Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1120
Shaun’s words made Catherine feel deeply powerless.
It reminded her of Shaun uttering all kinds of pickup lines when she met him for the first time. Later, she lashed out at him and wondered if he was mentally ill.
At that time, she felt that he was a dumb*ss for not knowing how to flirt with such a beauty.
Now, she seemed to understand his feelings then.
Once Shaun entered the emergency department, he had to fill in his name and phone number on the form to complete the registration.
He directly raised his injured right arm. “I can’t write.”
As such, Catherine had no choice but to help him fill out the form and register for an appointment.
Shaun walked with her all the way. He had to take a n X-ray before finally needing some sodium chloride IV infusion to reduce inflammation.
After the nurse set up the infusion for him, he glanced at the time. It was almost 12:00 a.m. As much as he wanted to spend more time with Catherine, he did not want her to tire herself out. “ Lend me your phone for a while. I want to give Hadley a call.”
Assuming that Shaun wanted Hadley to come over to look after him, she passed him the phone.
Unexpectedly, he called Hadley and said, “I’m in the hospital. Come here and send Cathy home.”
Catherine frowned. After Shaun ended the call, she said, “I don’t need Hadley to send me home. I can take a taxi.”
“No. It’s not safe for a pretty young lady like you to take a taxi home at such a late hour.” Shaun shook his head. “Give me the receipt. I’ll return you the money tomorrow.”
“Don’t leave, Cathy. I know you want Hadley to keep me company. You’re afraid that I’ll have a hard time being here alone…” Shaun’s annoying voice rang from behind.
No longer able to tolerate him, Catherine eventually gritted her teeth and replied in frustration, “Fine, fine. Just take me to mean that I worry about you, okay? Please let me go. If I don’t go, I’m afraid I’ll knock you unconscious with the infusion bottle. ”
“If you’re really planning to leave, do send Hadley a text once you get home later. If you don’t, I’ll contact Wesley to find out whether you’ve reached home.” Shaun sighed faintly. He looked helpless.
“Alright, I will. You don’t have to contact Wesley. I’ll be staying at my dad’s place tonight.” Catherine glared at him before she left.
As Shaun watched her walk out the door, the corners of his mouth curved upward into a smile.
Never in his wildest dream did he think that he would one day go to the trouble of pestering a woman.
In the past, he could not be bothered about it. Nevertheless, he came to realize that there was nothing wrong with pursuing the woman he loved.
