Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 98
"Gale, if you defend Sam like this, it will only make him die faster!"She explained, "I said it all. I am the one who looked for him. My mother... needs his help. "Shawn grabbed her shoulders deeply, lifted her up, and pulled her directly in front of him. "Would you rather go behind my back and beg him, rather than come beg me?""Shawn..." Gale looked at him and asked, "What more do you want from me?" How humble should she be?She had knelt, said please, obeyed him, tried being well-behaved, endured and bore humiliation...Everything that could be done, Gale had done.However, what he gave her was less than one-ten thousandths of what he gave Susan.Susan could buy a bag for hundreds of thousands with his credit cards. What about her?He was unwilling to give money for life-saving medicine.She still owed him money.Shawn squinted deeply. "You haven't tried it. How do you know I won't agree? As long as you are pathetic enough, maybe I will agree!""If you had agreed, I wou

Her voice was firm, and her eyes even more so.Shawn was deeply stunned.Such clear and persistent eyes... inexplicably made him flustered.Gale said, "I still have my life. This is my only and last bargaining chip."Shawn was even more flustered.He suppressed it. "Do you know what you're talking about?""Yes." Gale looked into the depths of his eyes. "Shawn, there is too much between us. Too many grievances and too much hatred. It will always exist and cannot be eliminated if I'm by your side for one more day.""You hate me, hate my father for killing your father, hate me for carrying someone else's child...but the child was conceived before marrying you. From the beginning to the end, I was a victim.""I don't know what I have done wrong to live such a life. Before I met you, I was a girl who lived a happy life and was as bright as ever… I had a bright future."Gale lowered her eyes slightly. "Forget it. I don't want to say too much. Shawn, I will use my life. I will end th

She was determined to die!Gale ran, and Shawn chased behind.He was tall and had long legs, quickly narrowing the distance between them."Stop, Gale!" Shawn roared deeply, his voice drifting to the sky, spreading far. "Guards, stop her!"Panic swept him, and his voice trembled.Gale ran away with her skirts in hand.She gritted her teeth, slammed past the security guard with her shoulder, and went straight for the lake!"Gale!"Shawn's voice was just behind her. He almost caught up with her!Gale took the biggest leap, jumped onto the fence with her light and agile figure, stepped on it with one foot, and then jumped down without hesitation.Shawn ran over quickly and reached out to grab her.The sound of fabric tearing sounded.He only grabbed the hem of Gale's skirt. The fabric tore, leaving a piece in his hand.With a plop, water splashed everywhere.Gale fell into the water like a mermaid.Beautiful, yet so tragic.The moonlight shone brightly on the water, and the

He carefully tucked her wet hair behind her ears and gently stroked her cheeks with his fingers."Mr. Wood..."He seemed to be unable to hear them and kept his eyes on Gale.It was not until the ambulance came whistling that he got up, put her in, and rushed her to the hospital.Shawn seemed to have forgotten that he was also wet.While pushing Gale into the emergency room, the doctor asked, "Did you fall into the water?""Yes." Shawn replied."Does she usually have any acute illness? The family needs to be informed."He paused. He knew nothing about Gale's physical condition.The doctor urged, "Come on, I need to save her."Shawn said deeply, "She... is a pregnant woman." The doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded.The door slammed shut.He stood at the door of the emergency room with soaked shoes and water dripping from his sleeves."Mr. Wood, I brought clean clothes. You should put them on first...""No." He raised his hand and waved it away. "I'll wait for her t

When he walked into the living room, Susan saw him and ran over happily. "Mr. Wood... hey? Why are you wet?"After the whole night, Shawn's clothes were still damp.Susan wanted to reach out and touch it, but Shawn waved her away and strode upstairs."Mr. Wood...""If you have nothing to say, get out!""I…I just miss you."Shawn's figure disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.Susan gritted her teeth, feeling something was wrong.He was a nobleman. How could he return after a night out with such wet clothes and a haggard look?When Shawn finished bathing and changed clothes, Susan still had not left.He felt more irritable in his heart. "Why are you still here!"Mr. Wood was… disgusted by her?Shawn wanted to say something but suddenly coughed."Yeah, Mr. Wood, you have a cold." Susan became nervous. "You need to take medicine and see a doctor..."He ignored her and looked at the housekeeper, "Get the car, we are going to the company.""Okay."It would be a wonder if

She is alive.What about the child?The nurse just left and would not come again for a while. Gale's voice was so soft and frail that no one could hear her.She lifted the quilt and got out of bed with difficulty.As soon as her feet landed, she felt so weak that he almost fell to her knees.Gale gritted her teeth and insisted on walking out. "Nurse, my child... How is my baby..."Dead or alive?Just as she managed to move to the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.Gale's gaze fell into Shawn's deep eyes.After looking at each other for two seconds, she gritted her teeth, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and shouted hoarsely, "Shawn! Did you kill my child... You must have killed it! "Gale's eyes were red and bloodshot, staring straight at him.Shawn saw the hatred in her eyes so clearly.So intense.She hates him.Yeah, she should have hated him, like...he'd always hated her too.Because of hatred, Shawn threw Gale into a mental hospital.Because of hatred, she

Her eyes widened in horror. "You, you..."What a devil!"Don't think that your problems will go away just by dying. If you do it again, I promise, you can't imagine the tragedy that will befall you!" Shawn warned again.Gale stared at him, but she could not do anything.She could only say over and over again, "I hate you, Shawn, I hate you!"He listened quietly.After several minutes, he opened a bottle of water and handed it over. "Are you tired of scolding me? Drink some water and take a rest."Gale did not answer him."Drink." It was his usual commanding tone.Gale paused, took it, but splashed it straight at Shawn!In the entire Sea City, she was the first person who dared to splash water on Shawn!However, the water fell onto the floor because Shawn dodged sideways.Gale was so angry that she smashed the empty bottle on him. "I don't want to see you. Get out!""It's a pity because you have to see me for the rest of your life." As he spoke, Shawn bent over and leaned i

He held back his cough for her!In the emergency room, the doctor asked, "What happened?""I was bitten by a wild cat.""Take off your shirt, so I can apply the medicine."Shawn did as asked while a junior nurse with a tray next to him watched. When he peeled the shirt off his sturdy upper body, her face turned red unconsciously.His expression did not change at all.The doctor glanced at it and began to bandage Shawn's wound. "Oh, what kind of wild cat is it… This is clearly done by a human.""Can you tell?"The doctor replied, "Such a neat row of teeth marks… that makes it very obvious. Are you underestimating my IQ?"Shawn coughed deeply. "Well, it's a human.""Who has such a big hatred toward you and bit so hard?""My wife." The doctor was stunned for a moment. "Your lover is a tigress!"The people next to him all laughed when they heard it.Even Shawn's mouth curved unconsciously. "It's a tigress with neat teeth.""Be nice to your wife. After all, she's the one who w

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
