"Last night's surgery fees, including medical fees, diagnosis and treatment fees..." The nurse said, "You already owe tens of thousands. You need to pay the fees now, otherwise, we will not be able to continue administering the medicine."Heather's eyes widened. "What? It's impossible! When I was sent to the hospital yesterday, I saw Aurum handing over 20,000 dollars!""Here's the breakdown. You can check it yourself.""Let me see!" Heather snatched it away. "This... is so expensive!"The nurse explained, "The patient has a heart problem. We're using high end equipment on him. If we use the imported medicine, it would be even higher, we didn't do that.""Higher? How much is that?" Heather asked."Several hundred thousand. The details still need to be communicated with the doctor, how to perform the surgery, how to use the medicine, etc," the nurse replied."Are you trying to steal our money? Also, what kind of medicine is so expensive? More than a hundred dollars per box?"He

"If you want me to produce evidence, I can send people to collect it right away."When Heather heard this, she held herself back.She was powerless. How could she fight?"That's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me." Heather smiled. "Now is not the time to settle accounts. It is time to save lives. If your father is gone, can you live with yourself?"Gale pulled out her chair and sat down, looking calm."He doesn't treat me as a daughter. Why should I treat him as a father? In his heart, he only recognizes Natalie. He didn't want me as a daughter back then. It was my mother who insisted on having me," Gale said.Heather shook her head. "No way, how is it possible? Matthew is not this kind of person.""How can what he said personally in front of me yesterday be false?""Uh...you really have the heart to do nothing to save him? This is your dad, your real dad!""He and I are only related by blood, not feelings."Heather rolled her eyes and thought rapidly.Matthew had comp

"He said that he didn't want anything anymore. He wants a divorce, and he will leave us the house. He only had one request, and that was to take you and Natalie out of Sea City and never appear in front of me again. He wants to live a happy life with you."Heather was stunned and turned her head stiffly to look at the unconscious Matthew.Had he really said that?He still wanted to take her away with him?"You treat him as a cash machine, but he treats you as your true love." Gale clicked her tongue twice. "I have to say, Heather, you are still very good at toying with men. At such a moment, Matthew still cares about you and considers you in his future."Heather gritted her teeth. "But, he can't even protect himself now! What's more, if you don't want to let Natalie go, how can he take her away!""He can take you away.""We are old and unemployed. How should we fend for ourselves? Do you mean for us to beg for money?"Heather has been cared for and pampered by Matthew. She neve

She was too quick to answer."You don't admit it?" Gale narrowed her eyes. "Do you still want the money and leave Sea City with Matthew?""I think so, but I can't just take the blame for such a big crime.""Whether you are taking the blame or you are the one who did it, Heather, you know best in your heart!"Heather's legs were a little weak, and she could not stand firmly. She retreated to the end of the hospital bed and reached out to grab the railing before she managed to stand upright.She swallowed her saliva. "I didn't do it. I didn't do anything... You can't accuse me of this. Besides, if I admit it, will you let me go? You will definitely put me in jail."Gale suddenly laughed. "If you admit it, I will really let you go. Because if I had grown up in the Yarn family, how would I have had the chance to meet Shawn and become Mrs. Wood! I am so glorious and powerful now! Which woman in the whole city can marry as well as me!?"Heather stopped talking and just glanced at her

An idea flashed in Gale's mind. "Did you and Matthew work together? Did you team up to abduct me?"Heather lowered her head and hesitated. "I... back then..."She was still thinking about it.It was possible to get the money, leave Sea City with Matthew, and be settled forever.If she denied it?Shawn was so capable that he would most likely find the evidence.Heather was at odds with herself.She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said directly, "What happened when you disappeared..."Suddenly, at that moment, the door opened.Gale and Heather both looked up.They saw Aurum standing at the door, his hands hanging by his sides, his face haggard, his eyes bloodshot, and his face expressionless.As soon as Heather saw him, she ran over quickly. "Aurum! You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time... Aurum, what should I do? Matthew's heart is failing. I don't have the money to put up a stent for him.""Gale refuses to pay and threatens me in various way
Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1425
Everyone in Sea City knew this, so they had high opinions of Aurum.Along the way, Matthew was kind to him.Therefore, Aurum would not sit idly by.Gale nodded. "Okay, I understand. You have your feelings, and I have my principles.""Gale, what are your principles? If someone doesn't offend you, you won't offend them. If someone offends you, will you offend them?" Aurum asked."Yes."Aurum looked at her. "So, in the entire Yarn family, you only care about Mary's opinions and feelings. Everyone else has hurt you, and you have to take revenge.""Yes. My mother is the only one who truly loves me, considers me, and has never done anything to hurt me."Matthew cheated on his wife, betrayed his marriage, and supported a mistress.Not to mention Natalie, she did not deserve forgiveness at all.Heather was an outsider.In the entire Yarn family, only Mary was the victim and the only one who stood by Gale!"But Matthew is your father. After he was sent to the hospital in a coma yest

Aurum said, "Although I don't support or agree with it, I can understand it. You hate the Yarn family. You refuse to forgive Natalie and help Matthew, so Gale, what do you think of me now?"He looked straight into Gale's eyes without blinking."Me, of you?""Well, from the time we met until now, I haven't done anything to hurt you, right? In your heart, do you regard me as deserving of your kindness?" Aurum said.Gale nodded.Aurum laughed. "Don't lie to me, Gale."She was puzzled. "I lied to you?""I stood at the door of the ward for a long time. I heard a lot of the conversation between you and Heather. Including that sentence... You said I can't compare with Shawn, my company is not as good as his," Aurum said.Gale was a little surprised.He was at the door of the ward, but he never came in!"Gale, is this what you believe? So, in your heart... I am just a spare tire who is far inferior to Shawn?" Aurum asked.Gale felt a sense of powerlessness all over her body."I sai

Memories and nostalgia from time to time."Aurum… I don't even remember," Gale replied.His body shook. "You don't remember at all?""Yes, I have no impression at all. My earliest memory is in the Warm family.""You forgot. It turns out that you have forgotten everything and have no memory..." Aurum murmured softly.He was the one who had been nostalgic and clinging to the past.Aurum cherished those childhood memories so much, but to Gale, they meant nothing."We were very young at that time. Aurum, everyone has to look to the future, not the past," Gale replied."Yes, I am the only one who stays in the past and keeps those few promises. I never thought that those were mere childish words."Aurum said that he wanted to marry her, and only her, from the bottom of his heart.He remembered it all his life.He wanted to make that wish come true!So, how excited he was when he knew that Gale was the daughter of the Yarn family he was looking for! What a joy!Before he knew Gal

Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female

She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter

Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you

“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica

The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S

"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall

"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After

Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac

Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
