Gale felt like what she said sounded quite familiar.Thinking about it, she suddenly smiled.What she said to Joshua earlier was very much like what Shawn had said to her.Shawn always told her to leave everything to him, that she did not need to do anything. She just needed to focus on living a carefree life.Yet, Gale always asked him what she could help with and what she could do.Shawn wanted her to live without worry.She wanted to do whatever she could.Suddenly, Gale felt the love in Shawn's statements.He loved her.It was like how she loved Joshua. He was her son, and she showed her love by wanting Joshua to live a peaceful and happy life. All the darkness and all the filth needed to stay as far away from him as possible.So, Shawn had always been loving her as well.Loving someone meant wanting to protect them.In the same vein, loving someone also meant wanting to share the burdens of the other party.Love was mutual.It was not one-sided.She shook the jar in
Shawn raised an eyebrow. "With her abilities? She's not capable of fooling me.""Mr. Wood, where did these herbs come from? Did she buy them?""Aurum gave them."Fiona was stunned. "Mr. Lefting?"That was what Shawn had been confused about as well.Aurum had helped Gale wholeheartedly. Aurum had even dared to help Gale fake her death. Gale trusted Aurum quite a lot as well. He had no reason to harm Nicole.If Aurum really wanted to harm Nicole, he would not use the Lefting family name to send the herbs over!It was just too stupid!Yet, who would it be if it was not Aurum?Who switched out Aurum's gift?Fiona thought about it. "Based on what I know, Mr. Lefting is usually quite busy with work. Ms. Yarn is usually the one who deals with all the household affairs."Shawn bit out every word. "Natalie Yarn?"The name triggered some of his memories.Before Gale jumped into the sea, she had been meeting Aurum very frequently. The two of them constantly discussed things, and Nata
So, Shawn was just putting on an act!Winnie thought that she had poisoned and controlled Shawn.In truth, Shawn was very aware. He was slowly trying to turn the tables! He was trying to save Nicole!At that moment, it seemed to be the only plan that could work.It was just that it hurt Gale.Fiona slowly shut the door to the study.Fiona hoped that Shawn and Gale would be able to get past this and properly live together!Shawn shut his eyes as he leaned back.He forgot about Natalie.Thinking about it at that moment, Natalie was just too suspicious!Winnie had disappeared near Aurum's home. Natalie probably hid Winnie!The poison should be from Natlaie as well!Why was she helping Winnie like that?Shawn rubbed his temples. Things were developing too far out of his expectations!However, he needed to cure the poison in Nicole's body no matter what. He needed to protect Gale as well.Those two were his whole world. No harm could come to them!…The next day, Shawn wa
That was a lot of chemistry!They really were husband and wife.Shawn was a bit proud. Gale was getting smarter.Not bad."Yes, Winnie and she have always been best friends! I suspect that Natalie is the one helping Winnie do this to Nicole. The two of them need to be investigated!" Gale said.Shawn was still very calm. He put the cup down and said, "Who made this tea?"The maid immediately walked forward. "Mr. Wood, I'll get you a new cup.""Shawn!" Gale could not stand it anymore. "I'm talking to you. Are you even listening to me?!"How could he ignore her like that?Gale felt like she was already spoiled by Shawn.The way he treated her had always been special.His warmth, gentleness, and sweetness were only shown to her. He said that she was the only one, so she naturally felt like she really was completely unique in his eyes.She had already gotten used to Shawn's love.Since she was loved, she always did as she pleased in front of her, and he would accept everythin
"Fight? We are her parents, and all have her custody and guardianship rights. These days, Winnie has been taking care of her in every possible way. It seems good to keep it like this."Gale suspected that she had heard wrong.She even wondered if the man in front of her was Shawn!Since the fever, Shawn has become weird, but she can somewhat accept it.Originally, she thought that he would slowly return to normal when he recovered from the fever, but unexpectedly… he became more and more strange and worse! It was like he was a different person!"Winnie is taking good care of her? Shawn, you want Nicole to call Winnie her mommy all the time. Don't you plan to help Nicole!?"Shawn pursed his lips slightly. "Of course, Nicole must wake up. But even if she is sober, she can still call Winnie her mommy."After pausing for a few seconds, he added, "The stepmother is also a mother."Gale's body shook violently, and she almost could not stand still.Stepmother… is also a mother?Shaw
"What now? I trusted you, and I handed my life over to you. Is this how you repay my trust?""You bastard!"If the quarrel continued, she would be pissed to death.When he was about to turn around and leave, Gale added, "The high fever that night, why didn't it burn your brains?"He was getting more outrageous every time!Bad attitude every time!Just as Gale took two steps, she heard the phone ring.She thought it was her phone, but picked it up to see it was not.At the same time, Shawn's magnetic male voice came from behind. "Hello, Winnie.""Mr. Wood, come to the hospital quickly. Nicole..."The voice sounded fast and urgent, and Gale only heard the first half of the sentence.Her footsteps stopped immediately.What happened to Nicole?Gale suddenly turned around and looked at Shawn."Okay, I get it. I'll be right over. Don't panic, don't be afraid, it's fine," Shawn replied.Gale was no stranger to the comfort and tenderness in his tone.It was just that she did no
In Nicole's eyes, she was a vixen.Shawn let out a grunt.He deliberately did not close the door tightly, leaving a gap."Mr. Wood..." Seeing him, Winnie immediately turned into a delicate little woman. "You are here, I…I don't know what to do... If I don't take care of her, what do others think of me..."Instead, she assumed the role of stepmother herself."Why is Nicole crying all of a sudden?""I don't know either. After waking up, she has been crying. I tried to calm her, but nothing worked."Outside the door, Gale quietly watched the situation inside through the glass on the door frame.Seeing Nicole's face full of tears, her heart tugged.It was a pity, but she could not go in or do anything and could only watch helplessly here.Her daughter…Nicole was crying so hard.Shawn sat beside the hospital bed with a tissue and gently wiped her tears. "Nicole, tell Daddy why you want to leave the hospital suddenly. The doctor said you would be discharged, but your discharge d
Share a bed with Winnie?Then he absolutely could not do it!Nicole said again, "Daddy, you can't watch over me every night... So, we'd better leave the hospital. I'm really fine. My illness is cured!"After weighing the pros and cons, Shawn thought about it carefully and agreed, "Okay."It was because it was impossible for him to sleep on the same bed as Winnie, not even for acting!Moreover, it was not Nicole who insisted on leaving the hospital. It was Winnie who pretended to be a devil on purpose to scare her!If Shawn did not agree to let Nicole be discharged from the hospital, he was afraid Winnie would do something worse in the future!Nicole was still young, and she could not stand being frightened again and again.Shawn also guessed Winnie's intention.She did not want to stay in the hospital to care for Nicole. It was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and troublesome. She wanted to live in Temperley Hall, and she wanted to live a life as a mistress!How could she be
