Catherine laughed sarcastically. "Why didn’t Sarah come home earlier if she wasn’t dead? How is it my fault that her man is married when she was the one who returned late?"
"It's not that she didn’t want to come home but she felt undeserving of Shaun. It's because she..." Rodney’s eyes welled up. "You have no idea what she has been through."
"I don't and I don’t plan to.” Her lips twitched.
He glared back. "Catherine, how can you be this coldblooded?"
She was speechless. "I know you love Sarah but please don't use that to hurt others. You want me to be sympathetic to her? Sure, but what about my marriage and my children? Who's going to pity me?"
"Do you know how they met?"
He took a long puff of the cigarette. "Shaun met Sarah when he was sent to the mental hospital. That's right, she wasn’t ill but she was sent there by the Neeson family nonetheless. His condition gradually turned better with her positivity and kindness. She was like his sunshine during a gloomy day. It was also because
of him that I got to know Sarah. She's a really good person. Even when they weren’t studying in the same school, she wrote him encouraging letters every day from primary school till after they grew up and became successful in life. She's accompanied him for 20 years. 1
"Right, you're married to Shaun but that was when he thought she was dead. He's a responsible man, not to mention now that you're pregnant. Do you think it's nice to be sandwiched in between them?"
Every word that came out from Rodney's mouth pierced through Catherine's heart like sharp knives.
She had no idea that the two of them had met in the mental hospital.
"Sarah studied medicine because of Shaun. She’s dedicating her whole life to him," he said coldly. "Why can't you give them your blessing?"
She laughed sarcastically. "Who will give me and my children blessings then?"
She turned around to push the heavy wooden door. " Rodney, you can't make someone miserable simply because you love Sarah. Your values are crooked because of that woman. A person like you should never get married so as to not hurt others."
