Chapter 1601

Shawn murmured her name twice before saying, "I realize now that love isn't about possession. It's..."He gulped before continuing, "It's not about how much effort I put in, but about knowing that you're always there. It's knowing that no matter when, you'll always choose to come back home. We'll sleep in the same bed forever and ever."That was true love. Love was not about control, tying one's hands and feet and watching their every move. Love was about mutual dependence with mutual freedom. It was about having each other in your hearts no matter where you are. Shawn had misunderstood what love was. Now, he finally saw the light.Gale leaned back, rested against him and gently said, "Yes, no matter how many people appear by my side, the only person I love is you. Likewise, you have all those admirers around you, but I am the only one you love."Love does not need constant control. To know that someone would always choose you is true love."Shawn, I'm a bit shy and don't express

Due to the severity of Joshua's injuries, he would have to stay in the hospital for at least another half month. Gale had to take care of her son, and Shawn would spend most of his time in the ward with her. Naturally, they would show public affection. The couple had to constantly consider Joshua, who quite frankly made it inconvenient for them to have some private time. Besides, Joshua had a sharp mouth.Gale pushed Shawn away, saying, "Enough, be mindful of the kid.""I think he's recovering fine. No need to worry. Tonight, you go home and get a good night's sleep." Shawn's eyes had a glint, and he almost looked predatory.She was stunned. Would she really get a good night's sleep after going home? She probably would be better off staying in the hospital."I..." Gale was about to reply when someone urgently knocked on the door. "Mr. and Mrs. Wood!""Yes!"The bodyguard outside shouted, "Pearton is awake!"Finally."I'll go check on him." Gale immediately rushed out.It was

Yes, he cursed Shawn, but since Shawn was his father, he basically cursed himself. After all, they are related."Do you really want me to call you that? Are you trying to satisfy your vanity and sense of security, or do you truly acknowledge me as your son?" Joshua asked."What do you mean if I truly acknowledge you as my son? Joshua, you are my son; my blood flows in you, and you share my genes. Your personality is even similar to mine.""I feel that calling you Shawn is more comfortable for me..."Shawn did not speak. He just raised his hand and turned the doorknob, ready to leave.Joshua quickly spoke up, "Okay, fine! Daddy, please take me to see Uncle Pearton!"He thought a real man would need to be flexible and strategic. Right now, he would give in to achieve his goal. Next time, Shawn would not be able to hear him call him 'Daddy' so easily!Shawn turned around and returned to his bedside with a faint, triumphant smile on his lips. He was the boss. Joshua was just a kid.

"Yes, as long as we continue to monitor him, he will recover.""That's great. I've been worried that he might..."After all, Natalie died. Gale was afraid that they would not be able to save Pearton."It's indeed a miracle. I think it's due to his own physique. He's a bodyguard, and his body is strong as he exercises regularly. Plus, when he fell rapidly, he instinctively wrapped his hand around his head. The training kicked in to protect him," the doctor said.Gale nodded repeatedly. As long as he was alive, that was good.Pearton silently watched her. He, unfortunately, was unable to move, and speaking was difficult. Otherwise, he wanted to tell Gale that he willingly sacrificed himself and she did not owe him anything.Saving Joshua was his duty, and he was satisfied to fulfill it."Take care of yourself; don't need to worry about anything else. I'll wait for your full recovery." Gale held his hand."I'm afraid I will be too weak after this. I can't... can't serve you and Mr

"What are you all laughing at? Did I say something wrong?" Joshua looked utterly confused.The doctor shook his head. "Nothing. I'll head back to the office to finalize Pearton's treatment plan. Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, we'll take our leave."The doctor led the nurses out, leaving Joshua still puzzled."Why are you laughing then? Did I say something wrong? Mommy, why are you laughing? Shawn, aren't you the perpetually poker-faced guy? Even you laughed," he kept asking.Shawn raised an eyebrow. "You said you'd devote yourself to Pearton?""Yeah. Don't they always say that on TV to repay someone for saving your life? Why can't I say that too?" Joshua replied nonchalantly."You can. It's up to Pearton if he wants that." Shawn nodded.Gale tugged at Shawn's sleeve. "Joshua is just a kid. Why are you messing with him?"Shawn replied seriously, "I'm quite open-minded. I'll agree if he insists on devoting himself to another man."Joshua sensed something was off. He muttered, "So, it's ok

No amount of pre planning could help the situation then. Fortunately, Pearton succeeded in his crazy idea."Yeah, yeah. Whether he successfully rescued me or not, Uncle Pearton is undoubtedly a great hero!" Joshua nodded repeatedly.Pearton just nodded.Gale bent down, leaning against Pearton. "Take good care of yourself. We won't disturb you. If you need anything, just ask. I will do whatever I can to do it.""Thank you, Mrs. Wood."Pearton was extremely weak. In the short time he had been awake, he had expended most of his energy to converse with them.Gale, not wanting to disturb him, left with Joshua.Pearton slowly closed his eyes with a faint smile.He had done something profoundly meaningful in his life that he would never regret.Back in his ward, Joshua immediately started to settle scores.When Gale tried to put him back on the bed, he clung to her arm. "Mommy, Daddy bullied me. Whose side are you on?""When did he bully you?""Just now! When you ran out to see Un

"She was there? Why?" Gale exclaimed."Matthew couldn't really stand on his own, so she was there to support him. I threw the divorce papers in her face and told her that from now on, I will never see her and Matthew again," Mary explained."I also told Heather that despite all her scheming, seducing Matthew, and taking my daughter away, she gained nothing. I won't bother with her because she wasted half her life. If she wants Matthew, she can have him.""I told her there was nothing left to fight for. She took you away, which is indeed a crime deserving of death. Even if I had the intention to kill her now, it wouldn't change the fact that you left me at a young age. I want to forget it all.""Now you and Shawn have a loving relationship. Joshua and Nicole are growing up well. I don't want bloodshed; I don't want to be the villain punishing Heather. Let's move forward with grace."Gale nodded. "Mom, you're so open-minded. I feel relieved."She was worried that her unilateral dec

"Sure!" Joshua responded enthusiastically. Shawn also agreed.Gale smiled. "That's more like it." Regardless of what they discussed, they would gradually adapt and grow closer. After all, they were father and son.Joshua smirked. Shawn sighed. Even their expressions when they scowled were identical. Gale saw their expressions and found it amusing.A month had passed.Joshua was getting discharged. After spending a whole month in the hospital, Joshua was itching to get out. "I felt I could have left much earlier. Your paranoia and all those checks that delayed me for a week. The doctor finally allowed my discharge. Yes! I am finally free!" Joshua said.He grabbed his hospital gown and waved it above his head. He was in high spirits.The stitches on Joshua's neck were removed, and he would only need to medicate them to prevent scarring."Freedom! Freedom! Woo-hoo! I can run and jump again, free to soar!" Joshua bounced on the hospital bed, wiggling his hips.Shawn and Gale stood

Joshua picked up the gold necklace, bit on it, and grinned. That was not all. When Lucas arrived, he handed Joshua a key. "Great Grandpa, what is...""A house key.""What?! A house?"More precisely, it was the key to a villa. Lucas explained, "In the future, when you grow up and have a family, you can move here. Joshua, you can't keep living with your parents, can you?" Joshua joyfully accepted, "Thank you, Great Grandpa!"Lucas was always generous. After buying a theme park for Nicole, he purchased a villa for Joshua. Their gifts were progressively more luxurious."Do you ever feel that his gifts are getting more extravagant?" Gale nudged Shawn's shoulder.Was that appropriate? Would it cultivate Joshua's lavish spending habits?Take the racing car model from Peter as an example; it looked ordinary, but as a limited edition, it cost tens of thousands! Not to mention the gold necklace and a villa!Shawn replied, "It's fine."Gale realized she should not have asked him beca

Gale spoke first, "Aurum..."Shawn furrowed his brows, scrutinizing. Why was he here? Aurum looked calm. His eyes glanced past Shawn and Gale and made a beeline for Joshua. He held a bouquet, knocked on the door, and offered it to Joshua. "Joshua.""Uncle Aurum! You came!" Hearing Aurum's voice, Joshua's eyes lit up."How could I be absent on your big day?""I thought..."Joshua glanced at Shawn.Considering how petty and jealous his father was, he probably would not have informed Aurum. In fact, Shawn indeed did not tell Aurum that Joshua was getting discharged that day. Aurum came on his own.However, with everyone here, could Shawn really send him away?Aurum smiled. "I haven't bought anything special, Joshua, just a bouquet of flowers.""Flowers are great, so beautiful and fresh. I love flowers!" Joshua ran over, taking the flowers in his hands. "Uncle Aurum, I like everything you give me!"Aurum patted his head. "In the future, stay close to your mom and dad, be obedient
