"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

He might not even find Gale then if he still wanted to. "Lucas was the one who sent her away. Wouldn't it be incredibly easy for Shawn to find out where she is?"Summer sighed.The plane took off and slowly went further away. At a manor in Aneria, Gale stood by the window.It was during the day, and the skies were clear, but she knew that it was nighttime in Sea City.She did not even know where she was. She could not go out anyway. She was confined to the manor.The servants were all foreigners who were very careful. She had nothing to say to them."Is this really escaping? No…I've just jumped from one cage to another," Gale mumbled to herself.She did not want to live her whole life there.She should probably talk to Lucas.Gale turned around and had just walked to the phone when a figure appeared outside the window."Who?" She looked out in alarm but saw no one. Gale was shocked as she stared out the window.She slowly walked over. Just as she was about to lock the

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
