Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 2026 âSister? Arenât you a few months older than him?â Catherine teased playfully. âOh well. Unfortunately, he wasnât the one you slept with back then. His character is much better than Rodney.â
Freya was stunned. She would not argue with Ryan, nor would they turn against each other. Moreover, Ryan was quite attentive and warm. If it had been himâ¦
Hold on. What on earth was she thinking?
Ryan was Rodneyâs cousin. She should not even think about such a thing at all.
âDonât talk nonsense.â Freya quickly glared at Catherine. âHeâs my godbrother and Rodneyâs cousin.
Your thoughts are ludicrous.â
She spoke so hastily that she became agitated. Her chest hurt, and she was a little short of breath.
âFine, fine. I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?â Catherine promptly comforted Freya. â Since Iâll be accompanying you in the hospital these few days, I asked Shaun to find out Sarahâs condition.â
She went out to search for Shaun and spotted him talking on the phone at the staircase.
Only after Shaun saw Catherine did he say, âKeep a close eye on her. If thereâs anything, just give me a call.â After hanging up, he said, âElle just informed me that Sarah is in the emergency room. Her actual condition is still unknown, but it seems very serious.â
âWhereâs Rodney?â Catherine changed the subject anxiously.
âHeâs waiting outside the emergency room.â Then, he saw Catherine furrowing her brows, and he immediately pulled her to him. âWhat did Freya say? Who actually kidnapped Sarah?â
â Stop probing into this matter⦠You can take it as Freyaâs doing. Donât pursue it anymore. The only thing we can do is prevent Freya from going to jail.â Catherine held his hands tightly. The anger on her face was apparent. âI hope Rodney is humane enough to not make this a big deal, considering that Freya gave birth to his child.â
âDonât worry. When I went to meet Old Master Snow, everyone in the Snow sided with Freya. Letâs all pressure Rodney. I believe he wonât be bold enough to turn against everyone in the Snow family for the sake of Sarah,â Shaun said with a smile. â Frankly speaking, if it were Freyaâs doing, I would really admire her.â
âAlright. Go on over to the Snow familyâs house. I need to stay here and look after Freya. I wonât go home these few days.â Catherine pushed him slightly.
At the thought that he would not be able to hug Catherine to sleep for so many days, he felt a little reluctant to leave her. âYou should inform the Lynches. She needs a caretaker.â
âWeâll hire a caretaker, but thereâs no need to inform the Lynches. If Freyaâs parents find out that Rodney kicked and broke one of her ribs, theyâll definitely be worried.â
After Catherine saw Shaun off and returned to the ward, Ryan was already back. He was feeding Freya soup by the side of the bed. He blew on every spoonful to cool it down before feeding her.
At the scene, a hint of strangeness crossed Catherineâs mind.
She knocked on the door and asked with a smile, âDo you need me to feed you?â
âYouâre still here, eh?â Ryan was surprised.
Freya swallowed the soup weakly before she quickly said, âCathy, why donât you go home first? Ryan said that he had found a caretaker for me. After all, you need to look after your kidsâ¦â
âItâs fine. Shaun will look after them. Iâll stay here so that you wonât be bored.â Catherine walked up to her with a grin.
After some thought, Ryan passed the soup to Catherine. âAlright, then. After all, Iâm a man. It can be inconvenient at times.â
Catherine touched the bowl that was filled with boiling soup and glanced at Ryan in admiration.
Regardless of his intentions, it would be bad for Freyaâs reputation if she got too close with a man before she got a divorce. In this regard, Ryan was quite educated.
âFreya, rest well in the hospital. Iâll take care of Dani for you.â Ryan turned around and said softly, â Iâve also arranged for someone to guard the door so that nobody will barge in.â
âThank youâ¦â
Freya was at ease knowing that he had done all she could think of.
â I havenât told my parents about this issue, so Iâm going to the Lodge to discuss it with them. You donât have to worry. â Ryan reminded her before leaving.
