    Chapter 17


    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 coldst 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 dors 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 y the game and win them over. One day, she will be stronger! That day will


    come! After leaving the prison, Gale went to the hospital. “Gale?” “Yes.” The doctor asked


    formically, “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 youThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    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 waste because she had to go to the prison, so she quickly replied, Comment by


    Eunice Low: She didnt dy going to the prison? Comment by Rachel Lee: Gale knew that she has


    been dyed, 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 dors. How could she ever think


    about romance? Tears shed 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 waste 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. Pa 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 ck silk pajamas,


    leaning against the door framezily. “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, “Pa 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 toe back sote?” “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 thepany, 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.”
