Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine felt like her eyes were being pricked by something.
She tried to hold it in, but her eyes still reddened.
“ Shaun, is there something wrong with you?” She lost control and scolded him.
Shaun gazed at her reddened eyes, and suddenly, he did not feel so self-conscious or nervous anymore.
On the contrary, his lips lifted in a sweet smile. “ You’re concerned about me.”
Catherine was too pissed off by Shaun to say anything.
He was in this state, yet he still said he was concerned about him. Was that the point?
“Cathy, I’m really happy. It seems like chopping m y finger off was worth it.” Shaun said tenderly, “If I
knew earlier, I wouldn’t have delayed it until today. I would’ve chopped it long ago.”
“Shaun, actually, I…” Catherine felt a lump in her throat.
“Cathy, don’t say anything. Listen to me.”
Shaun used his other perfectly fine hand to cover her mouth. “You told me before that you treat Logan as
your family and that if I chopped his fingers off, it’d be impossible for us to be together. However, I went
crazy and still did it anyway. In fact, I had another reason. I was jealous of Logan. I was very
uncomfortable seeing you care so much about another man. But it’s been proven that I was wrong.”
“Although you’ve agreed to make up with me, I understand you did that for the children. You barely take
the initiative to call, message, or meet me.
There are hurdles between us. Sarah is the first hurdle, while Logan is the second. I may not be able to
compensate you for the first hurdle, so I must compensate you for the second. If not, even if we get back
together, we can never return to the relationship we had in the past.”
After he spoke, he hugged Catherine tightly.
“Cathy, my memories of the past are jumbled up, and I can’t remember them anymore. However, after
you came back to Australia, we were in a relationship for a short period. Although it was very short, it
was unforgettable to me. I clearly knew you
approached me on purpose to get revenge on me, but I was still very happy. I was the stupid one for not
knowing how to cherish you properly. Can you give me another chance again?”
He lowered his head and looked at her with a deep gaze full of anticipation.
Catherine did not say anything. Instead, she lowered her head, held his injured hand, and interlocked
their fingers. They could do that in the past, but now, one of his hands would never be able to interlock
with hers again.
Her tears fell uncontrollably.
She did not know why she was crying. She just could not help but think about how they always
interlocked their fingers when they loved each other deeply back then.
“Cathy, never in my life did I think I would see you shed tears for me.”
Shaun lowered his head and used his thin lips to kiss the tears on her face away. “Aren’t tears salty?
Why are yours so sweet?”
Haha.
Catherine wanted to cry, but after hearing his words, she could not resist bursting into laughter.
She raised her hand instinctively and hit him lightly. Shaun hissed in pain.
Catherine said nervously, “Don’t pretend. I was hitting your chest, not your wound.”
“The body vibrates, and the wound will hurt too. ” Shaun smiled bitterly.
Catherine frowned in silence. Just as Shaun thought he would receive her warm care next, she suddenly
said, “You’re really weak. Logan sustained such severe injuries back then and even lost his finger, yet he
didn’t even complain when I sent him to the hospital.”
Shaun was discontent from being looked down on by the woman he loved. “I was joking. I’m not in pain.
If you don’t believe me, you can press hard on my wound and see.”
He then lifted his hand and tensed his handsome face as if he had nothing to lose.
Catherine suddenly realized that he looked pretty childish that way. He was so childish that he looked a
little cute, especially when that handsome face was very pale. That look could make any woman’s heart
ache.
