Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 261
The nurse led Gale into the doctor's office. They explained Wendy's condition and treatment method in detail.The special pill caused thousands for just one, and they issued a whole box in one go!What Gale did not know was the fact that Susan had slipped into the ward when Gale was at the doctor's office!Wendy was in a deep sleep, but Susan did not hesitate to shake her rudely. "Hey, old lady, wake up! Stop sleeping!"When Wendy did not react, she violently pinched Wendy on the hand. "You're still in the mood to sleep. Your grandchild's already dead. The grandchild that should have been loved for his whole life!"Wendy hissed as the pinch woke her up."It's you?" Wendy jumped in fright when she saw Susan. "W…Why are you here again? Nurse, nurse!"Wendy wanted to call someone over to chase Susan away.That woman was not good news!"Haha, it's not like I'll do anything to you. I'm just here for a chat. Last time, I think the two of us had a good talk," Susan said.Wendy stare

The diamond shined brightly and was incredibly beautiful.Wendy was incredibly anxious. "He gave it to you?""That's right. Did you think that Gale's the only woman Shawn has?"Wendy's eyes rolled, twitching a few times before she fell on the bed heavily, fainting."Hey, old lady…" Wendy shouted a few times, "I had just said a few things. Could you really have died from the anger? Hello?"Susan even pinched Wendy a few times, but there was no reaction.She started to panic and reached her hand out to Wendy's nose…Wendy did not seem to be breathing!Susan's heart started to beat rapidly as she retreated in fear, hurriedly turning around to leave.She never expected Wendy to be so weak…If Wendy died, Gale would probably want her life!Susan ran out of the ward, scrambling. Right as she was about to get to the elevator, Gale happened to leave the doctor's office.The two of them bumped right into each other."Susan!" Gale's heart sank the moment she saw Susan.Susan panick

"I was… just speaking the truth!""What truth?! The truth of me marrying Shawn or the truth of my abortion?"No matter which one it was, it was not something Wendy would be able to handle!Any mother would feel hurt for their children!Susan gulped. "It…it was all just the truth! I didn't make anything up!"Gale's eyes were already reddened. "You stay right here. You're not allowed to go anywhere. You'd better pray that my mother's fine!""This has nothing to do with me!""Susan!" Gale violently shoved Susan and started to fight.Gale's parents were her bottom line. She would make Susan pay that day!Susan did not show any weakness, grabbing Gale's hair and pulling on it.When two women fought, it usually involved hair pulling and clothes being ripped.Those who passed by and saw the fight did not know what to do to help and just stood by watching.At that moment, in the Wood Group Headquarters, Shawn was having a meeting with a few executives in his office."Mr. Wood!

Shawn relaxed."I do want to kill you. So what? Are you not happy? I'll beat you until you are!" Gale said.At that moment, the doors to the operating theater suddenly opened. A doctor walked out with a serious expression. "The patient is in critical condition. We need a family member's signature and payment for the fees!"Shawn said, "Do everything to save her at all costs!"He knew that if anything happened to Wendy…Gale would collapse mentally."You have to save my mother. I'll do anything!" Gale clasped her hands together and stood in front of the doctor. "Please!""We'll do everything we can!"The doors closed again.Two hours had passed, but the surgery did not show any signs of ending!Gale's legs gave in, and she almost fell."Careful." Shawn walked forward and held her.Gale did not want his help and pushed him away. "Don't touch me!"He pursed his lips. "Why are you throwing your temper at me?""Didn't Susan only dare to do this because you've been supporting

He said, "Thankfully, you didn't lose."Shawn pulled up her sleeves and checked all around, making sure she was not injured.If Gale lost and Gale's face was injured, he still would not be able to do anything to Susan. Then he would really not know what to do.On the way, he had been worried that Gale would lose.Thankfully, Gale did not lose.Gale was stunned, not understanding what Shawn meant.She pulled her hand away and avoided his touch. "Since I can't beat her up today, I won't let her off if I see Susan again!""Leave her to me, don't interfere."Gale snorted, "Shawn, don't you keep insisting that you love me? Why are you still siding with Susan when it comes to her and me?!" He looked like he was chasing Susan away, but he was actually protecting Susan!"Are you jealous?" Shawn raised an eyebrow and asked.Gale was stunned again.She… was jealous? Shawn clearly said that he loved her, but between her and Susan, he would always treat Susan well. In truth, Gale

Only when she pushed the door to his room open did she understand.Lucas sat on the sofa. He no longer had his youthful and pleased expression on his face and looked incredibly old and tired.Paula was pouring him some tea."You're back. Come in. Close the door and sit," Lucas said.Gale did not say anything and looked at Shawn, who was behind her."Grandpa, why are you here?" Shawn walked in and said, "You even chased everyone in the corridors away.""It's because this is a family matter. I don't want anyone unrelated to overhear our conversation.""What do you want?"Lucas put down his tea and pointed at Gale. "I want you to get rid of her. Get a divorce immediately!"Shawn started to frown.Gale laughed. "Shawn, this time, I'm not the one asking for a divorce."Lucas still had a certain amount of power within the family. It would be challenging for Shawn to resist the pressure from his family to get a divorce.Gale wanted to see how long Shawn could resist. Furthermore

Lucas was stunned, not expecting her to agree so easily.The Wood family was so powerful. Their fortune was immense, but she did not want a single cent.Gale said, "When should we do it? I'll cooperate unconditionally." "W…What are you trying to do?""Not everyone covets money and power. Lucas, you should convince Shawn and make him agree," Gale said.Paule interrupted, "So are you saying that Shawn's the one who's not willing to get a divorce?"Gale smiled and answered, "You're right."Lucas and Paula's expressions changed rapidly.Lucas asked, "Shawn, you… don't want to get a divorce?"Shawn nodded. "Yes.""You must have gone crazy!" Lucas stood up furiously. "You can have any woman you want, but you don't want to get a divorce?!""Gale is the only one I want," Shawn answered honestly. His expression was incredibly calm, leaving no room for negotiation.Lucas watched him grow up and naturally knew his character.He was being serious.Paula's mouth was wide in surprise

After a week, the doctor announced that Gale could leave the hospital.Shawn came to get her personally.Furthermore, after getting opinions from Joe and Fiona, he even bought a bouquet of flowers.Joe said, "No woman can resist fresh flowers."Fiona had said, "Mr. Wood, every woman likes getting presents."Shawn bought the most expensive roses from the shop.He stood in front of the hospital, leaning against his car. He had a suit on and looked incredibly cold and handsome. It was obvious that he was an incredibly rich man.He got a lot of second looks!All of the passersby were secretly glancing at him. Some girls even took out their phones to sneak pictures. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see what kind of woman he was waiting for.Gale came out with a mask on. She had no makeup on, and her hair draped softly over her shoulders. She looked small and thin. She shot Shawn a look before bending down and getting into the car.Shawn had been ignored.Even the flowers in his

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
