Shawn nodded before he picked up the knife by the side. "Throw this away. From now on, no sharp objects are allowed inside the ward. Absolutely none."He had known that Gale had hidden a knife under her pillow for a long time.However, he had said nothing about it and had not taken it away.That was because Shawn felt he would give her a chance since she wanted to kill him with it.He never expected that, at the last moment, Gale would turn the knife in another direction, piercing herself instead of him.Shawn's hand was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages.Even so, blood still stained the bandages red."I couldn't kill you, and you won't let me die…Shawn, do you just want the two of us to continue fighting like this our whole lives?" Gale spoke softly."Yes.""Why?"He said in a deep voice, "Because you need to be by my side."Gale bit her lower lip. "But I don't love you. I hate you. I can't bear your love at all!""You can hate me if you want to. All I need is to love y

The front desk was stunned when Shawn appeared at the entrance of the company. "M…Mr…" He still had that blue shirt on, which was stained with blood. He had a bandage on his hand, and his expression was incredibly dark. He looked like…He had just killed someone."Mr. Wood!" Fiona hurried over in a panic. "You… Ah, this b-blood."Shawn looked at her coldly.He went back to the president's office and got a change of clothes from the lounge. After that, he went right to work.Fiona said, "Mr. Wood, your hand… You should rest. You can dictate, and I'll help you write everything down."Shawn said calmly, "It's not broken. I'm not a cripple.""Oh… Mr. Wood, you have such a good mentality."If a normal person got hurt like that, they would already be considered quite strong if they were not crying their hearts out."It's because this was in exchange for her safety. It was worth it." Shawn opened his palm.Fiona did not understand, but she did not ask any further.However, Fion

Shawn leaned into his chair with a tired expression."I would recommend that you completely cut your ties with Susan first. Women need a sense of security the most. A firm choice would show your love. If you want a future with Gale, you have to cut things off with Susan completely," Joe said.Shawn remained silent."Could you… Like them both? Do you want one woman in each hand? Surely not, Shawn. With Susan's character and personality… You'd only like her if you're blind.""I understand. You can go," Shawn said.Joe was speechless.Haha, he was being chased out the moment Shawn was done using him!Scumbag!"You're still not going? Do you want to stay for a meeting? Maybe you want to see a client or go on a business trip?" Shawn asked.Joe disappeared in a flash.Shawn got up and walked to the balcony. He lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it.Shawn only left the company at ten in the night."Mr. Wood, you need to change the dressings on your hand…""Prepare the car. We're g

Shawn was there to cut ties.Joe was right. Since he had no feelings for Susan and only gratitude, he should have cut ties quickly.Love was love.Gratitude was gratitude.If he wanted things to last long with Gale, Susan needed to disappear.Susan could not believe her ears. "Mr. Wood, you want to chase me away?""You'll get what you want. Tell me all your requests. I'll agree to it all."Money and assets were all unimportant things to Shawn.He would give whatever Susan wanted to her.It was what Susan deserved.Paula would have gotten what she wanted if Susan had not been there that night."No, no, I don't want anything. All I want is you. Mr. Wood, I don't want the house, and I don't want any money. Just let me stay by your side… I can't lose you," Susan said while frantically shaking her head.Susan did not know how the situation ended up like that.After the fake pregnancy was exposed, Shawn was furious. She knew that, so she had constantly been apologizing.With Ga

He had started to miss her.That was despite the fact that his hand had almost been crippled because of her!Susan refused to relent. "My conditions are to stay by your side. Mr. Wood, I don't want anything else!"She was no id*ot.She needed the chicken to lay the eggs.Materialistic gains were all eggs. Once she asked, she would get no more.If she stayed by Shawn's side, she would always get whatever she wanted!"Okay," Shawn said suddenly.Susan was stunned for a moment before she said happily, "Mr. Wood, I knew you still loved me!""If you don't want it, then I guess you don't want anything. I'll agree to it. Move out tomorrow," Shawn said."What?""I respect your wishes. You said you didn't want anything yourself." Shawn got up and started to walk out.He did not have the time to waste on this."Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood!" Susan panicked and hurriedly pulled at him. "I…I really do love you…"Shawn asked her directly, "Is there something you want?"Susan clenched her teeth

She acted like he was not there."I haven't eaten yet," Gale said."Oh."He frowned. "Can't you show some consideration?"He had been busy with work and dealing with Susan's affairs. After that, he hurried over to see her…She did not seem happy about it at all."There are many women who would be considerate toward you. There are plenty of women who would do anything for you. Why would you ask me for something I won't give you?" Gale said.She was the only one who would dare to rebuke Shawn like that.The servants overheard their conversation and were too scared to even breathe. The servants quietly produced a new set of cutlery.Shawn ate in an elegant manner.Even his appetite was better by her side.Gale suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, that's right. Let's get a divorce." His hand suddenly stopped as his expression darkened at a noticeable pace."I don't have my child anymore, so your family won't look at me favorably anymore. You can marry Susan now. Our m

"Gale!"She laughed and said, "I wanted to show you that what you give is never what I want. You're never able to give me the things that I want."Even if Shawn agreed to release her father because he loved her, Gale would not accept it.What she wanted was for her father to have true freedom. She wanted him to be clear of any crimes.She did not want her father to be released without an explanation because of Shawn's love.Shawn pulled at his tie as he gulped.He could not give her what she wanted?What a joke!He was at the peak of power. He could get anything he wanted. How could he not be able to give Gale what she wanted?!Yet, he could not!"Be good, Gale. Give me some conditions that I'll agree to. It'll only be good for you. Don't try to take the world in one day," Shawn said.Gale lowered her gaze and replied, "I'm not full yet. I want to eat.""Have someone buy a new meal.""I want to leave the hospital. I want to go back to the company to work," Gale said."Of

She only had a hospital gown on. He could easily open her buttons!"You're really something else," Shawn said after sucking on her lips, "How alluring can you be?"Every time he kissed her, Shawn would need a cold shower to return his body temperature to normal.That time was naturally no exception.Gale put her hand on his chest. "Stop messing around. This isn't somewhere you can satisfy your libido!"It was a hospital ward!She had just gone through an abortion!Shawn looked at her and said, "There's still plenty of time. I'm in no hurry. There will be plenty of chances in the future."Gale answered resolutely, "There won't be any chances in the future. We'll get a divorce.""As long as I refuse, you'll never be able to leave me.""Shawn! Y…You're shameless!"He grabbed onto her waist, pulling her harder toward him.He said into her ear, "Not only that, Gale. I want you to submit to me too willingly.""Never going to happen!""It'll happen one day."Shawn's finger sudd

He was actually squeezing into such a small bed with her!How was he not embarrassed?!He was a hundred and eighty centimeters tall. He could not even straighten his legs! "Shawn, get up!" Gale tried to push his arms away. "Who wants to sleep on the same bed as you?!"His eyes were shut, and he said sleepily, "Are you asking me to sleep on the floor?""Go back to your big mansion!""You're not there. I'm not going."Gale was speechless again.The bed was only a meter wide. With two adults on the bed, even turning around was difficult.All she could do was lean into Shawn's embrace. That was one thing. Even more embarrassing was the fact that any slight movement would cause the bed to creak.It could not stand the weight of two people.Gale pointed and said, "G…Go sleep on the sofa! Or I can sleep there."Otherwise, she was probably not getting a good night's sleep that night.She tried to get up as she said that, but Shawn's hand pushed down on her stomach. "Sleep, don'

Wendy looked at her. "Am I dreaming? Are you really here?"Gale held her hand and said, "I'm really here, Mom. I came to see you. I miss you so much."Only in front of her mother would she act like a little girl. Only then could she be herself, not needing to be strong."Gale…" Wendy's tears constantly fell."Mom, why are you crying? Aren't I fine?"Wendy sat up from the bed. "You stupid child. You only ever tell me the good things. How much have you suffered before?"Gale bit her lips. "Mom, everything will be better."Susan had been there before and had told Wendy all about Gale. Both of them knew exactly what had been going on.However, neither of them brought it up.What would come from doing that? Were they supposed to hug each other and cry?"I know you want to make me happy, but…" How could Shawn ever treat her well?! The most important thing for a woman was her purity and her marriage. Both of those had been destroyed by Shawn!"Mom, let's not talk about all of
