FreeNovelChapter 315
Right after that was said, there was silence.
Gale widened her eyes suddenly as she looked right at Shawn, who was on the ground.
Even though he was kneeling, his back was still straight. His knees were full of dirt.
The ground was full of gravel and mud. It should be quite painful.
Susan repeated, “Trade you for her? Shawn, you’re willing to die with me so Gale can live?”
“Yes.”
“You’re willing to die?”
Shawn answered, “I just need to ensure Gale is alive.”
Then, it would be fine if he died.
She could live in his place.
Susan’s jealousy peaked. “Do you love her so much that you’d die for her?!”
Tears filled Gale’s eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe constantly shook her head. “Shawn, you don’t have to do that for me…”
“Galey, I wish you a long and healthy life,” he said.
So, the most touching words of romance were not ‘I love you’ or ‘marry me‘. Instead, it’s wishing the
other one to continue living in this world.
A long and healthy life.
Even if he had to die.
Tears fell across the wound on her face. Gale was in even more pain as her blood mixed with the
tears.
Yet, none of that could compare to the pain in her heart.
How could someone as conflicting as Shawn exist? She loved him and hated him at the same time.
Shawn asked, “Is that okay, Susan? If you let Gale go, I’ll be your hostage instead.”
Saying that, he got up to walk toward Susan.
Susan said, “Hold it! You’re a big man. How could I subdue you? The moment you get close to me,
you’ll pin me down on the ground!”
“Does that mean you’re willing to make the exchange?”
Susan laughed. “Of course I am, hahaha. Having you go down to hell with me would feel much better
than being with Gale. I hope you’ll fall in love with me after death!”
A look of disgust flashed in Shawn’s eyes, but he hid it well.
Susan said, “I don’t care if you die or Gale dies. No matter which one of you lives, you’ll be filled with
pain and self- blame. My goal will be accomplished.”
Shawn nodded. “Good, then let’s start the exchange.”
His tense nerves started to relax a little.
As long as Susan was willing to make the exchange, Gale’s danger would lessen.
He did not mind falling into Susan’s hands.
He might die, or he might be able to escape.
No matter what, Gale would be safe.
Gale’s voice was hoarse. “Shawn, aren’t you afraid of dying?”
In truth, she was afraid.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not want to die. She wanted to live. Her parents were still waiting for her. Her family needed
her to clear their name.
Yet, Shawn was someone of noble birth. He had far more responsibilities than she did.
He was the current master of the family and the president of the Wood Group. If anything happened to
him, the Wood Group’s stocks and board of directors would be thrown into chaos.
Shawn looked at Gale and smiled.
“I am. But I’m more afraid of losing you,” Shawn
answered.
Gale cried and said, “Then do you think I’m not afraid of losing you?!”
Shawn felt touched.
“Galey, just hearing you say that to me is enough. At least I know you do have feelings for me.”
Shawn’s smile deepened.
She was afraid of losing him too.
Yes, that was great.
Then, saving her became a lot more worth it.
