Chapter 16


    Chapter 16


    The ice-cold water made Gale shudder. He was crazy! Shawn pulled off her clothes with the other


    hand and scrubbed her. Soon, several red patches appeared on Gale’s body! “Shawn!” Gale could


    not hold back his anger any longer and yelled at him with water dripping down from her face. “What


    are you doing!” “Why did you allow Sam to touch you? No one can touch you, not even on your your


    shoulders!” Comment by Eunice Low: I dont understand this. Not on her shoulders? Comment by


    Rachel Lee: Sam touched her shoulders, so Shawn is saying nobody can touch her, not even a light


    touch on the shoulders. Shoulders is meant to be like menial. Shawn’s possessiveness was so


    strong that it terrified her. She belonged to him, and no one else could touch her! Gale’s eyes welled


    up as she said, “I pushed him away. He only touched me for one second!” “It doesn’t matter how


    long he touched you. No one is allowed to touch you, regardless of the duration!” Shawn scrubbed


    Gale’s shoulders fiercely, wishing to peel off all her skin. Gale resisted fiercely at first and finally


    stood still, like a puppet. She was soaked all over, and the tips of her hair were dripping with water.


    Shawn felt no better. He looked at her ashen face, and a crazy idea came to him. He wanted her!


    “Damn!” Shawn threw away the showerhead, pinched her chin, lowered her head, and kissed her


    hard! It was more of a bite rather than a kiss. Both of them were soaked wet, and Gale was forced


    to raise her head. She could not resist his kiss. Her rare obedience caused the fire in Shawn’s body


    to burn more and more for her. He almost could not restrain himself! Her body had a long-lost sense


    of familiarity! Suddenly, Gale shuddered. She ced her arms around his neck, lowered her gaze,


    and asked, “Shawn… can you give me some money?” She was really desperate. She wanted to


    treat her father’s burns. She also wanted to bribe the prisoners so that they would not be too hard


    on her father. That required money. Shawn sneered deeply and growled, “Heh, I was wondering


    why you didn’t push me away this time. It turns out you want money. Gale, you know, it’s a good


    thing I have money to spare.” Comment by Eunice Low: Did she push him? Comment by Rachel


    Lee: Sorry, this phrase I think we can change it to “this time you didn’t push me away, turns out you


    want money” “Yes, so can you give it to me?” Gale clenched her fists and forced herself to look atThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    him. He stared at the corner of her lips and asked, “How much?” “Twenty thousand dors.”


    Comment by Eunice Low: Did you conver this amount to USD? Comment by Rachel Lee: _Marked


    as resolved_ No conversion, I did 1:1, I use “dors”ter on in the story. Comment by Rachel Lee:


    _Re-opened_ Opening it up again to reply Gale dared not be greedy to ask for too much. That


    amount should be enough. She would solve the problem at hand and think of a solution for the rest


    later. To Shawn, this number was a drop in the bucket. However… “What gave you the right to ask


    for money from me?” Gale bit her lips tightly and mumbled, “I am your wife.” He shook her off in


    disgust and said, “Gale, know your ce!” Shawn lost all interest, turned around, and walked out.


    Gale’s back was leaning on the bathroom tiled wall, looking at his back. “Shawn, if you don’t give it


    to me… I’ll find Sam!” She deliberately threatened him! Actually, she knew Shawn very well. Gale


    knew what made him tick… Only by understanding his temperament could she survive in his hands!


    Sure enough, Shawn roared, “How dare you!” “You are pushing me to desperation!” Gale said


    desperately. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want the money for?” Gale gritted her


    teeth and answered, “I…I have my own reasons.” She was afraid that if Shawn knew she would use


    the money to treat her father’s wounds, he would not give it anymore. After all, he asked Susan to


    do it! Gale said again, “It’s just that I want my sry in advance. In the future, I will draw jewelry


    designs every day to pay off my debts!” She used to be the best student in the design department of


    Sea City University. Countless brands want to hire her to work for them, and her manuscript was


    used as an example for her schoolmates! Shawn hooked his lips deeply and said, “Yes.” Comment


    by Eunice Low: Did he hook her lips or his? Comment by Rachel Lee: Sorry, he hooked his lips He


    was a businessman and had never lost money in any business he entered. Seeing that he agreed,


    Gale let out a long sigh of relief. Shawn transferred the money to her on the spot. “Remember what


    you said!” She wept with joy. Dad can finally get treatment! Gale had not cared how Shawn looked


    at her at all. She wiped a handful of water from her face and went out. Shawn stood by the window,


    smoking one cigarette after another. In the beginning, he married Gale, but because he could not


    find Susan. He temporarily made her his wife to prevent Pa and Jenny from pestering him. The


    position of his beloved Mrs. Wood will be given to the woman he loves. That night, Susan really


    touched his heart. Moreover, Susan used herself to prevent him from going crazy from the drug.


    Shawn has always had clear grievances. It was already early morning when he finally put out the


    cigarette butt and was about to go to bed. Just as Shawnid down, there were fits of coughing


    from outside. The coughs sounded every three or five minutes and were apanied by sniffling,


    coughing, and tossing sounds. It was more punctual than an rm clock. He has always been a


    light sleeper and needs an extremely quiet environment. How could he sleep if Gale continued to


    cough like that? Shawn rolled over, got out of bed, and opened the door angrily. “Gale.” No


    movement. He raised his voice and yelled, “Gale!” “Well…” She responded weakly, trying her best


    to open her eyes, but she could not. Only then had Shawn realized that her cheeks were red, but


    her lips were pale. He reached out and touched it to find her burning up. Gale had a feverte at


    night. This woman’s body… was really weak! Shawn said with a cold face, “Get up. Don’t die at my


    door.” She turned over, and tugged on his trouser legs, acting like a small kitten. “Dizzy,


    ufortable…” She coughed violently again. She murmured again, “Hug me. I don’t wanna take


    medicine… bitter… very bitter.” Gale was so sick that she imagined she was a child. Every time she


    caught a cold, her mother would hold her and coax her to drink the medicine one by one. Shawn


    looked at her deeply. After a few seconds, he bent over to pick her up and walked into the bedroom.


    He carelessly ced a fever-reducing patch on her and threw her on the sofa. Gale’s mouth was


    talking in her sleep, but Shawn could not hear it clearly, so he shouted in annoyance, “Shut up!” She


    shook her shoulders and slowly became quiet. Shawn took a deep breath and left. A thud came


    from behind him. Gale fell straight off the sofa. “Stupid woman!” The next day, Gale turned over and


    hugged the pillow habitually but found that the pillow seemed to be… A little hard? She reached out


    and pressed it and found it was quite stic. Wait, this does not seem to be her pillow. Who is it?


    Gale was about to open her eyes in a daze when she heard Shawn’s voiceing from above her


    head. “Have you touched enough?” God, was this a dream? She raised her head and was met with


    that handsome face. “What…” Gale screamed and almost rolled off the bed in fright. Shawn’s face


    was ashen. He stretched out his hand and pulled her back into his arms. “Stupid woman, do you


    want to fall again!” Gale’s face was full of doubts. “I… how did I end up sleeping in your bed?” “You


    were sleepwalking.”
