Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 519 âShaun, Iâve been tolerating you for a long time as well. Cathy is pregnant with your children. Canât you treat her better? Must you simply abandon her in the manor alone every day? She needs someone she can depend on,â Freya shouted angrily, âCan you stop being so moody and petulant? Sheâs a person with limits too.â
âShut up! You have no right to meddle in our affairs.â Shaun pushed her away and lifted Catherine up into the car.
Catherine closed her eyes.
Honestly, she was furious at how rude he was being to her friend.
Of course, perhaps he had always thought they were too inferior to be on his level.
âWhatâs the matter? You canât even be bothered to look at me now?â
He pinched her chin as a shadow veiled over his features. âOpen your eyes.â
Catherine felt lethargy spread across her body. His elegant face appeared the second she opened her eyes again. It was still that same face, but her heart ached at the unfamiliarity. âShaun, Freya is right.
Can you stop being so moody and petulant? It feels like you could give me the stars when youâre in a good mood but youâll lock me up in the freezer when youâre in a bad temper. Iâm tired of living like this.â
âDo you think I want to do that? Why canât you be a good wife? You know that I hate Charity but you threatened me with the babies just to meet her.â
His eyes were overflowing with rage. âAre our children less important to you than Charity that youâre willing to use them against me?â
She scoffed. âDo you think I had another option? Iâm a human being too but youâre locking me up in a cage like a bird. Iâve lost all my freedom. I would rather not have your children if I had known this would be my life after marrying you.â
His body trembled.
A long time later, his hateful eyes were filled with disappointment. âCatherine, you donât deserve to be a mother.â He scoffed.
She felt as if something had snapped inside her and she screamed at him hysterically, âDivorce me if you donât think I deserve to be a mother! Go get yourself someone who can be a match for you!â
He clenched his fists into balls as he felt his temples throbbing. âHadley, send her back to the manor.â
âNo, Iâm not going back to that cage.â
âYou donât have a choice,â he said, glaring at her.
She parted her lips but no words came out. Instead, tears came flowing down her cheeks as she began punching him on the back. âShaun, why are you doing this to me? Tell me what I did wrong! Iâve lost everything, my face, my freedomâ¦â
Even those two friends who truly cared about her. One was imprisoned and the other one was leaving soon.
The only man she loved was treating her indifferently too.
âYouâve lost your mindâ¦â
The man shouted just as she fell to the ground.
He caught her immediately but she had already passed out.
âTo the hospital,â he instructed angrily.
â¦
In the hospital.
After a series of examinations, the doctor said helplessly, âEldest Young Master Hill, Iâve told you before that your wifeâs pregnancy is still unstable so she shouldnât be agitated.â
âWhat actually happened to her?â Shaun asked in concern.
âI think sheâs been suppressing a lot of anger and sorrow lately, not to mention that the hormonal fluctuations in her body are making her emotional. You should be more considerate and thoughtful toward her so that sheâs always in a good mood. As her husband, you should try not to agitate her often.â
The doctor heaved a sigh. âIâve seen many pregnant women falling into depression. Theyâre the most emotionally vulnerable at this stage. Spend more time with her.â
He frowned. âShe doesnât need my company.â
The doctor smiled. âOf course she does. Iâm a woman myself and Iâve given birth before too. Despite what she says, every woman still yearns for her husbandâs companionship during and after pregnancy.â
Shaun appeared startled.
