A foul, musty smell exuded from the cellar. Shaun flashed the light around. Blinded by the light, the woman snuggling on the bed subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.It was a weight off his mind knowing that she was alive.However, when he approached her, he was so shocked that his phone nearly fell to the floor.Was this Catherine?Was she the woman whose beauty caught his eye when he first met her?He could barely recognize her now. It had only been five days since he last saw her, and she was nothing but skins and bones. Besides that, her face… was rotting very badly. Shaun gasped for breath as if he was about to be suffocated.“You’re here, Shaun.” Catherine had been in the dark for a long time that her eyes had become sensitive to light. She struggled a lot, only to open her eyes a little. Although she could not make out his features, she could sense his familiar cold presence.Her mouth curled into a serene smile. She knew that he would find a way here.H
“Cut the crap. Spill it. Who instructed you to do it?” Shaun pressed the gun to her forehead. His eyes were gloomy. “One, two…”“It was Third Young Lady.” Aunt Connie collapsed on the spot. “Third Young Lady gave me the medicine and told me to put it in her porridge. She won’t die after eating it, but the wound will fester more and more until her bones are visible.”Hadley gasped. The women of the Hill family were vicious, and he subconsciously looked at Catherine.However, she suddenly smiled and asked, “Are my bones visible from my wound now?”Aunt Connie looked at her face and trembled, not daring to take a second look.“Scram.” Shaun kicked Aunt Connie’s chest and then strode to the main hall.As Hadley watched his silhouette, he knew that a storm was brewing.He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Catherine. “Miss Jones, I’m begging you. Please stop Eldest Young Master. In order to save you today, he got people to surround the manor, and it has angered the Old Master. I
“I asked Aunt Connie personally, and I also saw Catherine’s face. She’s my woman. Do you know how important looks are to a woman?” Shaun’s hands were trembling from his rage. “How exactly did she offend you? What kind of grudge do you have against her?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything.” Valerie hid behind the Old Madam and trembled.“Don’t think I don’t know. It was Nicola Wicks and her daughter that told you to do it, right? You’re pretty close to them. What benefits did they promise you?” Shaun’s eyes burned with anger, as if he could lose his rationality at any moment..Knowing that she could not hide the truth, Valerie gritted her teeth. “Fine, so what if I did it? Shaun, I’m your aunt. Are you going to kill me because of an outsider?”“She’s not an outsider. She’s my woman. I won’t kill you, but I want you to compensate her with your face.”Shaun walked towards Valerie step by step.“You can’t do that.” Old Madam Hill defended Valerie and said a
“Come on, let’s go home.”Catherine held his hand.Home...A trace of pain flashed across Shaun’s handsome face.Once upon a time, this was his home.However, the only place that felt like home now was with her.“Okay.”After a long time, he nodded. He held her and left the Hill family without looking back.When Valerie saw his silhouette disappear, she shuddered and said, “Mom, Dad, I think that Shaun must be ill again. He was so terrifying just now. It was just like when he used to hurt others…”“Enough.” Old Madam Hill slapped her face in disappointment. “How dare you have the nerve to say that? Did you not have enough from the Hill family? How could you be bribed by outsiders?”Liam angrily accused her as well. “Aunt Valerie, you’re too vicious.”Shamed, Valerie clenched her fists in chagrin. She hated Shaun so much that her teeth ached.She would get even with him.… The car drove on the bends of Sherman Mountain.Hadley drove the car while Shaun kept staring at Ca
... After arriving at the hospital, Chester arranged for the top doctors in the hospital to perform a detailed physical examination on her.In the ward, the results came out very quickly.Chester looked at the emaciated woman on the bed who was given saline and sighed with pity. “All the indicators are not up to standard. Hypoglycemia, anemia, dehydration, malnutrition, and peptic ulcer.”Catherine nodded. Her body was her own. These days, she often vomited and passed out from all the stomach pains she had, so she knew all that.Shaun clenched his fists. He knew that she was not in good health, but now she was even worse.“Ahem, Catherine, you should rest first.” Chester suddenly said to Shaun, “Come with me to get the medicine…”“Doctor Jewell, you can say anything in front of me, even if it has to do with my face…” Catherine smiled at him. “You don’t have to hide it from me.”Chester looked at her sympathetically. “Alright, to be honest, the fester on your face is really ser
However… How could that be?How many of such men existed in this world?Especially a man as handsome as he was. Even if he was no longer the one standing on the top of the pyramid, a lot of women were still willing to throw themselves at him.“That’s enough.” Catherine turned away and lowered her dark eyelashes. “Eldest Young Master, it must be very tiring to force yourself this way. You’ll end up vomiting in the washroom later.”“It doesn’t matter. I have a lifetime to prove it to you.”Shaun kissed her forehead. “Chester said you can’t eat solid food right now because your stomach can’t digest it. I’ll get a bottle of warm milk for you.”He got up and went to the kitchen.The door to the ward was pushed open, and Freya immediately rushed in.“Cathy, Shaun told me that you’re hospitalized…” When she saw Catherine’s face, she screamed in disbelief. “Why is your face…”“Oh, it’s ruined.” Catherine smiled at her.“What the hell happened? I couldn’t reach you at all these days.
“Cathy, don’t say anything. I know. He must be some hotshot from an influential family, but I’m not afraid. At most, I’ll just be disfigured with you. I owe you this much. If I didn’t mistake Shaun Hill for someone else in the first place, you wouldn’t have gotten involved with him.”Freya almost cried out of remorse.“Oh, so it all started because of you. I knew stupid girls like you only know how to talk big, and you don’t mean it at all,” Rodney said viciously.“Shut your mouth, you ladyboy,” Freya roared at him.“What did you say?” Rodney’s handsome face was about to turn into ice.“Did I say anything wrong? You’re a man wearing a pink shirt. You look prettier than women and you talk more than a woman. Are you a man or a woman?”“You stupid woman. If I don’t kill you…” Rodney was about to charge at her in anger, but Chase hurriedly held him back. “Bro, calm down.”“Didn’t you hear her scold me? How can I calm down?” Rodney was furious.Freya added slyly, “Don’t be mad. You’
He thought that they were a match made in heaven, but it turned out to be an ill-fated love.Rodney looked at Catherine’s appearance and suddenly fell silent.Honestly, he did not like her much before, but he felt sad for her now as well.“If you think of me as a brother, then think of a gift for my wedding. I plan to hold a sensational wedding with her in a month.” Shaun’s dark eyes looked at Catherine as he said seriously, “You don’t believe me, but I want to tell the whole world that no matter her looks won’t change my love for her.”Catherine suddenly looked up and met his gaze in shock.She really could not figure out what he was thinking.Was he… not tired of this?“I’m not willing,” she said after a long time. “Do you want the whole world to see my disfigured face?”Shaun’s handsome face stiffened.Catherine said every word loud and clear, “What I wanted was never for the world to know how much you love me. All that is superficial. Do you understand?”Her words were li
