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
However, Shawn was right beside them, so Aurum and Gale could not say anything!Looking into Gale's eyes, Aurum said, "However, you don't have to worry. It's good that Nicole remembers everything. It means she's not confused in any other way. She's still acting quite normally."Gale was in a panic, not knowing what to ask.What about Joshua?What if Nicole mentioned Joshua in front of Winnie?Was her beloved son that she hid so well going to be exposed?!Gale responded, "T-that's true. She remembers everything except me.""Nicole will remember you, Gale. I'll take my leave now."Aurum shot her a meaningful look before he turned around."I'll send you off. Thank you for coming to visit Nicole." Gale followed him, understanding what he meant.Aurum purposely acted polite. "No need, no need. There's no need for you to do that."Shawn looked at the two of them and pursed his lips.He had just been about to say something when Gale said, "Then I should at least send you to the el
She respected and appreciated Aurum. It was something she would never be able to repay in her lifetime."Galey, how do you know Aurum doesn't like you?""He has a fiance!"Shawn pursed his lips. "Natalie and he haven't gotten married after so many years. Who knows what he's thinking.""They're getting married at the end of the year.""We still don't know if that's actually happening."Gale felt like she could not communicate with Shawn.He was just such a jealous man!She turned around and left. "If you have the time to let your imagination run wild like this, think about how you're going to get Nicole away from Winnie!""The nurse just entered the ward."Gale's footsteps stopped.At the ward, the nurse changed Nicole's liquids. Before too long, Nicole rubbed her eyes. "Mommy, sleepy…""Alright, sleep then. I'll be here."Nicole quickly fell asleep.Winnie had just been about to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature so Nicole would not catch a cold when the
