Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 444
At 12:30 p.m., a luxury car drove past the gate into the manor.
Rodney and Chester had been waiting by the door for a long time. However, when Shelley stepped out of the backseat of the vehicle, both of them were astonished. Rodney, especially, narrowed his eyes to look at the woman.
“Sarah… No, Sarah’s way prettier.” He regained his composure after the initial excitement.
“Do you know my cousin too? I’m a relative of Sarah.” Shelley smiled and revealed the dimples on her cheeks.
Tears welled up in Rodney’s eyes, but he quickly averted his gaze. “Sarah’s cousin is my cousin too.”
“What’s going on?” Chester turned to Shaun.
“She’s the nurse that the mental hospital assigned to look after me,” the man explained flatly.
“I see.” Chester nodded. “Is she good? Have you been feeling better?”
At that, Shelley darted her eyes to look at Shaun nervously.
“Don’t worry,” Rodney said as he patted her on the head. “I won’t let him replace you.”
She lifted her head to smile helplessly at the man. “Someone has to be replaced if I’m not good at my job. There’s no excuse to disrupt the treatment.”
“Not bad.” Shaun glanced at her quickly before taking the lead to go inside.
Chester questioned him in a low voice, “Hey, did you keep her around because you haven’t forgotten about Sarah?”
“You’re overthinking. Do you remember how I recovered from my illness last time?” A helpless look washed over Shaun’s face. “The doctor said my illness came from childhood trauma, and Sarah was my only source of happiness during that period of time. Perhaps looking at this familiar face would help me recover sooner. In fact, I’ve been feeling pretty good lately.”
