Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
That scene made Shaun’s blood boil, and his heart could not help but clench in pain.
He hurriedly pulled a bath towel and rushed over to wrap the tiny body in it tightly. Then, he picked Suzie
up in his arms and quickly walked out of the bathroom.
While Suzie was carried to the bedroom bed, she sobbed. “It hurts… It’s so cold…”
Shaun touched her skin, and when he found it icy cold, he checked her body to see a bruise on her
elbow.
“ Suzie, it’s okay. Uncle will dress you right away.” Shaun took the quilt and wrapped it around her. As
soon as he turned around, he bumped into Sarah, who was coming over with a set of children’s clothes.
She looked flustered and aggrieved. “ Shaun, I’m sorry. I didn’t know how she suddenly fell…”
“I told you to bathe her, but is this how you do it? You were just sitting there when she fell.”
A wave of inexplicable anger welled up in Sarah. It was the first time Shaun could not control his anger
towards her.
“I… I didn’t mean to. I was so shocked that I couldn’t react in time.”
Sarah’s eyes teared up at his yelling. She bit her lip and reached out to Suzie. “ Suzie, Aunty will dress
you.”
“No, I don’t want you to dress me. ” Suzie shrank back in fear, her eyes full of resistance.
“Enough. I’ll do it.” Shaun took the clothes and quickly helped Suzie put them on.
To the side, Sarah clenched her fists in anger with a pale face.
She could not believe that Shaun had gotten angry at her time and time again because of a child. Was
that really necessary? Suzie was not even his.
After getting dressed, Shaun carried Suzie to the next room.
When he took the ointment over, Suzie shrank and hid to one side with tears hanging from her
eyelashes. “I don’t want it.”
“Be good, Suzie. You’ll only get better if you apply the ointment.” Although Shaun was very distressed,
he had to speak in a serious tone.
“I don’t want to. I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want Mommy. I want to go to Aunty Cathy.” Suzie
buried her little face and choked. There was a hint o f fear on her face.
“Aunty Cathy would be asleep by now. Suzie, be a good girl, okay?” Shaun comforted her.
However, Suzie simply cried. “It hurts. I miss Aunty Cathy. I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Shaun was at a loss for words. All along, Suzie had been well behaved and understanding in front of
him. Even if she did cry, it was because she missed her mother or that Liam left her alone.
However, this was the first time he saw her like this. “Why don’t you like being here? Didn’t you say you
wanted to come to live with Uncle?”
Fear flashed across Suzie’s face, but she gritted her teeth and did not say a word.
“Suzie, you can say what you want to say. ” Shaun stroked her head gently.
Suzie looked up at him for a while and suddenly cried in his chest. “Uncle won’t hate Suzie?”
“Of course not. Suzie, you’re so cute.” Shaun felt upset when he heard the child’s careful tone.
“But… But Aunty said you won’t like me.” Suzie choked up and whispered, “She said you’ll have children
in the future, and you won’t like Suzie anymore.”
Shaun’s handsome face suddenly sank. “Are you referring to Aunty Sarah?”
“Yeah.” Not knowing what else to do, Suzie nodded her little head with a timid tone.
“She said that Uncle and Daddy have different fathers, and Uncle doesn’t like Daddy, and you both don’t
have a good relationship. If I… get in the way o f your relationship, Uncle will not like me anymore, but…
I didn’t get in the way of your relationship. ”
Her eyes overflowed with tears again, and she repeated, “Uncle, Suzie didn’t get in the way of your
relationship with Aunty. So… so don’t hate me, okay? I want Aunty and you to be well. I’m scared Daddy
won’t want me anymore, and Uncle won’t like me either.”
“No, Uncle likes you.”
Shaun said in a low voice, “Suzie, when did Aunty tell you those things?”
“When I was taking a bath, ” Suzie said softly.
