him. It seemed like Shaun had really misunderstood her.
When he thought of the words he had said to her before, he regretted it and slapped himself on the face twice. What had he done?
That night, did she really submerge herself in cold water to get through the night, just as she had said?
Chester sighed. “When I saw the pictures of her being intimate with Wesley Sanderson back then, I thought they had already… Who would’ve thought this would happen. Even after they were engaged for so long, her chastity was taken by you instead. Do you think Wesley will die of regret?”
“…”
Shaun frowned tightly. He did not know if Wesley would die of regret, but Shaun was about to.
He stood in the ward with that feeling of regret. When he saw Cate’s pale face, he wanted to give himself two more slaps.
The things he had done recently were simply inhumane.
He wanted to make it up to her. He would never let her go back to Wesley Sanderson again.
At that moment, the eyelashes of the person lying on the bed suddenly quivered.
Shaun, who had not figured out how to face the woman, was at a loss.
Cate slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the tall figure that was illuminated by a backlight standing at her bedside, that terrifying scene suddenly emerged in her mind.
She shuddered violently in fear and her face was paper-white. “Don’t come over!”
Cate was truly afraid. She tried to shrink to the side, and her clear eyes were filled with fear for him.
Shaun’s heart throbbed in pain and he tried to reach out to her. “Don’t be scared, I won’t…”
“Ahhhh, don’t touch me!” Cate dove into the covers in fright, her body shaking like a leaf. “I won’t dare anymore. I shouldn’t have hit you. You can do whatever you want in the future. I’m really scared now. I’ve learned my lesson!”
Shaun’s hand froze in mid-air, and his mouth was full of bitterness. He finally knew the taste of reaping what one sowed.
What on earth had he done to reduce a person to this state?
The Cate from before was bright and delicate, full of confidence.
He often saw how narcissistic she was in front of a mirror, as though she believed herself to be the most beautiful person in the world.
He missed that cute and mischievous girl.
“Come out. Don’t hide under the covers. You’ll suffocate.” He reached out to yank the covers away but saw her biting her fingers hard. Her face was streaked with tears.
“Alright, I’ll go out. I’ll ask someone to bring you some food since you haven’t eaten all night.”
Shaun sighed and turned to leave.
Before long, a nurse entered.
When Cate saw that Shaun had left, the fear in her heart dissipated a little, but her body still hurt badly. She had no appetite at all and slept after taking a few bites.
When she woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.
Shaun stood in front of the window and was on the phone, speaking in a low voice.
“I’m not going to the company today. Cancel the meeting.”
“But Deputy Chairman Lyons will be attending today’s meeting—”
“I said cancel it, so cancel it.”
Shaun turned around and saw her doe-like eyes.
Cate flinched away. Shaun walked over to the bed and said with a gentle tone, “The doctor told me that your first time was the day before yesterday. I misunderstood you before. I promise I’ll never act the way I did yesterday again. Can you forgive me?”
Cate was stunned. No wonder he was suddenly so gentle to her. She had thought that he finally found his conscience.
It turned out that it was because the doctor had told him. It was funny how there had never been any trust between the two of them.
“Okay.” She nodded.
‘You’re Eldest Young Master Lyons. Who would dare not to forgive you? Everyone can be manipulated by you at will.’
“Don’t you have anything else to say to me?” Shaun was somewhat lost. “You can scold me.”
“…”
Scold him? Who would dare to scold him? She scolded him yesterday and was left barely alive.
Shaun smiled bitterly but took it slow. This time, he would use his own efforts to move her heart and rid her fear.
In the afternoon, Shaun completed the discharge formalities and personally took her back to New Metropolis Park.
It had been more than a year since the mansion was renovated, and it was the first time someone was living in it.
Can someone tell me exactly what Shaun had done to her that he was terrified himself? I couldn’t imagine it. Like apart from the rough seggs, did he hit her also?
