Just now, Shaun was here when she was waiting outside…
She clenched her fists until her fingernails dug into her flesh.
How could a person be so ruthless?
It was too cruel! He was not human at all!
A teardrop fell from her eye. At that moment, her eyes were devoid of warmth and were filled only with hatred.
“Logan… Logan.” She called out his name softly. No one knew how important Logan was to her.
He was only younger than her by two years. She had started treating him as her brother long ago.
“Boss…” Logan struggled to open his eyes. “Why are you here? Shaun… Shaun locked you up too?
That… b*stard.”
“I… I have a way to get out of here, ” Cate said with reddened eyes, “But your finger…”
“It’s okay. Isn’t… Isn’t it just a finger?” Logan sucked in a breath from the pain. After a moment, his body started convulsing while his eyes rolled back.
“What’s wrong with you?” Cate was utterly shocked.
“I… I was injected with drugs. ” Logan panted with huge breaths.
“Was it Shaun who did this?” Cate asked with a trembling voice.
“No… It wasn’t him. ” Logan pounded the ground with his fists in agony. “Some time ago, I was hiding… as per your orders. I was cautious, but I never expected that the food delivery guy would drug my food. When I woke up… I was already thrown in the cave.
“Sarah was at the side too. I started having withdrawal symptoms at that time. I could not control myself at all. After that… Shaun and the rest came. It was a scheme.”
Cate was horrified. She knew that someone was trying to frame them. However, according to Logan’s words, it was as if someone had monitored all of Logan’s and her movements.
“All these… must be connected to Sarah. But… what’s scarier is the person hiding behind Sarah. ”
Logan struggled and said, “He’s already… targeting us.”
Cate shuddered. “Did you tell Shaun about this?”
“ I did, but… they think I’m lying.” Logan laughed bitterly. “Boss, you… You have a bad eye. I’m even… stronger than him.”
“ I’m sorry. Can you stand it?” Cate looked at him worriedly.
“The most agonizing thing… is the withdrawal symptoms.” Logan was gasping. “But… the pain in my body helps me stay awake and control… myself. Besides, death… is nothing. I owe you my life anyway.”
“Don’t say any more. I’ll get you out of here.”
Cate held his hands and swore with reddened eyes.
The metal doors suddenly opened. Shaun stood at the door. When he saw both of their hands tightly clasped together, hostility flashed across his eyes.
“Looks like not only do you not want your finger, but you don’t even want your hand anymore.”
Shaun walked over in long strides. He yanked Cate away and stomped on the back of Logan’s hand hard.
“ Stop it!” Cate could not tolerate it anymore and punched Shaun.
Shaun was caught off guard and staggered
backward after getting hit. He felt his blood boiling i n his chest. However, the pain he felt was incomparable to the pain in his heart.
“You actually hit me for another man’s sake! ” Shaun stared at Cate angrily like a lion that was about to go on a rampage. “Since you care about him that much, I’ll kill him.”
“Shaun, if you dare kill him, I’ll die right in front of you,” Cate threatened him furiously.
“You love him?” Shaun’s gaze was like a demon’s gaze.
“I don’t love him, but he’s an important family member of mine.” Cate raised her reddened
eyes. “In those two years, Mireya and I had gone through many hardships when we were overseas. If it weren’t for Logan’s protection, I would’ve been dead already. I saved him before, and I asked him to protect me by my side for ten years. In these ten years, I can’t let him die.”
Shaun’s gaze turned better, but it was still awful. “If so, why were you grabbing his hand just now?
You’re my woman. I don’t allow you to hold any other man’s hand.”
“I’m your woman? ” Cate chuckled, but her smile looked more awful than someone who was crying. “Forget it. I was never your woman from the start. It’s Sarah. I won’t have that sort of fantasy anymore.”
Shaun’s expression changed. “Enough. If you hadn’t hurt Sarah, I wouldn’t be treating you this way. You’re the one who’s in the wrong. You’ve never once put yourself in my shoes. I even suspect … you only got in a relationship with me in order to get revenge on Sarah and me.”
“Yes, I am getting revenge on you. I served you until you were satisfied every night.” Cate laughed bitterly. “ I never wanted your protection nor your wealth. I even cooked for you and warmed your bed. Eldest Young Master Lyons, tell me, where can you find a woman like me?”
Shaun was speechless from her words, but what he felt more was regret. “As long as you sincerely repent, beg for Sarah’s forgiveness, and apologize, I can forgive you.”
“Haha.” Logan, who was sprawled on the floor, suddenly laughed. “Boss, this is the man you fell in love with? What pile of trash is he?”
“Looks like I’ve been going easy on you these days.” Shaun narrowed his eyes scarily.
Cate’s pretty face was expressionless. “Shaun, you don’t need to forgive me anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Shaun was taken aback.
“What does she mean? Don’t you understand it yet?” Logan laughed sarcastically. “ It means that she… doesn’t need to be with you anymore. Do you think you’re the… only man in the world?”
Shaun’s expression changed. He stared at Cate without budging.
Cate’s eyes were like stagnant lake water— calm without any ripples.
“What he said is right. If we were officially dating before, then I’m saying this formally. Shaun, let’s break up. It’s impossible for me to be with you anymore. It’ll never be possible again. Therefore, it’s not important whether you forgive me or not.”
Shaun looked at the woman in front of him who had a calm, determined expression. His strong heart shuddered hard.
A sense of indescribable helplessness shrouded him.
Cate was so close to him at that moment, yet i t was as if there were mountains and rivers between them.
No one would know that he had never thought of breaking up. Even when Rodney kneeled in front of him… Even when he knew she was the one who instructed Logan, he wanted to use Logan as a
scapegoat. As long as she turned over a new leaf, he would forgive her.
“Don’t you dare.”
After a long while, he spoke with a hoarse voice.
“ Shaun, you should never have chopped his finger. Cate’s eyes were filled with contempt. “He’s my family. I treat him as my brother. Have you ever thought of what it feels like to have your family member get their finger chopped off? A broken
bone or a flesh wound can heal.
