Shaun did not go after the driver because he wanted t o protect the kids. Moreover, since the incident took place in public with surveillance cameras around, the police should be able to capture the hit-and-run driver soon.
Shortly after someone called the police, the police hurried over and took Shaun's statement. Meanwhile, Suzie was weeping over the phone with Catherine.
"Mommy. Mommy. Boo-hoo..."
The minute Catherine heard Suzie cry, she was shocked. "Darling, what’s wrong?"
"Mommy, something scary happened. Just now, a car sped toward Lucas and me, and we almost died.
Luckily, our scummy dad pulled us out of the car." Suzie could not stop sobbing.
Her words sent a chill down Catherine's spine. "Where are you guys? I'll be there right away. Pass the phone t o your dad." 1
"Scummy dad is speaking to the police now. We're at the place where you bought me the cake earlier." As Suzie was speaking, she began to bawl, which made Catherine overwrought.
"Don't be scared, darling. I'll be there in a moment."
Upon hanging up, Wesley tightened his grip on the steering wheel calmly. "Did something happen to the kids? Where are they? Let's get there now."
"Mm." Catherine's mind was in a mess.
After she told Wesley the address, he sped to the scene. Nevertheless, the road had been blocked due to an accident. Since Wesley's car could not enter the area, Catherine unfastened her seat belt. "I'll just walk there on my own."
With that, she swiftly got out of the car and left before Wesley could reply.
Wesley punched the steering wheel. Soon, he dialed a number. "Dumb*ss, why did you fail again?"
"Shaun carried the kids out of the car after he came out of the bakery." The person replied, "He might have seen the car speeding toward him."
"Duh, dumb*ss," Wesley insulted. "Have you cleaned u p the mess?"
"Don't worry. There won’t be any problem.”
Even so, Wesley felt exasperated that he had wasted another chance and money. Shaun must have nine lives, or else how could he be so fortunate?
