She wondered if Shawn had felt the same when Shawn witnessed Susan cutting her face.Shawn asked again, "Is this fine? I'm badly injured. I can't fight back. I'll slowly pass out from the blood loss. You can absolutely subdue me. Susan, we should start the exchange."He impatiently walked forward.Susan was still stunned. "Exchange… Wait."Shawn stopped. "I had already done what you asked. What are you still worried about?"At the same time, voices could be heard through the miniature earpiece in his ear."Mr. Wood, the snipers are in position.""The ambush is in position.""We can rush in at any moment."All of those people were waiting for Shawn's orders.They would charge in guns blazing with an order. They would be able to subdue Susan in just a few seconds.Yet, Shawn did not dare to risk it.Gale was in Susan's hands. Using a sniper was far too dangerous. If there were any mistake, it would be irreversible!So, Shawn did not say anything. He did not give a single r
A torrent of blood shot out!Both his and Susan's faces were stained with blood!No one would have expected that Shawn would pull such a move!Susan had forgotten all about the knife that was still on Shawn's arm as well. He had done it on purpose! It meant he had a weapon!However, how dangerous and painful must it have been for him to pull it out?!It was not something an ordinary person would have been able to stand!Right after that, Shawn flicked his hand, and the knife traveled in an arc, landing squarely on Susan's heart.He used the last of his strength to stab Susan's heart!After doing that, Shawn fell on his knees with a thud right in front of Susan. His head was lowered, and he was not moving at all.He had spent all of his strength.Susan was stunned.She looked at the knife in her heart, and her eyes were wide.Everything had happened in just a few seconds. She had no time to react at all!"S…Shawn, you…" She clutched the knife in her hand tightly. "You trick
"Hang in there, Shawn. The ambulance is almost here. Almost… Do it for me, okay? Don't fall asleep. Hang on…" Gale mumbled.She was terrified. Shawn really wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he had no strength left.It would be a miracle if he could keep this arm of his.Gale held him and lowered her head against his cheek, wanting to be close to him."Why were you so stupid? Why? You crippled yourself just because Susan asked!"You even pulled that knife right out. Are you not worried about losing too much blood? Did you not want that arm anymore?""Shawn, you better listen here. If you turn into a cripple, I'll leave you! Do you hear me?!""You have to get better…"Shawn pursed his lips, and his eyes slowly shut again."Galey…" Every word he uttered took a lot of strength. He spoke very slowly, "Live on. Love…"After he said that, Shawn shut his eyes, and his head slumped down."Shawn!" Gale's voice pierced through the night sky.The ambulance came roa
"Hey, hey, I've never seen a girl who didn't care about her face." The nurse pulled at Gale. "Other girls would kick up a fuss over pimples. You have such a big wound on your face. If you don't get stitches quickly, it'll leave a scar!""But I…""Deal with your injury first!"Under the nurse's stubborn insistence, Gale sat in the emergency room while a doctor carefully bandaged her injuries."The one on your neck is fine, but the one on your face…" The doctor had a troubled expression. "If you don't treat it well, it'll leave a scar.""Just deal with it quickly, doctor. I'm in a rush.""What could be more important than your face? Wait, you need stitches."Gale was incredibly anxious. She just wanted to go to the operating theater to wait for news on Shawn.However, the doctor and nurse refused to let her leave.Summer happened to appear at that moment. "Gale! Are you alright? Why is there so much blood?!""I'm fine. How's Shawn?"Summer looked anxious, "Joe said Shawn is st
They were surprised at the lengths Shawn was willing to go to save Gale!Was he not afraid of dying?!Or was he just more afraid of losing Gale?!Summer usually went against Shawn at every turn and would never praise Shawn.Yet, at that moment, her mouth was opened wide. Shawn's courage and love had won her over.Who would be able to reject a man who was willing to sacrifice his own life for a woman?Shawn prioritized Gale's life over his own!Joe clenched his teeth. "Damn it, Susan. I was wondering why that knife on her heart looked so familiar. So it was Shawn's!"That knife had hurt Shawn first before it had a chance to kill Susan!Gale answered, "Where's Susan? Is she still alive?""She didn't die. She's being saved right now too."Summer said, "What? What's the point of trying to save a piece of trash like her?! Even if she died a hundred times, it would not be enough to pay for her sins!"Joe answered, "You don't understand. We would be letting her off easy if we let
Gale did not fight back.She had been the one who caused Shawn to get injured after all. It was her fault."I'm sorry," Gale said."There's no point being sorry! If anything happens to Shawn, I'll, I'll…"Lucas almost fainted from his anger.Paula hurriedly calmed him down. "The Warm family really is the bane of the Wood family. We're just completely incompatible!"Gale merely listened quietly.However, Summer did not agree. She said, "Gale's already blaming herself. What's the point of scolding her? You should be blaming Susan. She's the culprit?!""Where did this uncouth woman come from?!" Paula complained, "How dare you talk to us like this?!""It's my mouth. I can say whatever I want! Susan was the one who kidnapped Gale because she couldn't get Shawn even though she loved Shawn. She even ruined Gale's face! Why did Susan do that?! Wasn't it because she used to be by Shawn's side?!"Gale tugged at Summer. "Summer, that's enough.""Oh, you. You're already injured, and you
The doctor pulled down the mask before saying, "Mr. Wood is still in danger. The wound on his arm was too deep, and repeated usage caused his nerves to get damaged. He lost too much blood as well, so it's very precarious at the moment."Gale knew that the injury would probably not be so severe if Shawn had not pulled the knife out."What can we do?"The doctor said, "The doctors had an internal discussion and figured out a treatment plan. For the moment, Mr. Wood's hand can't be moved around too much."Lucas said, "No matter what, make sure you save Shawn's hand!The master of the Wood family and the president of the Wood group. If his hand was crippled, he would turn into a laughing stock!Furthermore, Shawn was such a proud man. There was no way he would be able to accept the fact that his arm was disabled.The doctor nodded and said, "We'll do our best."The doors opened completely, and the nurses pushed the bed out.Gale could not bring herself to keep looking at Shawn aft
"Oh please."Gale returned to Temperley Hall absolutely exhausted.The housekeeper had kept everything well-managed. It looks incredibly peaceful like nothing had happened."Ma'am, you're back. Please go have some rest," the housekeeper said.Gale nodded.The bathtub was already filled with water. Next to it was a new set of pajamas.The master bedroom was filled with Shawn's scent.Gale lay on the bed and suddenly started to cry uncontrollably.Why did her relationship with Shawn progress in this direction?Hatred, their dead child, putting their lives on the line…There was nothing wrong with loving someone, and hating someone was nothing to be afraid of as well. The worst thing was to love and hate someone at the same time.It was hard even to tell if there was more love or hatred.Gale fell asleep in a daze and started to have nightmares.One moment, she was in the mental hospital. She was ostracized by everyone, and her meal was thrown on the ground. She had been forc
