Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 232
"The operation is very..."Shawn interrupted him and asked directly, "Where's the child?"Naturally, Lucas must not hear that the operation was successful and the child was aborted!When the doctor saw Shawn's deep eyes, he immediately realized it."Sorry, we tried our best and didn't save the child," the doctor changed his words immediately, "Mr. Wood, don't be too sad... You and Mrs. Wood are both young and healthy, so it's perfectly safe to have a child in the future."Shawn gave a nod."Now Mrs. Wood's body is relatively weak, and the anesthesia has not yet worn off. She needs to be transferred to the ward for a good recovery. She should at least stay in the hospital for a week and fully recover," the doctor said.After that, the doctor left.Shawn still stood there, motionless.He finally did this, but in his heart... he did not feel happy at all.Instead, there was a deep sense of loss, panic, and helplessness...It seemed that something very important was lost.Sha

However, just after the meeting ended, Summer, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed in immediately.Joe was taken aback by her. "What's wrong? I was shocked.""Mr. Wood didn't come to the company?""Yes. Why do you care about his whereabouts?"Summer stomped her feet anxiously. "Gale didn't come to the company either! These two people disappeared at the same time. Something must have happened!""What?"Summer was about to cry. "What should I do? This is so abnormal. I'm so worried about Gale. Joe, can you think of a way to find out?"Usually, the two of them were always bickering.However, at this critical moment, the two could fight side by side.Especially since… women's tears were the natural enemy of men.Summer was usually careless and heartless, but now she was so anxious and cried. Her eyes were red, which made Joe's heart soften even more.He replied quickly, "Don't cry, it's not a big deal.""It must be a big deal! I have a hunch! A woman's sixth se

The two said in unison.Joe was speechless.It was really hard to be a peacemaker!Joe changed the subject. "Shawn, you didn't come to the company today because of Gale...""She has just finished the abortion and is weak. I will accompany her."Summer shouted, "You forced her to do it! Gale loves this child so much. Why is she willing to have an abortion!""I forced her. So what?" Shawn admitted frankly."You are a scum! Scum... "Joe covered her mouth again."Take her away. Joe, next time, don't try to keep her!"After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, his figure getting farther and farther away.Summer kept mumbling, and although he could not hear it clearly, it was definitely not a good word.She punched and kicked at Shawn's back, and Joe took a lot of effort to pull her away."Joe! Which side are you helping!" Summer waved him away at the door of the hospital. "Look at what Shawn did. Isn't that an inhuman thing! He is worse than a beast!""It's alread

Summer took two steps, and suddenly her stomach growled.It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to eat.Joe laughed, raised his hand, and rubbed her hair. "Let's take you to eat first."Summer pouted and lowered her head. "Okay."She was depressed and did not realize that they had actually gotten that close to each other.There were still people coming and going from the hospital.The sky slowly darkened.In the sky, the sunset began to glow.However, it was tense in the VIP ward.Shawn said with a sullen face, "Why hasn't she woken up yet? Didn't she say that the effect of the anesthesia would be over by the afternoon?"It was already six o'clock, and Gale showed no sign of waking up!"Mr. Wood, don't be impatient. I'll check..." The doctor carefully checked the various conditions of Gale's body.The result showed… all vital signals were normal.Shawn had a bad expression on his face, stood beside him, and carefully stared at every movement of the doctor."

"Can you solve the problem by sleeping?""Your father is in prison, and your mother in the hospital. Don't you care about them?"Father, mother...She has not enjoyed the warmth of the family for a long time.Gale opened her mouth, and her throat was dry.Shawn looked deeply at the woman in front of her. Her tightly closed lips slowly opened, pale and cracked.He turned around and picked up the glass with water, wet a cotton swab, and gently moistened the corners of her lips.However, Shawn felt that this method was too slow.He simply took a sip, lowered his head to kiss her lips, and poured the water into her mouth.The water temperature was just right and tasted sweet...Gale slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the man's eyebrows close to her.Shawn.His eyelashes are very long, and the way he closed his eyes looked a bit affectionate.The touch on her lips reminded Gale of what she was going through.Whether it was feeding her water or kissing her, Gale did n

He said, "Gale, you and your child's father must have a relationship. That's why you care so much! You want to have a child for him and look forward to getting along with him.""Yes!""You say it again!""Yes!"Gale gave up. If she told the truth, he would not believe her, so she just wanted to piss him off!"The child's father said he wanted to marry me, and I'm waiting for him! He was very gentle and considerate to me, and he promised me a future! Such a man is a thousand times better than you. Ten thousand times!" Gale said.The blue veins on Shawn's forehead protruded."You're pissing me off, Gale!"She snorted and raised the corners of her lips. "I just said a few words, and you can't stand it."What about her? What she lost was a living life.Gale's hands kept shaking, slowly covering his lower abdomen.It was flat.Although it was flat before, she knew the child was still there and lived with her.Now…there was nothing.The child was her reason to live, but Shawn

Various emotions dawned upon Gale, causing her to collapse and lose control completely.She raised her hand and threw the pillow at Shawn's body, throwing all the things within her reach at him.She even swept all the water glasses on the bedside table to the ground.It cracked to pieces.The sound alarmed the bodyguards outside, thinking that something had happened, and they immediately kicked the door and rushed in. "Mr. Wood!"Gale gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, and her hands were on the bed.She was still connected to the IV drip, but her movements were too violent, and the needle on the back of her hand had already moved out of its spot.She simply pulled it out and overturned the infusion rod to the ground.The bodyguards were stunned. "Mrs. Wood..."Shawn's face was ashen as he watched her lose her temper without saying a word.Gale also had a temper.Gale said, "I really hate you! Shawn, you are so cruel to me, yet you still want me to stay by your side regard

Gale could even hear the sound of liquid dripping from the IV drip.Her heart sounded still and lifeless, reflective of her current state.Shawn sat on the sofa with the laptop on his lap and started to work.This was the first time he had not gone to the company since he took over as the president of the Wood Group.All because of Gale.It was a pity that she still could not appreciate it.Shawn stared deeply at the computer. He was impetuous and could not work properly.After replying to Fiona's message and sending a few instructions, his fingers landed on the keyboard, motionless.Until the news of Joe popped up."Mr. Wood, what's the situation now?""Has Gale woken up?"Joe kept messaging him, asking what had happened and the current situation.Shawn did not reply.He closed the computer, put it aside, and furrowed his eyebrows heavily.Looking up, Gale was already asleep.She tilted her head and closed her eyes, looking very quiet.There was sleeping medicine place

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
