Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 586
Shaun lifted the white cloth with his hands trembling, only to see Catherine lying there silently. If it had not been for the dark, green bruise on her neck, she would have looked like she was sleeping.
He placed his trembling hand by her nose to see if she was breathing.
It was icy.
Was she actually dead?
He then hit his head hard.
He had to be dreaming. This was not real.
The last time they met, she was even criticizing and biting people.
How did she pass away so suddenly?
“Get lost, Shaun.”
A strong force pushed him away from behind.
Freya dashed to the side of the bed. After seeing Catherine’s dead body, she glared at Shaun indignantly. “It’s all your doing, b*stard. You are the one who drove Catherine to her death, you murderer.”
“I didn’t. She… She was ill.”
Shaun did not even cast his bloodshot eyes over to Freya. He just froze to the spot, staring at Catherine.
He still could not resign himself to the situation.
He could not understand himself. He did not love Catherine at all.
However, why did he feel as if his soul had been taken away? It was as if he had lost someone significant in his life?
Tears even welled up uncontrollably and blurred his vision.
