Gale could not believe it even after hearing his answer. “Really?”
Shawn asked, “Why would I lie to you?" Made sense. How could she
be worth lying for? Gale got up, frightened. She actually sleepwalked to
Shawn's bed. It was very lucky he had not thrown her down! However,
did he not notice it at all? “What are you dawdling for? Hurry up,”
Shawn reprimanded her deeply, interrupting her thoughts. Gale nodded
in response, but after taking two steps, she felt very dizzy. Her throat
was also dry and sore. She had a cold. She must have caught a cold
last night. However, Gale could not care less as she still had to go to
prison. She had to ask Shawn if she could leave. Otherwise, he would
be angry if he could not find her. What could be the reason for the
leave? Just when Gale was racking her brains, Shawn said, “Go to the
hospital to see a doctor, so you won't infect me!” She happily replied,
“Okay!” For the first time, Gale wished she had gotten sick sooner. After
leaving Temperley Hall, she first went to the prison. Peter had
recovered quite a bit, but his injuries were still serious. He could not
move in bed and needed assistance to get changed every day. Peter
said, “Gale, this family is dragging you down...If I disowned you as my
daughter, will Shawn let you go?” “Dad, you will always be my dad.”
“I've thought about dying, so Shawn's grievances may dissipate.
However, you and Mom are still here. If I die, Shawn will only torture
you even more.” Gale smiled and said, “I'm doing pretty well, don’t
worry about it.” She could not stay long. She paid ten thousand dollars
for medical expenses and stuffed the remaining ten thousand into an
envelope. Gale said, “I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Please take
care of my dad in the future.” It was obvious that these people stood by
and let Susan harm her father. She knew she had to learn to play the
game and win them over. One day, she will become stronger! That day
will come! After leaving the prison, Gale went to the hospital. “Gale?”
“Yes.” The doctor asked formulaically, “What's wrong?" “I have a cold,
cough, sore throat and runny nose.” “Do you have a fever?” Gale
touched her forehead and said, “No.” The doctor was about to
prescribe medicine when he asked casually, “Have you had any other
symptoms recently?” She thought for a while before answering, “I drank
some seafood soup the other day and felt sick and vomited.” “Do you
have a boyfriend?” Gale replied in a low voice, “I...I'm married.”
However, Shawn never touched her. Only the man that night... The
doctor ordered a bunch of tubes and handed them to her. “Next.” Gale
looked around and found that it was for a blood test and a pregnancy
test. Comment by Eunice Low: she took a blood test...and gynecology?
Comment by Rachel Lee: Gale looked around and found blood and
gynaecology tests. She asked, “Doctor, are you mistaken? I just have a
cold. Why do I need to take a blood test..." “Are you the doctor?” Gale
said directly, “I have no money.” “Mr. Wood has already paid.” Since
Shawn had paid for it, she might as well get it. Anyway, he had too
much money to spend! It only took half an hour for the results of the
examination. However, Shawn called her before the thirty minutes were
up. “Are you dead? What's taking you so long?” Gale knew she was
late because she had to go to the prison, so she quickly replied,
Comment by Eunice Low: She didnt delay going to the prison?
Comment by Rachel Lee: Gale knew that she has been delayed, since
she went to the prison for some time, “I'm on my way.” “Hurry!” Before
she could wait for the results of the examination, she hurried back to
the Wood Group headquarters. Since it was her first day in the jewelry
department, she had a lot of work to do. She stayed overtime until the
dead of the night to finish her work. She walked out of the office and
saw an empty mineral water bottle discarded on the side of the road.
Gale walked over quickly and bent over to pick it up. A pair of shiny
leather shoes appeared beside her. Sam was full of heartache. “Gale, I
can’t imagine how much suffering you had suffered over the years...I
was a hero who could save you, but I became a treacherous scumbag.”
She said expressionlessly, “Let me go. Carson, you're blocking my
way.” Gale would still be moved by such loving words if it was two
years ago. However, her dignity could be robbed for merely twenty
thousand dollars. How could she ever think about romance? Tears
flashed in Sam's eyes. “I found out about your past, and it took me a
long time to read those two pages of information... Every word is a stab
in my heart!” Gale still looked cold. “Those are all things in the past.
You don't need to pretend now.” “No, I can still make up for it!" Gale
asked, “Oh, who do you think you are? Can you fight against Shawn?
You can’t even fight against your father!” When Sam heard this, he
stepped forward, but Gale immediately stepped back, “Don't touch me!”
She did not want to be tortured by Shawn in the bathroom again. Her
skin was still raw from the night before. Sam said, “I know it will be
difficult, but I will try my best. Gale, do you believe me?" “I believe it,
but I don’t need you anymore.” At this moment, Gale was relieved. She
believed that Sam's father had arranged for him to go abroad. He had
not run away and was kept in the dark. It was late by the time Gale
returned to Temperley Hall. She saw a bowl of soup on the table. “Mrs.
Gale, Mr. Wood ordered you to finish the soup,” the housekeeper
reminded. Gale's little face frowned. Paula was so busy, but she kept
sending soup every day! Today's soup was a thick chicken soup, and
she really didn’t have any appetite. She pinched her nose and drank it
in one breath as though she was drinking the most bitter broth.
Unfortunately, Gale overestimated himself. “Yuck...” She ran to the
bathroom again and vomited. After vomiting, Gale looked at her pale
face in the mirror. “What's wrong?’ Is there something wrong with her
stomach? Still... Was she pregnant? In the mirror, another face
suddenly appeared. Shawn was wearing black silk pajamas, leaning
against the door frame lazily. “Did you vomit again?” She wiped the
corners of her mouth and answered, “Yes.” “Does it taste that bad?”
Gale replied, “A little bit. I don't like soup. It's greasy.” Shawn sneered
deeply and said, “Paula uses top-quality ingredients, and it took her a
long time to simmer just to get such a bowl.” “You can give it to others. I
am undeserving of this.” She turned on the faucet and washed her
face, sobering up a bit. Shawn looked at her deeply and said, “Who
allowed you to come back so late?” “I was working overtime.” Gale
looked back at him and said, “Joe and I had an afternoon meeting.”
“Gale, do you think you can use Joe as a shield for everything in the
future?” “I worked overtime at the company, and then I walked back.”
Shawn narrowed his eyes and said, “You couldn't walk faster?” Gale
could not help but retort, "I was exhausted after a day's work, and I had
to walk ten kilometers. You should consider it a blessing I didn’t die on
the way back. How fast were you expecting me to walk?” Shawn
replied, “Gale, you won't die on the road. You will only die in my hands.”
