Let Me Go Mr Hill novel Chapter 428

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 428
“…”

Catherine’s question was met with silence.

“Well, I can finally speak now. Regarding Shaun’s illness, it’s true, but he didn’t hurt his nanny for no reason. This is the medical report regarding Shaun’s treatment when he was eight. He was diagnosed with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder because he had been suffering from abuse for a long time. It’s a fact that he had long been abused by his nanny.”

Catherine glanced backstage, and an old video appeared on the monitor.

In the scene, a police officer was seen interrogating a middle-aged woman with unkempt hair and wrinkles on her face. “What would you do when he cried?”

“I’d take off his clothes and lock him in the closet.”

“How long would you lock him?”

“Normally one to two days. The Hill family couldn’t be bothered about him, so no one knew. He wouldn’t die after not eating for two days.”

The police officer was enraged. “Did you do that in winter too?”

“Yes. When I noticed that he would faint at times due to the cold, I immediately pulled him out and told the Hill family that he got a fever because he didn’t wear enough clothes. The Hill family believed me. What’s more, considering how Shaun is usually distant from everyone, they’ve all taken a dislike to him.”

“…”

After the five-minute video ended, silence fell upon the venue. A lot of female reporters flew into a fury.

Catherine took a deep breath, and her eyes were slightly red. “What I’m trying to say is that he didn’t kill the nanny. He just stabbed her because he lost control and reacted against her after being locked for three solid days. Later, he stayed in the mental hospital for three years. The doctor said that he would rarely relapse after this, thus he allowed Shaun to be discharged.

“However, news about his condition and his old photos began to circulate widely yesterday. Indeed, he was deliberately provoked on the day before this press conference for the microchip. When I left the house, he was still unconscious. The press conference nearly had to be called off.”
