Chapter 759
He was incredibly excited. “This is for mommy, this is for Nicole. These are my clothes…”
Very quickly, his bag was stuffed full.
After that, all there was left was for Aurum to get him!
Yet, Gale knew nothing about it.
After the day of the surgery was set, the doctors and nurses started to pay very frequent visits.
Nicole needed a lot of checkups before her surgery. Even though the nurses were very attentive,
Gale was still with Nicole the whole time.
Shawn was not idle either. As the bone marrow donor, he needed a lot of nutrients, especially iron.
So he needed to eat a lot of red meat.
There were some things that he would never touch before that, but he would force himself to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtswallow them for the iron.
Not only that, Shawn needed injections to help with the transplant.
At night, Nicole was already asleep.
Gale tucked Nicole in, looking at the needle marks on Nicole’s arm. Gale teared up.
Everything would be done very soon.
Nicole would be a healthy, normal child.
“Don’t worry. The surgery will be fine.” Shawn gently put his arm on her shoulder. “You’ve been busy the whole day.
Get some rest.”
Gale nodded, looking into his eyes. “You’ve been working hard too.”
The human heart was still made of flesh.
Even though she was still on guard against Shawn and still hated him, unable to truly love him, she still felt her
heart move when she saw him around the hospital every day, taking injections and eating things that made him
frown at the smell.
Gale was not cold–hearted.
Hatred was hatred. Love was love.
She finally noticed that love and hatred could coexist, even if they were conflicting emotions.
Shawn said, “For Nicole, it’s all worth it. There’s nothing difficult about it. As long as she is fine, then it’s good.”
He could also feel that Gale was slowly dropping her aloofness toward him.
It was a good sign.
Looking into her eyes, there was slowly some warmth in them. It was better than anything to him.
Gale acknowledged it, no longer saying anything as she went to shower and lie down.
Initially, she was not used to sleeping in that small bed, but Gale no longer cared that much.
Habits were really something scary.
She lay down by her side, shutting her eyes, and quickly started to fall asleep because she was too tired.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn finished showering and lay down as well. The bed sank slightly.
He noticed it and smiled. “I’ve been eating too well every day. I gained a few kilos. If this continues, I’ll be fat by the
time Nicole is out of the hospital.”
It was rare to see Shawn talking about himself like that.
Gale still had her eyes shut, but she answered, “It won’t be so easy for you to lose all that muscle.”
“Will you not like me anymore if I become fat?”
“It’s not like I like you right now.”
Shawn lay down. “Then what do you like?”
Gale said, “Sleep, stop talking.”
“Okay.”
He answered, but he reached out to pull her waist into his embrace.
Gale’s back was on his chest and could feel the moisture on his body.
She moved.
“Galey…” Shawn’s breathing became rough. “Don’t move. I can’t stand it.”
Her sleepiness disappeared when he said that.
