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

The banknotes hit her face and fell to the ground again.Shawn threw the remaining money again. "As soon as I turned around, you went to your old lover for help!"Gale explained, "I didn't look for Sam. I just happened to meet him.""Coincidence? Is it just a coincidence?!"Shawn kicked the coffee table in front of him with one foot and stood up suddenly."This is the money I gave to the hospital, Shawn. Why did you take it out!""Because it's useless if you pay for it. The doctor won't prescribe medicine without my permission!"Gale trembled uncontrollably.She finally managed to collect the money, thinking she could save her mother's pain, but Shawn stopped her.He was too powerful.Gale looked at him and said, "Can't you be a little soft-hearted and sympathetic to me!"Even if it was just a momentary thought.Could he just let her go, spare her once, and let her not live so hard in this world?However, Shawn would not.He has always been ruthless toward her."Who do y

The sports car sped along the road and ended up at a fancy bar.Shawn got out of the car, and the passing girls looked at his figure with envy and lust.A tall, handsome, and rich man was desirable!"Mr. Wood, you're here." The bar manager greeted him in person, "Same spot as always?""Yes, and bring me some wine.""Okay, wait a moment."Shawn walked to the booth only to see that Joe was also there.He kicked the chair to the side and sat down.Joe said, "Yo, you're here to go clubbing. You look so nasty. Did someone beat you up?"Shawn glanced at him and said, "No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak.""Hahahaha, let me guess, did you quarrel with Gale again?""A husband and wife quarreling is so dumb. You sleep in the same bed anyway."Joe patted his shoulder and said, "Let us men be more generous."He almost killed Gale.She deserves to die!Generous? She is pregnant with another man's child, and he has to endure it?Should he be that bastard's father?Craz

After that, he stopped talking and kept drinking silently.He drank too much.Joe stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, stop drinking... You're drunk, and I have to take you home!"His words were to no avail."Mr. Wood!" Susan ran over at this time. "It's really you. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes."Honestly, Joe never liked her very much and ignored her.Shawn glanced at her and continued drinking."Stop drinking. Drinking too much will hurt your health." Susan persuaded hypocritically, "You can tell me if you have troubles."She said that she should stop drinking, but she never moved her hand away, and even when Shawn went to get the wine, she helped pour it.Susan wished that Shawn was deeply drunk.Drunk men are the easiest to seduce.She had to seize this opportunity!However, Shawn thought she was annoying. "Go away!"He pushed her away.Susan fell down on the sofa next to her and pouted, "Mr. Wood, it's me. You don't even recognize me... Let's go to th

"She dares to get me drunk?"Susan did not even get the chance to gloat, and she heard Shawn say, "She is short of money, she doesn't ask me, she goes to Sam… she loves him!""Gale asked Sam for money?""Yes, to buy medicine for her mother!"Shawn clenched his fist deeply, smashed it heavily on the coffee table, and then stood up staggeringly.Susan saw this and planned to help him back to the hotel room.Even if she pretended to be Gale, she had to deceive Shawn!She could not wait any longer!Susan stood up and was about to help Shawn.Joe, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly blocked her. "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"Susan knew his identity and did not dare to provoke him. She replied with a smile, "Mr. Winter, I'm going to help Mr. Wood rest.""Don't bother. I'll take him home.""Mr. Winter, it's not troublesome at all. Why bother you! Let me do this kind of rough work!"Joe still blocked her. "Shawn is now a married man, so

Shawn's arms wrapped tightly around her waist."Gale, can you be more obedient? Don't make me angry. Listen to me," he said in a low voice.She smiled bitterly and said, "My life is in your hands, you can crush it all. What else do you want?""I want you to take the initiative, and I want you to stay willingly. Instead of… me using hatred and your parents to tie you to me."Gale was stunned.What Shawn said... She does not seem to understand.On second thought, he was drunk. He must be talking nonsense.Gale felt that she was also a little silly and laughed at herself."What are you laughing at?" Shawn was very dissatisfied and asked, "I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?"She murmured, "Even when he's drunk, he's still so fierce...""I'm not drunk!""Yes, yes, you are not drunk. The more drunk people are, the more they like to say that they are not drunk."Gale responded perfunctorily, like coaxing a child.She said, "Shawn, let me go first. I'll get a hot towel to wipe your

"Actually, your wife is very nice. She is always friendly, and she never yells.""I've been with you, and I've seen so many people. Your wife is really a kind-hearted person."Shawn took a deep look at the housekeeper. "Know your place."Then the housekeeper stopped talking and silently took out the fifty thousand dollars.That was the money that Gale picked up one by one yesterday.Shawn slammed his cutlery down.The servants around were too frightened to say a word."What does she mean?" Shawn asked deeply, "Huh?"The housekeeper made a 'zipper' motion on his mouth."Speak!""Mr. Wood, I don't know either. Your wife asked me to give it to you." The housekeeper replied, "The hospital called. Wendy Warm's condition can't be delayed. She had to take the medicine as soon as possible. After a day, the treatment effect will be reduced. Just one pill."Shawn had a thoughtful face."Wendy is in a vegetative state. Now she's awake. She has a good doctor and a strong will to live.

"You have to believe me, I... I have evidence! It can prove that Gale and her mother are both shady!" "Evidence?""Yes." Susan took out her phone. "I have a recording!"She clicked on the recording, and the voices on the recording could be heard throughout the dining room…"I also have Sam. He is my boyfriend.""He treats me very well, and he pays all the expenses."It was Gale talking!Shawn's calm face just now was like a cloud over the city at this moment!Sam!It was Sam again!In front of Wendy, she dared to directly admit her feelings for Sam!After a few seconds of pause, Wendy's voice sounded, "Gale, I want to see your father.""...Your father has done good deeds throughout his life."Gale asked, "Do you think that Shawn's death was really caused by Dad?"Hearing this, Shawn's pupils dilated!Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next conversation.Everyone in Temperley knows that the death of Master Wood is a taboo of the Wood Family and cannot be menti

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
