"That depends on what Shawn decides to do.""You're absolutely sure that Mr. Wood won't come back to the hospital? What if he actively seeks treatment?"Aurum countered, "Did you see him throw something away just now?""Yes.""Do you know what that was?""Medicine? It looked like a pill bottle," the detective replied.Aurum smiled triumphantly. "Do you think someone willing to actively treat and fight cancer would throw away their medicine?"Knowing your enemy guaranteed victory in every battle. Aurum knew Shawn too well. With Shawn's personality, upon learning he had cancer, his instinct would be to keep it a secret, pretending nothing was wrong. First, to prevent chaos within the Wood Group; second, to avoid causing Gale heartbreak; and third, because there were also the two children. Aurum had spent a lot of time and effort scheming to drive a wedge between Shawn and Gale, but all had failed. Their trust was solid. If outsiders could not separate them, Aurum would have to c

Joshua was just being a kid, spouting nonsense."Tsk, you don't understand men." Joshua shook his head repeatedly. "Mommy, you still need to stay vigilant. Don't get too comfortable and forget the dangers.""Go, go, go, quickly wash up and get to bed."By the time Gale had gotten the two kids to sleep, it was already past ten at night. She returned to the master bedroom. For some inexplicable reason, looking at the neatly made bed, she felt a sense of emptiness. Shawn had not been this late in a long time. He always left work on time and preferred to handle any work he could from home. He was very family-oriented and always wanted to spend his free time with her.Tonight must be something really important at the company.Gale lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She had long gotten used to falling asleep in Shawn's arms.After some thought, Gale picked up her phone and sent him a message. [Still busy? It's really late.]After sending the message, she waited, h

He would be gone forever, never to sleep by her side again. How would she endure the endless nights alone?Shawn had once experienced this kind of feeling. He had experienced the long nights, tossing and turning, being unable to sleep. When he thought Gale died, he went through four years like this. It was a time of pain and torment, something Shawn did not want to remember, much less go through again.Thinking about it, if he were to leave, she would have to face decades of lonely nights and emptiness. Just the thought made Shawn's heart ache."I'm on my way back now. Sorry, Galey, I was really busy today.""I didn't mean to blame you.""Good girl."Gale held her phone tightly. "Drive slowly and safely. I'll wait for you to come home before I sleep. Are you going to the office with me at the same time tomorrow?""Yeah, I still have things to finish.""Okay, after this busy period, make sure you get some good sleep."Ending the video call, Gale finally let go of her anxiety.

When he was alone in the office, Shawn felt as though the whole world had abandoned him, drifting away from him. The profound sense of loneliness was indescribable. Now, seeing Gale, it was as if he had returned to the earthly realm. Entering the master bedroom, Shawn barely pushed the door open when Gale rushed over and embraced him."Why did you come home so late..." She pouted. "I've been waiting for you for so long.""You can go to sleep first.""I told you I can't sleep." Shawn wanted to hold her but then remembered something and gently pushed her away. "I just came in from outside, feeling cold. Don't freeze yourself."He remained considerate, still gentle. "Then go take a shower and go to bed early. I'll get your pajamas," Gale said. "My Galey is becoming more and more capable.""Yeah, you're so lucky." She nudged Shawn and turned to walk into the dressing room, deftly preparing his pajamas and slippers.Shawn treated her well, and in return, she treated him well too. Th

Gale thought to herself that it should still be early in the morning because Shawn always woke up early. She had only slept in the early hours of the morning, tormented by him, yet she felt surprisingly refreshed with only a few hours of sleep. Gale glanced drowsily at the clock. It was one in the afternoon. She was startled. It was already this late.Instinctively, she wanted to wake Shawn up, but seeing him sleep so deeply, she hesitated. He had been up so late last night. She thought he should rest a little longer. Gale relaxed into his embrace, obediently not moving to avoid waking him up. "Hmm? Awake?" Shawn murmured with a low hum. "What time is it?""One o'clock," she replied softly.He did not respond, just rolled over and pulled her in closer. "When did you wake up? I didn't make any noise to wake you," Gale asked. "I woke up when you woke up.""Really?"Shawn smirked, his eyes still closed. "It's time to get up; it's already afternoon," Gale poked his chest.

Shawn was unusually serious about his selections. Gale tugged at his sleeve. "Who buys clothes like this? You should at least try them on before buying.""They'll look good on you.""But I have to try them!""Okay," Shawn nodded. "You can try it in the next store."Gale sighed. For Shawn, there was no need to try on clothes. His suits were professionally tailored to his measurements, custom-made and perfectly fitted. Even when he went shopping, he sat in VIP lounges, where dedicated staff brought him the latest collections from top brands for his selection. There were even models who would try on clothes as human hangers for display. If he liked something, a nod from him would signal the staff to pack up the outfit.That was Shawn's way of shopping. Today, he wanted to accompany Gale, pass the time, and experience the simple pleasure of shopping like an ordinary person.Yet, just at the first store, they had already bought a huge pile of things. Their staff were carrying at least

Gale took a sip of coffee. "You're really so healthy and fit. I can't walk anymore. Let's skip shopping today and rest."Healthy and fit? No, that was far from the truth. Shawn's expression darkened. He had already been diagnosed with cancer. Just thinking about his illness made his throat dry and itchy, uncontrollably urging him to cough. He had thrown away the medicine; he knew he would only cough more violently in the future.Shawn was in a state of confusion now. He knew the outcome and knew where he was headed, but he had not figured out how to handle it. Should he face the outcome alone, or should he let someone face it with him? He cherished every minute and every second spent with Gale more and more. "I'm going to the restroom." Gale stood up. "Let's head home after. Joshua and Nicole should be home from school soon.""Okay," Shawn said, crossing his legs and watching her walk away.He always managed to spot her in a crowd. In his eyes, she was unique. What should he do a

Aurum could not have just appeared before him without reason, let alone mention his illness out of nowhere, and deliberately choose the moment when Gale was away to show up. He slowly sat down in front of Shawn."Since your time is running out, you won't be able to take care of Gale properly in the days to come. Why not entrust her to me? I love her deeply. I will take good care of her, protect her, and let her live her life worry-free."As for your two children, I will treat them like my own. Joshua and Nicole both like me a lot, and I like them too. Once Gale and I are together, they won't oppose me too much."Of course, if you're worried, I can assure you, I won't have children with Gale again. Joshua and Nicole are enough for me."Before Aurum could finish, there was a loud bang.Shawn slammed his palm heavily on the table! What nonsense was Aurum spouting? Planning Shawn's death like this? He was arrogantly claiming he would take care of Shawn's children?"I'm still alive, A
