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
"Hurry, Mr. Wood is awake.""Check his vitals.""Shawn, you're finally awake. I was so worried!"A lot of voices were around him, and it was very loud.Yet, the voice Shawn wanted to hear remained silent.Where was the person who kept on saying she was here?'I'm here.''I'm here.'Where did that person go?Shawn looked up slightly, looking at the people around the bed.His grandfather, Paula, the housekeeper, and the doctors and nurses. Yet, Gale was nowhere to be seen.Where was she?Shawn looked at all of them, and he was deeply disappointed.Was it all a dream? Did he imagine it?Was Gale not there at all?Shawn slowly shut his eyes as he frowned. "Galey…"At that moment, Gale had been pushed outside.The bed was completely surrounded. She could not see Shawn and could not hear Shawn's soft voice.He woke up.Then, she was not needed anymore.Lucas would probably lock her back in Temperley Hall.Gale looked at their backs slightly.She had wished that she woul
Gale glanced at Lucas before she walked forward.Shawn was clever. He had obviously noticed that look.He looked at Lucas as well. "Grandpa, how long have I been unconscious?""It's been three or four days.""Then, what did you do to Gale during this time?"Lucas was taken aback. "Shawn, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning me?""You just need to answer me truthfully."Lucas said, "Haha! I had Gale stay at Temperley Hall quietly. I didn't allow her to get close to you! Is that wrong?"Shawn pursed his lips and said, "That's probably not all."Earlier, he had asked Gale to come, but she shot Lucas a look before that.It was clear that Lucas had threatened her.He felt a flash of annoyance. He should have told Joe not to let Gale meet with the Wood family before that. It would have stopped her from being troubled.It was already too late. It had already happened.Lucas said angrily, "You've really been seduced by Gale! She's a fox!"Seeing that, the housekeeper hur
"He must have been quite harsh with his words. Did you feel wronged?"Gale's nose started to twitch.Shawn was a man that she hated to the bone when he was cruel.Yet, when he was nice, he was so gentle and attentive.A man's warmth was like a knife. It was incredibly deadly, and once struck, it was impossible to pull it out.It was true when Lucas had slapped her, she felt wronged. When he pointed at her and scolded her, she felt wronged as well.Yet, during that time, she did not think too much about it. The moment Shawn asked, her feelings seemed to surface."Tell me. Let me handle it," Shawn said slowly.Gale did not make a sound."Do you think that I can't solve it?"Gale nodded and said, "Yes. My conflict with the Wood family is impossible to solve just like that."Shawn's expression slowly sank.He knew what she meant.The grudges between the Warm family and the Wood family were very obvious.Gale lowered her head. "He said that I was a star of misfortune, that I w
