Chapter 260

Wendy looked at her. "Am I dreaming? Are you really here?"

Gale held her hand and said, "I'm really here, Mom. I came to see you. I miss you so much."

Only in front of her mother would she act like a little girl. Only then could she be herself, not needing to be strong.

"Gale..." Wendy's tears constantly fell.

"Mom, why are you crying? Aren't I fine?"

Wendy sat up from the bed. "You stupid child. You only ever tell me the good things. How much have you suffered before?"

Gale bit her lips. "Mom, everything will be better."

Susan had been there before and had told Wendy all about Gale. Both of them knew exactly what had been going on.

However, neither of them brought it up.

What would come from doing that?

Were they supposed to hug each other and cry?

"I know you want to make me happy, but..."

How could Shawn ever treat her well?!

CLIM

The most important thing for a woman was her purity and her marriage. Both of those had been destroyed by Shawn!

"Mom, let's not talk about all of that. I can face it, don't worry. You just need to focus on recovering. Wait until you can see dad again," Gale said.

"Your dad and I have become burdens for you.'

"How could that be? As long as both of you are around, I'll always be your child. I can act like a kid in front of you.

Wendy hesitated for a few moments before she asked, "That girl said..."

"Ignore her. Don't believe what she says. Mom, you have to trust me," Gale said.

Even if Gale lied, it was with good intentions.

Susan would only provoke Wendy!

Wendy was a bit fatigued. She started to get tired after talking for a while. She got distracted, and her eyes

started to dull.

After Gale got Wendy to sleep, she grabbed her phone and walked out of the room.

In the corridor, she called Shawn.

He quickly answered, "Hello, what is it?"

"I'm with my mom."

"I know."

Shawn knew all about her movements.

"When are you going to give my mother the medicine? Her condition is getting worse. It can't keep dragging on,

II Gale asked.

Medicine was very expensive, and only after Shawn's approval would the doctor provide it.

She borrowed money from Sam to pay the fees, but the hospital rejected it.

Shawn's voice was plain. "You know what to do for me to agree to help her."

"Shawn, our blood feud is because of your father and my father's grudges. The death of the child is between you and me. My mother has been a pitiful and innocent woman from the start! Can't you let her off?!"

"Her fate is in your hands, not mine."

Gale clenched her teeth. "All you do is threaten me!"

"I'm just giving you a chance. Normal people aren't even worth my threats," Shawn answered.

He wanted her to lower her head. He wanted her to give in. He wanted her obedience and her submission.

Shawn said, "Think about it before you call me again. I'll

answer you at any time."

After that, he hung up.

Gale clutched her phone as she looked outside the window and took deep breaths.

After a few minutes, she answered again.

"Have you thought about it?" Shawn's tone was light.

"Yes."

"What's your answer?"

Gale said, "I won't divorce you. I'll stay by your side."

"Good. See, it's actually something so simple," Shawn said in a much gentler tone.

"I

"Make sure my mom gets the medicine today."

"Not a problem."

Shawn's words were too effective.

With one order, it was immediately done.
