However, the man’s clean appearance when he was asleep was much more pleasing to the eye than when he was awake.
His eyelashes were thick like a butterfly’s wings, his skin had no pores, and his eyes, nose, and lips were all very exquisite. His features looked just like works of art carefully created by God…
Just as she was pondering, the man’s dark eyes suddenly opened.
Cate panicked and subconsciously kicked him. “Who allowed you to climb up here last night?”
Shaun sat up in pain and looked around. There was a flash of confusion in his eyes. “Isn’t this the hospital? Why are you wearing scrubs?”
Cate’s heart instantly sank to the bottom.
In the past two days they had spent together, she felt that Shaun’s memory was getting worse and worse. However, she did not expect him to have forgotten that she was pregnant after waking up. Not even an 80-year-old man’s memory would be that bad.
“It’s fine if you don’t remember.” She got down from the hospital bed to wash her face and brush her teeth.
“Tell me. What happened to you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Shaun chased after her and grabbed her hand.
Aunty Yasmine, who was sleeping in the lounge, heard the movements and immediately put on her shoes before coming in. “Young Madam, what do you want to eat for breakfast?”
“Anything’s fine.”
“That won’t do. You’re carrying two little babies in your belly right now. You can’t be careless.” Aunty Yasmine pondered with a smile. “I’ll cook you millet porridge—”
“What did you say? She’s pregnant?” Shaun blurted out excitedly.
Aunty Yasmine paused and looked at Shaun strangely. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, don’t you remember? You were very happy yesterday and even spent the whole day reading pregnancy books.”
Shaun completely froze.
Why could he not remember it at all?
He wanted to think deeper, but his brain started to hurt. He covered his temples with both hands. He was in so much pain that he could hardly stand.
Cate looked at Aunty Yasmine. “Tell his attending doctor to come over.”
Soon, Doctor Lyles and Chester came together to conduct a detailed examination on Shaun.
Ten minutes later, Doctor Lyles said with a heavy expression, “This is a symptom of memory loss. I didn’t expect your condition to deteriorate so quickly, Eldest Young Master Lyons.”
Shaun could not accept it. “But I’ve been taking medicine and going for the IV drip every day. Why isn’t it working at all? Are you even doing your job properly? Useless.”
Doctor Lyles flushed with shame at the reprimand. “I don’t understand why this is happening either. I tried my best…”
“Alright, Shaun, calm down. Doctor Lyles is already the best expert in this field in the country,” Chester spoke up.
“How am I supposed to calm down? I couldn’t even bloody remember that my wife is pregnant. Is it possible that I won’t recognize my wife tomorrow?” Shaun’s face showed his irritation.
Doctor Lyles’ lips moved but he did not say anything for a long time.
Even so, Shaun could guess that he was right.
He sat up angrily and smashed the items on the bedside table.
“Shaun, calm down.” Chester and Doctor Lyles came forward to try and stop him, but Shaun pushed them away.
Cate bit her lip and went forward. “Shaun Lyons, are you trying to scare the two children in my belly?”
Shaun froze and looked at her stomach, curling his fists in pain. “I’m sick. Maybe I wouldn’t even recognize them if they stood in front of me in the future.”
“That won’t happen. I’ve already gotten news about Nyasia abroad. As long as we find her, I have a way for her to cure you.” Chester patted his shoulder. “As far as I know, there’s no disease that Nyasia can’t cure.”
Shaun’s eyes dimmed. This might be his only hope. “Cate, don’t mind me. Go to bed and rest.”
Cate nodded and went back to her ward. Chester came over not long after. “Cate, I know that you’re very dissatisfied with Shaun now, but you’re aware of his current condition as well. I hope you’ll stop quarreling with Shaun for the time being. It’s both for him and for the sake of the children.”
“You’re going to say that I can influence his mood and that his deteriorating condition has something to do with me, right?” Cate subconsciously felt conflicted by how this man was pinning Shaun’s illness on her. It was as though he was asking her to bear with it even though she was wronged.
Chester wiped his glasses in exasperation. “Shaun’s illness really did deteriorate sharply when divorcing you.”
“But why do I feel that it began to deteriorate after Shelley Langley appeared?” Cate said faintly.
Chester frowned. “You don’t have to pin this on Shelley at this time.”
“I really don’t understand why you’re all defending her. Is it just because she’s Sarah Langley’s cousin? You could even break up with Charity Neeson because of Sarah.”
Chester’s gentle face suddenly went cold. “What did Charity say to you? Me breaking up with her has nothing to do with anyone. I was just… simply disgusted with her…”
Cate looked at the door behind him and felt awkward. “Charity…”
Chester turned around and saw Charity dressed in a black professional suit. The suit hugged and outlined her slender waist. She was carrying fruits and supplements in her hands. Her dark hair was tied up, and her face was frosty.
Their eyes met, and Charity sneered. “What a coincidence. I’m also disgusted with you. Fortunately, we broke up early. Otherwise, I’d be worried about getting an STD.”
Chester’s expression darkened and he turned back to warn Cate, “Remember what I told you. Don’t provoke Shaun. Otherwise, I can always get Doctor Angelo to leave your dad be.”
Cate’s eyes flashed as she lowered her head, clenching the blanket hard.
Chester turned away and headed to the door, fiercely bumping into Charity’s shoulder.
Charity stumbled and cursed at him, “Chester Jewell, how shameless do you have to be to threaten a woman?!”
“Mind your own business, or don’t blame me for throwing you into the water again.” Chester left with a straight face.
Charity gritted her teeth. “What a bunch of brainless scumbags!”
Cate was already quite angry and suddenly laughed when she heard Charity’s curse. “They’re not brainless. They’re just dancing in Shelley Langley’s palm.”
Cate stayed at the hospital for six days.
The day before she was ready to be discharged, Old Madam Lyons called Shaun.
“Are you in the manor today? The grapes in the residence are ripe, so I’ll send some over to you and check on you as well. It’s not like you’ll come see an old woman like me if I don’t go to you first.”
“Grapes are good. If a pregnant woman eats more grapes, maybe the babies will have bigger eyes in the future,” Shaun mused thoughtfully.
“What… What did you say?” Old Madam Lyons stuttered in shock.
“It’s exactly what it sounds like. I’m going to be a father.” The corners of Shaun’s mouth curled up. His tone was as delighted as it could be as he continued, “They’re twins.”
