Skeletons Of The Marital Closet novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787
Nicole’s illness made him worry, but from another perspective, Shawn felt glad about it.
If Nicole did not have leukemia, it was possible that he would never have known that Gale was still alive and that he had such a cute and lively daughter.
It was unfortunate but lucky at the same time.
Nicole was fast asleep on her bed, with needle marks on her shoulder.
Gale personally put the charms under her bed.
“Nicole, after tomorrow, your illness will leave you forever. You can become a free and healthy little kid, and you’ll be able to grow up strong.”
She lightly kissed Nicole on the forehead.
The most tender love in the world was the love of a mother to her children.
“Mommy…” Nicole mumbled in her sleep before drifting off again.
Shawn’s heart softened at the sight.
Gale was the love of his life.
Nicole was the continuation of his life.
They were both the most important things he had, and he could not do without either of them.
That night, both Shawn and Gale did not sleep.
However, the both of them did not say anything, shutting their eyes as they held each other.
The surgery was set for nine in the morning the next day.
At eight, the nurses came into the room to bring Nicole away.
Even though Nicole was usually very obedient, she was still afraid when it came to this. She was a bit apprehensive and did not want to leave with the nurses.
She held Gale tightly. “Mommy, I-I don’t want to go.”
Gale held her tightly as well. “Nicole, it’s okay. When you come back out, you’ll be a completely healthy girl. You won’t need to stay in the hospital anymore. You won’t have any fevers or nosebleeds, and you won’t need to take medicine anymore.”
“But I’m still scared.”
Gale gently consoled her, “Daddy and Mommy will be by your side. We won’t leave.”
Nicole bit her lips as tears fell. After that, she nodded and let go, looking at the nurse. “I’m ready now.”
“Nicole, you’re so brave. Look, Daddy is going with the nurse too. If you don’t go, then all the medicines your father took for you these days would have been a waste.”
Nicole slowly gained her resolve.
She could not let her father’s efforts be wasted and could not let her mother worry!
Nicole waved. “Bye-bye. Daddy, Mommy, I won’t cry. Don’t worry!”
Gale forced out a smile and nodded. “Bye-bye, Nicole.”
Looking at the nurse pushing Nicole away, Gale’s tears started to fall.
Shawn gently wiped the tears away.
He could understand why she felt weak.
“I’m going to leave with the nurses as well. When you see Nicole and I again, both of us will be healthy,” Shawn said.
Gale nodded.
Shawn was still worried and looked back every few steps.
It was as if Gale was the one going for surgery.
Gale felt a bit awkward at his warm and caring gaze. She wiped away her tears and smiled. “Yes, I’ll wait for you two!”
Shawn nodded.
Outside the surgery room, Gale stood there alone.
Before she could feel lonely, Joe and Summer were already there.
Summer said, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, the surgery will definitely be a success. It’ll go perfectly. Nicole is so cute and smart. She’ll definitely get through this!”
“Yes, I’ll be waiting here.”
