Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 184

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 184
Catherine parted her lips to speak but was interrupted by Wesley, “There’s all sort of paperwork needed to be done in the hospital and having a helping hand is better than none. As an elder brother, I can’t stand aside and not help you out. Besides, this is not the time to keep a distance from me.”

Overwhelmed by anxiety, she did not insist further.

Upon arriving at the hospital, someone was shouting by the door of the emergency room. “Family members of Miss Wendy? Identify yourself and head over to the reception to sort out the bills as soon as possible.”

“I’m here.” Catherine ran over. “Doctor, how is she doing?”

“Acute cerebral insufficiency. Stent surgery must be performed immediately. Go sort out the payment now.” The doctor pushed an invoice into her hands.

She rushed downstairs to handle the payment. The surgery had already commenced by the time she went back upstairs.

“I know the hospital director, so I called him earlier to bring forward the surgery,” Wesley explained.

“Thanks.” She was touched.

The surgery finally came to an end three hours later. Aunty Wendy was pushed out of the emergency room. Catherine almost could not recognize the frail woman.

Aunty Wendy used to look healthy and energetic when she was still her grandmother’s carer, but she looked like a completely different person now. Apart from her head that was full of gray hair, her sunken cheeks also made her look older.

What had happened during these times?

5:00 p.m. Tears flowed down Aunty Wendy’s cheeks the moment she opened her eyes and saw Catherine. “First Young Lady, I didn’t think I’d see you again.”

“You don’t have to call me that anymore.” She forced a bitter smile.

“No, you’ll always be the—”

“Aunty Wendy, it’s alright, I already know the truth that I was adopted by the Jones family. I’m sure you know that too after being a carer for my grandmother for the past few decades.”

“Who said that?” Aunty Wendy replied, agitated. “You’re unmistakably a part of the Jones family!”
