“You asked Summer to convince me that Shaun was having the time of his life with his parents, but it isn’t true! He’s not doing well! Look at all his injuries! You don’t care about him at all, just like how you don’t care about me! You’re nothing but liars!”
As Audrey spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks. Her pitiful sobs were both heart-wrenching and amusing.
How could she compare herself to an orphan boy? She’s our flesh and blood! We were protective of her in the past, so she hasn’t experienced much. When she meets anyone that she likes now, she thinks the world of them and cherishes them whole-heartedly. That kind of behavior will only hurt her. However, that’s something we’ll have to worry about later. I can’t deny that we are at fault in the current situation.
Embarrassment flashed in Ashton’s eyes. He turned his gaze toward Shaun and pondered silently for a while. Just as he was about to say something, the door to the ward swung open. Then, Yuna and James walked in, carrying an insulated lunch box.
“Oh, you’re here, Mr. Fuller,” Yuna greeted amiably. Holding up the lunch box, she walked toward Shaun and said, “Shaun, I’ve made you some chicken soup and congee. Why don’t you eat some?”
As she spoke, she placed the lunch box on the table and was about to serve the dishes she had prepared.
“It’s fine. I’ve already eaten,” Shaun refused flatly. There was even a tinge of loathing in his tone.
Yuna stiffened, and the smile froze on her face. It took her a while to return to her senses and compose herself. She continued smiling as she packed up the lunch box and said agreeably, “That’s all right. You can eat it when you get hungry later. Your father bought this insulated lunch box when he was overseas. It can keep the food warm for one whole night, so there’s no rush.”
From the moment Yuna and James entered the ward, Shaun had been frowning. He looked uncomfortable.
From the looks of it, they’re responsible for Shaun’s injuries.
