Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 620
Then Sarah would have lied to Shaun about Catherine’s depression when she convinced him to send the woman to a mental hospital.
If Catherine had not ‘died’ three years ago, he might really have sent her back to a mental hospital and that would certainly drive her to actually become mad.
Thinking about this was enough to make him shudder.
“What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?” Sarah felt uneasy under his stare.
“Sarah, did Catherine really have depression three years ago?” He suddenly looked at her seriously.
The woman was flustered but she maintained her composure. “Don’t you believe me?”
He lowered his gaze to the ground. “It’s not that, I just… I just think she’s really normal now, unlike someone who’s been sick before. In fact, I don’t remember checking in on her after sending her to the mental hospital.”
She twitched her lips. “Actually, when she went to the hospital three years ago, I thought of giving her a proper diagnosis but I didn’t dare to approach her after she splashed me with hot water. I can’t tell you with certainty that she was definitely depressed but she did show the right symptoms. I’m sure the staff at the mental hospital wouldn’t have taken her in unless they were sure of her condition. It wasn’t just up to me.”
Shaun became silent after that.
Sarah finally felt relieved now that he looked convinced.
However, she had to be more alert after being asked this question unexpectedly. “Besides, no one with mental illness would want to admit it. You were like that…”
“Alright, let’s eat,” he interrupted.
“Sure, I’ll get the steaks.”
Soon, she reappeared from the kitchen. She had put a lot of effort into the meal, even decorating the plates with carrots.
