Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!

Chapter 45
Shaun sent Catherine to the nearest hospital.

He clenched his fists while waiting for her outside the emergency room. Around half an hour later, the doctor came out of the emergency room and said, “Was she kidnapped? If she was sent here an hour later, even God wouldn’t have been able to rescue her.”

“She has been rescued?” Shaun sighed deeply with relief. A weight had finally been lifted off his heart.

“Yes, but her bodily functions have declined. Also, she’s having a persistent fever.” With furrowed brows, the doctor added, “She hasn’t had any water to drink for at least three days, and she probably didn’t eat much rice as well. What’s worse, the rice she had was mostly stale. It’ll likely take her half a month to recover.”

Not only was Shaun shocked, but Hadley was also dumbfounded. “Are the Joneses even human?”

Shaun’s handsome face fell. “Tell the reporters what happened today so that the world knows the Jones family’s true colors.”

“Alright.”
