Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
At 9:00 p.m., Catherine was taking a shower in the bedroom’s bathroom. The sound of the running water
made her very nervous. When she thought that she would be doing it with Wesley later, her body felt
repulsed.
However, there were some things that she would not be as resistant to after taking the first step, right?
She could not spend her life only accepting Shaun. She gritted her teeth and went out.
However, what greeted her was Wesley holding the blanket and preparing to go out.
“Cathy, I don’t think you’re mentally prepared just yet. I want to give you some time to gather yourself.”
Wesley smiled. “Besides, I’ve been very busy at work recently and have to work overtime at night, so I’ll
sleep in the next room for the time being.”
“ ” Catherine bit her lip, feeling touched. “Wesley, I can— ”
“Don’t force yourself. I don’t want to force you at all, ” Wesley interrupted her.
Catherine was so touched that she felt like she was i n a mess.
She felt immensely guilty when she recalled having ever doubted Wesley.
Not long after Wesley went next door, Suzie suddenly called her while sobbing. “Aunty Cathy, I’m sick! I
miss you.”
“Suzie, what happened?” Catherine was worried.
Suzie cried out, “My head hurts. I have a fever. I miss you…”
Catherine could not bear listening to the child’s cries. She felt her heart breaking the moment she heard
Suzie’s cries and could not care about anything else. “Where are you? I’ll come to you right away.”
“I’m in the hospital.”
Catherine became even more anxious when she heard that Suzie was in the hospital. She hurriedly went
next door to tell Wesley that she was going to the company as something had come up.
She did not dare say she was looking for Suzie. She was afraid that Wesley would mind if she got too
close to the Hill family.
In the hospital.
After Suzie was done crying and hung up the call, she immediately turned around and hugged Chester’s
arm fawningly. “Uncle, where’s the candy you promised me?”
Chester was speechless and took out a lollipop from the drawer before giving it to her. Then, he turned to
Shaun. “Your niece’s acting is amazing.”
Shaun glanced at him. “Have you talked to the doctor already?”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any loopholes. Go quickly.” Chester was speechless. It had taken great
pains to trick Catherine to come out tonight.
When Catherine rushed to the hospital, Suzie, who had just finished eating the lollipop, was asleep in
Shaun’s arms.
The father and daughter sat on the chair in the hospital. Suzie had her eyes closed, looking adorable. It
made people feel tender affection for her.
Maybe it was the bleak hospital environment, but Catherine’s heart ached when she saw them. Suzie
had always been delicate and loved to cry when she got sick, but Catherine was not able to be with her
from the very start.
“Suzie…”
Her eyes could not help but redden.
A trace of guilt flashed in Shaun’s eyes. He did not expect Catherine to care so much about Suzie. After
all, Suzie was not her child.
“Suzie is asleep.”
Shaun lied without a change in expression. “She had a fever just now, but she’s much better after taking
fever medicine. She was crying and saying she missed you. Sorry that we disturbed your sleep.”
“Why did she suddenly get a fever?” Catherine asked with red eyes.
She really wanted to take Suzie back with her now.
As a mother, she would only feel relieved if she took care of her child herself.
“… She kicked the blanket off at night.” Shaun casually found a reason.
“Where’s the nanny? Didn’t the nanny help cover her back up?” Catherine asked angrily.
