Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 713 âWhy are you panicking? Did you remind Assistant Walker what I told you?â
âI didâ¦â
âYouâll be fine, then. Regardless of how much you pay him, just make sure his lips are sealed. Also, youâd better behave yourself from now on or I wonât be able to save you.â
Sarah gritted her teeth as soon as she ended the call.
Needless to say, Shaun had found out about the matter. Never had she expected that he would be unbothered about her dignity.

In the hospital.
When Catherine was feeding Suzie porridge in her arms, Freya received a call.
After that, Freya said, âThereâs good news and bad news. The good news is that the police called and told me that thereâs evidence showing that the burglars were hired by someone else. It was Thomasâ
assistant who transferred money to their family members.â
Catherine raised her head and said, âAs for the bad news, is it that Thomasâ assistant has confessed to the crime?â
âYeah.â Freya sighed. âIt means that Thomas still got away again, but guess who submitted the evidence to the police? It was Shaun! What did you do this morning?â
âI applied some medicine to Shaunâs eyes. I bet he strongly dislikes Thomas now.â
Deep down, Catherine let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, she had taken a bet by going there this morning to kick up a fuss.
She bet that Shaun still had some feelings for her and could no longer tolerate Thomasâ behavior. She went to his place and reminded him that Thomas was directly responsible for the loss of their children three years ago.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
âYouâre awesome.â Freya raised her thumb.
âGodmother, was your mouth bitten by a mosquito? Itâs swollen.â
Suzie, who was having porridge while nestled in Catherineâs arms, tilted her head and looked at Freya curiously.
Freya immediately blushed with embarrassment. âA dog bit me.â
âThe dog must be tall since it could actually bite your mouth,â Suzie said with a grin.
Freya glared at Suzie sulkily with her hands on her hips. âSince you can make fun of me, it means youâre fine. But you were crying and asking for hugs and candy in your momâs arms just now.â
Suzie pouted and snuggled into Catherineâs arms again. âMommy, it hurts again.â
âYou were badly injured this time. Let me kiss you.â Only after Catherine hugged and kissed her on the cheek did the little kid smile warmly.
After all, her head was severely injured. After having some porridge, Suzie felt drowsy.
In the next few days, Freya was busy helping Catherine clean her house while Catherine took care of Suzie in the hospital. With a large backlog of work, she usually worked while taking care of Suzie.
Lucas stayed in the ward throughout these three days without stepping out of it. He felt that he was responsible for Suzieâs injuries.
When Liam visited them that night, he was upset at their condition.
âYou can bring Lucas to the hotel and sleep there. Look at yourselves. You guys have slimmed down.â
âIâm fine.â Catherine would be too worried to leave Suzie alone here.
âEven if you donât think about yourself, you have to think about Lucas. He doesnât eat well nor sleep well in the hospital.â Liam gently pinched Suzieâs cheeks. âSuzie, let me accompany you tonight, okay?â
âSure, sure. I like you the most, Uncle Liam.â Suzie took pity on her mother as well. She immediately said, âMommy, you can bring Brother home first. Iâll be heartbroken if you tire yourself out.â
