Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1120 Shaunâs words made Catherine feel deeply powerless.
It reminded her of Shaun uttering all kinds of pickup lines when she met him for the first time. Later, she lashed out at him and wondered if he was mentally ill.
At that time, she felt that he was a dumb*ss for not knowing how to flirt with such a beauty.
Now, she seemed to understand his feelings then.
Once Shaun entered the emergency department, he had to fill in his name and phone number on the form to complete the registration.
He directly raised his injured right arm. âI canât write.â
As such, Catherine had no choice but to help him fill out the form and register for an appointment.
Shaun walked with her all the way. He had to take a n X-ray before finally needing some sodium chloride IV infusion to reduce inflammation.
After the nurse set up the infusion for him, he glanced at the time. It was almost 12:00 a.m. As much as he wanted to spend more time with Catherine, he did not want her to tire herself out. â Lend me your phone for a while. I want to give Hadley a call.â
Assuming that Shaun wanted Hadley to come over to look after him, she passed him the phone.
Unexpectedly, he called Hadley and said, âIâm in the hospital. Come here and send Cathy home.â
Catherine frowned. After Shaun ended the call, she said, âI donât need Hadley to send me home. I can take a taxi.â
âNo. Itâs not safe for a pretty young lady like you to take a taxi home at such a late hour.â Shaun shook his head. âGive me the receipt. Iâll return you the money tomorrow.â
Catherine glanced sideways at him.
Given that the beds were full tonight, he had no alternative but to have IV infusion seated on the chair, alone in the lifeless infusion room. The atmosphere of this messy environment did not match his elegant and noble temperament at all, and it made him look rather miserable.
She closed her eyes, telling herself that she should not soften her attitude toward him. âYou donât need to return it. Donât think I donât know that youâre trying to seize the opportunity to stay in touch with me.â
After his attempt was seen through, Shaun smiled wryly. âSince you donât need me to return it, thatâs fine. Whatâs mine is yours anyway. I understand.â
âWhose things are yours?â Catherine was frustrated by his shameless behavior. âI just donât want to leave any chance for you to approach me.â
âI know. You take pity on me because Iâm not as rich as before. Youâre trying to help me save money.â
Shaunâs mesmerizing eyes were filled with tender affection.
Catherine was speechless. âIâm sick of your nonsense. Iâm leaving now, and I donât need Hadley to send me home.â
This guy was such a jerk that he made her lose her temper.
âDonât leave, Cathy. I know you want Hadley to keep me company. Youâre afraid that Iâll have a hard time being here aloneâ¦â Shaunâs annoying voice rang from behind.
No longer able to tolerate him, Catherine eventually gritted her teeth and replied in frustration, âFine, fine. Just take me to mean that I worry about you, okay? Please let me go. If I donât go, Iâm afraid Iâll knock you unconscious with the infusion bottle. â
âIf youâre really planning to leave, do send Hadley a text once you get home later. If you donât, Iâll contact Wesley to find out whether youâve reached home.â Shaun sighed faintly. He looked helpless.
âAlright, I will. You donât have to contact Wesley. Iâll be staying at my dadâs place tonight.â Catherine glared at him before she left.
As Shaun watched her walk out the door, the corners of his mouth curved upward into a smile.
Never in his wildest dream did he think that he would one day go to the trouble of pestering a woman.
In the past, he could not be bothered about it. Nevertheless, he came to realize that there was nothing wrong with pursuing the woman he loved.
