Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1241 âWhat are you doing?â Catherine was a little dumbfounded.
âGiving you a bath, of course. Do you have the strength to wash yourself?â Shaun rolled up his sleeves casually.
ââ¦Get out.â Catherine was annoyed and wanted to push him. However, her legs went weak after a few steps, and she fell straight into his arms.
âAhem. I wonât actually go out, but you didnât have to throw yourself at me like this.â Shaun smiled roguishly. Catherine was so angry that her face began to hurt.
In the end, Shaun helped her take a bath and dressed her in clean clothes before carrying her out.
During the whole process, Catherine felt fortunate that her face was swollen. Otherwise, her face would definitely burst from all the blushing.
After going out, Shaunâs phone rang. It was from Lucas and Suzie. The two children were so worried that they did not sleep last night.
Suzie said, â Scummy dad, howâs Mommy? Where are you now? Iâm worried about Mommy.â
Lucas chimed in too. âWe want to see Mommy. Where are you two now?â
âYour mommy is with me.â
Shaun handed the phone to Catherine, and she said gently, âDarlings, Mommy is fine. Donât worry.â
âMommy.â Suzie choked up when she heard Catherineâs voice. âMommy, you scared us to death. Last night, Uncle Logan said Wesley hurt you, and he went to scummy dad for the antidote. Were you poisoned? Your body is so weak now.â
Lucas said, âDid scummy dad give you the antidote? Mommy, what kind of poison did you get? Is it serious?â
Suzie said, âSince when did scummy dad know medicine? Isnât Uncle Chester the doctor?â
âUhâ¦â
The children talked over each other. When Catherine saw Shaunâs snickering face, she felt embarrassed. âYour Uncle Logan found your father so that he could send me to the hospital. After all, Uncle Chester is a famous doctor. We wouldnât have to queue to be hospitalized.â
âI see. I thought scummy dad had the antidote. That was amazing.â Suzie had just finished speaking when she began to cry again. âWhy did Uncle Wesley poison you? Heâs so evil. Mommy, weâll go to the hospital now to see you.â
âDonât. Did you forget that you almost got into a car accident that day? Donât come out. Donât let Mommy worry, okay? Iâll come and see you as soon as I get out of the hospital,â Catherine advised softly.
âMommy, have you called the police?â Lucas said uneasily, âIf Wesley hurt you, let the police arrest him.â
âDonât worry. Heâs already at the police station. â Catherine did not want the children to know too much, so all she could do was comfort them as much as she could.
âIâm sorry, Mommy. I shouldnât have⦠let you marry Wesley.â Lucas felt extremely guilty. âHeâs a bad guy.â
âLucas, itâs not your fault. Mommy was also tricked. Bad people wonât show it on their faces that theyâre bad. You should learn from me so that you can better protect the people around you in the future.â Catherine taught him. âStay at your grandmotherâs house for the time being and donât g o anywhere, okay?â
âOkay.â
After finally coaxing the two little darlings, Catherine hung up the phone to see Shaun grinning at her.
His eyes were gentle enough to drown her.
âWhat are you looking at?â Catherine felt annoyed a t his gaze. Especially after she had seen how ugly she was in the bathroom earlier, she felt uncomfortable. âShaun, Iâm ugly. Can you stop staring at me?â
âHow are you ugly?â Shaun joked. âYour lips are as thick as a sausage, and it makes me want to bite it.
Your little face is like a freshly baked hamburger. Youâre whetting an appetiteâ¦â
