Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 440

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 440
The light went out from Shaun’s eyes at the sound of that. “Is it a coincidence that she’s here today?”

“Looks like it. The candidates handpicked by the hospital’s management are the best-performing nurses as of current.”

He nodded upon hearing that, the defenses in his heart vanishing. “Who’s the head of the Neeson family now?”

“Charity Neeson.”

The corners of his lips twitched into a sarcastic smile. “She’s not grateful after stealing someone else’s house. Get the word out not to provide our microchips to the Neeson family.”

“Um… Okay.” Hadley parted his lips but did not say anything else.

5:00 p.m.

Catherine left work earlier today. She heard noises coming from the basketball court the second she stepped out of the car.

She walked over just in time to see Shaun raising his arms to make a beautiful three-point field goal. She had no idea how long he had been playing basketball. The back of his white T-shirt was slightly damp yet his face revealed a sunny disposition.

The sight of him like this took her breath away.

When she was still in school, Ethan was the only basketball player she adored. However, looking at Shaun right at this moment, she finally knew what was the real charm of an athlete.

“Yay!”

A series of applause came from the other side of the basketball court. It was only then that she noticed the woman who looked almost the same age as her dressed in a pair of basic jeans and a white top. Her glossy dark hair was up in a ponytail.

“Impressive, Eldest Young Master Hill.” The woman walked over with a bottle of water and a towel. “You’ve been playing for 40 minutes. It’s time to rest.”

“Okay.” He received the bottle and started gulping down its contents.

The rays of the setting sun shone down on both of them. That particular scene sort of stung Catherine’s eyes.
