What the f*ck. Freya had known Catherine for ten years, but this was her first time seeing Catherine act s o well. Catherine could not even stop looking behind just a minute ago.
"Okay."
Shaun chuckled. After that, he pulled the door open and got into the car.
Freya started the car. With Catherine and Shaun quiet in the car, the eerie silence made Freya feel so uncomfortable that she could not help but start a topic. "Why were you walking alone on the road? Where's your chauffeur?"
"I couldn’t find him." Shaun explained softly, "Before I crawled out of the shaft, my phone fell and broke, so I have no way of contacting anyone."
"Use my phone to call your family, then. I'll send you t o a nearby hospital. You can ask your family to pick you up there." As Freya was speaking, she observed Catherine, who was still engrossed in her game.
"It's fine. Just drop me off there. I'm on bad terms with my family. The ones I get along well with are either too old or too young, or she has married someone else
Shaun spoke in a helpless and melancholic tone.
Catherine, who was in the middle of her game, was speechless.
Since when did she get along well with him?
Not knowing what to say, Freya decided to remain silent.
20 minutes later, she finally dropped Shaun off at the hospital.
After opening the door, Shaun got out and turned around. His handsome face revealed a pitiful look under the wan streetlights. "Can you lend me some money? My wallet fell in the shaft as well, so I can't pay to see the doctor. It happens that Chester isn’t around. He has gone out of town to attend a conference."
This time, Catherine could not resist asking, "Shaun Hill, are you treating us like fools?”
"I’m not lying. The Snow family has invited the Jewell family tonight, but Chester isn’t in Canberra," Shaun explained with an innocent expression.
Freya could prove this too. "It's true that Chester isn't i n Canberra."
Shaun immediately continued, "Although I’m not as powerful as I was before, I will not owe you guys my medical fees. If you don’t believe me, you can frisk m e."
