Chapter 400

"You took me out of school and tossed me into the mental hospital. I was inside for two years, even having to fight

for scraps with the dogs... You married me and aborted my child. You forced yourself on me."

"Shawn, you've never respected me! You've never treated me as your wife, nor have you ever looked at me as

someone with any dignity!"

Tears welled up in Gale's eyes.

She uttered, "I really want to slap you right now, Shawn, because you owe me that."

"Alright, hit me," Shawn answered.

He owed her. He owed her far too much.

He would never be able to repay her.

If hitting him would soothe her anger, even if just by a little...

He was willing.

He could be slapped however many times she wanted!

"Ha..." Gale smiled mockingly. "A slap would be too little for you. Do you think a slap would take away everything

you've done?

Would it take away those two dark years in the mental hospital, father's three years in prison, and mother's pain

and suffering?!!"

Shawn shook his head slowly.

"No, Galey, I just wanted to soothe a bit of your anger."

Gale did not move. "Hitting you would only stain my hand! Hitting you would make you feel better! So, I won't hit

you, Shawn. You're not worth me doing that!"

Shawn fell silent.

The atmosphere was incredibly happy.

Every second passed by excruciatingly slowly.

Shawn muttered her name. "Galey, Galey... What can I do to slightly make up for what I've done?"

He knew that he would never be able to make up for it completely.

"Let me go. Let my parents go. From now on, we won't see each other again!" Gale said.

Shawn fell silent when he heard that.

Let her go?

What about him?

How was he supposed to live the rest of his life?

He did not want to let go.

Even if they tortured each other or even if she caused him endless suffering, he could accept it.

As long as she was by his side.

"Galey, if you leave, then what do I do?"

"That's your problem!" Gale was completely devoid of emotion.

"I owe you far too much. Don't you want me to pay you back?"

Shawn asked.

"Shawn, you wouldn't be able to."

Her life had already been completely ruined. Only by leaving would time slowly fix it.

Thankfully, she still had her two children.

After those children were born and raised into adults, she would already be old.

She just wanted life to pass by peacefully. After going through so much, Gale just wanted a regular life.

Shawn raised his hand slowly, falling on her shoulder. "Galey, I..."

His lips moved slightly, saying in the end, "I love you."

Those words should have been full of happiness and love, but they only brought pain.
