Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 735 That scene made Shaunâs blood boil, and his heart could not help but clench in pain.
He hurriedly pulled a bath towel and rushed over to wrap the tiny body in it tightly. Then, he picked Suzie up in his arms and quickly walked out of the bathroom.
While Suzie was carried to the bedroom bed, she sobbed. âIt hurts⦠Itâs so coldâ¦â
Shaun touched her skin, and when he found it icy cold, he checked her body to see a bruise on her elbow.
â Suzie, itâs okay. Uncle will dress you right away.â Shaun took the quilt and wrapped it around her. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Sarah, who was coming over with a set of childrenâs clothes.
She looked flustered and aggrieved. â Shaun, Iâm sorry. I didnât know how she suddenly fellâ¦â
âI told you to bathe her, but is this how you do it? You were just sitting there when she fell.â
A wave of inexplicable anger welled up in Sarah. It was the first time Shaun could not control his anger towards her.
âI⦠I didnât mean to. I was so shocked that I couldnât react in time.â
Sarahâs eyes teared up at his yelling. She bit her lip and reached out to Suzie. â Suzie, Aunty will dress you.â
âNo, I donât want you to dress me. â Suzie shrank back in fear, her eyes full of resistance.
âEnough. Iâll do it.â Shaun took the clothes and quickly helped Suzie put them on.
To the side, Sarah clenched her fists in anger with a pale face.
She could not believe that Shaun had gotten angry at her time and time again because of a child. Was that really necessary? Suzie was not even his.
After getting dressed, Shaun carried Suzie to the next room.
When he took the ointment over, Suzie shrank and hid to one side with tears hanging from her eyelashes. âI donât want it.â
âBe good, Suzie. Youâll only get better if you apply the ointment.â Although Shaun was very distressed, he had to speak in a serious tone.
âI donât want to. I donât want to stay here anymore. I want Mommy. I want to go to Aunty Cathy.â Suzie buried her little face and choked. There was a hint o f fear on her face.
âAunty Cathy would be asleep by now. Suzie, be a good girl, okay?â Shaun comforted her.
However, Suzie simply cried. âIt hurts. I miss Aunty Cathy. I donât want to be here anymore.â
Shaun was at a loss for words. All along, Suzie had been well behaved and understanding in front of him. Even if she did cry, it was because she missed her mother or that Liam left her alone.
However, this was the first time he saw her like this. âWhy donât you like being here? Didnât you say you wanted to come to live with Uncle?â
Fear flashed across Suzieâs face, but she gritted her teeth and did not say a word.
âSuzie, you can say what you want to say. â Shaun stroked her head gently.
Suzie looked up at him for a while and suddenly cried in his chest. âUncle wonât hate Suzie?â
âOf course not. Suzie, youâre so cute.â Shaun felt upset when he heard the childâs careful tone.
âBut⦠But Aunty said you wonât like me.â Suzie choked up and whispered, âShe said youâll have children in the future, and you wonât like Suzie anymore.â
Shaunâs handsome face suddenly sank. âAre you referring to Aunty Sarah?â
âYeah.â Not knowing what else to do, Suzie nodded her little head with a timid tone.
âShe said that Uncle and Daddy have different fathers, and Uncle doesnât like Daddy, and you both donât have a good relationship. If I⦠get in the way o f your relationship, Uncle will not like me anymore, but⦠I didnât get in the way of your relationship. â
Her eyes overflowed with tears again, and she repeated, âUncle, Suzie didnât get in the way of your relationship with Aunty. So⦠so donât hate me, okay? I want Aunty and you to be well. Iâm scared Daddy wonât want me anymore, and Uncle wonât like me either.â
âNo, Uncle likes you.â
Shaun said in a low voice, âSuzie, when did Aunty tell you those things?â
âWhen I was taking a bath, â Suzie said softly.
