"Mommy! Good evening!" he said."Good evening. Let's have dinner, Joshua.""Well, I'm going to wash my hands!"Gale scratched his hair, feeling that something was wrong. Why was Joshua acting so weird?However, she could not tell what was wrong.After washing his hands, Joshua ran past her like a gust of wind and went straight to the dining hall.Gale finally understood what was wrong.Why was he still wearing a mask at home?Joshua lifted the mask from below and lowered his head to scoop food into his mouth.This kind of strange behavior..."Joshua." "Yes!""Take off the mask."He deliberately coughed hard. "No, this can prevent infection."Gale did not listen to his nonsense, and she just reached for his mask.Joshua pressed down hard. "Mommy, what are you doing...""Take it off. Let me see your face. What are you trying to hide?"Joshua curled his lips and gave up struggling.The scratch mark on his cheek was very obvious."How did you do it? Did you get hurt? Di

Gale had a sore nose and felt like crying.She blinked quickly and forced back the tears. "Joshua, you are still young, and the family does not need you to go out to make money.""But I am confident that I can get first place. It's a seven thousand dollar prize. It is enough for our family's living expenses for a year," Joshua replied. The more sensible he was, the more Gale blamed herself.It was because she was incapable that the child knew to help her share the pressure of life at such a young age.Gale touched his head and said, "Joshua, Mommy will work hard and design to make money. The money is enough, so you don't need to worry. The family is not at the point where you need to show your face to make money.""It's just a competition...""Okay, don't touch the wound when you wash your face at night. I have to take Nicole to the hospital tomorrow. You go to school by yourself, don't run around, and don't cause trouble, okay?" Gale said.Joshua's little head nodded. "Okay."

City?Yes, the bigger the city, the higher the level of medical care."I can only tell you the result. If you want medical treatment, you should go to the city, or... Sea City. Sea City is the largest port city, and it is very developed in all aspects. Maybe she can be completely cured there," the doctor suggested.Gale never expected that she would hear the place name 'Sea City' being suggested to treat Nicole's leukemia!She nodded and said, "Okay, okay… Thank you, doctor."Gale stood up and started seeing double. She was shaking and almost lost her footing.She supported the table and forced herself to calm down. "By the way, doctor, how much is the approximate treatment cost?" The doctor said, "A conservative estimate, seven or eight hundred thousand."Seven or eight hundred thousand!Where would Gale get so much money!Aurum bought the apartment.She jumped into the sea and left to come here penniless, earning little by little.Could it be... should she go to find Aurum

"Mommy is worried about you, so I will take you to a big hospital in the city for a physical examination."Nicole shook her head immediately after hearing this. "No need, Mommy. I'm really better, don't worry about it. No more wasting money. I go to school tomorrow. I want to go to school. I miss my teachers and classmates!""Mommy has money, don't worry. Your body is more important."Nicole said, "Is it because of the doctor? He said... I have leukemia?"Gale's heart twitches violently."No, why would Nicole get this disease. Just listen to Mommy. I'll send you to kindergarten when you come back from the city, okay?" Gale said.Nicole nodded."Hey, I have to finish this bowl of soup.""You eat it too, Mommy. You've lost weight," Nicole said."Okay, I'll eat with you."Nicole turned his head. "Mrs. Zoe, you come too!"Zoe was hiding beside her and quietly wiping away her tears when she heard Nicole calling her. She quickly collected her emotions and replied with a smile, "Ok

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Aurum felt that he had not actually done anything for Gale.Four years.Gale had very, very little contact with Aurum, and it was all through Zoe.Every time he asked her if there was anything he could do to help or if she was missing anything, or if there was anything she needed him… Gale would answer in a relaxed tone, that everything was fine.She always rejected him."Aurum, you have helped me enough… How can I ask for more?"Aurum asked, "Then what about Nicole? This is not a trivial matter. Can't delay this!""I..."Aurum was still very firm in his decision. "Okay, it's settled. Take Nicole to check first. Tell me immediately if there is any trouble in the future, and I'll help you find a solution."He knew that Gale had a strong self-esteem, so she must be feeling very uncomfortable now, and Nicole's condition was so serious. He was afraid that she would have a nervous breakdown.So, Aurum said, "Just treat it as a loa

However, no one would say anything."Eat it yourself." Shawn turned on his toes and changed his pace."Ah? Mr. Wood, where are you going? I've worked so hard for a long time...""Don't follow!"Winnie abruptly stopped.She planned to use kindness to slowly grab Shawn's heart.It started with cooking, then ironing, tidying the room, and so on.Step by step, she could gradually infiltrate his life!Unexpectedly, Shawn still ignored her!Looking at Shawn's back, Winnie was furious. "Where is he going? When he got home, he didn't even enter the door!""The mountain," the housekeeper replied.Winnie asked, "What? What is he doing on the mountain? Is there any treasure hidden there? He doesn't even need to eat!""Mr. Wood's treasure is indeed in the back mountain."Winnie said, "Then I'll go and have a look." The bodyguard immediately stopped her. "Mr. Wood just said you can't follow.""I'll just take a look. I won't go up the mountain!" Winnie said."The back mountain is excl

That was Shawn's holy land.Gale's tombstone was very clean and tidy, without a trace of dust, and the freshest and most delicate flowers were always placed there by Shawn himself.When spring came, wildflowers would bloom all over the mountain.One after another, small flowers swayed gently when the wind blew.It was like being in nature.In summer, the back mountain was green and shaded by trees, and there would be the chirping of summer cicadas and frogs.Shawn also planted a maple forest.Every fall, it would turn red in a large area, which was very beautiful.He worked hard to make the back mountain have unique scenery in the four seasons.Everyone in Temperley Hall knew that the most important thing in Shawn's heart was his wife, so they dared not take things lightly in that area."Gale, I know a woman whose design style is similar to yours. Her name is Molly.""I am on a business trip this time to meet her.""If you are still alive, you will want to meet such a perso

A qualified heir cannot have too many emotions. Only the ability to manage the company is enough!Too much family involvement would only hinder him! Thinking of this, Shawn shook his head deeply.He wiped the photo on the tombstone again. "Gale, don't worry. I will do what I promised you. In this life... I will never touch another woman."He would not meet other women.Just thinking about it, Shawn would feel conflicted in his heart.Shawn left when it was dark, and the wind on the mountain turned cold.He coughed again."Mr. Wood, do you want to call the family doctor? You seem to have caught a cold," said the housekeeper."Yes.""Okay, I'll call him right away."Winnie saw it and immediately followed suit. "Mr. Wood, do you have a cold? I'll pour you a cupof hot water!" She was very attentive. "Drinking more hot water can make your cold better. Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long."Shawn stared at the cup and took a sip.He said lightly, "I went

No one would bury his dead wife at home!"So... So, Mr. Wood, after you came back, did you go to the back mountain to accompany Gale?""Yes."Winnie swallowed."Mr. Wood... aren't you afraid?" Winnie rubbed her arms and said, "It's better not to say these things at night. It's scary. "Shawn said, "Scary? If there are ghosts in the world, then I hope she can come to Temperley Hall, see me, appear in front of me, and let me meet her."He was not afraid.That was his favorite woman. He was not afraid of people or ghosts. He would open his arms and hug her!It was a pity that Shawn had never even dreamed of her."If she appeared, just take me away..."Shawn raised his head, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.His throat hurt as he coughed again. After staying in the back mountain all afternoon, his body was exhausted.However, he could not sleep.Gale was all on his mind. It was Jasmine, the woman who had glimpsed in the hospital! The family doctor came and presc

Lucas asked, "Why do you look so much like Gale?"The old man immediately regained his spirits."Well, you can just call me Winnie. When I first came in, I just knew you would be kind," she said very attentively.Winnie was such a smart mouth.Lucas saw through it.However, Lucas nodded. "Yes, this girl can talk."Winnie was even happier when she heard that."Yes, Shawn, if you don't wait to see me, I'll leave first. No matter how angry you are with me, this body is yours, so take good care of it," Lucas said.Then, the old man looked at Winnie. He turned around and walked slowly outside with a cane.Winnie also understood the look in his eyes and hurriedly followed. "Master, slow down. I'll see you off!""Okay, housekeeper, take care of Shawn.""Yes."They left, and the housekeeper looked at Shawn. "Mr. Wood, do you want to send someone to watch...""Let them go. There's nothing wrong with it," Shawn said.Winnie followed, wanting to be alone for a while, and had somethi
