After a while, Audrey approached Shaun again. His hand was resting on the edge of the couch, so she

gently turned his hand over and pushed the lollipop she had prepared earlier into his palm. In a solemn

tone, she said, “Eat this, Shaun. It’ll make the pain go away. Eat it…”

Shaun still did not say a word. However, his eyes gave an almost imperceptible flick toward Audrey after

she retracted her hand. There was tenderness in his gaze, just like how he used to look at her.

Soon, the familiar sound of an ambulance’s siren cut through the air. It was coming from downstairs. The

paramedics rushed up and wheeled Shaun away in a wheelchair.

As soon as they were outside, they bumped into Yuna and James.

Yuna lunged toward Shaun when she spotted him and fell into a half-kneeling position in front of the

wheelchair. With tears rolling down her face, she wailed, “My dearest son, what happened? It’s all my

fault! I didn’t take good care of you!”

Sobbing, she forcefully pulled Shaun into her embrace without giving him a chance to say anything.

She put on such a convincing act that if we did not know better, we would have fallen for it.

Instead, we merely watched the scene with indifference.

Emery did not hold back as she said in a tone dripping with sarcasm, “That’s right. Hug him harder so

that he passes out. It’d be so convenient if he were to die now.”

When Yuna heard that, she scrambled to her feet and stood aside, wiping her tears away. “How could

you say something so mean? Is it wrong for parents to be heartbroken at their child’s pain?”

Emery folded her arms, tapping her fingers against her arm. As sharp-tongued as ever, she replied, “I

didn’t say that. You don’t have to be so sensitive about it if it isn’t true.”

Emery had always been the best at making snide comebacks. Combined with her fearlessness, Yuna

was no match for Emery at all. Emery’s aura was so imposing that Yuna was rendered speechless.

Sensing that things were getting out of hand, James hurriedly grabbed Yuna’s arm and stepped aside to

let the paramedics carry Shaun into the ambulance.

An awkward atmosphere hung in the air after the ambulance left, but since Shaun was the top priority at

the moment, we all got into our cars and rushed to the hospital.

By the time the nurse finished tending to Shaun’s injuries, he had already fallen asleep. Audrey refused

to leave, afraid that she would not see Shaun again if she left. Hence, we stayed and waited in the ward.

Yuna and James pestered the attending doctor, bombarding the doctor with a barrage of questions about

Shaun’s follow-up treatment. They make it look like Shaun truly is the apple of their eye, but it’s probably

just an attempt to put on a perfect front.

It was almost dark when Shaun finally woke up. Audrey fed him some chicken soup, and he gradually

regained some color in his cheeks.

“Mrs. Fuller… Please take Ms. Audrey home. I’ll be fine by myself,” Shaun said slowly. It was still difficult

for him to speak.

“I’m not going back! I want to stay here with Shaun!” Audrey protested.

Before I could even say anything, Audrey had already thrown a tantrum. She puffed out her cheeks

furiously and turned her back to me, sulking.

I haven’t even done anything, yet she already thinks of me as her ‘enemy.’ She’s even siding with an

outsider instead of her mother at such a young age. Gosh, what’s it going to be like when she grows up?

I could not help but sigh as those thoughts crossed my mind. At that moment, Ashton appeared at the

door and walked in with an impassive expression.

“Why are you here?” I asked.

“You were the one who took something of mine with you when you left the house,” he replied. By the time

he finished his sentence, he had already strode over to the hospital bed.

I was puzzled. “What did I take?”

For convenience’s sake, I had only taken a small handbag that could store my phone and bank card.

He answered solemnly, “You took my soul. You were out for so long that I’m feeling rather weak now.”

I shot him an exasperated look. Honestly, read the room before you crack a joke like that!

Ashton understood the meaning behind the look I gave him, but he did not respond. He looked around

the room and saw Audrey. She was still fuming silently.

“Audrey Stovall, didn’t you notice that I’ve just arrived?” Ashton asked, feigning a stern attitude.

Audrey seemed to be even more infuriated. She replied coldly, “I did, but I’m going to ignore you. You’re

a liar, Daddy. And so is Mommy!”
