Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 165
Catherine finally figured out why everyone had looked at her in a strange manner just now.
A moment later, she walked out sulkily with the water she used to wash up. “It’s all your fault. Look at how my lips are after you kissed me. How am I going to live this down?”
After glancing at her, Shaun was inwardly satisfied with what he had done. With a pale face, he moaned weakly. “Sorry. That was very careless of me. My body hurt too badly last night, and it was my fault. Tonight, I’ll try to endure the pain and not trouble you.”
Considering how feeble the handsome man looked, Catherine could not bring herself to criticize him at that moment.
Fine. She had no choice since it was painful for him.
When Hadley and Chase came at 9:00 a.m., they were shocked to see Catherine wearing a mask. “Cathy, why are you wearing a mask?”
“The hospital is crowded, so I think it’s safer to wear a mask,” Catherine replied with a stern look. “I heard quite a lot of people have been infected with the flu recently.”
“Oh. Give me a mask then, Sister-in-law. I want to wear it to avoid being infected too.” Chase immediately put on a mask as well.
Shaun, who was lying on the bed, was speechless.

Hudson Corporation’s office.
When Jeffery received the attorney’s letter, he asked Rebecca to come over and subsequently gave her a piece of his mind.
“What on earth have you done? I struggled so hard to obtain the new property development project from them so that we could rake in the money yet you caused such a terrible mess shortly after you were elected. I’m vying for the chairman’s position at the end of the year. Can you not disrupt my plans?”
“Sorry, Dad. The sight of Catherine just made my blood boil, and I wanted to teach her a lesson.”
Feeling aggrieved, Rebecca pouted. “But I didn’t expect that Shaun would make it in time to save her.”
“Shaun again!” Jeffery gritted his teeth. “How did Catherine get to know this kind of person?”
“She must have slept with him.”
