Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“I have something else to do. Bye…”
Catherine noticed the call went silent again, so she spoke.
“Cathy…” Shaun suddenly called out to her. She could hear his heavy breathing. “You… saw
everything?”
Embarrassment washed over Catherine’s face. Could she say she did not see it?
“You’re talking about that?” A while later, she found her voice. “That’s none of my business anyway.”
Shaun’s heart tugged.
None of her business. Her words were so heartless.
“You’re right.” He let out a self-deprecating smile. “I don’t have the right to be a part of your world
anymore.”
Catherine was surprised. If it were in the past, he would have lost his temper. Did the fact that he got hurt
in that area really changed his personality?
In fact, she really wanted to ask how he became like that. However, she was just about to say it when
she stopped, afraid that he would think she was still concerned about him.
Shaun said, “I don’t have any particular reason for calling you. I just wanted to say thank you. Goodbye.
Go on with your work. I won’t disturb you.”
After the call ended, Catherine was in a daze for a long time. Shaun’s careful tone was still ringing in her
ears, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She was used to Shaun’s arrogance and haughtiness. Hence, this sudden change of behavior was weird
for her.
At the bungalow, Shaun opened his laptop and watched a video on it.
It was the security footage from three years ago, where he ordered people to break the legs of those
young masters. At that time, he was so nervous that he embraced Catherine in his arms.
Actually, he wanted to ask her just now what exactly their relationship was like three years ago.
Why would he break the legs of those young masters for her sake? Why would he care so much about
those men taking advantage of her?
He knew himself well. With his personality, he would not have done something to offend so many young
masters for a mere woman whom he did not care about.
Unless he already had her in his heart three years ago.
It was just that he forgot about it afterward.
Although people could be forgotten, how could feelings be completely forgotten as well?
Moreover, thinking back carefully, he still remembered many things. Only the memories where he cared
for Catherine were oddly missing.
Not only that, but all he remembered was bad things about Catherine…
He stood up abruptly and drove to Australia’s medical university.
He waited at an old building for half an hour before he finally saw an elderly in his sixties walking toward
him.
“Professor Lincoln.” Shaun walked over in long strides.
“Young Master Hill, what brings you here today?” Professor Lincoln used to be the vice director of the
mental hospital. He was in charge of Shaun’s illness when Shaun was young. After he retired, he came
to the university and became an honorary professor.
“Professor Lincoln, I would like to ask you something,” Shaun said in a low voice.
“Okay, but don’t tell me your illness recurred again? ”Professor Lincoln sized him up. “I heard you found
a top psychologist from the US and cured your illness.”
“I have recovered, but I just want to ask about something else. Let’s talk about it upstairs.”
Upstairs, Professor Lincoln poured Shaun a cup of coffee. “Go ahead.” Shaun took the cup of coffee. He
mulled it over for a long time, then he slowly said, “As you know, my illness recurred three years ago
after my mental illness history was exposed. My memory deteriorated after that, and I’ve forgotten many
things…”
“It’s very normal.” Professor Lincoln nodded. “ Some mentally ill patients’ memories will deteriorate.
Some may even experience hallucinations or mental disturbance. In serious cases, some may murder
others.”
