Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1265
Catherine had heard about Lea’s suffering.
She was fortunate that Ethan had tried to warn her and Tracy let her know about it. Otherwise, she would have
ended up in the same situation as Lea.
“Mommy, draw with us, okay?” Suzie ran to her with some pencils and pestered her.
Catherine immediately turned all her attention to the kids.
Due to her presence, the kids ate obediently, which was a rare occurrence.
After finishing their meals, the kids dragged her to play football.
Toward the end of the activity, Catherine was exhausted, so she just watched Shaun play with them at the side.
Lea walked to Catherine and gazed at those figures on the lawn. With a smile, she said, “It’s been a while since

these two kids were this happy. Although they call Shaun ‘scummy dad’, they’ve slowly accepted him. Lucas is no
exception.”
Catherine bit her thin lip. “Aunty Lea, what are you trying to say?”
“I just hope that you’ll give Shaun a chance.”
Lea added in agony, “As Shaun’s mother, I’m largely responsible for what happened between you and him. When I
built another family back then, I didn’t care about him, which caused him to feel lonely and lack affection. Sarah
appeared right when he was most miserable and helpless, so he treated her like the gleam of light in his life. But
just like me, he didn’t know that some people
might’ve approached him with a hidden agenda.”
Catherine was momentarily startled. “What do you mean?”
“I found out that Sarah was admitted into the same mental hospital as Shaun one month after his admission. I
heard it was because she was traumatized by her mom’s death, so she voluntarily stayed there for treatment.
Among all the kids in the mental hospital, she happened to be interested in Shaun and only played with him…”

Catherine was dumbfounded. “Are you saying that Sarah already knew who Shaun was back then and deliberately
got into that hospital to approach him?
“How could this be? She was still a little kid back then…”
Lea shook her head. “At that point, the Neeson family couldn’t be bothered about Sarah. Also, there was Charity in
the family, so she needed to search for a strong backing. Hence, she thought she should try to hold onto Shaun.
Even though he was mentally ill, he was still the young master of the Hill family. His future was limitless. The facts
today have proven that Sarah seized the chance.”
Catherine went silent for a moment before she asked, “But how did Sarah find out that Shaun was in that mental
hospital? Shaun’s illness was kept a secret back then.”
“I forgot to tell you that Sarah’s aunt worked as the office manager of the mental hospital for a year.
Later, she was transferred, ” Lea responded with her eyes resting on Catherine.
For a long time, Catherine did not utter a word. Sarah already had such thoughts when she was still so young. What
a scheming person she was.

“Does Shaun know about it?”
Lea shook her head. “No. He already hates Sarah so much. Just let it be. I don’t want him to know that Sarah has
been plotting against him for more than 20 years.”
Catherine was at a loss for words.
If she were in Shaun’s shoes, she felt that she would erupt with rage after the truth dawned on her.
“If I had provided him with a complete family, he might not have been taken advantage of.” Lea suddenly looked at
her. “Just like Wesley and your marriage. Even though Lucas and Suzie gave you their blessings, they refused to
stay there with you. They might be young, but they know that’s your home, not theirs.”
Somehow, Catherine’s heart clenched and her face paled a little.
Lea continued, “I’ve talked to Suzie. She was actually afraid that you’d be pregnant with Wesley’s
child and not love her and Lucas as much as you do now. But they didn’t want to let you know about it for fear that
you’d be unhappy.”
“Shaun isn’t a good person. Considering that he has done many wrong things, it’s only normal that he doesn’t
expect to get your forgiveness. Having said that, you guys already know each other well. If you look for another
partner in the future, can you be sure that you guys will know each other this well? That other men won’t be like
Wesley?”
”Granny, Mommy, I just scored a goal. Did you see it?” All of a sudden, Suzie ran to them excitedly.
