Chapter 550
Gale asked, “Are you Zoe?”
Zoe smiled and said, “Yes, Mr. Lefting already let me know earlier. I have been here since this morning. I’ve been
waiting for you!”
Zoe used to be the Lefting family’s Nanny and had taken care of Aurum.
Two years ago, she returned home due to her health problems.
Aurum trusted her a lot and left Gale to her.
It was both because Zoe was experienced and also because Zoe had never liked to gossip when she was working
with the Lefting family. She was someone reliable.
“Ms. Warm, I’ve prepared some food for you. I wonder if you’ll like it. I even made some soup. Since you’re with a
child and you sat in the car for so long, you should nourish yourself,” Zoe said.

Zoe smiled and said, “Mr. Lefting said you were easy to get along with. Looks like
that’s true.”
Zoe knew her place, and did things very quickly. She never asked anything she did
not need to.
Zoe said, “Thanks to you, Mr. Lefting fixed up this old home of mine. It will be more comfortable. Mr. Lefting also
bought a place in the city. If you can’t get used to staying here, you can move into the city at any time.”
Gale nodded. “Alright.”
She did not ask what city it was or what the village was called. None of that was important. The important thing was
a brand new life for her as well as her children. Jumping into the sea had taxed her body, so Gale needed to rest up
properly. Gale remembered Dr. Lighton’s words very clearly. From that day on, she would lie down in bed to nurse
her health. She could not afford to tax her body anymore! Nothing in Sea City concerned her anymore. As for what
happened after she jumped into the sea, she would not think about it. All she wanted was to live a happy life and for
her children to be healthy!
At the hospital in Sea City, Shawn had still not woken up after three days.
Doctors and specialists came in in waves, and after checking on all of his vitals, all of them just said one thing.
“He just doesn’t want to wake up.” Everyone knew why Shawn was not waking up. He could not accept Gale’s
death. He could not bear to face the loneliness. He had lost the love of his life. To Shawn, it was a devastating blow.
Lucas sat next to his bed, and his hair was completely white. He lost all the spirit he used to have. “Shawn, you’re
the only one left for the Wood family. If anything happens to you, this family is ruined. It won’t be able to hold on,”
Lucas said tearfully.
“Do you really want this pile of old bones to come out of retirement to take over the Wood Group? Who will take
over I do go? Is the Wood family going to end here?”
Lucas never expected that the Wood family would end up like this.
His son had been killed by his daughter-in-law and second grandchild, while his granddaughter-in-law had lost her
child and jumped into the sea to commit suicide.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll he had left was his grandchild, who was unconscious.
Lucas shakily turned to look at Joe. “What did the doctor say?”
Joe shook his head.
There was nothing to say.
Shawn had gotten sick after facing the night breeze for a whole night, and had a high fever. After some hard work
from the doctors, the fever had receded, and all his
vitals looked normal.
As for the blood, the doctor said that it was due to being too sad.
He was just not willing to wake up.
Lucas said, “Let’s figure something out. There’s been so much going on outside that’s waiting for Shawn to handle.
We should start preparing for Gale’s funeral
affairs as well… I know he wouldn’t let anyone interfere. He would want to do it all himself.”
