Chapter 291
"What exactly happened to you?" Shawn asked, "If something happened, tell me. Stop crying. It's unbecoming!"Gale sniffed and said, "I'll tell you, it's just that I don't know where to start.""Tell me the first thing that comes to mind!"Gale wiped her tears haphazardly. "Shawn, what happened between you and Susan?""Why are you asking that?""Answer me." Gale looked him in the eyes. "It's very important."Shawn averted his gaze. "I'll deal with what happened between the two of us. You don't have to bother."As he said that, he turned around to leave.Gale grabbed his sleeve, continuing, "I know, even if you don't want to say it. The night before you came to get me from the mental hospital, something happened between you and Susan in a hotel, right?"Shawn's gaze turned sharp. "How do you know this?"Gale continued, "That night, you were drugged. You were alone in your room when Susan suddenly barged in, running away from someone. In the darkness, you slept together.""The

"So, so…The child in your belly…" Shawn said in a hoarse voice.Gale answered hopelessly, "It was yours! Shawn, it was your child. It was our child!"He looked like he had been violently punched as he staggered. He could not maintain his balance as he knelt down on the ground with a thud, slamming his fists on the ground violently. His child…What did he do?!"That night with you was the only time I've been touched. I've always been completely clean other than that! I wanted that child so much. I did everything I could to protect the child, to bring the child to this world… Yet, Shawn, what did you do?! How did you hurt the two of us?!" Gale said."I jumped into the lake, and the child was fine. Susan tried to harm me, pushing me down the stairs, and the child was fine. Disaster after disaster, the child and I managed to survive all of them. Who would have expected that, in the end, the child would die because of you!"Gale shouted in a heartbroken tone, "Shawn, you killed our

Shawn did not answer."Alright, I want to personally witness Susan's world completely crumbling in her eyes! Everything she took from me, she'll pay it back many times over!""And you." Gale looked at Shawn and said, "You should be in ten thousand times more pain than me! If the child were still here, we would clearly still have a chance at reconciliation…"All there was left at that moment was just hatred and pain.Gratitude and resentment, love and hatred, right and wrong…In the end, the most innocent one had been that unborn child."Why do you… toy with me like this? In the end, I was wrong the whole time," Shawn mumbled to himself.Shawn turned around, facing his back to Gale.At that moment, he did not dare to face Gale.The pain in his heart, the anger, and the self-resentment; the only thing he could do was to accept it slowly.He deserved it. He did it to himself!Gale had already run out of tears. She found that it was hard even to cry when a person was at the limi

Susan finally reacted, nodding. "That's right. You're already so old. Could it be that you can't even tell the difference?!"The father and daughter pair felt an intense sense of danger.Why would Mr. Wood suddenly ask the old man to point out something like that for no reason?!They could not let Mr. Wood discover that Gale had been the woman from that night… Otherwise, everything they had done during that period of time, everything they managed to get, would go up in smoke. They would lose everything!The old man was stunned.Shawn grabbed his collar even more forcefully. "Do you know who you should be listening to?"His eyes were incredibly sharp, and the old man was afraid of who he was, so the old man nodded. "Of course, Mr. Wood. I'll listen to you. I'll naturally obey whatever you ask for!""Then answer me, was it her or her?!"Susan wanted to say something, but Shawn shot a look, and the guards immediately understood, walking forward to cover her mouth.Gale looked at

Saying that, the dean suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you're right. It was all my plan! Mr. Wood, I had Susan do all of this. Don't blame her. It's all my fault!"Even at that moment, the dean still hoped that he could protect Susan.Yet, it was pointless.Shawn was as cold as ice. "Since you want to admit your wrongdoings so much, I'll grant you your wish.""Mr. Wood…"Shawn had a cruel smirk on his lips. "You can go back to the mental hospital. However, you can forget about being the dean. You're going back as a patient."The dean widened his eyes!He had acted like a king at the mental hospital for so long, and he had offended so many of the patients inside.If he went inside, he would be skinned alive. They would eat him alive!They would not even leave behind any bones!Shawn said, "Take him away. Also, cripple his limbs!""Yes, Mr. Wood."The dean cried out in agony as his whole body shuddered. His pants started to drip.He had been so scared he

Susan would never have expected that she lost because of that ring.She would never find out either.Gale turned around and gave Shawn the ring. "Yours."His hands remained by his sides."Give it to the future Mrs. Wood. I still remember how little my mother's bracelet was worth in the charity auction…" Gale said.Suddenly, Shawn reached out and pulled her into your arms. He was very strong and had his arms tightly around her. It was as if he wanted to fuse her into his own body."You are Mrs. Wood. It's always been you and will forever be you. There's no one else!" Shawn said in a low voice. The person he had been bitterly looking for was Gale!It was not Susan!His love and adoration had been given to the wrong person!"Gale, you are the person I was looking for. You were the person I wanted to marry. That night, I told you that I would marry you. I keep to my word. It's just that I found the wrong person. Susan took your place."Shawn panicked. As he spoke, his voice t

"Have you? After that night, during all these days we've spent together, has your heart ever beat for me?" Shawn asked.She was silent."If you don't answer, I'll see it as a silent acknowledgment that you… love me."Gale pursed her lips, forcing out an ugly smile. "Does that even matter? If you love me and I love you, would we be able to be together?""I want to know your answer."As long as she said that she loved him, then he would be able to jump into the fire, ignoring everything else!Shawn's eyes were locked on her. "You've had feelings for me before, Gale. I refuse to believe that your heart is made of stone. You tried so hard to protect the child. It's because you developed feelings for me that night, right?""No!"Shawn said, "Yes! Even though you've never said it, I could tell that you've been waiting for the man from that night to appear. You wanted the man to take you away, and he gave you hope! Now, I'm the man from that night!"Gale answered, "The one I love is

Susan lay on the ground, covered in blood, at the lowest end of the stairs. She was not moving at all but was still breathing upon closer inspection.Shawn walked over and stopped in front of her.The more he hated himself, the more he hated Susan!That woman ruined everything he had!"M…Mr. Wood…" Susan raised her head slowly and said, "Let me go… I…I really do know… that I was wrong now…""You can't take it anymore?""I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken Gale's place. I lied to you and hide things from you…"Shawn's eyes were cold. "Susan, this is just the start!"There was still a lot of torture waiting for Susan!He wanted Susan to think that death was mercy!"I…I was blinded by greed. I had a lapse in judgment, which is why I took Gale's place. I was wrong. Mr. Wood, you're a noble person. Please spare me!" Susan said weakly."Is taking Gale's place the only thing you did?!"Susan shuddered, not daring to say anything.Looking at that woman, Shawn wanted nothing more t
