Chapter 423
Lucas was full of sadness. “Shawn, this…”
“Grandpa, you go back first.”
“I only have one last thing to ask you. Must she be the one? It can’t be other women?” Lucas said.
Shawn replied slowly, “I only want Gale, and no one is her, nor can she replace her.”
Lucas nodded, looking thoughtful, before walking slowly on crutches.
Gale stood in the middle of the master bedroom, looked at the room full of things, and finally only took the bag she

Gale went downstairs with her bag on her back while Shawn was still standing there waiting for her. “Are you really
going?”
“Do you think I’m joking with you?”
She walked straight past him with a gust of wind, her dress fluttering.
Her waist tightened when she was about to reach the door, and Shawn hugged her forcefully from behind.

He wanted to see her but was afraid.
Gale would have divorce hanging on her lips every time they met.
“It turns out that you also dreamed about that child. But you were so determined when you sent me to the
operating room,” Gale replied.
“I didn’t know at the time it was ours…
Gale closed her eyes and yelled, “But that’s my child! If you love me, you should accept my child. I just wanted you
