Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Shaun, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time as well. Cathy is pregnant with your children. Can’t you
treat her better? Must you simply abandon her in the manor alone every day? She needs someone she
can depend on,” Freya shouted angrily, “Can you stop being so moody and petulant? She’s a person
with limits too.”
“Shut up! You have no right to meddle in our affairs.” Shaun pushed her away and lifted Catherine up into
the car.
Catherine closed her eyes.
Honestly, she was furious at how rude he was being to her friend.
Of course, perhaps he had always thought they were too inferior to be on his level.
“What’s the matter? You can’t even be bothered to look at me now?”
He pinched her chin as a shadow veiled over his features. “Open your eyes.”
Catherine felt lethargy spread across her body. His elegant face appeared the second she opened her
eyes again. It was still that same face, but her heart ached at the unfamiliarity. “Shaun, Freya is right.
Can you stop being so moody and petulant? It feels like you could give me the stars when you’re in a
good mood but you’ll lock me up in the freezer when you’re in a bad temper. I’m tired of living like this.”
“Do you think I want to do that? Why can’t you be a good wife? You know that I hate Charity but you
threatened me with the babies just to meet her.”
His eyes were overflowing with rage. “Are our children less important to you than Charity that you’re
willing to use them against me?”
She scoffed. “Do you think I had another option? I’m a human being too but you’re locking me up in a
cage like a bird. I’ve lost all my freedom. I would rather not have your children if I had known this would
be my life after marrying you.”
His body trembled.
A long time later, his hateful eyes were filled with disappointment. “Catherine, you don’t deserve to be a
mother.” He scoffed.
She felt as if something had snapped inside her and she screamed at him hysterically, “Divorce me if you
don’t think I deserve to be a mother! Go get yourself someone who can be a match for you!”
He clenched his fists into balls as he felt his temples throbbing. “Hadley, send her back to the manor.”
“No, I’m not going back to that cage.”
“You don’t have a choice,” he said, glaring at her.
She parted her lips but no words came out. Instead, tears came flowing down her cheeks as she began
punching him on the back. “Shaun, why are you doing this to me? Tell me what I did wrong! I’ve lost
everything, my face, my freedom…”
Even those two friends who truly cared about her. One was imprisoned and the other one was leaving
soon.
The only man she loved was treating her indifferently too.
“You’ve lost your mind…”
The man shouted just as she fell to the ground.
He caught her immediately but she had already passed out.
“To the hospital,” he instructed angrily.
…
In the hospital.
After a series of examinations, the doctor said helplessly, “Eldest Young Master Hill, I’ve told you before
that your wife’s pregnancy is still unstable so she shouldn’t be agitated.”
“What actually happened to her?” Shaun asked in concern.
“I think she’s been suppressing a lot of anger and sorrow lately, not to mention that the hormonal
fluctuations in her body are making her emotional. You should be more considerate and thoughtful
toward her so that she’s always in a good mood. As her husband, you should try not to agitate her often.”
The doctor heaved a sigh. “I’ve seen many pregnant women falling into depression. They’re the most
emotionally vulnerable at this stage. Spend more time with her.”
He frowned. “She doesn’t need my company.”
The doctor smiled. “Of course she does. I’m a woman myself and I’ve given birth before too. Despite
what she says, every woman still yearns for her husband’s companionship during and after pregnancy.”
Shaun appeared startled.
