"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
Similarly, she could not forget how brave Shawn looked when he saved her.Shawn said, "I won't let you go."No one can stop him.He would kill everything in his path.All he wanted was her."Galey, you have feelings for me. When Susan held you hostage, you didn't want me to kneel down, and you didn't want me to cripple myself. At that moment, you were just thinking about me. Those feelings were real. I'll remember them forever," Shawn emphasized.The fact that she had opposed it and was thinking about him reaffirmed Shawn's decision to save her at any cost.Gale shook her head and said, "No, I just didn't want to owe you anything!"How could she possibly repay him for saving her life?!Shawn sighed. "Susan kidnapped you because of me. In the end, I owed you. I was the one who didn't protect you."Gale wanted to say something, but he lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the lips.She was stunned.Why did he suddenly steal a kiss like that?"I have no way of shutting y
He failed to stop her.Shawn called out, "Galey, come back."Gale did not turn back."Gale!"She quickened her pace instead, walking out of the room.Shawn lay on the bed and cursed under his breath. "Damn!"He was too weak. He could not get off the bed at all. Otherwise, he would not have let her leave!Looking at his left hand that could not move, Shawn had a look of frustration on his face.The moment Gale left, the housekeeper entered, "Mr. Wood.""Have Joe find the most effective scar treatment ointment in the world," Shawn ordered."Yes.""Also, have Fiona come over. I should deal with all the things that have been piling up at the company."The housekeeper was surprised. "Mr. Wood, you just woke up…""Just do as I say!"In front of outsiders, Shawn was always so cold. He never had any trace of warmth.Only Gale got to see what he was like in private.Shawn suddenly remembered something. "Right. What happened to Susan?""She was sent back to the mental hospital,
He could not allow another kidnapping to happen!At the entrance of the hospital, Gale had just opened the door when a black Mercedes drove up to her."Ma'am, please get in. We'll send you back to Temperley Hall," a bodyguard said politely.Lucas really was on guard against her. He did not give her any freedom at all.Gale nodded and was about to get in the car when she heard Summer's voice. "Gale!"The guards immediately held her back."What are you doing?" Summer pushed back. "Who are you?"Gale reached out and pulled Summer into the car. "Let's go. Ignore it.""Did Shawn send so many people to keep an eye on you?""They're not his. It's Lucas."Summer clicked her tongue. "There are so many schemes among the rich!""Why are you at the hospital?" Gale asked, "Were you looking for me?""Of course. Could I be looking for Shawn? Even though he saved you, what he did to you before this is still unforgivable."Gale fell silent."Gale, are you having a change of heart?" Summer
