Gale looked down and saw that it was a rat!It was a massive one!Thankfully, Gale had already gotten used to sights like that in the mental hospital. So, she was not scared at all.What she was more worried about was who had kidnapped her!"Is there anyone? Is anyone here? Say something!" Gale started to knock on the wall.Who had she offended?Who would kidnap her?Normally, only Susan would hate her so much.However, Susan was whipped until her whole body was covered with blood. She had been thrown into the mental hospital to fend for herself with the dean. She had no way of doing this.As Gale was thinking about it, the cellar door suddenly opened.A rough man's voice was heard. "Shut up, just stay there quietly! If you shout anymore, I'll cut off your tongue!""Who are you?""That's got nothing to do with you. Just stay here obediently, and you'll suffer less!"Gale looked up and tried to work out what that person looked like.With a slam, the door was shut again.T
Susan raised her hand to touch her face. "Shawn gave me to the men. How else could I survive?! I had to make them hate me and not touch me, so I had to carve my face apart so they would be disgusted just looking at it!"She looked incredibly fierce, looking like she wanted to rip Gale apart!"How did you escape?" Gale asked."Haha, you don't have to care about that. Gale, you ruined everything for me. I'll make sure you suffer for it!" Susan answered."You did all this to yourself. Why are you blaming it on me?!""It was you! It was you!" Susan sounded like she was crazy. "I know that I'm out of options. Shawn won't let me die, but he'll make sure I suffer a fate worse than death! So I'll make sure to drag you down with me!""Hahaha, since Shawn loves you so much, I'll kill you! I'll make sure he'll never get the love he wants, that he'll lose you forever! If we're all dead, he won't be able to live happily!""Just wait, Gale. I'll call Shawn right now. He'll come to save you ve
She did it!"As expected of you, Mr. Wood, you're so smart. You got it straight away! That's right, I have Gale. Mr. Wood, how do you think I should deal with her?" Susan answered.Shawn coldly said, "You dare?!""Mr. Wood, please know your place. You should be begging me for mercy right now. How could you talk to me in this tone?""Hahaha, I'm already planning on dying myself. Why would I care about anyone else? My father is a complete cripple right now, and you should just let him die! Death would be a relief!"Shawn's expression sank.Susan was already out of options. She no longer cared about her well being.Since he could not power his way through, he would have to try a softer approach and talk to her slowly.He needed to stall for time for the moment!"What do you want? Give me your conditions! I'll agree to them all!" Shawn asked."Me? I want money. I want to live."He agreed without even thinking about it. "Of course."The first thing he needed to do at that moment
It got even colder, and Gale constantly shivered."How delicate. You were only locked for a few hours, and you look like you're about to kick the bucket." Susan dragged Gale out of the basement, tossing Gale on the ground on the first floor. "Did you hear my call with Shawn just now? He's coming here soon."Gale slowly opened her eyes when she heard that name.She clenched her teeth and said, "Yes, Shawn is coming. He will save me.""He won't be able to! You're in my hands right now. I won't let you go. I'll make sure you die with me! Do you even understand?! Stop holding on to any hope!" Susan shouted.Gale remained adamant, "He will save me."Susan got angrier as she thought about it, slapping Gale. "No one said you could talk back! Stop being stubborn!"After hitting Gale, she was still angry, so she sent another kick at Gale.She cursed, "If I didn't want to humiliate you in front of Shawn, I would have already killed you! Do you think I'm keeping you alive because I don't
A weakness!That would make things easier!"So you want money? That's easy. As long as you let me go, Shawn would instantly transfer you money. You can get any amount you want! After that, you can take that money and go overseas!" Gale said.Susan was stunned.Seeing that Susan was moved, Gale continued saying, "Death is the worst possible choice. Don't be impulsive. I can guarantee you that everything I said earlier can be done!"At that moment, an intense light suddenly shot in from outside.It was clear and incredibly bright. It shone so brightly that both Susan and Gale could not open their eyes.Gale held her hands in front of her eyes.Susan was incredibly quick to grab Gale's shoulders, hiding behind her. After that, she pulled out a knife and held it against Gale's neck. Susan shouted, "Who is it? Don't come closer! Stay there! Don't move! Don't come closer!" The light still shone through.Susan immediately pressed the knife against Gale's neck. "Turn off the light
"Do you think I'd believe that? I know you too well. You always do things incredibly thoroughly. You're a perfectionist… Furthermore, Gale's your beloved. You'd be worried about anything happening to her, so you would plan it out even more!"Shawn looked at her. "Gale's in your hands right now, so I wouldn't dare to act recklessly. I came alone because I wanted you to be more at ease. I came here to talk.""There's nothing to talk about!"Shawn stared right at her and said, "I can give you anything you want. As long as it's something I can give!""Really? You're willing to give me anything?""Yes!"Susan answered, "Gale told me the same thing just now. The two of you really do understand each other well!"Gale looked at Shawn's face.He looked even colder than usual, but looking closer, she could see the panic on his face.He was scared.He was scared Gale would be hurt. He was scared Gale would leave him forever.It was something he could not accept.So, he was willing to
Even though begging someone was not normally that impressive, it was practically impossible to see from Shawn.Yet, special circumstances called for special measures!He did not care about anything else!"Alright. I'll kneel down and beg you. Stop hurting her…" Shawn answered.He could not take another cut on Gale's face.At that moment, Shawn was far more humble than he had ever been!In order to save Gale, he did not care about anything else. He tossed his honor and his dignity aside.None of that was as important as Gale.Nothing was too valuable when it came to Gale's safety!"No, no. Shawn, how could you kneel to her?" Gale mumbled.He was Shawn Wood.The most powerful man in Sea City.Yet, because of her, he was kneeling down and begging…"Haha, he can choose not to. I could just add another cut to your face!" Susan said.Gale looked at Shawn and constantly shook her head. "Don't do it. Even if you do it, she won't let me go… You're so smart. How could you not know
Right after that was said, there was silence.Gale widened her eyes suddenly as she looked right at Shawn, who was on the ground.Even though he was kneeling, his back was still straight. His knees were full of dirt.The ground was full of gravel and mud. It should be quite painful.Susan repeated, "Trade you for her? Shawn, you're willing to die with me so Gale can live?""Yes.""You're willing to die?"Shawn answered, "I just need to ensure Gale is alive."Then, it would be fine if he died.She could live in his place.Susan's jealousy peaked. "Do you love her so much that you'd die for her?!"Tears filled Gale's eyes.She constantly shook her head. "Shawn, you don't have to do that for me…""Galey, I wish you a long and healthy life," he said.So, the most touching words of romance were not 'I love you' or 'marry me'. Instead, it's wishing the other one to continue living in this world.A long and healthy life.Even if he had to die.Tears fell across the wound on h
