Shawn's eyes narrowed. "Housekeeper!"The housekeeper hurried over, sweating profusely. "Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood is bleeding heavily. She is in critical condition and has just been sent to rescue.""She's bleeding too?""Yeah, when I was in the ambulance, your wife was still conscious, but as soon as she got to the hospital, she fell unconscious and kept talking about the child... ah."The housekeeper sighed and shook his head.The dean was startled and then rejoiced.Susan was smart enough not only to have a smooth abortion but also would be successful in making Gale lose her child!Awesome!However, the dean did not show it.He said very angrily, "She deserves it! This is God's hand. Retribution is too fast... She wanted to kill the child in Susan's belly, but she ended up taking herself in!"The housekeeper hurriedly defended Gale, "What is going on here? Please don't come to a conclusion yet. What he said is inappropriate.""Mr. Wood said it himself. It was Gale who killed S

Shawn wants to kill her child with his own hands!Gale said, "Shawn, you can't do this. The child is innocent, and the hatred between you and I cannot involve the child!""You know that your child is innocent, then, the child in Susan's womb is also innocent, no?""She..."Shawn's eyes were like a knife, and he lifted her chin lightly. "Susan's child can't be saved. The doctor just said it himself. So, Gale, why should your child live safely and well?"His fingertips were colder than this operating table, so cold that Gale was shivering.Gale had tears in her eyes. "Her child is gone. I... have nothing to do with me… I didn't want to hurt her. I didn't do anything, it was she... herself...""You mean she harmed her own child?"Gale's mind went blank for a short time.She also had no idea what Susan wanted to do... The child was a bargaining chip, and Susan should take good care of it.When she fell down at that time, Susan could have stayed away from her and not touched her,

Shawn had ordered not to allow surgery to save her child. Who dares to defy him?"Doctor, what should I do? I really can't lose my child..." she sobbed softly.She thought, one day in the future when the child's father appears, how should she explain it to him?Did she really fail?The doctor replied, "Sorry, I... I can't go against Mr. Wood's intentions either. Also, he is your husband, and he has the right to decide."Husband... Hah.Unexpectedly, the purpose of having the husband's identity led to him being able to decide the life and death of her child.Gale gritted her teeth. "I want to have an operation. I want to protect the child. My husband's words don't count! I also have the right to decide!""Then, the cost of the operation..."Needless to say, that was like pouring cold water on Gale.The money she did not have.However, money is so important at a critical moment.Could it be... she had to just slowly endorse her child losing signs of life little by little and

At the same time, Susan's surgery had just ended.The doctor said regretfully, "I'm sorry, despite the best efforts to save the child, the child...was not saved. The pregnant woman's body has also suffered great damage and needs to be hospitalized for recuperation.""My poor Susan!" The dean wailed, "Isn't this like killing her!"Shawn said lightly, "I see." The nurse pushed the hospital bed and transferred Susan to the VIP ward.She fell asleep, her face paled.Although... Shawn did not like her very much, but seeing her like this made him feel a little guilty.It was he who did not protect her."Mr. Wood, you must not let Gale go! This time, she killed Susan's child. Next time, she will kill Susan!" said the dean."I will deal with her.""It should be..."Shawn raised his hand and interrupted the dean's words. "You can stay with her here.""Mr. Wood, don't you want to wait for Susan to wake up?""No.""This… if Susan doesn't see you when she wakes up, she will be sad."

In an instant, the aura of Shawn's whole body was as chilling as the cold.How dare someone take Gale away under his nose?Who was it?Where did the rescuers come from?"Find out what happened to me within five minutes!" Shawn roared deeply."Yes…!"He threw the phone on the seat with a gloomy expression on his face.Shawn looked down at his watch, counting the minutes and seconds of the time. His patience was about to run out!Just ten seconds away from five minutes, the phone rang again."Speak.""Mr. Wood, it was Aurum who picked up your wife!""Was it him?""Yes. Also, Aurum sent your wife to a private hospital under the Lefting Group!" the subordinate replied.Shawn immediately ordered, "Turn around!"This change was completely unexpected.Gale was really smart. She could still think under desperate circumstances and save the child in her belly!In Lefting Private Hospital, in the senior ward, Gale was lying on the bed with a pale face and her eyes closed."Mr. Le

Aurum reached out and stopped him. "Gale is still in a coma.""I want to take her away!"Aurum asked, "Why? She is very weak now and needs hospital treatment.""No reason!"Shawn waved his hand heavily and still wanted to enter the ward.However, Aurum is also very strong. "Mr. Wood, she needs to rest now."Shawn narrowed his eyes. "Are you... forbidding me from seeing Gale?"This woman has such an ability to seduce men. He and she have a deep blood feud, and yet she has managed to tease him over and over again. He had gotten soft-hearted for her…What more other men!Aurum replied, "Mr. Wood is joking. I have a girlfriend. I'm just a friend to Ms. Gale."A high-quality man like Aurum was already taken.His girlfriend is a well-known daughter of another powerful family.Aurum, who is rich, handsome, gentle and responsible… any smart woman would hang on to him.What's more, they were both talented and beautiful.Shawn said, "Friend? How many times have you met? Aurum, we

Gale nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, I see."Thank God.The child was saved.She raised her hand happily and wiped away the tears.Shawn's hand grabbed her chin abruptly. "Gale, why can you keep this child of yours!?" Thesame fall, the same rolling down the steps, his child was not saved.Yet, Gale escaped unharmed?It was not fair!Gale was forced to look up at him. "Susan's child… was not saved?""Yes!"She said, "I understand your feelings, you are a first-time father, and you must be fantasizing about having children. But it wasn't me that caused it. I didn't do anything."Shawn gritted his teeth. Blue veins burst out on his forehead. "It was you who fell, grabbed Susan, and rolled down the steps together. I can see it clearly! If you want to drag her with you, you have already thought about harming her!"Gale shook her head, her voice soft but firm. "I didn't. "If it were her fault, she would have admitted it and apologized.If it were not her fault, she would never

Shawn picked her up and strode out.People came and went to the hospital, and Shawn was extremely handsome and powerful, which drew attention.Gale was in his arms and was embarrassed to look up at those people's eyes.She said, "Let me down. I can go by myself.""Are you sure?""I will crawl out of the hospital if I need to."Shawn said coldly, "Save the strength for Susan to admit your mistake.""Admit?" Gale's heart trembled. "You want me to admit it?""Yes!""What did I do wrong!""You are the one who killed the child. It was you who pulled her down the steps and caused her to miscarry!" Shawn's adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse. "Gale, you are a murderer!"Murderer?Ridiculous...At that time, Gale remembered clearly.It was Susan who was approaching step by step. Susan was provoking her, and she went to the hospital to aggravate Wendy…She turned her back to the steps and had not noticed the steps behind her, but Susan could definitely see them.The mo

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
