Chapter 319
”
“Hang in there, Shawn. The ambulance is almost here. Almost… Do it for me, okay? Don’t fall asleep. Hang on…” Gale mumbled.
She was terrified.
Shawn really wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he had no strength left.
It would be a miracle if he could keep this arm of his.
Gale held him and lowered her head against his cheek, wanting to be close to him.
“Why were you so stupid? Why? You crippled yourself just because Susan asked!
“You even pulled that knife right out. Are you not worried about losing too much blood? Did you not want that arm anymore?”
“Shawn, you better listen here. If you turn into a cripple, I’ll leave you! Do you hear me?!”
“You have to get better…”
Shawn pursed his lips, and his eyes slowly shut again.
“Galey…” Every word he uttered took a lot of strength. He spoke very slowly, “Live on. Love…”
After he said that, Shawn shut his eyes, and his head slumped down.
“Shawn!” Gale’s voice pierced through the night sky.
The ambulance came roaring.
The nurses brought Shawn into the ambulance, and Gale followed. “I’m his wife, I’m family! Let me follow!”
As the doors shut, she saw Susan lying on the floor.
She saw Joe hurrying over as well.
Gale let out a sigh of relief.
She would let Joe deal with the scene. He had always been capable of cleaning up.
As she thought about it, her tears fell again.
At that moment, the sun was already starting to rise.
“Shawn, you have to be fine. You have to keep your arm,” Gale constantly prayed.
“Oh my, why are you on the ground?” A nurse helped Gale up when she passed by. The nurse was shocked when she saw all the blood on Gale’s body. “Where are you injured? There’s so much blood.”
“It’s not my blood, it’s…” Gale paused before answering, “My husband’s.”
All of the dried blood on her clothes were Shawn’s.
How could one person bleed so much?
The nurse said, “But you’re injured too. Your face and your neck…”
It was then Gale remembered that Susan had slashed her
face.
She reached up to touch it. “It’s a minor wound, nothing serious.”
