She reluctantly looked at her mother on the bed as she exited the room.
"Your mother's current condition is quite stable," The doctor said, "If nothing unexpected happens, she can be transferred to the regular wards next
week."
"What if something happens?"
"Then..."
"I'm sorry, I'm being too negative," Gale answered, "If it goes smoothly, how much can my mother recover?"
The doctor thought about it, "The patient's already quite old. On top of that, she didn't have the special medicine early on, so the effects were
diminished. It's quite hopeful if she properly recuperates in the future." Gale nodded.
The phone in her pocket was constantly buzzing, but she never bothered to look at it.

Gale walked out of the nursing home, and just as she was about to hail a taxi, a Mercedes drove over.
It looked a little familiar.
She stopped and looked at the car.
The car stopped, and the people who got out of the car were actually...
Lucas and Paula!
Gale was shocked. Why were they there?!
"Lucas, we're here," Paula said, "Shawn had Gale's mother transferred here. The fees are quite expensive. He's quite willing to spend."
"Let's go inside for a look."
"Okay," Paula answered, helping Lucas inside.
"Wait!" Gale panicked as she walked over from behind a tree, "You can talk to me if you need anything!"
Lucas had a frown on his face when they saw there, "You're here. That's good, it saves some effort."
"Yes, I'm here. Don't look for my mother, she's still unconscious, and she can't be stressed!"
She was incredibly alarmed and anxious.
Nothing could happen to her mother anymore.
Lucas looked at her with an expression of disgust and impatience, "I keep remembering that poor child when I see you... Gale, you're useless! You
didn't manage to keep such an important child!"
Before this, her heart would feel nothing no matter how Lucas scolded her.
Yet, Gale had found out that the child really was part of the Wood family. It really made her suffer hearing those words.
She had mixed feelings.
Lucas had been right the whole time. That child really was a Wood.
Thinking about that, Gale looked at Paula.
"W-what are you looking at me for?" Paula panicked a little at Gale's expression, "I didn't touch your child! I even brought you to the hospital for a
full body checkup. I spent quite a lot of money!"

"
"Yes," Paula admitted, "Are you still trying to steal the test tube? Actually, the test tube you stole was fake. I always kept the actual one with me!"
"So, you knew that the child was Shawn's."
"Of course I knew," Paula had a strange look on her face, "Didn't you know that the child was Shawn's? Haha, I doubt you'd have the guts to cheat!"
Gale smiled.
As she smiled, she had tears in the eyes, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why?"
Paula was even more incredulous, "Isn't this something everyone knows? You married
Shawn and had his child. The timing was all perfect. Why did I need to tell you?!"
Lucas asked, "What? Paula, you did a paternity test behind my back?"
"Yes," Paula smiled awkwardly, "I-I did it just to be safe. What if the child wasn't really one of ours? Then, wouldn't we have allowed Gale to trick all
of us?!"
Lucas had a dark look on his face, "Nonsense."
