Chapter 240
The bodyguard shook his head. “We can’t ask Mr. Wood’s whereabouts at will.”
“Lend me the mobile phone, and I’ll give him a call.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
When connected, Shawn was indifferent and
aloof. The voice came, “What’s the matter?” “It’s me,” Gale said.
He was silent for a few seconds before saying, “What’s the matter.”
Although the words were the same, his tone had softened a lot.
Gale
asked, “You left me in the ward alone and didn’t allow me to go out. What’s the difference. between bei
ng in jail? Am I not free?”
“You need to take care of your body now.
“The person who put me in this situation and harmed my body is clearly you.”
Shawn said, “Just stay there and recover well.”

“No.”
“Then you come with me.” She raised her eyebrows. “If you can’t do it, let Summer come.”

Gale continued to peel the apple seriously.
Her technique was very good. Not a piece of apple was wasted.
The bodyguard didn’t dare to disturb her, so he quietly exited and stood at the door.
Gale looked at the apple but did not eat it, but stared at the fruit knife in his hand.
Slim, sharp, and still brand new.
She kept admiring it, then got up and put the fruit knife under her pillow, quickly hiding it.
Half an hour later, there were rapid footsteps outside.
“Gale!”
Summer ran in in a hurry.
She quickly hugged Gale. “You scared me to death, how are you?”
Summer began to examine her for injuries.
Seeing her best friend, Gale broke down.
“Summer…
the child is gone. I didn’t protect him well. I’m sorry, you can’t be a godmother, Summer… I’m really sorr
y. It’s useless. I’m so incompetent…” she murmured.
Summer burst into tears.
She hugged Gale. “I know, I know… You’re not wrong. You don’t need to apologize. Gale, it’s not your d

“Yes, he murdered my child with his own hands and sent me to the operating room. I hugged him so ha

As she recounted her tale, it still seemed fresh in her heart. She broke down more.

He loved torturing her, that she knew.
“I’m done
explaining…” Gale shook her head. “Well, things have developed to this point, and no one can predict w
Summer’s attitude was firm. “We are friends, and I will not leave you alone!”
“It is because we are friends, so you have to be good. When Shawn traps me, and there is no other way
