He knew that his marriage with Gale would only face even more opposition from the Wood family if he gave in to his grandfather!So, he could not retreat. He had to win!Looking at the night sky out the window, Shawn thought about a perfect and happy marriage. He felt that a family blessing was needed for it.Yes, he would get it for Gale.The day would come.At eight the next day, gentle footsteps could be heard outside the ward, just like what Shawn wanted.Gale was there.He could immediately tell that it was her from the footsteps.However, Gale stood at the door, hesitating for a long time before she opened it.She had just woken up when she was sent here by the driver. No one told her anything the whole way.She did not know what had happened at all.However, Gale could guess that there had to have been some conflict between Shawn and Lucas.One would not let her get close to Shawn.The other insisted on seeing her."Come in. What are you waiting for outside?" Shawn'
"Also, Shawn, why would I give you a child?""Have you ever treasured me? Do you know what love is? I still remember how much you've hurt me and humiliated me!""My mother's still unconscious. The doctor said that the medicine had been given to her a month late. If it had been earlier, she would not be like this right now. She could wake up at any moment!""Do you still remember that bracelet? I couldn't get it fixed, so it's become a pendant. I placed it around my mother's neck. Back then, you could have just given it back to me, but you insisted on breaking it!"There was too much pain. She could not even finish.Gale said everything that came to her mind, and her eyes started to redden.Shawn raised his hand to wipe away the tears, but she avoided it."I feel like your grandfather is right. The two of us are incompatible. One of us has to die for the other to live. There's no future for us."Gale turned around to leave after that."Gale!""Come back!"However, she walked
Gale thought about it and shook her head. "No, I can't leave right now.""Are you regretting it? Do you have your eyes on the Wood family's riches?" Lucas looked at her. "Gale, stop dreaming. As long as I'm alive, I won't let you get what you want!"She said firmly, "I will leave, but not right now!"Her mother was still unconscious, and Shawn's arm was still recovering. She could not just throw everything aside and leave.Her heart would still be here even if she left. What was the point of that?If Gale left, she had to leave and never come back."Haha, I knew you'd regret it! Gale, I can't let you have what you want. The Wood family can't allow you to stay!" Lucas said."So you used Susan as bait to get me to come here.""I won't let that despicable woman off easily. She'll be miserable for the rest of her life. Compared to her, I'm being very nice to you, Gale!"Gale took a step back. "I said it very clearly. I have to make sure everything is properly handled before I leav
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Shawn was on the bed, and he held a document in hand but had not flipped a single page for a long time.Fiona stood by the side, not daring to make a single sound.In his many years of experience by Shawn's side, Shawn's mood was incredibly… bad.It was horrible!Shawn might be looking at the document, but he could not read a single word."Mr. Wood, why don't… Why don't we stop here for today? Let's deal with things tomorrow?" Fiona tried asking.Shawn heavily slammed the document on the table."M…Mr. Wood…""Out.""Yes!"Shawn rubbed his temples, ordering after a while, "Come back!"Fiona turned around. "Mr. Wood, what are your orders?"Shawn fell silent."Actually, if you miss Mrs. Wood, you could give her a call. Even though you can't see her, you might be able to relieve your thoughts just by hearing her or looking at her through a video call," Fiona suggestedShawn coldly looked at him. "Did I ask you to speak?"Fiona lowered her head.O
"Mobilize everyone. Find Gale!"Joe was immediately wide awake. "What? Gale is missing?""Yes.""How did she go missing again?"Shawn did not answer the question as he hung up the phone immediately. After that, he went right to the three bodyguards he had sent to protect Gale in secret.The imperious aura coming out of his body made everyone tremble."I asked you to protect her. Where is she?! Is this how you complete your job?!" Shawn said fiercely."M…Mr. Wood, we were following orders. We followed her the whole time. She came to the hospital today and went in the car to go back to Temperley Hall after that…""Then? You didn't follow her?""We were noticed by your grandfather's men. They said that they would be responsible for sending her back to Temperley Hall. They told us not to worry since we were on the same team… Ah!" the guard said.Right after he said that, Shawn kicked him!Trash! A useless piece of trash!It meant that the bodyguards let their guard down after G
So, if Aurum would help him, they would have a bigger chance of finding her. "Okay. I'm doing this to make sure she's safe and not to help you," Aurum answered.Shawn had already gone right into the back of the Rells Reyce.Aurum looked over to the assistant next to him. "Use all our connections to look into where Gale is. Be discreet. Tell me if you find anything.""Yes, Mr. Lefting."The Rells Reyce was on the road, and Shawn constantly urged, "Drive faster.""Mr. Wood, it's already very…""Faster!"The journey to the Wood Mansion usually took up half an hour, but it had been cut short to fifteen minutes.When Lucas saw him, he jumped up in fright. "Shawn, why are you running around? Do you not want your left arm anymore?"Shawn went straight to the point and said, "Where is Gale?""What are you…""Where is she?!" Shawn raised his voice even higher. "Speak!"At that moment, he was like a lion that had lost its mind.He was angry, frustrated, worried, and unsettled. H
Why was Shawn the culprit?"Also, Grandpa, I've told you repeatedly that I can't live without Gale, but you keep trying to break the two of us up! Have you thought about my feelings?!"It took a moment for Lucas to snap back to reality."Even… if the child was not Gale's fault, her father still killed yours. This is a blood grudge that can never go away! How could the two of you be together?"This is between the two of us. You don't have to worry about that. As for my hand, I crippled myself for her. It has nothing to do with her. She tried her best to stop me back then too."Lucas looked at his left hand.The doctor said that Shawn could not move his hand for at least a month, but Shawn was standing right in front of him.That was how important Gale was!"Very well, Shawn. Let me ask you right now. It's me or Gale. You can only choose one. If you choose me, you can't have her. If you choose her, you can't have me. Who will you choose?!" Lucas said.That question was incredibl
Very well, he would look for her overseas! He would go there himself!Shawn left in a huff. His shoes clacked on the floor as he slowly disappeared.Lucas sat on the sofa, looking old and alone.Paula quietly went back to her room. She locked the door and called an overseas number."Hey, Mom. What is it?" The sound of loud club music could be heard on the other end."Are you playing outside again?""I'm drinking with a few friends."Paula said excitedly, "Let me tell you some good news. Shawn had a really big fight with Lucas! You should hurry back after your graduation. Make sure you do well in front of your grandpa. Do you hear me?!""Okay, Mom.""This is an incredibly rare chance for you, and you better seize it! Our chances of turning the tables and becoming the hamsters of the family hinges on this!"Paula's own child was where she had put all her hopes on!Paula had been trying to figure out ways to deal with Shawn, but she never expected that Gale would be able to c
