    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 wille! 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 you


    have a boyfriend?” Gale replied in a low voice, “I…I’m married.” However, Shawn never touched her.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    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.”
