They were ready to climb down directly from the window and launch the rescue operation. The safety rope around their waists was the only thing preventing their death. On these high floors, taking on this task was impossible without strong mental resilience and agile skills. Bodyguard Pearton discreetly glanced down. He could see Natalie exposing half of her body. Quickly, Pearton withdrew his gaze and checked his safety equipment.A teammate beside him nudged his arm, communicating softly, "See anything?""Natalie is already at the window edge, it looks very dangerous," Pearton replied."Our two men below her are also ready. We are just waiting for Mr. Wood's command," the teammate said.Pearton pondered for a few seconds. "It's difficult for the ones below to act. Climbing is challenging, but if we climb down, it'll be easier."The teammate replied, "Don't act on your own. Let's wait for his command."Looking around and seeing everyone outside the door, the teammate spoke

Mrs. Wood's son was in danger; Pearton must go to rescue him. He was willing to risk his life to save him.He wanted to repay the debt.As he was thinking about it, the captain gestured at the door, signaling them to stand by and not act recklessly. Pearton and his teammates nodded simultaneously. At this moment, a cry came from downstairs, followed by the sudden sound of a child crying. What was going on? Pearton's heart tightened, and he immediately ran to the window to look down.He saw Natalie's body already hanging halfway out, ready to fall at any moment. The child she was holding, Joshua, was crying. Natalie had broken Joshua's wrist. "You dare to bite me! Pah, little bastard, with only one breath left, you still think about resisting? Biting me, so what? You weak kid, you didn't even leave a bite mark!" Natalie scolded."If you dare to move again, I'll break your other hand too!" Joshua's arm hung weakly at his side, swaying without any strength. The pain from f

No matter how others tried to correct how he referred to her, he did not stop. Mommy was the most precious treasure in this life! His little treasure was Nicole, his sister; he was her big brother, responsible for protecting his baby sister. Hearing him call 'Mommy', Gale knelt down with a thud. Could this be their final farewell? "If... if there is another life, I still want to be your son," Joshua said, smiling. His smile resembled Shawn's. You are a great and wonderful Mommy." "If I die, I know you'll be sad for me. You'll remember me, and you'll come to see me every year. But Mommy, you have to live well, okay? Don't be too sad because of me." "You and Shawn can have more children; you're still young. Nicole can have a big brother. Goodbye, Mommy, and... Dad… Dad..." Saying this, Joshua grinned, revealing teeth stained with blood. Joshua always remembered what Nicole told him about Daddy's strength. He could lift her with one hand and even carry her over his head. She

If she continued, the Young Master was as good as dead! Even though the chances were slim, Pearton must try! Trying was the only way! Pearton's sudden appearance catches everyone off guard, and even Shawn's pupils contract in shock at this unexpected turn of events! He did not give the order, so could this bodyguard act on his own! However, Shawn did not have time to dwell on these matters. The events unfolded too quickly, catching everyone off guard.Natalie fell to the ground, her heavy body pressing on Joshua. She was dizzy and disoriented.Pearton's kick was forceful. After a couple of coughs, Natalie started to cough up blood profusely! Despite spitting blood, Natalie still clung tightly to Joshua's neck, firmly in control and unwilling to let go easily! Seeing this, Shawn immediately rushed forward. The best time to save Joshua was by using the chaos! Given his proximity, Shawn took three quick steps to the window and tried to snatch Joshua from Natalie's embrac

By then, Shawn had Joshua safely in his arms. However, Natalie, ruthless and frenzied, refused to give up, "Don't go, Joshua! We are supposed to die together!" She wanted to drag Joshua off the building.At that moment, Pearton viciously grabbed Natalie's arm with both hands, turned around, and jumped out of the window. He used the sudden momentum to drag her down.Natalie had no time to react; her whole body was yanked out of the window by Pearton, and they vanished.Silence fell to the ward, leaving only the sound of rushing wind and the sight of the curtain blowing up. After a moment, Gale struggled to climb up and looked down. "Pearton… Pearton, it's you!" she murmured.The thrilling scene left everyone dumbfounded. Pearton still had a safety rope attached to him. After falling about seven or eight meters, he stopped in mid-air and hung there. Natalie held onto his safety rope tightly, still gripping that knife.Pearton was bleeding. He bit his teeth so hard that h

Shawn had already arranged for bodyguards to go to these two floors and initiate a rescue operation. They had very high hopes. After all, Pearton had a safety rope on him so he would not fall and could survive.Pearton also understood he had a chance at survival. However, Pearton looked down at Natalie, who was holding onto him tightly, her face full of greed and a desire to live."Gale will save you. Undoubtedly, she will save me too. Hehe, as long as you live, I can live. If you die..." Natalie said.Natalie would not let go. She wanted to wait for the rescue team to arrive.Natalie was like an octopus, clinging onto Pearton. The safety rope could not withstand the weight of two people. Moreover, the rope was attached to him, and Natalie had no protective gear on her. "Let go, let go… You should have died! Even if I die, I won't die with a woman like you!" Pearton started to pry Natalie's fingers apart."Hahaha, but now, we are one. We will fall together!" Although Pea

Pearton and Natalie fell like leaves.Their free fall only lasted a few seconds.Gale watched it unfold with wide eyes. The rescue trampoline on the ground now had two black figures on it. They looked like ants, but they were two living people. Slowly, blood began to seep from them, quickly staining a large area. The bright red blood looked so chilling.Gale felt like her eyes were also tainted red; everything she looked at was shrouded in a red haze. "Pearton..." All her strength seemed drained, and she closed her eyes, unable to bear watching anymore. Why, in the end, did someone have to pay the price of their life for Natalie's madness? Why? Natalie's death was no loss; she reaped what she sowed. But Pearton... Pearton was such a good person! Gale did not want anything to happen to Pearton either! She propped herself up on the windowsill and stood up, wanting to go downstairs and look at Pearton... However, everything went black before her, and Gale fell to the ground.

Shawn pressed the elevator button, and coincidentally, Aurum reached out to press it too. Shawn glanced at Aurum, mocking, "You're indeed just as I imagined, more concerned about Natalie." "Natalie is dead," Aurum said calmly. His tone sounded as if he was discussing the weather. He was well aware that Natalie, falling from such a height, had no chance of survival."She deserved to die. She got off too easily!" Shawn replied."She's already dead." "You were there; I don't need to explain to you what happened. You didn't say a word or lend a hand when it was needed!" Shawn said coldly.Aurum said with a sense of helplessness, "I can't do anything. I can't save Natalie, can't save Joshua. I can't save anyone; I can only watch from the sidelines. I... I'm so useless." He was like a spectator, watching scenes unfold one after another before him. Pearton descended from the sky, altering the outcome. Joshua lost too much blood and passed out. Pearton and Natalie fell together. 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
