"You were doting on me?""Yes, didn't you feel it?"Gale was speechless."My patience is limited." Shawn pulled out a chair and sat next to the bed. "Gale, as a woman, you should have some sensitivity.""I'm sorry, I'm just completely insensitive. You should go dote on someone else. I don't need it."He frowned unhappily.Gale flipped through her book, wanting to give it a good read. However, Shawn kept on staring at her by the side, not letting her calm down."It's quite funny." She closed her book and said, "Susan's your benefactor, but you can kick her aside just like that, running to me. Shawn, all I have for you is hatred. Once you get over the novelty of it all, my end… might be ten thousand times worse than Susan's."Gale was not blinded by love.Her mind was very clear.She knew very well how shallow and weak the love Shawn constantly proclaimed was.It would be the start of her tragedy if she stupidly believed him and fell into his arms.Furthermore…Shawn had mad
She hid her knife there!Could Shawn have noticed?Gale did not dare think about it any further. She held her breath, not daring to breathe. Shawn gently pried her hand away. "What? Why are you so afraid of me touching your pillow?""I…I'm not…""Are you worried I'd find it?"Shawn quickly pulled out the knife hidden beneath the pillow as he said that.Gale was completely dumbfounded.He actually knew of her hidden knife!How did he know that?!"Are you surprised?" Shawn's defined hand held the knife. "You hid it so well, but I still noticed it…""Y…You…" Gale stammered, unable to say anything.It was the first time she felt how scary and unfathomable that man could be!Shawn said casually, "You asked the guards to buy so many fruits, but the knife disappeared. I guessed it very easily."Gale bit her lips."The room is so large, so where could you hide it? It's obviously the pillow. Gale, tell me, what were you hiding this knife for?" Shawn said.He raised an eyebrow,
What was he thinking?Was he really not afraid of dying?Or… Was he certain that she would not have the guts to do it?!"Shawn, don't be too confident in yourself. There's a sea of hatred between the two of us. I want nothing more than for you to die right now!" Gale said through clenched teeth. "I know. So, do it." Gale clenched her teeth and slowly pushed the knife in.Blood slowly seeped through Shawn's shirt.His expression did not change at all.It was as if that blood was not his!"I hate you. I hate you so much!" Gale repeated. She did not even know if she was saying it for her sake or his. "I hate you so much that I want you to disappear from my sight right now… Shawn, you ruined my whole life!""I know. I was too cruel to you before this. So, I'll return everything to you.""You're paying me back with your life?"Shawn nodded. "Yes, with my life and my heart. You can have everything you want."Gale clenched her teeth. "The Wood Group and family, the power and st
As Gale was shouting out, her hand was moving out of control. The sharp knife left a thin and long cut on her neck. It was not deep, but it still broke through the skin. Blood slowly flowed out.That wound was far more painful than any wound that could be inflicted on Shawn himself.At that moment, he knew that she had successfully punished him."Alright, alright, It's my fault." Shawn no longer cared about anything else at that moment. He just wanted her to put the knife down. "It's all my doing. You were completely innocent. Gale, don't do this!"Gale looked at him. His fear and helplessness were not something that could be faked.So… he really did fall for her.When did that happen?She had not noticed at all."We can talk about anything. I'll promise you anything. I'll give you whatever you want!" Shawn stared at her, not even daring to blink."I want my child. I want my child to be still living in my stomach. Can you do that?"Shawn fell silent.There was no way to re
Gale refused it with all her might, frantically shaking her head as she did."If you hated me enough, there's no way you would have hesitated to push that knife in when there was such a good chance in front of you. While you hate me, you love me too," Shawn said calmly."No, that's impossible. How could that… No, it's not like that! Shawn, I don't understand what you're saying!" Gale clutched her head as she loudly rejected the idea.One of her parents was in the hospital because of him, and the other was in jail. Her future had once been bright and beautiful, but because of him, she spent two years in the mental hospital.He had even personally gotten her child aborted…How could she fall in love with a demon like that?!Shawn merely looked at her calmly before pressing the call button. "Have the doctors come over.""Yes, Mr. Wood."A few doctors and nurses pushed the door open and entered very quickly.When they saw the scene in the ward, all of them were dumbfounded and s
Shawn nodded before he picked up the knife by the side. "Throw this away. From now on, no sharp objects are allowed inside the ward. Absolutely none."He had known that Gale had hidden a knife under her pillow for a long time.However, he had said nothing about it and had not taken it away.That was because Shawn felt he would give her a chance since she wanted to kill him with it.He never expected that, at the last moment, Gale would turn the knife in another direction, piercing herself instead of him.Shawn's hand was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages.Even so, blood still stained the bandages red."I couldn't kill you, and you won't let me die…Shawn, do you just want the two of us to continue fighting like this our whole lives?" Gale spoke softly."Yes.""Why?"He said in a deep voice, "Because you need to be by my side."Gale bit her lower lip. "But I don't love you. I hate you. I can't bear your love at all!""You can hate me if you want to. All I need is to love y
The front desk was stunned when Shawn appeared at the entrance of the company. "M…Mr…" He still had that blue shirt on, which was stained with blood. He had a bandage on his hand, and his expression was incredibly dark. He looked like…He had just killed someone."Mr. Wood!" Fiona hurried over in a panic. "You… Ah, this b-blood."Shawn looked at her coldly.He went back to the president's office and got a change of clothes from the lounge. After that, he went right to work.Fiona said, "Mr. Wood, your hand… You should rest. You can dictate, and I'll help you write everything down."Shawn said calmly, "It's not broken. I'm not a cripple.""Oh… Mr. Wood, you have such a good mentality."If a normal person got hurt like that, they would already be considered quite strong if they were not crying their hearts out."It's because this was in exchange for her safety. It was worth it." Shawn opened his palm.Fiona did not understand, but she did not ask any further.However, Fion
Shawn leaned into his chair with a tired expression."I would recommend that you completely cut your ties with Susan first. Women need a sense of security the most. A firm choice would show your love. If you want a future with Gale, you have to cut things off with Susan completely," Joe said.Shawn remained silent."Could you… Like them both? Do you want one woman in each hand? Surely not, Shawn. With Susan's character and personality… You'd only like her if you're blind.""I understand. You can go," Shawn said.Joe was speechless.Haha, he was being chased out the moment Shawn was done using him!Scumbag!"You're still not going? Do you want to stay for a meeting? Maybe you want to see a client or go on a business trip?" Shawn asked.Joe disappeared in a flash.Shawn got up and walked to the balcony. He lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it.Shawn only left the company at ten in the night."Mr. Wood, you need to change the dressings on your hand…""Prepare the car. We're g
