"Just because I didn’t meddle in your affairs, you ended up pushing Catherine and killing the twins. I only found out about this incident two days ago,” Old Master Hill said furiously. "How could you possibly be so inhuman? You can be a fickle lover, but you cannot treat your wife and children this way. Even your mom didn't go as far as this.”
“Exactly,” Old Madam Hill said in despair. "When your wife was pregnant, you messed around with Sarah all day and night. Not only did you ignore her, but you also imprisoned her and caused her to end up in a mental hospital. You've experienced a mental hospital when you were young too. How could you do such a heartless thing? She's already dead, yet you refuse to free her. Are you planning to show her how in love you are with Sarah at her own funeral?"
"Please, I beg you. Let her go." Freya suddenly sank to her knees and wept bitterly. "She was never happy during her time in Canberra. I'd like to bring her back t o Melbourne, back to where she came from."
"Take her away.” Old Master Hill waved his hand. He might not have been fond of Catherine in the beginning, but during their time together recently, he began to like her for her obedience. "You tortured her s o badly when she was alive. Now that she’s dead, just
free her and leave her in peace."
Old Madam Hill said in agony, "Shaun, I don't understand why you've become so cruel."
In that instant, Shaun’s chest clenched.
Was he cruel?
Was he wrong?
He did not mean to lock Catherine up.
He was under the impression that she was suffering from depression.
He had initially thought of giving her a sum of money that was sufficient for her to spend in her lifetime and made her leave after she gave birth to the children.
Yet, why did she die just like that?
Shaun was frozen to the spot.
In the end, Freya took Catherine away.
The scene of the two of them meeting for the first time flashed across his mind off and on.
"I'm actually ill, but I'm not insane. I'm lovesick."
