Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1161
“But I shouldn’t have met Ethan. Considering that I’ve been through a lot with him, I should’ve… kept a distance
from him.” Catherine’s face was streaked with tears. “What’s more, he called me this morning and didn’t show up
later, yet I forgot about it. I should’ve asked him…”
Shaun lowered his head and gently wiped away the tears on her face. “Even if you had asked him, you wouldn’t
have been able to change anything.
Something had already happened to him then. Moreover… At this point, I think you don’t quite know why he was
met with an accident yet. You should wait for the results of the investigation. Are you planning to pay your last
respects to him? Let me send you to the funeral parlor.”
“… Okay.”
With his gentle words of consolation, Catherine slowly regained her composure.
Indeed, she had to at least find out the cause of Ethan’s accident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’ll send you there.”
Shaun carried her to the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for her.
Along the journey, Catherine gazed out of the window without saying a word. All her memories with Ethan were
running through her mind. The more she thought about them, the more terrible she felt.
Only after she arrived at the funeral parlor did she whisper to Shaun, “You’d better go back. The Lyons family
members are probably here, so it might not b e good for you to attend the funeral.”
“Mm.” Shaun passed her the car keys and said gently, “If there’s anything, you can call me immediately. Take care
of yourself. Don’t let anyone bully you.”
Catherine nodded casually. Due to her mind which was in a mess, she could not be bothered to think about anything
else.
As soon as she entered the parlor, she spotted Wesley’s somber expression. Mr. Lowe had come all the way from
Melbourne. The Lowe family, the Lyons family, and the Steele family were all present with sorrowful expressions.
Tracy looked as pale as a soulless puppet.
Her mother was wiping her tears by her side. “Why is my daughter so unlucky? Her husband left right when she got
pregnant.”
Catherine jerked, feeling an unspeakable pain.
Mrs. Steele suddenly ran to Catherine to slap her the second she saw her. “ It’s your doing! If Ethan hadn’t gone to
look for you, he wouldn’t have died.”
Catherine let the slap land on her face without intending to dodge it. However, when Mrs. Steele was about to slap
Catherine, Wesley rushed toward the woman and stopped her. He then roared, “Why are you guys blaming her?
The police found out
that there were issues with the car, so the factory that manufactured the car should be held responsible instead.”
“There were issues with the car?” Catherine asked in a daze.
“Yeah. The surveillance camera showed that the car lost control and accelerated in the last ten seconds or so.”
Wesley explained, “Even if Ethan hadn’t gone to look for you, he could’ve gone to meet someone
else and the same problem would most likely arise a s well. In fact, that car that he drove was the newest

cars in the past two years.”
A look of grief washed over Catherine’s face. Did Ethan lose his life simply because of that?
“What’s more…” Wesley suddenly added, “He could’ve gone looking for you because of me. We had a conflict last
night. He probably knew that I was in a bad mood, so he wanted to mediate things without letting me find out. In
this case, the blame should go to me instead of you.”
Catherine was enlightened now. It was no wonder Ethan had said he had something important to tell her. He had
even asked her not to let Wesley know about it.
Tracy lifted her head and glanced at Wesley. With a hoarse voice, she said, “It’s okay, Mom. I’ m just unlucky, and so
is Ethan. Let’s not pin it on anyone.”
Mrs. Steele heaved a sigh.
Although Mr. Lowe was deeply saddened by the loss of his son, he still had another son. Moreover, he did not wish
to see Ethan and Wesley be at odds.
Given that Wesley’s current status was different from before, Mr. Lowe needed to fawn over him in the future. With
that, he said, “Get Ethan cremated as soon as possible. Seeing him like this… I feel truly heartbroken.”
