Shaun’s expression changed. "Go and call the ambulance to send Sarah to the hospital. I'm coming back now.”
Upon ending the call, he pressed on the accelerator as far as it would go and soon arrived at the entrance of Hackett Institute. "I'll leave Suzie with you here tonight. Tomorrow, I'll come and pick her up in the morning.” 3
At this point, Suzie had already fallen asleep in Catherine’s arms.
Catherine narrowed her eyes. When she gazed at Suzie's pure and sweet appearance, her heart suddenly ached.
Just now, this little kid had actually said that her scummy dad was quite nice, so she wanted Catherine t o get back together with him. Nevertheless, he was now abandoning them without hesitation to meet another woman. 3
"Now that she's so heavy, do you think I can carry her upstairs from the entrance of this neighborhood alone?” Catherine gave a sarcastic laugh.
Shaun was stunned and answered without a second thought, "TH carry her upstairs, then."
"Shaun, why are you rushing to leave? You’re not even bothered about your niece. Is it because something has happened to Sarah?”
All of a sudden, Catherine fixed her eyes on him. In fact, she had heard some parts of the conversation when he was on the phone.
Shaun gulped, knowing that he should lie to her. However, at the sight of her dark yet clear eyes, he was at a loss for words. A moment later, he could not help but explain, "There was a blackout in the villa. Perhaps Sarah couldn’t see in the dark, so she fell when going down the stairs..."
"Has someone called the ambulance to send her to the hospital?" Catherine asked sharply.
"Yael has called the ambulance..."
"So why are you rushing there? Are you a doctor? Or her boyfriend? Her husband?" Upon hearing Catherine's words, Shaun began to look awkward.
"She... She's badly injured..." Only after some time did h e force the sentence out of his mouth.
