She bit her lower lip, feeling cold and weak.A normal person can only donate 400 milliliters at most, but she, a pregnant woman, was drawn 600 milliliters at one time.Susan had... a good strategy!She was afraid it would not be just this time, and there would be more to come! They would not stop until her body was weak and could not keep the child!There were footsteps coming from the door, and Shawn walked in. "Are you done?""Yes, I'll take it to the emergency room right away," the nurse replied respectfully.Shawn waved his hand.He stood in front of Gale and said, "Dean has a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because of you, so it is only natural for you to donate blood.""Do you know how many milliliters of blood was drawn from me?"Shawn said indifferently, "They can take as much as you need to."He could not care less. After all, saving a life was paramount.Gale smiled weakly. "Ha... After all, the dean is your future father-in-law. In your heart, his life is more importa

When she opened her eyes, she heard Susan say, "Finally awake? Your physical fitness is pretty good. It seems that you can draw more blood.""You still want more!""Oh, you have to be responsible for causing my dad's brain hemorrhage. It's your job to draw blood, and Mr. Wood agrees."Gale struggled to sit up. "You and the dean put on this good show together!""That's right, who made you this stupid, and who asked you to conceive a child?" Susan walked to the hospital bed. "Gale, I can let you go if you just get rid of it."She gritted her teeth. "Impossible."It was her own flesh and blood, and she wanted it."Then we will continue to draw your blood and see how you can protect yourself and the child!""Susan, you want me to kill the child so much because of the child's father, right?" Gale guessed.Susan's face changed, but she quickly denied, "It's not!" "I got it right.""Hehe, don't be delusional." Susan said deliberately, "The father of this villain is just an ugly a

Shawn's face turned dark. "You dare to talk to me like this?"What he did was for her own good!This soup contained harmful medicine! Instead, Gale regarded his kindness as nothing but trash!"Have you been nice to me?" Gale said, "You only made me suffer humiliation in different ways!"Shawn took the thermos flask away and threw it on the ground.The soup splashed everywhere.The loud voice alarmed the butler, and he hurried to the kitchen. Seeing this, he was at a loss for words. "Mr. Wood...""Go away!""Yes...""Tell Paula not to send any more soup from tomorrow onward! No one drinks it!"The housekeeper replied, "Okay, okay."Strangely, he asked Mr. Wood if he wanted to refuse the soup, and Mr. Wood said he wanted to keep it.Why did he suddenly change his mind today?Gale bit her lower lip so as not to let the tears fall.Shawn abused her, bullied her, asked her to atone for her sins, supported Susan, held her to draw blood to save Dean…She really hated him."

"Well, why are you here?" Shawn replied deeply.He held Gale in his arms and pulled the quilt again. "She is still asleep, grandpa.""Understand." Lucas nodded and said, "You must have tired her out. It doesn't matter, let her sleep a little longer."Gale opened her eyes and saw Shawn's chest so close to her. She was stunned for a few seconds."What...""It's nothing. Don't worry about it, go to sleep," he said softly."Okay, I'm just passing by and decided to take a look. I will get going now."Gale blinked, looked at the door again, and then realized. "Uh, grandpa, you are here.""It's okay, it's okay, just pretend I was never here." Lucas turned around and added, "Shawn, keep going."Gale was in a fog, and it took a long time to recover.Lucas was here to inspect and check on them."Stupid woman, be smarter next time," Shawn pushed her away. "If you let Grandpa notice something wrong, you will know the consequences."He rolled over and got out of bed. He picked up his sh

She had not heard from her mother since Shawn took her from the hospital.The housekeeper said cheerily, "Madam, it's good news. The hospital called to say that Mrs. Warm is awake!"Gale could not believe her ears.Her mother woke up?She...was awakened from her vegetative state!What a miracle!Gale finally got some good news.No matter how aggrieved she had felt for the past few weeks, she could not help but let down her guard and cry. She felt so relieved that she cried and laughed at the same time. "It's good, it's good, my mother is finally awake..."Tears of excitement rolled down her face.Gale turned around and said, "Shawn, can I visit my mother?"Afraid that he would disagree, she quickly assured him, "I just want to see her, nothing else! She must miss me too.""Sure."Her eyes lit up. "Really?"However, there was a tugging feeling in his heart that something was wrong. Shawn would never be so kind.He must have conditions.Is it...Shawn replied, "You can go

After arriving at the hospital and drawing blood, Gale sneaked to the obstetrics and gynecology department, claiming that she needed to go to the bathroom.She asked the doctor for a bunch of abortion prevention pills and stuffed them into her bag.She worked very hard to ensure that she and her child could live.Gale met Susan in the elevator as she was leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department.S he asked proudly, "Have you finished drawing blood? You can still stand so energetically, it seems... you can continue tomorrow.""Don't even think about it."After having the chance to see her mother, she tried to fight back.She refused to let Susan and Dean continue to take her blood. Otherwise, the child really could not be saved!Susan said confidently, "Then let's wait and see tomorrow."Gale smiled and replied, "Okay, see you tomorrow."She got out of the elevator, and the driver and bodyguard next to her also walked out, making her look important.Susan asked, "Wher

She had no idea what was going on, but she could guess.Gale smiled and said, "No, Mom, I'm fine. I'm doing fine. Don't worry.""Don't lie to me. You look thin and haggard..."Gale replied, "Really, if I don't have a good life, where would I be able to pay for such a good hospital?"Wendy touched her hair and said, "The Wood family didn't give you a hard time, did they? How did you finish your studies?"Gale said, "I did... and Sam. He is my boyfriend and treats me very well. He pays all your expenses in the hospital. Over the years, he's been taking care of me."Wendy breathed a long sigh of relief. "Okay, that's fine. I could tell then that Sam was a good boy and would treat you well.""Yes.""I didn't expect that two years had passed. I've slept long enough. What about your dad? Where is he? Is he okay?""Dad is serving his sentence in prison. Don't worry. I will visit him often."Wendy nodded and said, "When I can get out of bed. I will pay him a visit, even if I'm in a w

Gale was close to biting her lower lip till it bled. "Got it.""Get out."She turned and walked out.Shawn always had a sadistic way of giving her hope before driving her deeper into the hell of despair.She lied to her mother that she was living well, had Sam to accompany her, and had a high-paying job. She weaved a beautiful lie.Her mother just woke up and was still in recovery. Once she knew her true condition, Gale feared she would be heartbroken.Shawn had his hands on all of her weaknesses.Back at the workstation, Gale looked at the design draft, and her mind was blank.She designed all kinds of jewelry styles for Lovito, from necklaces to rings to bracelets. She never lacked inspiration.Only Susan's wedding ring…"Why are you in a daze?" Summer patted her shoulder and asked, "Design block?"Looking at the canvas on her desk, Summer frowned. "What the hell is this? It's old-fashioned and vulgar and completely lacks sophistication. It's like a nouveau riche ring. Gal

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
