Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 265

He said, “Thankfully, you didn’t lose.”

Shawn pulled up her sleeves and checked all around, making sure she was not injured. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

If Gale lost and Gale’s face was injured, he still would not be able to do anything to Susan. Then he would really not know what to do.

On the way, he had been worried that Gale would lose. Thankfully, Gale did not lose.

Gale was stunned, not understanding what Shawn meant.

She pulled her hand away and avoided his touch. “Since I can’t beat her up today, I won’t let her off if I see Susan again!”

“Leave her to me, don’t interfere.”

Gale snorted, “Shawn, don’t you keep insisting that you love me? Why are you still siding with Susan when it comes to her and me?!”

He looked like he was chasing Susan away, but he was actually protecting Susan!

“Are you jealous?” Shawn raised an eyebrow and asked.

Gale was stunned again.

She… was jealous?

Shawn clearly said that he loved her, but between her and Susan, he would always treat Susan well.

In truth, Gale was actually unhappy with it.

Why did that man’s actions not reflect his words?

Did love not mean he was supposed to only side with her?

“I’m not. You can keep on siding with Susan. It has nothing to do with me!” Gale denied.

She was about to turn away after she said that.

Shawn reached out and pulled her into his arms. “I need to be responsible for Susan. It’s what I owe her. I hope you can understand.”

Gale was incredibly frustrated. “Why do I need to understand you? If my mother doesn’t survive this

surgery, Susan and I will be mortal enemies! We won’t be able to live in the same world!”

She did not know what kind of past Shawn had with

Susan and did not want to care.

After a few long hours, the light on the operating theater finally dimmed.

Gale immediately walked forward. “Doctor, how is my mother?!”

The doctor looked exhausted and said, “She’s managed to

avoid danger for now. She needs to be transferred to the ICU and be monitored.”

“So… she could get worse at any moment?”

“We’ll treat her first. There shouldn’t be any problems.”

Gale was still incredibly anxious.

The nurse pushed Wendy’s bed out. Gale wanted to cry looking at Wendy with an oxygen mask on and her body. full of tubes, looking incredibly frail.

What did Susan say to get her mother to that state?!

She needed to find out what they talked about!

“Let’s go back.” Shawn stood behind her. “You haven’t recovered completely yet.”

Gale stood at the entrance of the ICU, not saying anything. She did not want to move either.

Shawn picked her right up and brought her away.

She was quiet the whole journey. She was not antagonistic and did not scold anyone. She was just completely silent.

Shawn was not used to that, feeling like she was not there. He held her hand tightly the whole way.

“Just stop here.” The car stopped at the entrance. “I will go back myself.”

Shawn did not say anything but followed her quietly.

He knew she was angry and sad.

However, he could not touch Susan.

The corridor was incredibly quiet. Gale felt it was a little strange. Where were the guards and nurses? Why could she not see anyone around?
