Catherine was extremely frustrated. She could not possibly say that she was unhappy because the nurse’s last name was Langley.
However, she was not okay with pretending to be generous. "I didn't expect you to listen obediently to that young girl," she said with a pout.
Shaun raised his brows before bending over to sniff her lips. "Hmm, I thought I smelled jealousy.”
"I'm serious.” She slapped him playfully on the back.
The light pressure felt more like a tickle than a slap.
He grabbed her hand instantly and gave it a tiny peck. "I wouldn't have been so obedient in the past and might even be repelled by the idea of having a nurse from the mental hospital close by. However, I'd like to get well sooner for you, so I need to work with the treatment plan. I don’t want to do anything that would hurt you again. Do you understand?"
She bit her lips, suddenly feeling bad for being so petty. "I understand that, but why don’t you find someone who's a little bit older or perhaps a male nurse? I'll be working in the office and leaving you home alone with a young woman..."
The man smiled before lifting her chin so that their
eyes met. "You really are jealous?” "Shaun Hill!" She glared at him with red cheeks. "Stop i t."
"Any secretary or staff in my company is prettier than her. You wouldn’t have the chance to become Mrs. Hill if I hadn’t been so picky," he replied with a smile. "I didn’t see you being so jealous when I was with Melanie. Unless you've been keeping quiet about that."

Embarrassment washed over her face as he exposed the truth.
"I can’t be bothered with this. I'm heading downstairs t o make dinner.” She threw the towel at him and headed for the stairs.
The second she stepped into the kitchen, Shelley approached her with a diet plan. "Young Madam, this i s the diet plan designed specially for Eldest Young Master. Keeping his illness in mind, I recommend his main meals be nutritious and easily digestible. It's best to avoid eating and drinking at an unreasonable amount."
"Alright, thank you." Catherine received the diet plan before she asked, "Have we met before?"
Shelley appeared startled but quickly replaced the surprise with a smile. "Probably not. It’s my first time meeting you anyway, Young Madam. But many people have said that I look familiar." 1
"Perhaps." Catherine nodded.
