Chapter 240

The bodyguard shook his head. "We can't ask Mr. Wood's whereabouts at will."

"Lend me the mobile phone, and I'll give him a call."

"Yes, ma'am."

When connected, Shawn was indifferent and aloof. The voice came, "What's the matter?" "It's me," Gale said.

He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "What's the matter."

Although the words were the same, his tone had softened a lot.

Gale asked, "You left me in the ward alone and didn't allow me to go out. What's the difference. between being in jail? Am I not free?"

"You need to take care of your body now.

"The person who put me in this situation and harmed my body is clearly you."

Shawn said, "Just stay there and recover well."

Gale said, "I'm bored alone. Let Summer come with me."

"No."

"Then you come with me." She raised her eyebrows. "If you can't do it, let Summer come."

After a few seconds of silence, Shawn hung up the phone.

Gale continued to peel the apple seriously.

Her technique was very good. Not a piece of apple was wasted.

The bodyguard didn't dare to disturb her, so he quietly exited and stood at the door.

Gale looked at the apple but did not eat it, but stared at the fruit knife in his hand.

Slim, sharp, and still brand new.

She kept admiring it, then got up and put the fruit knife under her pillow, quickly hiding it.

Half an hour later, there were rapid footsteps outside.

"Gale!"

Summer ran in in a hurry.

She quickly hugged Gale. "You scared me to death, how are you?"

Summer began to examine her for injuries.

Seeing her best friend, Gale broke down.

"Summer...the child is gone. I didn't protect him well. I'm sorry, you can't be a godmother, Summer... I'm really sorry. It's useless. I'm so incompetent..." she murmured.

Summer burst into tears.

She hugged Gale. "I know, I know... You're not wrong. You don't need to apologize. Gale, it's not your doing, but Shawn!"

"Yes, he murdered my child with his own hands and sent me to the operating room. I hugged him so hard, begged him so humbly, but he broke my fingers one by one..." As she recounted her tale, it still seemed fresh in her heart. She broke down more.

"Why did Shawn do this? What's motivating him? You are pregnant with a child. Anyway, he doesn't love you. He wants to divorce you and stay with Susan...

Gale replied, "It's because Shawn said he loves me."

Summer was stunned. "What?"

"It's ridiculous. He said he loved me. How absurd and ridiculous this love is!"

She still could not believe that Shawn would fall in love with her.

He loved torturing her, that she knew.

"I'm done explaining..." Gale shook her head. "Well, things have developed to this point, and no one can predict what will happen next. I hope you can stay out of it and protect yourself." Summer's attitude was firm. "We are friends, and I will not leave you alone!"

"It is because we are friends, so you have to be good. When Shawn traps me, and there is no other way for me to get things done, and I need help, you can help me do it." "What do you want me to do?"

Gale leaned on her shoulder, her voice very low, "I don't know yet. But..."

She repeated Sam's real intentions for going abroad.

Summer's face was full of shock. "So, Sam went abroad to approach the second son of the Wood family to help you discover the truth and gather evidence?"

Gale nodded. "Yes. This matter is absolutely confidential. No one should know about it."

"I know!"

"So, Summer, I need you to be aware of the big picture. Don't stand up for me, don't offend Shawn for me. These actions are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, and he will only hurt you."
