Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 546
“Yes, I’m here.” Shaun lightly patted Catherine on the back. It had been so long since she called him that endearment. There was a fuzzy feeling in his heart. Perhaps he had not been showing her enough consideration which caused her to be depressed. “But I was a little angry today. You shouldn’t have driven so fast today. What if you and the children got hurt?”

“I’ll not do that again.” She shook her head. After a brief consideration, she lifted her eyes to say, “Actually, I didn’t push her on purpose today. Sarah told me the urn doesn’t hold Aunty Jennifer’s ashes but a dog’s. She flushed Aunty Jennifer’s ashes down the drain. I couldn’t take it…”

“…”

Shock was written over his face.

She was not surprised to see that reaction. “I know you won’t believe me and probably even think I’m accusing her. It doesn’t matter.”

“It is quite hard to believe that,” he said honestly while still caressing her back.

It would be horrifying if Sarah had actually done that.

Even if Jennifer was a homewrecker, she was already dead. It would not be right to mess with the dead’s ashes like this.

“Hmm, I don’t want to believe that either. I hope she’s just lying,” she replied tiredly.

“Well, stop overthinking it. I’ll get Aunty Yasmine to bring the cake over. Eating dessert will cheer you up.”

He carried her into the garden.

The sun was shining warmly into the garden. Catherine rested her head against his chest as he fed her the cake. She cheered up after that and somehow fell asleep while nestled in his arms.

After carrying her back into the bedroom, he left the room and called Hadley. “Go investigate if Jennifer’s ashes belong to a human.”

“What else would it be? A ghost’s ashes?”
