Chapter 337
He knew that his marriage with Gale would only face even more opposition from the Wood family if he
gave in to his grandfather!
So, he could not retreat. He had to win!
Looking at the night sky out the window, Shawn thought about a perfect and happy marriage. He felt
that a family blessing was needed for it.
Yes, he would get it for Gale.
The day would come.
At eight the next day, gentle footsteps could be heard outside the ward, just like what Shawn wanted.
Gale was there.
He could immediately tell that it was her from the footsteps.
However, Gale stood at the door, hesitating for a long time before she opened it.
She had just woken up when she was sent here by the driver. No one told her anything the whole way.
She did not know what had happened at all.

One would not let her get close to Shawn.
The other insisted on seeing her.
“Come in. What are you waiting for outside?” Shawn’s voice was heard. “Do you need me to come and
get you?”
Gale hurried inside.
He could not move!
Shawn looked at her the whole time. His gaze followed wherever she went.
“Why did you ask me here so early in the morning? There are doctors and nurses around. You don’t
need me at all,” Gale said plainly.
She needed to be cold. She could not be moved by Shawn’s warmth.
“I wanted to see you.”
“Oh.”
Gale stood at the edge of the bed. Her eyes wandered all over, refusing to look at him.
Shawn narrowed his eyes at her actions. “What did Grandpa tell you?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t lie to me.”
“There really was nothing. I’ve been in Temperley Hall the whole time,” Gale answered.
Shawn said, “I’ll let you go back to the company and get you your freedom. Right now…”
He just wanted her at his side.
However, Shawn did not say that.
He could feel that Gale had her defenses up around him.
Shawn wondered how hard that woman’s heart was. He almost lost his life for her, was she not
touched at all?
Shawn said nothing, and the room fell into silence.
It was so quiet that they could hear the wind blowing outside.
Fiona appeared to break the silence. “Mr. Wood, this is today’s… Ma’am, you’re here.”
“Yes, Ms. Fiona.”
“That’s great. You can have breakfast together. Ma’am, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Mr.
Wood!” Fiona said.

Gale set up the breakfast and offered him the cutlery.
Shawn did not take it.
She waved it around.
“You still hate me, right?” Shawn said.
“Yes.
“How do I make you not hate me?”
Gale answered, “You’d have to bring that child back.”
It was impossible.
How could the dead be brought back?
Gale was trying to crush any hope he had.
“We can have another…”
Shawn was interrupted by Gale before he could finish. “Yes, I can have another and give birth to
another, but that child will never return.”
She was emotional, and her voice was raised unconsciously.
