Semua Bab Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!: Bab 41 - Bab 50

“Serves you right,” Sally spoke in an abrasive manner, “No wonder Ethan dumped you.” Catherine was completely at a loss for words. Even the slightest hint of anticipation in her was crushed. How foolish she was. She should not have come back.The truth did not matter to Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones at all. More importantly, Rebecca was irreplaceable.Dejected, Catherine extended her hand to Sally. “Give me back my phone. I’ll leave. A shameful person like me doesn’t deserve to come back. I don’t deserve to be related to all of you as well.”“Are you planning to continue bringing shame to the family or getting into trouble outside?” Jeffrey scoffed. “You’d better stay home and reflect on your doings. When you decide to be frank, I’ll consider letting you go.” Once Jeffrey finished speaking, he clapped his hands. A few bodyguards subsequently came from the entrance and captured Catherine right away.“What are you guys trying to do? Kidnapping me, huh?” Catherine went mad. Never in

“Maybe not. Freya said that the Jones family is hopelessly biased.”“Alright. I’ll check it out.”Fretful, Shaun then gave Hadley another call. “Find out where Catherine last appeared.”An hour later, Hadley brought him some news. “Miss Jones went to the Jones family’s house three days ago. Shortly after she entered the house, the Jones family headed to the old house located in Pennington using their car. She’s probably there.”“Do you mean that she might be imprisoned?”“Very likely. The Jones family would not go there except for their family worship. What’s more, that place is remote and desolate.” Shaun held his phone firmly. “Come and pick me up. I’m going to visit that place in person.”…Considering that Pennington was a large distance away, Hadley drove for three hours before they reached there.It was already midnight by then. Only when Shaun got out of the car did he realize that the place was eerily desolate. It was surrounded by mountains, and there was no light.

“It’s good that you know that. I thought you’re just foolish.”Shaun felt unreasonably irritated to see Catherine skinny like a bag of bones. Harsh words spat out of his mouth. “I’ve not had a day of peace since marrying you. I don’t want to be questioned by the police when you’re dead one day. Do you understand?”“There will be no next time.” She bit her pale lip to stop tears from rolling down her cheeks.A surge of frustration rocked through him. He did not want to keep lecturing her, but she needed to stop making foolish mistakes like this.“Where’s the phone I bought for you? Why was it left behind at the Jones family’s house?”“My mom tricked me into giving it to her.”“You really are a pig.”“You’re right. Please call me Piggy Jones from now on.”“...”The bubble of suppressed laughter escaped from Chase’s lips, softening the tense atmosphere in the hospital ward.“Alright, Shaun, stop crushing her. No one would expect such cruelty from their birth parents.”Catherine

Before Catherine could finish her sentence, a massive hand suddenly appeared to cover her mouth.Shaun’s hand smelled like dry pine. The faint fragrance was surprisingly soothing.More importantly, his hand was so warm!“Shut up.” The man’s eyes twinkled beneath the lenses of his glasses.She felt her own cheeks burning too. After he removed his hand, she placed the bowl of oat porridge on the desk. “I bet you must be hungry after working all night.”He looked at the oat porridge topped with cinnamon. It certainly looked appetizing.“Catherine, you’re trying to fatten me up, huh?”“No, your body is still in top shape.” She pouted. “I wouldn’t mind even if you’re fat. Perhaps you might consider me if no other woman likes you anymore.”He looked at her, the corners of his lips twitching into a sneer. “Forget it. I can’t afford a woman who frequents the hospital every other day.”“Don’t worry. Soon, I’ll be out there working to provide for you,” she promised.“I dare not rely on

“That’s enough. You can attack me but not all women.”“So what if I am?” Shaun replied, looking at Catherine with disdain. “You…” Agitated, she dashed forward to wrap her arms around his neck.He was genuinely shocked by her unexpected and sudden action.Was this woman trying to force a kiss on him? The image of her supple lips popped into his mind. He hesitated for a couple of seconds before he felt a pang of pain on his cheeks.She had just bitten him.He pushed her away forcefully while his hand flew to cover the spot bitten by her.Was she a dog? It freaking hurt.“Catherine, how dare you? Don’t think I’m not going to punish you for this.”The man’s eyes were like flames of fire. Catherine quivered after realizing how ridiculous she acted earlier.“Um... I can explain this. It’s because I… I love you too much,” she said in an exaggerated voice, “Have you not seen it in the movies before? Lead actresses always bite the man they love so much. I was just trying to leave an
