Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine felt bitter. “Yeah, I should resent him. I should resent him for not trusting me in Melbourne, for
humiliating me again and again, and for hurting me. Having said that, I couldn’t help worrying about him
when I found out that something happened to him. It pained me to learn about his difficult childhood. I
fooled myself into believing that I’ve stopped having feelings for him, but I can’t fool my heart. The more I
get along with him, the deeper I’m falling for him.”
She stared affectionately at the unconscious man on the bed.
Let bygones be bygones. From today onward, she wanted to be nice to him.
Now that Joel was in a coma, Shaun was her only family member.
A look of relief crossed Chester’s face, yet Hadley, who was beside him, looked anxious. “If Eldest Young
Master Hill can’t work, how is the press conference on the microchip going to take place? What’s more,
news about Eldest Young Master Hill’s mental condition is spreading like wildfire. We must subside the
commotion.”
Catherine was stunned. “Isn’t there anyone else who can take charge of Shaunarah Corporation at a
time like this?”
“There is, but it has already been announced that Eldest Young Master Hill would be the one attending
the conference. I’m afraid that his absence during the emergency will cause an uproar and negatively
impact Shaunarah’s future development.”
Catherine frowned and thought it over for half a minute before she suddenly rose to her feet. “I’ll attend
on his behalf. As his wife, I’ll assume responsibility for it.”
Hadley and Chester were both astonished.
“But there’ll surely be a lot of reporters bombarding you with questions about Eldest Young Master Hill’s
condition during the press conference tomorrow…”
“I’ll respond to the reporters’ questions.” Catherine turned her fierce eyes to Hadley. “Help me gather
some information. I want the public to know that Shaun is not a lunatic.”
Hadley shuddered. All of a sudden, he was touched by her act. At least there was someone who cared
for Eldest Young Master Hill in his life.
…
The next day.
The villa at the seaside was facing the sea. Spring had come and flowers were in full bloom.
After being unconscious for a night, the man on the bed opened his eyes and sat up. He rapidly rushed
to the door without putting on his clothes.
At that instant, the door was pushed open. Hadley walked in with a look of surprise. “You’re awake,
Eldest Young Master…”
Shaun pushed him away and headed downstairs. After rummaging around, he tugged Hadley at his shirt
with bloodshot eyes. “Where is she? Where did she go?”
Hadley came to his senses. “Young Madam—”
“She left, right?” Shaun interrupted his sentence and roared, “She lied to me! She promised to stay by
my side during my treatment and prepare roast pork for me. They’re all lies.”
“Eldest Young Master Hill, you’ve misunderstood her.” Fearing that Shaun would go out of control again,
Hadley immediately said, “Young Madam is attending Shaunarah’s press conference on your behalf.”
“What?” Shaun narrowed his eyes.
“Young Master Jewell said that you’re not fit enough to go out, but more and more scandals about you
are spreading out there and it’s hard to stop them. The reporters have already crowded the venue of the
press conference since last night. Because of that, Young Madam decided to attend the press
conference on the microchip in your stead and clarify your condition as well.”
Shaun glared at Hadley furiously. “Are those from the top management of the corporation dead? Also,
how could you possibly let her deal with those ferocious reporters? No way, she can’t handle it. I must
hurry there…”
“Eldest Young Master Hill, you can’t go there.” Hadley stopped him.
“Get out of my way. You’re just my subordinate. How dare you block me?!” Shaun flew into a rage.
“Hadley is blocking you for your own good.”
Chester suddenly came in through the entrance. He had never been this stern before. “Look at yourself.
You know full well that the reporters are going to pose terrible questions at you during the press
conference today. Are you 100% sure that you won’t be affected by them and won’t lose control?”
Shaun’s throat tightened, and his five fingers curled up into a fist.
