She answered his call and immediately heard his angry roar. “Cate Cox, did you drive the car out so late at night to die? You even dared to crash into the gate of the manor. I’m telling you, if anything happens to my children, I’ll take your life.”
“Shaun, so you still remember that you have children, huh?”
Cate could not hold back and screamed at the man, “Why did I go out? It’s because Thomas Neeson broke into my best friend’s house and assaulted her. It’s all your fault. It’s because of you that the scumbag has become more arrogant and immoral. Shaun Lyons, I hate you. I really hate you!”
After venting out her emotions, her tears fell like a broken pearl necklace.
She covered her face and burst into tears.
Wesley, who was lying weakly on the stretcher, gripped her hand with eyes full of worry.
Cate hung up the phone and let her cries echo in the ambulance.
She had never been more regretful than today.
She should never have been soft-hearted with that man. She should never have been moved by him.
It was that man’s indulgence that hurt Mireya, Wesley, and Charity.
If she were not pregnant, she would have done everything to stab that scumbag, Thomas.
Late at night in the hospital.
After 40 minutes in the ER, the doctor came out. “The female patient wasn’t completely assaulted but she still suffered injuries in many places. She has a concussion, and as she was drugged, it may take more than ten hours for her to regain consciousness.”
Cate finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God… Thank God Thomas did not manage to have his way with Mireya. Otherwise, she did not know how Mireya would face this painful blow.
“What about the male patient?” she asked hastily.
“The knife was stabbed into his arm, and the problem is that it injured the ligaments around the stab wound. He needs to be operated on. After the operation, his arm needs to be fixed in a cast for a month. It’ll take at least six months to heal completely.”
“Please operate on him immediately.”
Cate paid the money and accompanied Mireya back to the ward.
Mireya was still unconscious. Her beautiful face was red and swollen, while her lips were split.
Soon, the police also came to collect evidence of the victim’s injury.
When Cate was done giving her statement, it was already 2:00 a.m.
She was so busy and tired that her head was pounding.
She could not stand straight anymore, so she sat down on a chair to rest.
A shadow fell upon her, and Shaun was suddenly standing in front of her. His eyes were so dark like the night sky outside.
He looked down at her from above.
In his mind, the words, ‘I hate you. I really hate you’ echoed.
Shaun did not understand why, but his heart felt uncomfortable when he heard those words.
“Come back with me.” Shaun looked at her, his tone low as if it was an order.
Cate did not budge and could not be bothered to look at him. Just hearing his voice made her blood boil in anger.
“Did you hear what I said? You’re pregnant now. You can’t stay here like this.” Shaun pulled her up.
However, Cate pushed him away and smiled sadly. “Do you think I want to stay here like this? Two of my friends are still unconscious. Do you think I’ll be in the mood to go back and sleep? Of course, a person like you who has no heart unless it’s for Sarah Neeson won’t understand.”
Shaun looked at her pale face and hesitated before taking off his coat and putting it on her.
Her eyelashes moved in surprise, but then, she heard him say, “Don’t freeze my child.”
The light in her eyes dimmed again.
She smiled mockingly to herself. What was she expecting at this point?
Not long after she sat down, his phone rang.
She glanced at it and saw the name ‘Sarah’ flashing on the screen when he pulled out his phone.
He got up and walked to the side to pick it up.
In the quiet corridor, she could hear Sarah’s intermittent cries even though it was late at night.
At that moment, the lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor then pushed Wesley out. Wesley was still awake, and the moment he saw her, he smiled at her weakly. “You must be tired. Go back and rest. I’m fine…”
Fine?
He just finished surgery, and he was ‘fine’?
Cate’s eyes reddened.
Shaun, who just got off the phone, turned and saw the scene of Wesley and her looking at each other. His brows knitted together subconsciously. “You were waiting for him to get out of surgery?”
“If he hadn’t rushed over earlier to save Mireya, Mireya would’ve been ruined by the time I went over.”
Cate glanced at him coldly. “He was stabbed in the arm by Thomas’s men. Previously, he was stabbed in the abdomen by Hugh and lost a kidney all because of Thomas as well. This time, I’ll make sure he gets sent to jail and rots there forever.”
Shaun rubbed his eyebrows. He did not expect Thomas to do such a thing. To be honest, he was also furious, but when he saw Cate getting angry on behalf of Wesley, he found it irritating. “Cate Cox, do you feel sorry for him?”
“All I know is that if it weren’t for him, Mireya would’ve been ruined today. If it weren’t for him, I’d be dead already.”
Cate stared at him with hatred in her eyes. “If you dare to go to court for Thomas again this time, I’ll see you in court.
“…”
Her determined gaze made Shaun’s mood worse, and he glared back at her fiercely. “Suit yourself.”
He then turned and said to Hadley, “Stay here and watch her.”
After that, he left without looking back.
Cate watched until his silhouette disappeared.
She was confused. What did he mean?
Was he really going to defend Thomas no matter what?
If she went against Shaun, she would not win even if she hired the best lawyer.
“Cate.” Wesley’s gentle voice suddenly sounded beside her.
She turned around, and Wesley smiled weakly at her. “Go after him.”
“No need.”
Cate shook her head. What would be the point? At this time, Shaun must either be going to the police station or find Sarah.
In fact, she guessed correctly.
Twenty minutes later, Shaun showed up at the police station. Sarah had been waiting there for a long time, and her eyes were red with tears.
“Shaunic…” Sarah immediately threw herself into his arms when she saw him and choked. “I’m sorry for the trouble my brother has caused again. I didn’t expect him to be so disappointing.”
“It’s because I’ve always had his back. That’s why he became more and more unscrupulous, right?” Shaun’s handsome face was full of anger. “He even dared to break into someone’s home and stab and drug her. Does he think he’s the boss of Canberra? Why doesn’t he bring a gun and rob a bank, then?”
Sarah hurriedly explained, “He really likes Mireya Lynch. It’s fine if Mireya doesn’t like him, but she insulted him again and again. With his temper…”
“So? He’s not at fault?” Shaun said furiously.
“That’s not it…” Sarah did not expect him to lose his temper. Knowing that he was really angry, her tears fell even harder as she said pitifully, “That’s not what I mean. He is wrong, and I’m also very disappointed. It’s all my fault…”
“Alright, it has nothing to do with you. Thomas brought this upon himself.” Shaun patted her back gently.
“Shaunic, I asked the police. They said they’ve already filed a case. If the other party decides to go deeper into it, he might have to go to jail for ten years.”
Sarah pleaded with tears rolling down her cheeks. “I only have one brother. My parents are gone. If he goes to jail, then I’ll lose my only family.”
“But you still have me,” Shaun said softly. He really did not want to save Thomas this time.
“That’s different. He’s the only one that I still have blood ties with.” Sarah wept bitterly on his chest.
Shaun stroked her back, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable glint.
