Gale had a sore nose and felt like crying.She blinked quickly and forced back the tears. "Joshua, you are still young, and the family does not need you to go out to make money.""But I am confident that I can get first place. It's a seven thousand dollar prize. It is enough for our family's living expenses for a year," Joshua replied. The more sensible he was, the more Gale blamed herself.It was because she was incapable that the child knew to help her share the pressure of life at such a young age.Gale touched his head and said, "Joshua, Mommy will work hard and design to make money. The money is enough, so you don't need to worry. The family is not at the point where you need to show your face to make money.""It's just a competition...""Okay, don't touch the wound when you wash your face at night. I have to take Nicole to the hospital tomorrow. You go to school by yourself, don't run around, and don't cause trouble, okay?" Gale said.Joshua's little head nodded. "Okay."

City?Yes, the bigger the city, the higher the level of medical care."I can only tell you the result. If you want medical treatment, you should go to the city, or... Sea City. Sea City is the largest port city, and it is very developed in all aspects. Maybe she can be completely cured there," the doctor suggested.Gale never expected that she would hear the place name 'Sea City' being suggested to treat Nicole's leukemia!She nodded and said, "Okay, okay… Thank you, doctor."Gale stood up and started seeing double. She was shaking and almost lost her footing.She supported the table and forced herself to calm down. "By the way, doctor, how much is the approximate treatment cost?" The doctor said, "A conservative estimate, seven or eight hundred thousand."Seven or eight hundred thousand!Where would Gale get so much money!Aurum bought the apartment.She jumped into the sea and left to come here penniless, earning little by little.Could it be... should she go to find Aurum

"Mommy is worried about you, so I will take you to a big hospital in the city for a physical examination."Nicole shook her head immediately after hearing this. "No need, Mommy. I'm really better, don't worry about it. No more wasting money. I go to school tomorrow. I want to go to school. I miss my teachers and classmates!""Mommy has money, don't worry. Your body is more important."Nicole said, "Is it because of the doctor? He said... I have leukemia?"Gale's heart twitches violently."No, why would Nicole get this disease. Just listen to Mommy. I'll send you to kindergarten when you come back from the city, okay?" Gale said.Nicole nodded."Hey, I have to finish this bowl of soup.""You eat it too, Mommy. You've lost weight," Nicole said."Okay, I'll eat with you."Nicole turned his head. "Mrs. Zoe, you come too!"Zoe was hiding beside her and quietly wiping away her tears when she heard Nicole calling her. She quickly collected her emotions and replied with a smile, "Ok

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Aurum felt that he had not actually done anything for Gale.Four years.Gale had very, very little contact with Aurum, and it was all through Zoe.Every time he asked her if there was anything he could do to help or if she was missing anything, or if there was anything she needed him… Gale would answer in a relaxed tone, that everything was fine.She always rejected him."Aurum, you have helped me enough… How can I ask for more?"Aurum asked, "Then what about Nicole? This is not a trivial matter. Can't delay this!""I..."Aurum was still very firm in his decision. "Okay, it's settled. Take Nicole to check first. Tell me immediately if there is any trouble in the future, and I'll help you find a solution."He knew that Gale had a strong self-esteem, so she must be feeling very uncomfortable now, and Nicole's condition was so serious. He was afraid that she would have a nervous breakdown.So, Aurum said, "Just treat it as a loa

However, no one would say anything."Eat it yourself." Shawn turned on his toes and changed his pace."Ah? Mr. Wood, where are you going? I've worked so hard for a long time...""Don't follow!"Winnie abruptly stopped.She planned to use kindness to slowly grab Shawn's heart.It started with cooking, then ironing, tidying the room, and so on.Step by step, she could gradually infiltrate his life!Unexpectedly, Shawn still ignored her!Looking at Shawn's back, Winnie was furious. "Where is he going? When he got home, he didn't even enter the door!""The mountain," the housekeeper replied.Winnie asked, "What? What is he doing on the mountain? Is there any treasure hidden there? He doesn't even need to eat!""Mr. Wood's treasure is indeed in the back mountain."Winnie said, "Then I'll go and have a look." The bodyguard immediately stopped her. "Mr. Wood just said you can't follow.""I'll just take a look. I won't go up the mountain!" Winnie said."The back mountain is excl

That was Shawn's holy land.Gale's tombstone was very clean and tidy, without a trace of dust, and the freshest and most delicate flowers were always placed there by Shawn himself.When spring came, wildflowers would bloom all over the mountain.One after another, small flowers swayed gently when the wind blew.It was like being in nature.In summer, the back mountain was green and shaded by trees, and there would be the chirping of summer cicadas and frogs.Shawn also planted a maple forest.Every fall, it would turn red in a large area, which was very beautiful.He worked hard to make the back mountain have unique scenery in the four seasons.Everyone in Temperley Hall knew that the most important thing in Shawn's heart was his wife, so they dared not take things lightly in that area."Gale, I know a woman whose design style is similar to yours. Her name is Molly.""I am on a business trip this time to meet her.""If you are still alive, you will want to meet such a perso

A qualified heir cannot have too many emotions. Only the ability to manage the company is enough!Too much family involvement would only hinder him! Thinking of this, Shawn shook his head deeply.He wiped the photo on the tombstone again. "Gale, don't worry. I will do what I promised you. In this life... I will never touch another woman."He would not meet other women.Just thinking about it, Shawn would feel conflicted in his heart.Shawn left when it was dark, and the wind on the mountain turned cold.He coughed again."Mr. Wood, do you want to call the family doctor? You seem to have caught a cold," said the housekeeper."Yes.""Okay, I'll call him right away."Winnie saw it and immediately followed suit. "Mr. Wood, do you have a cold? I'll pour you a cupof hot water!" She was very attentive. "Drinking more hot water can make your cold better. Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long."Shawn stared at the cup and took a sip.He said lightly, "I went

No one would bury his dead wife at home!"So... So, Mr. Wood, after you came back, did you go to the back mountain to accompany Gale?""Yes."Winnie swallowed."Mr. Wood... aren't you afraid?" Winnie rubbed her arms and said, "It's better not to say these things at night. It's scary. "Shawn said, "Scary? If there are ghosts in the world, then I hope she can come to Temperley Hall, see me, appear in front of me, and let me meet her."He was not afraid.That was his favorite woman. He was not afraid of people or ghosts. He would open his arms and hug her!It was a pity that Shawn had never even dreamed of her."If she appeared, just take me away..."Shawn raised his head, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.His throat hurt as he coughed again. After staying in the back mountain all afternoon, his body was exhausted.However, he could not sleep.Gale was all on his mind. It was Jasmine, the woman who had glimpsed in the hospital! The family doctor came and presc

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
