Catherine felt like her eyes were being pricked by something.
She tried to hold it in, but her eyes still reddened.
"Shaun, is there something wrong with you?" She lost control and scolded him.
Shaun gazed at her reddened eyes, and suddenly, he did not feel so self-conscious or nervous anymore. On the contrary, his lips lifted in a sweet smile. "You're concerned about me."

Catherine was too pissed off by Shaun to say anything.
He was in this state, yet he still said he was concerned about him. Was that the point?
"Cathy, I'm really happy. It seems like chopping my finger off was worth it." Shaun said tenderly, "If I
knew earlier, I wouldn’t have delayed it until today. I would've chopped it long ago."
“Shaun, actually, I..." Catherine felt a lump in her throat.
"Cathy, don't say anything. Listen to me."
Shaun used his other perfectly fine hand to cover her mouth. "You told me before that you treat Logan as
your family and that if I chopped his fingers off, it’d be impossible for us to be together. However, I went crazy and still did it anyway. In fact, I had another reason. I was jealous of Logan. I was very uncomfortable seeing you care so much about another man. But it's been proven that I was wrong."
"Although you’ve agreed to make up with me, I understand you did that for the children. You barely take the initiative to call, message, or meet me. There are hurdles between us. Sarah is the first hurdle, while Logan is the second. I may not be able to compensate you for the first hurdle, so I must compensate you for the second. If not, even if we get back together, we can never return to the relationship we had in the past."
After he spoke, he hugged Catherine tightly.
"Cathy, my memories of the past are jumbled up, and I can't remember them anymore. However, after you came back to Australia, we were in a relationship for a short period. Although it was very short, it was unforgettable to me. I clearly knew you approached m e on purpose to get revenge on me, but I was still very happy. I was the stupid one for not knowing how to cherish you properly. Can you give me another chance again?”
He lowered his head and looked at her with a deep gaze full of anticipation.
