“What’s wrong?” She reached out to hold his hand. It was very cold, cold enough to make her a little heartbroken.
“It’s nothing. I’m going out.” Shaun rubbed her head and turned to leave.
…
At 4:00 pm, Chester came to visit her. “Is your appetite better?”
“I can’t eat too much, or else my stomach will hurt,” Cate answered him seriously.
“Take it slow. Eat less but often. You should be able to leave the hospital the day after tomorrow. As for your face… come every two days to get it treated…”
“Doctor Jewell, do you know how Shaun injured his arm?” Cate suddenly looked at him.
Chester stalled for a moment, wiping his glasses. “What did Shaun tell you?”
“He didn’t tell me anything.”
“Since he didn’t talk to you about it, then it’s not my place to say anything either.” Chester smiled politely. “You don’t have to overthink. Just know that he loves you.”
So everyone knew that he loved her.
Cate slowly lowered her eyes. Yet somehow, there was a bad feeling in her heart that could not be dispelled. “But I want to know who hurt him. I’m worried he angered the Lyons family because of me…”
“Shaun isn’t a simple person, so the Lyons family can’t do anything to him. Don’t worry. Right now, only you can hurt him.” When Chester walked to the door, he turned around and smiled at her. “You’ve also started to care about Shaun. Does that mean you’re willing to forgive him?”
Cate was stunned for a few seconds, and her face subconsciously heated up.
Chester chuckled. “Please stay with him. Shaun is a little grumpy, but it has to do with his upbringing. As you can see, most people in wealthy families are selfish and only think about their own interests. Shaun is actually quite pitiful.”
After he left, the phrase ‘Shaun is actually quite pitiful’ echoed in Cate’s mind for a long time.
Who would have thought that the richest man in Australia would be described as pitiful?
However, when she thought about how he was isolated and abandoned by everyone in the Lyons family, her heart could not help but ache.
At that moment, Aunty Yasmine entered and asked, “Young Madam, can I make you some porridge for dinner today?”
Cate nodded and added a moment later, “Make some chicken soup too, and add some herbs in it.”
Aunt Yasmine was doubtful. “But the doctor said your stomach won’t be able to digest the tonic at this time…”
“…No, it’s for you and Shaun.” Cate hurriedly looked down at her phone to cover up her embarrassment.
Aunt Yasmine pursed her lips into a smile. She had long seen through these two people’s affection for each other. Now that the Young Madam was finally willing to care about the Eldest Young Master, she hoped that their days would continue to grow better.
“Of course, I’ll make some, but Young Madam, I’ll tell the Young Master that you were the one who asked me to make it. Otherwise, he won’t take it. As you can see, he’s usually not very willing to eat my cooking.”
Cate bit her lip. If he found out, he would be very happy to know she cared about him again.
She did not want to see his smug look.
“You don’t have to be embarrassed. The Eldest Young Master’s health is more important. He hasn’t had something nutritious for a long time, and he’s too fussy about food.” Aunty Yasmine sighed.
Cate thought about his wound and nodded helplessly.
In the evening, Shaun came over for dinner.
When Aunty Yasmine brought out the food, she smiled faintly. “This is the chicken soup the Young Madam specially asked me to make for you.”
Shaun’s eyes lit up and turned to Cate, but she hurriedly lowered her head to eat and avoid meeting his eyes. However, the tips of her ears were already flushed red.
“Well, since it was specially arranged by my wife, I have to eat it.” Shaun let out a doting smile. He drank the large bowl of soup until nothing was left. He even finished all the dregs.
Aunty Yasmine was pleasantly surprised. “The Young Madam has to give the word. I’ve never seen the Young Master eat so many dishes.”
Cate was speechless. He was not a small eater when he was in Melbourne, but he had so many bad habits when he came back to Canberra.
“I can’t help it. Since the Missus spoke, I have to listen obediently, or she might not let me go to bed at night.” A pleased smile spread across Shaun’s face.
Cate could not bear to listen to him out of embarrassment and kicked him viciously.
“Beating is a sign of affection, cursing is a sign of love.” Shaun raised his handsome brows. He looked like he was unafraid of the consequences.
Cate was completely helpless against him and could only eat her dinner silently.
At 9:30 pm, Cate was ready to turn off the lights to sleep, but Shaun suddenly took off his clothes and climbed in quickly.
“Shaun Lyons, go away…” They had been sleeping in separate beds ever since Cate was hospitalized, so she kicked him away as she was not used to it.
“Ouch, it hurts.” Shaun made a pained expression.
“Stop acting. Your leg isn’t injured.” Cate snapped at him.
“Are you trying to cripple me?” Shaun gave her a bitter look.
Right at this moment, Cate was grateful that she had turned the lights off earlier. Otherwise, Shaun would have seen the embarrassment on her cheeks. Her disfigured face would certainly be a sore sight.
“I wasn’t…”
“You were definitely trying to cripple me. Why don’t you check and see if I’m injured?” He laughed mischievously into her ears.
“Sure, I’ll have a look after I give you another kick.”
Finally, she lifted her leg once more.
He reacted quickly and grabbed her leg that was hanging in mid-air. “My good girl, do you really want to cripple me?”
Cate felt a shudder run down her spine upon hearing that endearing term. She really could not fathom why the man was not bothered by her ugly face. “Shaun, can you stop it? I want to get to bed.”
“Husband and wife share a bed.”
After saying that, he even placed their marriage certificate right next to the pillows, as if worried that she might have forgotten about their marital status.
She was speechless as a complicated feeling materialized in her heart. “Aren’t you afraid of getting nightmares from seeing my ugly face in the middle of the night?”
“There’s nothing to be afraid about. As long as you’re still the same in other places.” His face revealed he was not in the least concerned.
Once again, her face flushed red within seconds. “You’re wrong if you don’t think I have the galls to cripple you.”
“Cate, I’m just trying to tell you that nothing’s going to change how I feel about you. It doesn’t matter how you look.”
He went under the covers to embrace her tightly. She was unsure how to react to the genuineness in his voice.
This man was truly… Sigh, she had no words for it.
Did he really not care about her facial disfigurement?
Awesome.
“Do you believe me now? If not, I’m going to prove it with my actions.” Shaun looked at her in the eye intensely without holding back any emotions.
This took Cate by surprise and she quickly nodded. “Fine, stop talking. I believe you.”
“Can I get a kiss?” He leaned closer to ask for a kiss.
She heard her heart pounding erratically beneath the skin.
This man… truly did not care about her appearance?
She could tell that he was not pretending.
The way he kissed her was still the same as before. Nothing had changed.
