"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
"Housekeeper?" Paula let out a sigh of relief when she saw who it was. She steeled her face and said, "What are you doing? You didn't even bother to knock!"After all, she was still the mistress of the Wood family. She needed to show her power.The housekeeper said, "My apologies. I was just really concerned for Mr. Wood, so I acted a bit rashly. Please forgive me.""Whatever, you should just go out for now.""I came here to take care of Mr. Wood."When Paula heard that, she immediately said, "Just leave things here to me."The housekeeper walked right over and answered politely, "You're the mistress of the family. How could we have you laboring like that while we rest? Since you have the time, you can just keep Mr. Lucas company."How could Paula be willing to leave? Her face was filled with reluctance.She was a member of the Wood family. Was she just going to lose to a housekeeper?"I don't need you bossing me around. I'll stay in the room. You, go out," Paula said stubborn
He leaned in and listened closer, confirming that Shawn really was calling out for Galey.Lucas asked, "Who's Galey? Could it be Gale?!"The housekeeper nodded and answered, "Yes, while he's been unconscious, the only thing Mr. Wood has said was Galey."So, no one was more appropriate than Gale.Lucas thought about it for a moment. "Fine, have Gale come over!"The housekeeper was elated."However, she is to leave the moment Shawn wakes up," Lucas said.Paula did not seem that happy and viciously glared at the housekeeper. At Temperley Hall, Gale looked at the weather through the window. It had been three days.Why was Shawn still not awake?His injury was on his arm, and he had already got a blood transfusion. He should already be awake.Unfortunately, she could not stay by his side and could only wait anxiously by herself.A car suddenly drove in, and a bodyguard rushed in. "Ma'am."Gale looked at him. "What is it? Is Shawn awake?""You've been allowed to go to the ho
