He said quietly, "Don't answer."However, she shook her head."Just relax and wait for the surgery. The doctor is the best cardiac specialist in Sea City, and this surgery is a piece of cake to him. There won't be any risks. Don't frighten yourself," Gale said."Any surgery carries risks. It's never completely safe.""It's just placing a stent."Matthew sighed. "I'm already old... When I was young, I drank and stayed up late to socialize. My body has long deteriorated. With my poor health, I'm afraid this might be it for me.""You're overthinking it. I asked the doctor, and the success rate would be very high. It's not considered a major surgery," Gale replied.Nevertheless, the treatment costs were very high. However, money was no issue for her, so it was inconsequential.On the other end, Heather's voice came through. "But, a family member needs to come to sign the surgery consent form and have a pre-surgery discussion... If Gale doesn't come, how can the doctor proceed with

He wanted to live in his delusion, hoping his illusion of their love could last a day longer. Perhaps, after some time, Gale's answer would be the one he wanted, and then he would ask her again!At this moment, Shawn found himself in a state of confusion. He did not know if Gale loved him or Aurum. It was like she never really let him go, but at the same time, she had completely moved on from him.Gale smiled and said, "Shawn, are you lacking confidence in yourself now?""Before, I was very confident, even bordering on arrogance. But now..."Falling in love with someone makes you cautious. Why? Because you are afraid of losing them.Gale said, "Actually, I've already thought of how to answer you. My answer is already in my heart. Are you sure you don't want to hear it now?"Shawn looked at her for a few seconds and then averted his gaze, saying, "Mmm."He would not listen. He could not listen. He rarely was so flustered and uncertain. He quickly softens his tone. "Gale, I'm go

"Don't listen to your daddy. I definitely didn't kick the blanket. I slept just fine. It was him who couldn't sleep and blamed me for it." Gale quickly defended herself.She even nudged Shawn's arm, saying, "Didn't you say you didn't need my sleep sachet, and you could sleep just fine by cuddling me? So why couldn't you sleep last night? It seems like you were lying to me?""Gale, you know why I couldn't sleep."She pursed her lips. "I understand, but you brought it upon yourself. Don't blame me! Explain to Nicole that I didn't kick the blanket!""Alright, alright. Nicole, Mommy didn't kick the blanket."Nicole was speechless. How could she accept his lame explanation?It felt like Shawn was pressured to deny it!Nicole nodded. "Oh, got it. Daddy listens to Mommy. Daddy is henpecked."Gale almost choked. "Where did you learn that word?""From my big brother."Ah, it was from Joshua! That made sense! He was the one who would say something like that!Shawn did not understand

Shawn pursed his lips, his face looking very displeased. Throughout the drive, he seemed rather moody and was not very talkative.Upon reaching the kindergarten, Nicole waved and said, "Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy."She got out of the car and headed toward her classroom but seemed to suddenly forget something. She ran back quickly.Gale lowered the car window and said, "Is there something else, Nicole?""Forget to tell you, Mommy, I also want to go see my grandma. I've never met her, and she doesn't know me. Why haven't you arranged for me to meet Grandma?" Nicole said, looking up.Gale smiled. "I didn't think about it. I'm sorry, Nicole. We'll go see Grandma this weekend, okay?"Nicole nodded, content. "Okay, bye!"She turned around and trotted back to her classroom.Watching Nicole's retreating figure, Gale quickly began planning the meeting in her mind. She did not want to take only Nicole to meet Mary. Joshua should come along too. After some thought, Gale came up with a good

She was both angry and amused. If she had known that she needed to provide 'compensation', she would have preferred to take a taxi. Before getting out of the car, Shawn reminded her, "If you need anything, call me. Don't handle everything on your own.""I know," she replied."Don't let yourself be wronged either. I can't bear to see you wronged. They don't have the right to make you feel that way," Shawn said.Gale nodded. She felt full of strength. A good spouse can indeed alleviate most of life's hardships.When she arrived at the door of the ward, Gale heard Heather yelling from inside, "Why are you so useless? You couldn't even save our daughter, and now you're lying here, making me take care of you!""If it weren't for Mr. Lefting's kindness, we would be sleeping on the streets! Do you know how expensive these medicines are? They're all imported!""Oh, Matthew, what kind of bad luck did I have in my previous life? I've agreed to live in the shadows as an insignificant person
