Shaun’s hand froze in mid-air, and his mouth was full of bitterness. He finally knew the taste of reaping what one sowed.
What on earth had he done to reduce a person to this state?
The Catherine from before was bright and delicate, full of confidence.
He often saw how narcissistic she was in front of a mirror, as though she believed herself to be the most beautiful person in the world.
He missed that cute and mischievous girl.
"Come out. Don't hide under the covers. You’ll suffocate." He reached out to yank the covers away but saw her biting her fingers hard. Her face was streaked with tears.
"Alright, I'll go out. I'll ask someone to bring you some food since you haven't eaten all night."
Shaun sighed and turned to leave.
Before long, a nurse entered.
When Catherine saw that Shaun had left, the fear in her heart dissipated a little, but her body still hurt badly. She had no appetite at all and slept after taking
a few bites.
When she woke up the next day, the sky was already bright.
Shaun stood in front of the window and was on the phone, speaking in a low voice.
"I'm not going to the company today. Cancel the meeting."
"But Deputy Chairman Hill will be attending today’s meeting-"
"I said cancel it, so cancel it."
Shaun turned around and saw her doe-like eyes.
