"Unfortunately, although the woman that you love is strong and independent, I am a coward in love. I will never say these words in front of you who are awake. I only dare to say quietly when you are asleep. Let me hear it for you…"
Gale rested her head on his heart.
Boom, boom, boom…
She heard his steady and strong heartbeat.
Gale listened to his heartbeat and said, "Shawn, I forgave you when Susan kidnapped me, and then...you risked your life to save me."
She would remember that scene all her life.
She would never forget it in her life.
The frenzied and desperate Susan took Gale hostage.
The long knife was on her neck, threatening Shawn.
Whatever Susan said, Shawn followed suit.
He was willing to use himself as a hostage in exchange for Gale's safety.
Especially when Shawn could exchange his life for hers.
He stabbed his body with a knife. He was willing to die. He was not afraid of death for her.
Looking at that scene, Gale would be lying if she said she was not shocked or moved.
At such a dangerous moment, was there any woman who could resist a man who sacrificed his life in order to save herself?
It was the highest and deepest expression of love!
At that moment, Gale clearly understood how deep Shawn's love for her was.
He loved her more than he loved himself!
"Later, I managed to escape, but you were seriously injured and unconscious. You lost your temper and called me a disastrous woman… I'm not a disaster. It's just you… that made me a disaster." Gale laughed softly as she spoke.
"Shawn...I've forgiven you a long time ago, really. The moment you gave up your life to save me."
"Unfortunately, between us, we started off wrong from the beginning, and then we made mistakes again and again. It is too difficult to get together again."
Gale did not know if she and Shawn could make it to the end.
Just let it happen.
Some things are meant to be.
