He did not have much to eat that night, so why would he…
Hang on. He had eaten the food Cate took for him.
At this thought, his face expressed a sense of hostility.
Damn it. How dare she!
The door of the bathroom was kicked open with a bang. It shocked Cate, who was laying the mattress on the floor.
She saw Shaun walking out, beads of water covering his flesh. His face flushed with fierceness.
It had taken effect, huh?
“What’s… What’s wrong with you?” Cate flinched while moving backward. Suddenly, she was frightened.
“Were you the one who spiked my food just now?” Shaun clutched her arm and dragged her up from the floor.
Cate’s eyes twitched. Little did she expect that he would be conscious of it so soon. “I… I don’t know what you’re saying.”
“You’re still denying it, huh?” Shaun squeezed her neck, his eyes revealing hatred. “Who else would’ve had the chance to do it besides you?”
Cate was nearly suffocating. She never thought that Shaun’s reaction would turn out to be so terrifying. She was terribly frightened.
“It was… I was the one who did it… Sorry!”
Cate’s neck hurt so badly that tears rolled down her face. She thought that she was face to face with a devil!
She deeply regretted it!
“How wicked of you! I trusted you so much!”
Anger erupted in Shaun’s chest. Why would she do such a thing? What he hated most in his life was being tricked!
He resented her, yet the skin he was touching soon made him lose his senses. Having gone out of control, he flung her down on the bed.
Cate’s clothes were torn because of it. He got up and dashed to the bathroom for a shower again.
Bang!
The slam of the door was heard. It had also slammed against Cate’s heart.
Cate subconsciously shuddered and stared at the ceiling blankly. She wondered if he resented her so much that he refused to touch her.
That was true. He had not fallen for her since the very start.
She had been wrong!
She had been disastrously wrong. She should not have been persuaded to use this kind of tactic!
Cate dropped her gaze, feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt.
…
The water in the bathroom spattered for 45 minutes.
Worried that something had happened to Shaun, she summoned her courage to walk to the door and knocked on it. “Are you okay? I’m sorry. Do you need me to—”
“Shut up. I’d rather die than touch a woman like you.”
The bathroom door was opened violently. Soaked from head to toe, Shaun glared at her with red eyes.
Cate gaped in astonishment.
“How much did you add to the food?” Having nowhere to vent his spleen, Shaun pulled her roughly into the bathroom and drenched her in icy water.
Before the icy water even poured on her head, Cate started to shiver.
Only when Shaun noticed that she was hardly able to breathe in the water did he let go of her. He cursed with a deep voice and kicked the door forcefully. Then, he put on his clothes and ran out of the house.
Cate came out of the bathroom in an embarrassed manner. She wanted to go after him, but it was too late.
…
12:00 a.m.
Chase rushed to the hospital and saw Shaun receiving IV infusion on the bed. At that point, he was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to admire or envy Shaun.
Aw, how unfair. Why were there not any beautiful women like Cate who threw themselves at him?
“Tsk, tsk. Your face is still flushed at this moment.”
Chase was here to watch the drama. “Why did you come to the hospital to suffer? You should’ve obeyed Cate straight away. The issue would’ve been settled.”
“Say that again. I dare you.”
Shaun squinted his grim eyes. He was so furious that he almost knocked the drug bottle on his head.
Hadley frowned. “Mind your words, Young Master Harrison. This is the method used by women that Young Master Lyons dislikes the most.”
Chase was stunned. It occurred to him that Shaun was different from the rest.
If it had not been for Brennan Lowe who schemed against the golden girl, Lea Lyons, in order to get into the Lyons family back then, they would not have given birth to Shaun.
Growing up without his mother’s affection, Shaun had suffered a great deal.
Shaun believed that it was the scheme that brought him to this world.
Therefore, he resented the use of such a tactic, which explained why he was so triggered by Cate’s act.
“If you don’t wish to see her anymore, just get her to move out,” Chase suggested after letting out a sigh.
“As if a clingy woman like her would be willing to leave!” Shaun scoffed. “Even if I kick her out, she might not leave. She doesn’t have the faintest idea what shame is.”
“Why don’t you move elsewhere? I’ll help you search for a place.”
“That’s my place. Why should I leave?” Shaun was subconsciously annoyed and indignant. “What’s more, if I let her go just like that, it’ll be too easy for her.”
Suddenly, Chase raised his eyebrow and asked with interest, “You’ve stayed with her for a long time now, but do you really not have any feelings for her?”
“Feelings?” Shaun mocked. “What about your feelings for the housekeeper who cooks for your family? I probably would’ve tolerated her presence if it was before, but now… I won’t forgive her.”
Chase rolled his eyes. “What about… plotting against her as well? Lock her in the room and let her experience your pain.”
The corners of Shaun’s mouth froze. He replied sulkily, “She has been eyeing me even from before. If I do that, she’ll surely get mad and might even destroy the door of my house.”
“…”
Chase shuddered at the thought of the scene.
“Shut up. Just leave me alone.” Shaun began to feel thirsty. “Fetch me a glass of water.”
…
At 4:00 a.m., Shaun was done with the IV infusion. He returned home only after the heat in his body subsided.
Once he entered the house, he saw Cate sleeping soundly on the couch in the living room.
Previously, she had claimed that she was afraid of having bad dreams if she was alone in the room. However, she seemed to be sleeping well at that moment.
It had all been an act.
What gave her the right to make him suffer terrible pain and receive an IV infusion in the hospital while she slept comfortably in the house?
In a fit of fury, he took the water from the table and splashed it directly on her face.
