Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 546 âYes, Iâm here.â Shaun lightly patted Catherine on the back. It had been so long since she called him that endearment. There was a fuzzy feeling in his heart. Perhaps he had not been showing her enough consideration which caused her to be depressed. âBut I was a little angry today. You shouldnât have driven so fast today. What if you and the children got hurt?â
âIâll not do that again.â She shook her head. After a brief consideration, she lifted her eyes to say, âActually, I didnât push her on purpose today. Sarah told me the urn doesnât hold Aunty Jenniferâs ashes but a dogâs. She flushed Aunty Jenniferâs ashes down the drain. I couldnât take itâ¦â
ââ¦â
Shock was written over his face.
She was not surprised to see that reaction. âI know you wonât believe me and probably even think Iâm accusing her. It doesnât matter.â
âIt is quite hard to believe that,â he said honestly while still caressing her back.
It would be horrifying if Sarah had actually done that.
Even if Jennifer was a homewrecker, she was already dead. It would not be right to mess with the deadâs ashes like this.
âHmm, I donât want to believe that either. I hope sheâs just lying,â she replied tiredly.
âWell, stop overthinking it. Iâll get Aunty Yasmine to bring the cake over. Eating dessert will cheer you up.â
He carried her into the garden.
The sun was shining warmly into the garden. Catherine rested her head against his chest as he fed her the cake. She cheered up after that and somehow fell asleep while nestled in his arms.
After carrying her back into the bedroom, he left the room and called Hadley. âGo investigate if Jenniferâs ashes belong to a human.â
âWhat else would it be? A ghostâs ashes?â
When did the investigations nowadays become so spooky?
âDo it right away!â he yelled at his assistant.

The following day.
Sarah came to the villa to treat Shaun.
Catherine and Shaun were waiting for her in the living room. Catherine had deliberately skipped going into the office today.
Sarah looked pretty in a light pink summer dress with ruffled sleeves. Her eyes still appeared slightly puffy from all the crying, which made her look somewhat pitiable.
However, Catherine had already seen how much cruelty hid behind that beautiful face. This woman was a thousand times more evil than Rebecca.
âYoung Madam.â A hint of intimidation flashed across Sarahâs eyes. After exchanging casual greetings, she turned to Shaun. âLetâs start our second treatment session.â
Catherine rose to her feet and questioned. âMiss Neeson, can you tell me the exact details of this second session? What kind of treatment method is required?â
âSadness therapy. In simpler terms, it allows the patient to deliberately control excitement, joy, and forget about their worries in a negative mindset, thereby transforming the feelings into positive energy.â
Catherine frowned at the sound of that. âIt sounds quite risky.â
A smile spread across Sarahâs face. âYouâre right. But Shaunâs been sick for 20 years and his condition canât be cured if we donât take risks. Besides, to tell the truth, if he refuses therapy, his condition might worsen into something similar to Alzheimerâs in less than a year.â
His face fell. âWhy didnât you say this before?â
âI didnât want to worry you or make you feel burdened through the therapy sessions.â Sarah laughed bitterly. âI have no choice but to tell you now because I sense that Young Madam doesnât like me very much. I have to honestly explain the severity of the situation to her.â
