Chapter 34 Ungrateful Daughter Got Sick
Finished
A single shadow had been enough for him to secretly admire for so many years. Now that I was standing right in front of him, how could he not lose his mind?
No, he already had.
Ethan had stood in place, watching as I got into the car. Only then had he turned around and returned to his own. Our cars passed each other head–on, and the rear window of his car rolled down. Ethan gazed over with deep, piercing eyes.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly, refusing to meet his gaze.
Sigh, did he even figure it out? Not only was I married, but I was also a mother.
By the time evening fell, Shawn knocked on my office door. “Let’s go. I’ve talked to Yuna. She’s willing to go home.”
I got up and followed him to Susanna’s villa.
On the way, Shawn suddenly reached over, grabbed my fingers, and played with them. Those refreshing and impressive design sketches today… Were they really your idea?”
“Mm,” I responded calmly.
“How did you come up with them? I never knew you had such a creative mind,” Shawn said, sounding
curious.
“Hubby, that’s your fault,” I said, turning to face him. “You never took the time to understand me. You were only ever interested in my body.”
Shawn’s handsome face froze for a moment. The next second, the streetlights cast a faint glow on his cars- they had turned slightly red.
“Are you blaming me?” His voice was low and magnetic. If it were in a previous life, if he spoke to me in that gentle and affectionate tone, I wouldn’t have let him go that night.
Now, I felt nothing. I just wanted to pull my hand away from his grasp as quickly as possible.
“I just feel wronged,” I said softly.
“So, you are blaming me.” Shawn reached for my left ring finger. “Why haven’t you put your on?”

“Tomorrow’s the weekend. 1 was planning to go take a look with Melanie,” I replied casually.
“How about I go with you instead?” Shawn said, trying to assert his presence as my husband.

“No need. You should stay and take care of our daughter,” I said, deciding to let Shawn spend more time with Yuna. After all, whoever took care of the child ended up going crazy. That said, it was strange- whenever Yuna was with Shawn, she became well–behaved. She didn’t throw tantrums, didn’t scream, or make a fuss. But the moment she was with me, she turned into a little tyrant, completely unreasonable.

mood, cursing out her card buddies right in front of Shawn.

Shawn immediately reached into his pocket and discreetly slipped a card into Susanna’s hand where I
couldn’t see.
Her expression brightened instantly. “Shawn, Yuna is sleeping upstairs. Go check on her”
Shawn glanced at me and said, “Go upstairs and bring Yuna down. It’s time for us to leave.”
I rushed upstairs and saw Yuna lying in bed, her breathing heavy and her face flushed.
I reached out and pressed a hand to her forehead–she was burning up.
I immediately picked her up. Yuna called out “Mommy” in a daze, her little hands clinging tightly to my neck. “Mommy, I feel unwell….
As I carried her downstairs, Shawn came over and took her into his arms. The moment he felt how alarmingly hot she was, his expression darkened. He immediately turned to Susanna. “Mom, Yuna has a fever. Didn’t you notice?”
Susanna sprang up from the couch. “What? She’s sick? Oh no! I had no idea! Hurry, take her to the hospital!”
Shawn’s face instantly darkened. Without another word, he walked to the door.
Panicked, Susanna rushed over and grabbed my arm. “Is Shawn angry with me? Yuna was perfectly fine this afternoon–she was running around! I really didn’t notice when she got sick.”
“Don’t worry. She probably just caught a cold,” I reassured her before getting into the car.
We headed straight to the hospital, and even at night, it was still fairly crowded. Since we hadn’t called ahead, we had to register and wait in line. Luckily, the wait wasn’t too long–after about ten minutes, it was
our turn.
While we waited, Yuna suddenly threw up. Terrified, she burst into tears, her little face turning pale as she clung to Shawn. “Daddy, am I going to die? If I do, will you and Mommy have another baby–a little brother?
Shawn’s heart ached as he gently comforted her. “You’re not going to die. It’s just a cold.”
you
and Mommy still want to have a baby brother, don’t you?” Yuna sobbed as she spoke. “I don’t want a little brother. I just want Daddy and Mommy. I want you to love only me.”
Shawn glanced at me, and I immediately spoke firmly. “Yuna, you’re being too possessive. Whether we have another child or not is a decision for me and your dad, not you.”
“But if you have a baby brother, you’ll forget about me! I don’t want that… I don’t want him to take your love away!” Feverish and confused. Yuna spoke her fears out loud, not caring how we adults might feel about
- it.
