    Chapter 167


    “Yeah, I’m fortunate to have met you. You’re my lucky star, my savior.” Catherine did not feel like


    arguing with a patient.


    As soon as she finished speaking, Wesley sent her a WhatsApp message. [I heard from Joseph that


    something happened to you when you were working. Are you okay? Can Ie and visit you? I’m


    quite worried.]


    Catherine sighed deep down. Indeed, Wesley treated her quite well.


    Sadly, there was already no need for her to take revenge on Ethan. There was no need for her to marry


    Ethan’s uncle as well.


    She replied, [Thank you for your concern. I’m fine. The renovation progress of the vi won’t be


    affected.]


    Wesley: [The vi project isn’t urgent. What matters most is that you’re safe.]


    “Who are you chatting with?” Shaun asked glumly.


    “Freya.” Catherine immediately put down her phone. When she told the lie, she did not blush, nor did


    her heart race.


    “I thought you were chatting with Wesley, Ethan, and that bunch of people. You’d better not let me find


    out that you’re staying in touch with them through Whatsapp,” Shaun warned.


    “…You’re just overthinking.”


    Catherine got a shock, wondering whether he had X-ray vision.


    “Uh,e here. My injuries are starting to hurt again.” Shaun nced at her resentfully.


    Catherine was speechless.


    Was Shaun nning to ask her to kiss him again?


    What a fickle man. When she touched him back then, the way he reacted was as if he was going to


    lose his life.


    …


    Shaun was discharged from the hospital after a week.


    As Catherine had been keeping Shaunpany all this while, she had no choice but to take leave.


    Joseph did not me her. After all, she had nearly lost her life because of work. He casually asked,


    “Are you still nning to take on the project under Hudson? Otherwise, I’ll get another designer to do


    it.”


    “I’d like to try again. If I can’t do it, you can have someone else do it.”


    Catherine could not bear to let go of the heftymission. Just as she was thinking about how to deal


    with the matter, Mr. Frank suddenly gave her a call. “Miss Jones, I’m sorry about what happened


    earlier. I’ve tried asking the management about it over thest few days and they’re apologetic about it.


    Therefore, they’ve decided to pass the project regarding the design of the houses to Talton.”

    Catherine was under the impression that she heard it wrong. Regardless, she felt that she could finally


    see light at the end of the tunnel.


    “But we haven’t really discussed it…”


    “Talton Design is always there. Well, I need you toe up with a detailed design n and it’s quite


    urgent. The top management would like to take a look at it the day after tomorrow.”


    Cathrine was torn. The project under Hudson required ten different designs for the houses, which she


    needed to submit the day after tomorrow. It would be a mad rush for her. After hesitating for a moment,


    she nodded in a forthright manner. “Alright, but we need to sign a contract first.”


    “Come to the office in the afternoon and we’ll sign it then.”


    That afternoon, Catherine headed to the sales center again. She got to sign a contract with Hudson


    without having to wait for a long time.


    When she returned to the vi at night, she prepared dinner for Shaun. After helping him take a bath,


    she anxiously said, “I need to burn the midnight oil sketching in the studyter. Go to bed early and


    leave me alone.”


    Shaun frowned. Even though he grasped the significance of the young woman’s will to push herself, he


    disliked it. However, he was silent about it.


    Even so, when she continued to stay upte and not go to bed again the next day, he flew into a rage.


    “Catherine, are you crazy? You didn’t sleep well when you had to take care of me in the hospital before


    this. Now that you’re home, you’re not sleeping again. Are you nning to die of cardiac arrest?”


    “I’ll be done after tonight. I’m fine.”


    Catherine sipped on some coffee. Deep down, she was slightly touched. Was he reacting out of


    concern?


    Shaun ordered her in a resolute manner, “I don’t care. Go back to your room and sleep now. It’s not a


    big deal if you die of cardiac arrest. What matters is that nobody’s going to cook for me. I refuse to


    have spent my efforts taking on yourwsuit for nothing.”


    “…”


    His concern for her was just an illusion.


    Catherine gnashed her teeth, then said in a huff, “Don’t worry. Since I’ve promised to cook for you, I’ll


    make sure I won’t die.”
