Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1440 Chester flung his hand and swept the glass on the table to the floor.
It was as if that was the only way to stop him from feeling so annoyed.
Shaun returned to Leaâs ward.
Lea was already awake. However, she exuded a wave of lifelessness.
âShaun, you came just at the right time. We donât know whatâs wrong with your mom. Iâve been talking to her for a long time, yet she hasnât uttered a word. Itâs very unlike her.â Valerie came over and whispered, âIs she still hung up on Mason since he has gotten caughtâ¦â
âNoâ¦â Shaun cut her off. He glanced at the few people in the ward and said, âMaybe itâs because she found out that Liam is hers and Brennanâs son and my biological brother.â
âWhat?â
Valerie and Spencer were shocked. âWasnât Liam hers and Masonâs?â
Catherine frowned as she glanced at Lea. She and Shaun had known about it early on, but they were afraid it would upset Lea. It must have been Mason who said it himself.
âHeâs not Masonâs son.â Lea finally spoke. However, her hoarse voice was empty and sad. âI was mistaken all along.â
âYou⦠How could you be so silly?â Spencer sighed heavily. âAs the childâs mother, you canât even figure out whoâs the father.â
Lea could not even feel any embarrassment. In fact, she felt that living was meaningless. âIn the past, I always thought I was a failure of a mother. Now, I realize that Iâm not even worthy of being a mother.
For more than 20 years, I was fooled by a man.â
She choked, and her eyes reddened. Then, she raised her head and said to Shaun, âShaun, Iâve wronged you, and Iâve wronged Liam too. Liam is dead. It was Mason who killed him. Iâm so useless and stupid. I caused Liamâs death.â
As she spoke, she covered her eyes and wept.
She was a tough woman. She did not cry that way even when Mason abandoned her.
However, when she found out the truth, she broke down and cried.
At that moment, everyone was at a loss for words. âItâs not completely your fault.â
Shaun suddenly said, âActually, Iâve already known about this for a while now. Iâve asked Dad about it.
That night, you were drunk, and he went over to look for you. When he woke up the next morning, he was embarrassed to face you because of his menâs pride. Hence, he left. Afterward, Mason came and pretended to be him. Dad thought you got pregnant with Masonâs child not long after you divorced him, so his hatred toward you deepened. If only you and my dad were mature enough at that time. You were the prideful princess of the Hill family who looked down on him, while he, having married into the Hill family, was taunted by you, and he had his own pride too.â
âAt that time, Dad and Mom both said that Brennan was quite good.â Spencer said, âYet, you said he was targeting the Hill familyâs family business. In the end, the one who was really targeting the Hill familyâs business was Mason.â
âEnough, Brother. Stop talking. Donât upset Lea anymore.â Valerie rolled her eyes at Spencer. â
Anyway, both you and Brennan are to blame for this matter. Thereâs no need to shoulder everything yourself.â
âNo, the fault mainly lies with me.â Lea shook her head. After wiping her face with a tissue, she asked, âShaun, whereâs your dad?â
âThe reason he came back this time is mainly to get revenge. Now that he has gotten his revenge, heâll return to Country Y after some time. After all, heâs Garson Corporationâs director, and his company is over there. He said he despises Canberra,â Shaun said with a hint of sadness.
âWow. Heâs actually Garson Corporationâs director?â Valerie was surprised. âThatâs the top mega-
corporation of Country Y. I never expected he would have todayâs achievements when he was so poor back then.â
âHe has always been a smart and capable person. When he was studying, his results were the top in the school. I was the one who was prejudiced against him.â Lea said with difficulty, âShaun, please tell him thank you⦠for last night.â
âMm.â
Shaun took out a document. He said, âThis is the Hill familyâs manorâs Certificate of Title. â
