Chapter 1
In the dirty and messy backyard of Sea City mental hospital, Gale Warm stared at the meat and
bones in front of the stray dog. She had not eaten for three days and would starve to death if that
continued. In order to survive, she had to grab food from the dog’s mouth! Ever since Shawn Wood
threw her here two years ago, the only thing on her mind every single day was to survive. The
Wood family is the wealthiest family in Sea City, and Shawn was the heir to the Wood family, which
made him the most powerful man in Sea City. Gale still remembered how Shawn Wood strangled
her neck desperately, staring fiercely at her, saying, “I want you to suffer for the rest of your life. You
won’t be able to beg for death. You will pay it all back what the Warm family owes me!” The more
miserable she was, the more satisfied Shawn Wood was. Two years ago, Shawn’s father had a car
ident and was seriously injured. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to his
critical condition. The emergency doctor on duty was Gale’s father, Peter Warm. Unintentionally and
mistakenly, Peter used the wrong medicine, leading to Shawn’s father’s death due to excessive
blood loss. The police intervened and found that Gale’s father was mainly responsible for the wrong
treatment and was sentenced to life in prison. After hearing the news, Gale’s mother suffered a
cerebral infarction and went into a vegetative state. That was the day that marked the end of Gale’s
former life. She refused to believe her father would do such a thing, but no one listened to her.
Shawn ordered that she be thrown into a mental hospital like a bag of garbage, and he also ordered
that no one should take care of her, be it life or death. Since then, she has been treated far worse
than a dog. However, she vowed to live on. Her parents were still waiting for her. Only by surviving
can there be hope for the future! Suddenly, the sound of an unlocking lock interrupted her thoughts.
“Gale, someone hase to pick you up!” said the dean. Gale was stunned and asked, “Who?”
After her father was imprisoned, her rtives and friends avoided her. How could there be anyone
to pick her up? “You’ll see.” She never thought that she could leave. Without Shawn’s consent, who
would dare to save her? Gale walked out of the mental hospital with anxiety and anticipation when a
van stopped in front of her. Before she could see who it was, two or three big men jumped out of theThis material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
vehicle and covered her head with a ck sack! “Help me…” Before she could finish her sentence,
they hit her head hard, and she lost consciousness. When Gale woke up again, she found himself
tied to the big bed in the hotel, unable to move. ‘What’s going on? Where was this?’ Gale had a bad
feeling in her heart as she recalled what had happened before she was knocked out. A bald and fat
old man rubbed his hands excitedly before her. “She’s really pure. I like it!” It was only then that
Gale understood that the dean had tricked her! No one came to pick her up, they gave her to this
old man! “Don’te any closer…” She gritted her teeth and yelled, “Go away!” “Serve me well,
and I will not treat you badly…” The old man rushed over with a grinning smile while Gale retreated,
thinking of a way to escape. She hurriedly shouted, “Wait!” “What’s wrong?” Gale pretended to
smile tenderly and said, “Don’t rush. Take your time. Untie me so we can have some fun together…”
“Okay, as long as you promise not to run away.” As soon as the rope was untied, Gale kicked the
old man fatally, and he howled in pain! She took the opportunity to run away! “Catch her!” She could
only hear the sound of chasing footsteps from behind. If she were captured, she would be finished!
Panicked, Gale saw an open door and broke in without a second thought, locking it behind her. She
was gasping for breath when suddenly, a pair of hands appeared around her waist! It was dark
when a deep hoarse man’s voice rang out, “…A woman?” Gale felt his hot body and asked in a
panic, “Who are you? What do you want!” “To use you to get rid of the medicine on me.” As soon as
he finished, he picked her up and threw her on the bed. She could not see the man’s face clearly,
but she could smell the faint familiar fragrance on his body… This tone, this smell, actually
reminded her of Shawn Wood! No, it is impossible for Shawn to be here! “Stop! Let me go!” Gale
kept struggling as she cried out, “Don’t…I’m not that kind of woman…” The man leaned in and
whispered in her ear, promising, “I will marry you.” “Umm…” He pressed his lips on hers. It was only
almost dawn when the man finally fell asleep. Gale’s body was sore all over. She thought she could
escape the disaster, but she was vited nevertheless. Her life was miserable enough. When will
her luck change? Although this man was thousands of times better than the old man and promised
to marry her… Unfortunately, if she agrees to marry, she will drag him into Shawn’s line of fire with
her. She can not do that. Thinking of this, Gale picked up her clothes and quietly left the hotel. She
was a little dazed as she stood on the street. In fact, she could take the opportunity to escape, but
she knew that Sea City was Shawn’s territory, and every pass was strictly guarded. Even if she
escaped, where could she go? Moreover, mom and dad are here. There is no way she would leave
them. In the end, Gale returned to the mental hospital. She had to figure out what the dean’s
conspiracy was so that she could protect herself in the future. As soon as she arrived at the door of
the dean’s office, she heard quarrelsing from inside. “That old man took a fancy to my
daughter. How could I be willing to let him marry her? I have to hand over Gale!” “But Shawn was
the one who sent her here. How dare you do that!” “Mr. Wood still remembers her. We have to
rescue her now!” All of this was indeed the dean’s n! Gale clenched her fists angrily and was
about to enter when the dean came out with a sad face. He looked up and saw her. Before he could
celebrate, he saw the conspicuous hickey on her neck. The dean scolded, “B*tch, who exactly did
you sleep withst night? I almost got killed because of you!” Gale had no idea who that man was,
so she brushed it off as a nightmare. She coldly questioned the dean, “Why did you give me away?”
“What do you mean by giving you away? I think you are getting crazier and crazier! Quick, put her in
the ward!” Gale gave the dean a cold look. “I’ll go by myself.” … Meanwhile, at the hotel, Shawn
opened his eyes and sat up as he pinched between his eyebrows with his fingers. He looked at the
big messy bed as the memories from the night before shed in his mind. The girl’s delicate and
smooth skin, her thin voice, and her first… However, his bedside was empty. Did she run away
when he fell asleep? It waspletely different from the money-worshiping women who often
chased him. He was trickedst night, and the woman just broke in and helped him with his
problem. Shawn made a phone call. “Go and find out who was the woman who broke into my room
last night.” “Okay, Mr. Wood.” Since he promised to marry her, he will keep his promise. Even if she
ran to the ends of the earth, he would find her! Shawn rolled over and got out of bed, looking at the
empty ss at the head of the bed. The stepmother had not given up. She kept sending women to
him when she got the chance, and she even used such drugs this time. It seemed that the only
thing that could stop his stepmother was to get himself a woman. “Mr. Wood, today is Alex Wood’s
death anniversary,” the assistant reminded him when he got into the car. “Well, let’s do as before.”
Once a year, Shawn went to the cemetery to pay his respect to his father and then went to see
Gale, the woman he hated most. … In the mental hospital, a luxurious and expensive car was
parked at the entrance. A man with long legs strode in slowly. The dean almost wet his pants with
fright upon seeing Shawn. “Mr… Wood…” “Where is Gale Warm?” Shawn said indifferently. “I…I…
I’ll call her right now!” The dean ran to the ward in a hurry and threatened Gale, “It’s best to keep
your mouth shut. If he knows you are not pure, we will die!” Gale was about to answer when she
saw a tall figure appear. Shawn Wood. He is still as handsome and arrogant as she remembered,
with a noble temperament and a sense of pride. Gale immediately tensed up in fright. “Mr. Wood.”
“Are you afraid of me?” He smiled mockingly. Yes, she was afraid. She was even afraid to breathe
and dared not look at him. She lowered her head silently. Her stray hair fell on her cheek, tickling it,
and she held back and did not remove it. “Gale Warm, it’s been two years, and you don’t seem to
have changed. It’s boring.” It was clear that he had a deep and calm tone, but it came off as bone-
chilling to her. She was not as embarrassed and haggard as he imagined, which caused his
dissatisfaction. He had no idea she had made great efforts to live barely as a human in the mental
hospital. In the first few months she came in, she looked like a pathetic beast. “So, this game is
over.” Shawn narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, “You are free.” Free? That was shocking.
Gale clearly knew that he was thinking of a new way to torture her. She could not help trembling.
She stepped back, and Shawn came closer. “I will put you right where I can see you and humiliate
you at any time to relieve the hatred in my heart.” He said coldly, “From now on, Gale, you will be a
dog by my side.” Shawn turned around, and his back was tall and straight. “Keep up!” She was
puzzled. “Where to?” “Civil Affairs Bureau!”
