Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 71
He looked at the computer and got ready to work, but his mind went blank for a brief moment.Gale... is pregnant?Impossible.If she was really pregnant, there was only one possibility.She cheated on him.Did she really dare?Absurd!Shawn picked up the phone and made a phone call. "Fiona.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Shawn ordered, "Go to the hospital, take the blood drawn by Gale that had not been used up to the obstetrics and gynecology department...Give me the blood test results by tonight.""Okay, Mr. Wood."Gale had no idea.She went to work, as usual, and drew designs. When she was eating in the company cafeteria at noon, Summer laughed at her recent increase in food intake.Shawn walked out of the office, and Fiona greeted him, "Mr. Wood, the results of the examination at the hospital are out. Have a look."He glanced at the sealed document bag and reached out to take it."Shut your mouth and don't tell anyone."Fiona lowered her head and said, "Mr. Wood, don't worry."Sh

At this point, Gale could only admit, "Yes, you are right.""You refused to draw blood before because you wanted to protect this child!" "Yes."Every confession she made fueled Shawn's anger."Do you think I won't kill you! Gale, you think I am not serious!"Gale raised her head and said, "I've never felt that way. Come on, Shawn, do it. You can kill me now."She closed her eyes.Gale understood that once the child was discovered, her death would not be far away.She knew the kind of man he was. How could he allow this betrayal!There was no mercy in his eyes!"You're really hilarious." Shawn's hands tightened around her neck. "You really think that I want to keep you by my side to torture you day and night, and I won't kill you? Oh, how dare you take me for a fool!"The air in her lungs was almost gone.Gale could no longer breathe.The brain was gradually deprived of oxygen. If this continues, within twenty seconds, she will die.Just when Gale thought that her life w

Perhaps, a woman was destined to fight alone in her life.Gale replied, "I don't know who he is. I didn't even... didn't even see his face clearly."Shawn sneered and said, "You really are good at lying. Spinning tales, I see how outrageous the lies you can tell!""It's true! I'm not lying!""You didn't even know who he was, so you let him rape you?"Gale gritted her teeth, feeling humiliated."I was trapped...""You were framed." Shawn's voice sarcastically overshadowed her. "You are innocent. You are innocent and clean, aren't you?""Five weeks pregnant... Gale, at that time, you were still in the mental hospital. Tell me, which wild man did you hang out with?"She was powerless to explain, "I really didn't.""Were you a lowly woman who traded your body for a good life?"It's a pity that he thought before that she was pure.Thinking about it now, she can really deceive people!He almost deceived him!Gale bit his tongue and kept herself alert with the pain. "I've alread

Lucas took two steps forward and reached out to grab it. "Let me see, what is this?"When he saw it, he was immediately overjoyed. "Yay! You're pregnant! You're pregnant! It's good, Gale!"Shawn's expression darkened.Lucas was immersed in joy and had not noticed the tension in the air."I know that there is no woman who vomits for no reason. She must be pregnant. Hey, thank you to the angels who watch over the Wood family. I can finally hold my great-grandson!"He folded his hands together, his face full of excitement and gratitude."Gale, although you are the enemy of our Wood family, this is the best way to atone for your sins. Take good care of this child!"Gale had no idea how to answer, so she could only keep silent."Did you hear what I said?" Lucas said with a stern face, "As long as you can give the Wood family a child, I can consider... releasing Dr. Warm from prison."Shawn reprimanded, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!""The Warm family killed our Wood family'

Shawn clenched her wrist deeply and pulled her up forcefully.Gale desperately struggled. "I'm not going to the hospital!""Nobody will help you!"Suddenly, the phone rang.Lucas said, "Shawn! What are you doing? She is a pregnant woman, don't drag her around. Think about the child!""Grandpa, your spy is really conscientious. It's almost a live broadcast!""Everything is for the sake of the child. You should let go of your violent temper." Lucas said, "Take Gale back to the room to rest. Stop causing her more trouble."He wanted to fight back.Lucas persisted."Just let me be a grandfather, I beg you." Lucas said softly, "I lost my son in old age, so pitiful. I really want to hug my great-grandson."Shawn hung up the phone expressionlessly.He married Gale, the enemy's daughter because Paula forced him to make this move.Now, he could not bear to tell his grandfather that the child was not his.Only heaven can know this secret, and him and Gale!"You're lucky." Shawn gri

"Cough cough, I like her? Nonsense!" Joe waved his hand and said, "She's flamboyant and fierce, like a tigress. What a joke!"Just as he was talking, Summer pushed open the door and came in, "Who is the tigress?"Joe immediately fell silent."Who are you talking about?" Summer was curious and asked, "You are hiding gossip from me, right?"Gale held back her laughter."No, no, no." Joe waved his hand and said, "Our Chief Designer thought that the salary was too much, so she came to me to ask about the situation.""Oh, yes, Gale, you must treat yourself with your salary!"She nodded and said, "Okay, please. I'll buy you guys lunch."Joe was a good man who had helped her career.Summer is her best friend.Without their help and support, she would not be able to do what she was good at and enjoy it.Summer smiled and said, "Then I will not hold back. I want to eat Japanose food! I will make sure to eat heaps!"Gale responded positively.After eating the Japanese food, when Gal

There is no such word as 'expensive' in his dictionary.He can afford to buy whatever he wants in the world. "Yes, special medicine is needed after a vegetative person wakes up. One dose costs fifty thousand. She needs one every month and needs to take it for five consecutive years. Only then can she make a good recovery."Shawn frowned deeply.A sharp voice suddenly sounded, "Please give it to my mother!"Gale broke in.She was still holding the sachet tightly in her hand, looking at him expectantly and cautiously...Such a high-priced special medicine… Well, she could not afford it.However, Shawn could.Shawn's deep eyes flashed when he saw the sachet in her hand.His words were still very ruthless, "I'll give you this opportunity to be filial, Gale. You can go to the hospital now to pay the bills and prescribe medicine for your mother."Fifty thousand, once a month.That was too much money for Gale.Shawn said indifferently, "If you can't do it, don't ask for it."He

Tears suddenly fell.God gave her a glimmer of hope."Thank you, thank you. This money is very important to me..." she repeated.With this addition and her salary, her mother could afford the medicine this month!Sam asked, "What do you want the money for?"Gale said, "My mother woke up. She needs to take a special medicine."Sam was also very surprised. "Really? That's great! Gale, can I see her?"If she wanted to see her mother, she needed Shawn's consent.However, she lied to her mother, saying that she was with Sam and she had to take him to her mother.Gale replied, "Not for now. I'll tell you when I have a chance."Sam nodded and said, "Okay. Gale, you have a mother again."That sentence brought Gale to tears.She lived a very sad life, but God had given her a little hope and returned her mother to her."Yes, I have a mother." Gale murmured, "A child with a mother is lucky."After getting the money, Gale hurried to the hospital and paid for the medicine.She repeat

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
