"Haha. What do I want? You better listen carefully." Natalie found Gale's distress amusing."Just spill it. I will agree..." Gale did not have any rights to demand. She only wanted Joshua to be safe!"I want you to suffer. I want you to live in sorrow every day, just like you are now. I want you to watch your child die before you. I want you to feel that life's not worth living." Natalie's excitement grew as she spoke.Natalie's laughter echoed in the ward, chilling everyone. Gale shivered. "This is what you wanted from the moment you faked your apology to us. You've been plotting to make me suffer, to make me feel miserable, to make me wish for death!""Yes! The spell on Nicole was a way to make you suffer for a lifetime! Unfortunately, you found the antidote. I miscalculated. But now, you handed your son to me!"Natalie had no idea that Joshua was Gale's son. It was quite a coincidence that Joshua had come here today and revealed his identity!It seemed like fate was assisting

Gale slowly lifted her head and gazed toward the door. It had to be Shawn!She could recognize the pace of his footsteps. Sure enough, a few seconds later, the door to the hospital room opened. Shawn entered, clad in black trousers that accentuated his muscular legs, gleaming leather shoes, and an imposing aura. He scanned the situation in the room with his piercing gaze, his lips pressed together firmly. He was somewhat surprised. The person he had been worried about, Gale, was on the floor, crying her heart out. Was she not supposed to be the one held captive by Natalie? Then why, upon entering, did he see Joshua as the hostage?Shawn did not ask any questions. Instead, he walked over to Gale, knelt beside her, and helped her to her feet. He embraced her and let her rest against his chest. Gale sobbed even harder when she saw him, quickly soaking his shirt. "Shawn... you're here. I waited for you...""Yeah, I'm here, Gale. Don't be afraid."He smoothed her long hair and k

'Joshua is Gale's son?'His mind went blank for a moment, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses. "Yes, Shawn, Joshua Warm is your son. Didn't you know? That just meant Gale had been hiding him from you as well. Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to target this parentless kid? What would I gain from taking his life?" Natalie laughed.Shawn pursed his lips, looking toward Gale. "He is my son?"Gale nodded, admitting, "Yes, Joshua is your son. That is why Natalie agreed to the hostage exchange. This naive kid did it to save me… "Shawn frowned. After a few seconds, he lowered his head, whispering in Gale's ear, "I understand now, Gale. Don't worry, leave it to me."Gale looked into his eyes. "You understand?" Shawn's reaction seemed different from what she had imagined. 'Why was he so calm? It's different from what I imagine…'"Yeah, this was Joshua's idea, right? He's small but clever," Shawn replied in a low voice. "Idea?" Gale blinked, looking at h

Natalie skillfully avoided his major arteries; after all, she did not want Joshua to die so quickly. She wanted to savor Gale's pain."Joshua!" Gale used all her strength to lunge forward as she watched the blood flow incessantly. It was hopeless. Shawn pulled her back, embracing her.He glanced at Joshua's neck wound. It was approximately seven to eight centimeters long. Fortunately, it was not too deep. Natalie probably intended to teach them a lesson without going too far. However, for a child, it was already cruel enough.Shawn covered Gale's eyes. "Don't look, Gale… The wound isn't deep, it won't endanger his life.""But Joshua must be in so much pain..." She wished the cut was on herself. Even ten cuts would be fine!Joshua took a sharp breath, pain spreading from his neck. However, he remained silent and shed a tear. He was unusually calm for a kindergarten boy."It's okay, I'm not hurting. Big beauty, it's just a small injury, I won't die," Joshua reassured her.Howeve

As long as Natalie stood by the window, the sniper across could take their shot. The bodyguards lurking on the upper and lower floors were ready to climb and snatch Joshua from Natalie at any moment. Perhaps they needed to force Natalie to make a move instead of staying in the corner!Shawn knew it was dangerous and came with great risks. Any slight mishap and Joshua might die. However, he had to take the risky chance. It was a do-or-die situation. It was the only way! If Natalie really intended to kill Joshua with the knife, there was no solution unless he rushed forward and confronted her directly.No matter what, there were risks.Shawn's eyes darkened; his only solace now was that the hostage was not Gale. Otherwise, what would he do? Though Joshua was important, Gale was more crucial. It was not that Shawn was heartless, but Gale was his top priority. Even if Nicole were in danger, Shawn would not completely lose his composure.As he was about to re-enter the ward, hurried
