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

At that moment, Shawn was lying down in the hospital as well…"All of you, get out." Gale shut her eyes and regained her composure. "Get out right now! Housekeeper, you stay behind!"Everyone listened to her orders.After being sure that no one else was around, Gale clutched the housekeeper's hands tightly. "You're the only person I can trust right now.""Ma'am, what are your orders? I watched Mr. Wood grow up. I'll always be loyal to him!"Gale lowered her voice. "Do you still remember how Shawn's father died?"She had just said that, but the housekeeper immediately understood what she meant. The housekeeper's expression changed as well!"Someone from Temperley Hall has to be stationed at the hospital! They need to make sure to always be by Shawn's side. The medication he's using and the liquids he's being given all have to be thoroughly checked! We can't let anyone slip through!" Gale said."Housekeeper, I trust that you know this too. Shawn's father's death was definitely no

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
