Chapter 2026

“Sister? Aren’t you a few months older than him?” Catherine teased playfully. “Oh well. Unfortunately,
he wasn’t the one you slept with back then. His character is much better than Rodney.”

Freya was stunned. She would not argue with Ryan, nor would they turn against each other. Moreover,
Ryan was quite attentive and warm. If it had been him…

Hold on. What on earth was she thinking?

Ryan was Rodney’s cousin. She should not even think about such a thing at all.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Freya quickly glared at Catherine. “He’s my godbrother and Rodney’s cousin.
Your thoughts are ludicrous.”

She spoke so hastily that she became agitated. Her chest hurt, and she was a little short of breath.

“Fine, fine. I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?” Catherine promptly comforted Freya. “ Since
I’ll be accompanying you in the hospital these few days, I asked Shaun to find out Sarah’s condition.”

She went out to search for Shaun and spotted him talking on the phone at the staircase.

Only after Shaun saw Catherine did he say, “Keep a close eye on her. If there’s anything, just give me
a call.” After hanging up, he said, “Elle just informed me that Sarah is in the emergency room. Her
actual condition is still unknown, but it seems very serious.”

“Where’s Rodney?” Catherine changed the subject anxiously.

“He’s waiting outside the emergency room.” Then, he saw Catherine furrowing her brows, and he
immediately pulled her to him. “What did Freya say? Who actually kidnapped Sarah?”



“ Stop probing into this matter… You can take it as Freya’s doing. Don’t pursue it anymore. The only
thing we can do is prevent Freya from going to jail.” Catherine held his hands tightly. The anger on her
face was apparent. “I hope Rodney is humane enough to not make this a big deal, considering that
Freya gave birth to his child.”

“Don’t worry. When I went to meet Old Master Snow, everyone in the Snow sided with Freya. Let’s all
pressure Rodney. I believe he won’t be bold enough to turn against everyone in the Snow family for the
sake of Sarah,” Shaun said with a smile. “ Frankly speaking, if it were Freya’s doing, I would really
admire her.”



“Alright. Go on over to the Snow family’s house. I need to stay here and look after Freya. I won’t go
home these few days.” Catherine pushed him slightly.

At the thought that he would not be able to hug Catherine to sleep for so many days, he felt a little
reluctant to leave her. “You should inform the Lynches. She needs a caretaker.”

“We’ll hire a caretaker, but there’s no need to inform the Lynches. If Freya’s parents find out that
Rodney kicked and broke one of her ribs, they’ll definitely be worried.”

After Catherine saw Shaun off and returned to the ward, Ryan was already back. He was feeding Freya
soup by the side of the bed. He blew on every spoonful to cool it down before feeding her.

At the scene, a hint of strangeness crossed Catherine’s mind.

She knocked on the door and asked with a smile, “Do you need me to feed you?”

“You’re still here, eh?” Ryan was surprised.



Freya swallowed the soup weakly before she quickly said, “Cathy, why don’t you go home first? Ryan
said that he had found a caretaker for me. After all, you need to look after your kids…”

“It’s fine. Shaun will look after them. I’ll stay here so that you won’t be bored.” Catherine walked up to
her with a grin.

After some thought, Ryan passed the soup to Catherine. “Alright, then. After all, I’m a man. It can be
inconvenient at times.”

Catherine touched the bowl that was filled with boiling soup and glanced at Ryan in admiration.

Regardless of his intentions, it would be bad for Freya’s reputation if she got too close with a man
before she got a divorce. In this regard, Ryan was quite educated.

“Freya, rest well in the hospital. I’ll take care of Dani for you.” Ryan turned around and said softly, “ I’ve
also arranged for someone to guard the door so that nobody will barge in.”

“Thank you…”

Freya was at ease knowing that he had done all she could think of.

“ I haven’t told my parents about this issue, so I’m going to the Lodge to discuss it with them. You don’t
have to worry. ” Ryan reminded her before leaving.
