"You still dare to talk to Gale like that, you are looking for death! Do you think you can sit back and relax because Nicole recognizes you as your mother?""I'll deal with you directly, and then I'll find a way to save Nicole!"Shawn's words had caused Winnie to panic.Shawn could do such a cruel and merciless thing!If she really died like this, it would not be worth it!"Mr. Wood, don't, don't kill me… I…I can take care of Nicole, she...she'll go crazy if she doesn't see me, and you...you don't want her to be...a...a lunatic..."Shawn asked deeply, "Speak! What method did you use? Let her only recognize you!""I...I won't say... Anyway, if I die, Nicole will feel that she lost her Mommy, she will go crazy and collapse... Cough cough cough..."Gale could not listen anymore.She knew what Shawn wanted to do.Let Winnie and Nicole never see each other again, and then find a way to correct Nicole's cognitive confusion!This was also possible!Instead of letting Nicole keep m

She returned to the ward and slammed the door behind her.Gale was isolated.She lived every day in that ward. At this moment, the door was closed to her.She had no identity and no reason to go in and accompany Nicole.How ridiculous and absurd…Why did everything become like this?Gale said softly, "I know what Winnie wants. She wants to be Mrs. Wood, she wants status and money, and she wants you. Shawn, you can give it to her. I don't want it. I just want Nicole back."Shawn hugged her deeply. "Let's go home first."Her eyes were dull. "Home? I have no home.""Gale, you still have me, I'm always here, I... will always remember you."She raised her head and looked at him."If one day… You forget me too, just like Nicole. Then..."What should she do?Would she just lose everything?No! There was someone else.She still has Joshua!Joshua Warm!At this moment, Gale felt extremely fortunate that she protected Joshua very well and hid him tightly.Otherwise, Joshua will

Thankfully, everything was going to end soon! Shawn said, "Galey, go rest for now. You've been busy the whole day. Your body won't be able to take it.""How could I fall asleep?"The moment she shut her eyes, the image of Nicole in Winnie's arms appeared.Nicole looked at her like a stranger.Nicole calling her a bad lady echoed in Gale's ears.Shawn said, "I know what you're thinking about. We'll definitely find a way. Nicole will wake up. She just temporarily lost herself."Gale looked down.She was just too sad. If she was alone, she did not even know what she would do.So, she returned to Temperley Hall.Gale said, "You keep on saying there will be a way, so I'll believe you. Shawn, if Nicole keeps on calling Winnie her mother, you're responsible too!"Shawn was the one who had brought Winnie over, planting the seeds for everything that happened!He was the one who had failed to deal with Winnie properly!Shawn looked at her resolutely. "Galey, I'll definitely make su

After a few seconds of silence, Gale said, "But, this will be destroyed tomorrow.""Yes, because you're back.""But…" Gale turned around and looked at him. "I'm back. I'm still alive. It still doesn't mean that I'll stay by your side and listen to you talk about your day."Shawn pursed his lips.A sliver of pain surfaced from his heart, slowly creeping across his whole body.He understood what she meant.She would go. She should leave.Everything he had would still just be that grave!Gale said, "Don't get rid of it. Shawn, just act like I'm actually dead like I won't appear anymore."That way, when he was frustrated, he could still stand there.It would be a way to remember her."I know you'll leave." Shawn's voice was quite calm, but one could hear that it was trembling upon closer inspection. "But Galey, since you're alive, we have to get rid of it.""Why?""It's unlucky. I'll say it again. I want you to be safe and happy, to live a long life," Shawn answered.How coul

Winnie rushed over from the kitchen in a hurry. "I'm coming, I'm coming. Wow, Gale, you're quite early.""Mommy, why is she here again?"Winnie answered, "She's just bored. It's fine, just ignore her. Act like she isn't there!"Nicole nodded, pulling at Winnie's shirt as Nicole hid behind Winnie.No matter how sad Gale felt, Gale still needed to force a smile on her face.Shawn had asked her not to come, worried that she would feel sad. However, not seeing Nicole made Gale suffer even more!Gale put the lunchbox on the table. "I made breakfast. I came to send it over. It's still warm. Nicole can have some."Winnie scoffed. "Take it away.""I made it for Nicole."Winnie said, "I know. Didn't you hear that I asked you to take it away? Who knows what sort of nasty things you put in there. What if Nicole gets sick after eating it? What if she eats something bad for her?"Gale held back her anger. "Do you think I'd harm Nicole?""Who knows? Just go away. Nicole won't eat anything

As she disappeared from his sight, Shawn's smile disappeared. He became much more serious.He was just about to enter the ward when he saw Aurum from the corner of his eyes.Shawn seemed to recall something as he stopped and turned to walk to Aurum.Aurum had a basket of fruits and a doll with him. "Mr. Wood, I came to see Nicole and brought some gifts."Aurum merely looked at him seriously and asked, "What relationship do you have with Winnie Nightingale?"Aurum was confused when he heard that. "What are you talking about?"Winnie and himself?They were completely unrelated people!"A few days ago, Winnie crazily ran all over Sea City to spread that Galey was still alive and that Galey had faked her death. Everyone knows about it. You should know about it as well," Shawn said."Yes, I've heard of it.""Winnie escaped from my hands. At the time, I had my subordinates look for her across the whole city. However, the last time she appeared was near your residence. After that, s

Aurum had no reason to hurt Nicole. Then, who was it?!Gale walked out of the doctor's office and was a little surprised when she saw Aurum. "Mr. Lefting…""Yes, I came to see Nicole." He waved the things in his hand."Nicole is…" Gale did not know how to explain things."Mr. Wood already told me about it. Gale, don't be sad. Nicole will definitely wake up from the trance," Aurum answered.She pursed her lips and forced herself to nod."I'll go inside and see Nicole. Do you want to come with me?" Aurum said."Nicole doesn't want to see me. I'll wait outside," Gale said.Aurum had a look of heartache on his face.It happened to be caught by Shawn.Shawn pursed his lips as he unconsciously stood by Gale's side, showing off his position.Feeling hurt for another was the greatest form of love.That kind of emotion should not appear on Aurum's face. Aurum walked into the ward. Through the crack in the door, Gale looked on as Nicole ate her breakfast. Winnie was by her side,

While she was gone, Aurum bent down and whispered to Nicole, "You miss Joshua, right?"Nicole nodded, and her eyes lit up eagerly. "Uncle Lefting, you know what I'm thinking!""Actually, Joshua should have gone back after that weekend at the theme park.""Oh? Is Joshua back home?"Aurum whispered, "Nicole, let me finish. I made the decision myself to let Joshua stay with me. He's at my house right now, and I helped him find a kindergarten to attend.""However, your mother doesn't know about this at all. Joshua and I didn't tell her, because she would make Joshua go back if she found out. Then, it would be very hard for you to see Joshua. So, Nicole, you can't tell your mother at all, alright? It's a secret between you, me and Joshua, we can't let anyone else know!"Nicole understood what he meant and immediately said, "Okay!"Aurum hurriedly put a finger on her lips. "Shush, you have to be quiet.""Shush…"Nicole mimicked him as she snuck a glance at the kitchen.Winnie was b

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
