Chapter 573
“Gale!” Shawn shouted out in grief!
No response.
The sea was churning, and the tide was ebbing and flowing.
She left.
She would not be coming back.
Far away, by the window, Aurum put down the binoculars in his hand.
He had clearly seen the change in Shawn’s expression just now.
Shawn buried Gale in Temperley Hall, Shawn’s turned white all night, and Shawn firmly believed that as long as the body was not found, Gale may still be alive… which caused the appearance of the female corpse.
He hoped this would make Shawn completely give up!
As for the jade pendant… Of course, it was provided by Gale!
Aurum pressed the earphones in his ears. “It was done as you wished. Now he
should completely believe that you have been buried in the sea.”
A soft female voice came from the earphones. “Thank you.”
The voice was clearly Gale’s!
Aurum sighed lowly. “Is that all you have to say?”
“I don’t know how to express my gratitude. You have done so much for me.”
“As long as you are safe.”
Gale replied, “I’m fine now, Zoe is experienced and reliable.”
“Take care of your baby with peace of mind. I’m looking forward to the birth of twins,” Aurum said.
She smiled and said, “I just had a pregnancy test yesterday, and everything is normal. Zoe’s cooking is too good for me, and I’m already getting fatter.”
“Be fatter. There isn’t a pregnant woman as skinny as you.”
Gale joked, “It’s just right to be fat, no one will recognize me.”
Aurum also could not help laughing.
However, they could not talk for too long.
“Is there anything you need me to tell your father? He should be very scared now, and he doesn’t know your situation,” Aurum asked.
“Tell him everything is fine. Please rest assured.”
“I will definitely convey it.”
After hanging up the phone, Aurum picked up the binoculars again and looked toward the beach.
Coincidentally, he saw Shawn lift up the female corpse and leave the beach step by
step.
Every step Shawn took was so heavy.
What was worse than death was the complete loss of hope.
Aurum sighed, turned and left.
In a small village thousands of miles away, Gale returned the phone to Zoe and smiled slightly.
Her complexion was quite rosy and quiet, very gentle and elegant, with a bit of maternal glow.
“I’m making chicken soup. Gale, you can drink it right away. Do you want to watch. TV? I’ll put on a show for you. Your room is too quiet, so it needs to be lively,” Zoe said enthusiastically.
Without waiting for her response, Zoe had already turned on the TV.
Just in time for the news to play.
“According to the latest news from our station, the case of suicide by jumping into the sea, which has been widely rumored in Sea City, has the latest progress today. It is reported that the body has been salvaged and taken away by the family members.”
“The protagonist of this case is Mrs. Wood from the Wood Group. Because of her special status, she has attracted a lot of attention…”
“After Mrs. Wood’s funeral, the body has been found, and the case has finally come
to an end.”
On TV, there was a fishing boat on the sea and images of people coming and going.
Occasionally, the camera would sweep across the sea.
Gale saw the silver-haired man.
Shawn.
She choked and unconsciously pressed the pause button as her eyes fell on him.
Had his hair turned gray because of her?
