Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 414 âDonât worry, I wonât think too much about it. Iâm in no state to think about anything else besides my dad now,â Catherine cut him off nonchalantly.
He was not aware that she had known about Sarahâs existence since long ago.
She also understood that Sarah was deeply engraved in his heart.
That was why she would not feel uncomfortable.
She was over that period of discomfort already.
There was no use in trying to make her feel repulsed over that matter as well.
The dead could not fight against the living anyways.
ââ¦Okay, thatâs good then.â Despite saying this, Shaunâs heart still sank unknowingly.
He was afraid that she would misunderstand or overthink things. However, he felt uncomfortable seeing her express no concern at all.
After all, the reason she would not overthink things might be because she did not love him enough.
He stared at her.
The annoyance in his heart was resurfacing.
He went out and smoked two cigarettes.
He came back half an hour later. Catherine was feeding some water to Joel when she heard the door open. She glanced at him over her shoulder and then averted her gaze.
Shaun felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He left the ward for so long, yet she was not even asking why he had gone out. She was truly indifferent toward him.
However, looking at Joelâs state, he felt that it was a bit too much to think about this nonsense.
Therefore, he coughed lightly and said, âI gave a heads-up to Chester just now and asked him to arrange for the best caregiver to take care of your dad. Heâll also contact the top leading specialists overseas to discuss your dadâs conditionâ¦â
âThank you,â Catherine said sincerely.
âThereâs no need for you to thank me. Youâre my wife. Iâm just doing my part.â Shaun was dissatisfied with her being so polite to him. âBy the way, did you fight to take care of your dad because you were suspicious of Nicola?â
âYes, I suspect she might have found out that my dad wanted to transfer 35 percent of the shares to me. A woman as selfish as Nicola, with Fergus behind her back, would do anything to protect her gains.â
âIndeed.â Shaun nodded. âI already got someone to investigate the cause of the accident.â
Catherine looked deep in thought. âBut⦠Thereâs another person who gives me an odd feeling.â
âWho?â
âDamien. When I asked to take care of my dad before, Nicola kept disagreeing and made a fuss. But when Damien persuaded her, she suddenly agreed. I also think he kept changing the topic to help Nicola, whether intentionally or not. When I first went to the Yule familyâs house, he did steer the topics to aim for me. Although heâs a man of few words, I think heâs not as simple as he looks.â
After Catherine was done talking, she realized that Shaun was staring at her.
âWhat? Is there something on my face?â She touched her face.
âNo, I just think that my womanâs senses are getting sharper.â Shaun pinched her small face. âAs expected of the woman Iâve fallen in love with.â
Catherine was speechless. She was not in the mood to flirt with him.
âAlright, I just couldnât help praising you.â He withdrew his hand sheepishly and put on a straight face. âI wouldnât have noticed if you hadnât mentioned it. This Damien wasnât eye-catching at all. I heard that heâs congenitally deficient. He was crippled at birth, so everyone in the Yule family is nice to him. Even after growing up, he still lives under the protection of your dad and the Yule family. Heâs not married yet.â
âWhy? He canât have sex?â Catherineâs words were startling.
ââ¦â
Shaun digested her words for a moment. Then, he said crossly, âDo you think itâs appropriate for you, a lady, to discuss such things about other people?â
