She had not heard from her mother since Shawn took her from the hospital.The housekeeper said cheerily, "Madam, it's good news. The hospital called to say that Mrs. Warm is awake!"Gale could not believe her ears.Her mother woke up?She...was awakened from her vegetative state!What a miracle!Gale finally got some good news.No matter how aggrieved she had felt for the past few weeks, she could not help but let down her guard and cry. She felt so relieved that she cried and laughed at the same time. "It's good, it's good, my mother is finally awake..."Tears of excitement rolled down her face.Gale turned around and said, "Shawn, can I visit my mother?"Afraid that he would disagree, she quickly assured him, "I just want to see her, nothing else! She must miss me too.""Sure."Her eyes lit up. "Really?"However, there was a tugging feeling in his heart that something was wrong. Shawn would never be so kind.He must have conditions.Is it...Shawn replied, "You can go

After arriving at the hospital and drawing blood, Gale sneaked to the obstetrics and gynecology department, claiming that she needed to go to the bathroom.She asked the doctor for a bunch of abortion prevention pills and stuffed them into her bag.She worked very hard to ensure that she and her child could live.Gale met Susan in the elevator as she was leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department.S he asked proudly, "Have you finished drawing blood? You can still stand so energetically, it seems... you can continue tomorrow.""Don't even think about it."After having the chance to see her mother, she tried to fight back.She refused to let Susan and Dean continue to take her blood. Otherwise, the child really could not be saved!Susan said confidently, "Then let's wait and see tomorrow."Gale smiled and replied, "Okay, see you tomorrow."She got out of the elevator, and the driver and bodyguard next to her also walked out, making her look important.Susan asked, "Wher

She had no idea what was going on, but she could guess.Gale smiled and said, "No, Mom, I'm fine. I'm doing fine. Don't worry.""Don't lie to me. You look thin and haggard..."Gale replied, "Really, if I don't have a good life, where would I be able to pay for such a good hospital?"Wendy touched her hair and said, "The Wood family didn't give you a hard time, did they? How did you finish your studies?"Gale said, "I did... and Sam. He is my boyfriend and treats me very well. He pays all your expenses in the hospital. Over the years, he's been taking care of me."Wendy breathed a long sigh of relief. "Okay, that's fine. I could tell then that Sam was a good boy and would treat you well.""Yes.""I didn't expect that two years had passed. I've slept long enough. What about your dad? Where is he? Is he okay?""Dad is serving his sentence in prison. Don't worry. I will visit him often."Wendy nodded and said, "When I can get out of bed. I will pay him a visit, even if I'm in a w

Gale was close to biting her lower lip till it bled. "Got it.""Get out."She turned and walked out.Shawn always had a sadistic way of giving her hope before driving her deeper into the hell of despair.She lied to her mother that she was living well, had Sam to accompany her, and had a high-paying job. She weaved a beautiful lie.Her mother just woke up and was still in recovery. Once she knew her true condition, Gale feared she would be heartbroken.Shawn had his hands on all of her weaknesses.Back at the workstation, Gale looked at the design draft, and her mind was blank.She designed all kinds of jewelry styles for Lovito, from necklaces to rings to bracelets. She never lacked inspiration.Only Susan's wedding ring…"Why are you in a daze?" Summer patted her shoulder and asked, "Design block?"Looking at the canvas on her desk, Summer frowned. "What the hell is this? It's old-fashioned and vulgar and completely lacks sophistication. It's like a nouveau riche ring. Gal

Gale ate another abortion prevention pill and felt a lot more at ease.The thought of going to the hospital tomorrow and continuing to donate blood to Dean ran through her mind. She had to think of a way to get out of it. Night fell.Gale lingered until it was almost midnight before entering the bedroom.The lesser time she spent with Shawn, the better.She closed the door and turned around just as Shawn came out of the bathroom after a shower.The two collided.Gale took two steps back and glanced at him.Shawn's upper body was bare with defined muscles. His lower body was still simply wrapped with a bath towel. "Sorry..."Gale panicked and dared not look at him.Why was this man always naked…She quickly walked past him, but there was water on the ground, and her feet slipped…She could not risk falling with a child.Gale tried to grab something near her in a panic. She grabbed onto something hard and pulled at it to stand firm.The thing in her hand fell to the gro

It's all a coincidence! She did not want to either!Shawn snorted coldly and said, "You think I can't see through it?"Gale was speechless. "You are free to think whatever you want. I'm going to bed."Just as she finished, Shawn lowered her head and kissed her lips.The hair on his forehead fell down and brushed against her eyes, irritating them.This time, Shawn's kiss was very soft, like a feather.Not as violent as before.Just as Gale raised her hand to push him away, he caught her and held it above her head."Do you want me to give you what you want? It would save you a lot of trouble," Shawn said coldly. "I didn't... um..."Shawn suddenly became extraordinarily violent, sucking her lips until they turned a little bloody.Gale winced in pain.The more she resisted, the harder he suppressed her.Gale had no choice but to bite him back.Both of them had the metallic taste of blood in their mouths.Shawn left her lips, put his hands behind her ears, and looked at her

It was clear they wanted Gale to give more blood to save him.Susan said hypocritically, "Gale, I'll leave it to you. Although you harmed my father, he will definitely thank you when he gets better."Gale stood there, motionless."Mr. Wood...Help me convince her."Shawn threw Gale a glance.He knew that she had done it three days in a row and how dangerous it was for her health.However, he still said, "Gale, go to draw blood.""Okay," Gale agreed.Her cheerfulness formed a strong contrast with the previous one.Susan was stunned for a while. "You...you agreed?""Yeah. Saving lives is a good deed." Gale replied, "However, before drawing blood, I have a small request."Shawn nodded deeply. "Speak.""I want to go in and have a look at the dean. I don't know how he's doing now, but I can feel better just by taking a look."Susan refused, "No."She had no idea why Gale suddenly made this request, but she knew that no one could see her father.What if... what if they found ou

It was not clear who stepped on which wire, causing one of the monitors to fall with a bang. It happened to fall on Dean's chest.Cough cough cough…The dean coughed hard. He was pretending earlier. However, how could he still pretend when something so heavy fell on him?The dean immediately opened his eyes, raised his hand, and moved the medical equipment in front of him. He shouted, "Hurry up and help me..."The machine did not look big, but it was heavy enough for him not to be able to move it alone.Susan hurried to help. "Dad!""It almost crushed me to death. If it hit my face, I would have lost my life!" the dean said.The dean's voice was full of energy, unlike someone with a cerebral hemorrhage on the verge of death.Susan winked at him anxiously.The dean reacted with hindsight and hurriedly lay down again, looking weak. "Oh, oh, it hurts, doctor... hurry up, call the doctor for me... "Susan also pretended. "Dad, you just woke up. Take it slow!""Dean, you're a

"If I didn't get wiser, I would have died.""How many bags of blood would it take to kill you?"'It would have killed my child,' Gale answered silently in his heart.She said, "I can't be a free mobile blood bank and give blood every day."Shawn bent over and got into the car.His face was very ugly along the way.The chaos of the big night turned out to be a farce.Gale said, "It's very unpleasant to be played with. It's a pity that you can't do anything to Susan. She is the apple of your eye. If it were me, I'm afraid that nine lives would not even be enough to repay for that sin." "Shut up."Gale boldly pressed his forehead. "Or, go to church on the weekend." "What's the meaning of this?""Go ask the priest if Susan has put a spell on you. The priest will exorcize it."He waved her hand away.As someone of his stature, he really would not like Susan.However, the timing of Susan's appearance was just too coincidental, and he had to be responsible.So, even if he h

"I am giving it to you. Just take it!"Gale shook her head. "This is food suitable for men. It helps you strengthen your immunity. I can't eat this."Shawn wanted to throw the bowl away.He decided to force it upon her. He picked up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Gale. "Open your mouth."Her lips closed tighter.However, she smelled the strong scent of herbs and meat. The smell caused Gale's stomach to churn, and a strong sense of nausea was surging.When Shawn was about to force feed into her mouth, Gale suddenly stood up.She covered her mouth, bent over, and retched into a trash can nearby, having no time to run to the bathroom. The sound echoed throughout the dining room.Shawn looked at her with a deep frown. "Why are you vomiting so frequently?"Tears trickled down her face, and she could not answer him at all.She finally managed to stop her nausea. As soon as she stood up and saw the soup, she turned and retched again.Shawn crossed his legs, looked at her cold
