Chapter 379

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
…

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 serious, and
the area is quite large. I’ve consulted several top cosmetologists, and they’ll do as much as possible to
repair you, but… it won’t be a perfect recovery.”

“Doctor Jewell, can you go into more detail?” Catherine looked at him.



The more Shaun saw how calm she saw, the more his heart ached. “There’s no need to ask him. If the
technology here isn’t enough and you can’t be fixed locally, we’ll go overseas. The beauty technology in
Australia isn’t world-class.”

“I don’t want to have cosmetic surgery for a new face.” Catherine interrupted him.



Shaun wiped his glasses. “There’ll be scars and unevenness.”

“I understand.” Catherine nodded and leaned back on the pillow. “Thank you.”

“I’m sorry. But technology is developing very fast now, so you don’t have to give up hope.” Chester
comforted her.

“It’s okay. It’s actually better this way.” Catherine had a faint smile on her face since the beginning, but
anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was no longer hopeful. She had given up and resigned
herself to fate. She no longer cared.



Shaun’s eyes dimmed, and he said to Chester, “Why don’t you go out first?”



“Okay.” Chester closed the door as he left.

Shaun walked to her bedside and held her hand tightly. His dark eyes were serious. “No matter what you
look like, I don’t care. I love you, not your face.”

“Is that so?” Catherine looked at his freshly changed clothes. “Don’t lie to yourself. You just gave me a
hug earlier, but you’ve already changed your clothes. Shaun Hill, you’re really a clean freak, you know



that?”

“No… That’s not it…” For the first time, Shaun felt like a child. He was at a loss.

He could not tell her that he had hurt himself because his sickness acted up again. He had to change
into clean clothes because his clothes were covered with blood.

If she knew he was sick, she would be even more afraid of him.

“You’re not very good at explaining yourself,” Catherine said teasingly. “Shaun, I’m actually not sad that
my face is disfigured. In fact, I’m glad. It’s a good thing. Now that I’m so ugly and disgusting enough to
make people puke, can you still sleep beside me? We should just part on good terms now. At least grant
me this last dignity.”

Shaun was infuriated.

She wanted to leave him so badly.

“Catherine, I’m not as superficial as you think. I’ll prove it to you right now.”

He forcefully pulled her into his arms and sealed her lips with his burning ones.

Her lips were dry, and her face still smelled bad due to the wound.

To be honest, even Catherine could not stand herself.

However, this man held her like he was holding his beloved woman. His kiss was gentle and sorrowful.

Shaun kissed Catherine until she was breathless.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. His buzz-cut hair and his long butterfly-
wings-like eyelashes made his handsome face very masculine. He looked better than the male stars in



Korean dramas.

When the kiss ended, his lips gently fell on the wound on her cheek like a feather. The gentle kisses
gave Catherine a strong impression.

It was as if he really loved her enough to not care about her appearance.
