Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 146

Sharon looked at Stanley firmly and said, "He's awake. I'm just going to have a look. I promise I won't stay for long and will come back right away. Can I?"

She was almost pleading at the end of her sentence.

Shawn took a bullet for her. Now that he woke up, she should go and see him out of courtesy.

What's more, Peter took the initiative to come to take her there. She should go.

Stanley stood his ground. "Sharon Cruz, I won't allow you to see him!"

Sharon stamped her feet and said, "I'm not going to do something bad. I'm just going to see how he is doing. It won't take long. Half an hour, tops."

She didn't understand why Stanley didn't even allow her to leave for half an hour.

Sharon struggled. "Stanley Jones, be reasonable!"

"I am being reasonable!"

Her words ignited his wrath. Disregarding the other people in the room, Stanley grabbed her shoulder and pressed her down, squeezing her with his hot fingers. He glared at her with his horrifyingly gloomy eyes and said, "Who is Shawn Lewis to you? Why do you want to see him so eagerly? You even stayed with him all night! Sharon Cruz, don't forget who your husband is!"

The emotions that he had been suppressing in his heart for a long time finally exploded at this moment. It was quite a terrifying sight.

Sharon was shocked by his bloodshot eyes and said, astounded, "H-He is my brother..."

"He is just your brother, but I am your husband. I won't allow you to see another man!"

He stared at her fiercely with his sharp eyes.

Peter urged outside, "Miss Cruz, let's..."

"Shut up!"

Stanley shot an arrow- like sharp glare at Peter. Peter, who had stumbled upon all kinds of situations, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he met Stanley's cold and sharp gaze.

Peter, too, was scared by his bloodshot eyes and did not dare to say anything at all.

Stanley looked down at Sharon with coldness in his eyes. "I don't care what kind of relationship you used to have with him. You are not allowed to go there now!"

Sharon must go. Since Shawn had woken up, she must go and see him.

"I only want to ask you one question." Sharon knew that he was used to being overbearing and domineering, and it was impossible for her to get out of here without cajolery. "If someone who took a bullet for you finally woke up from a coma and he or she wanted to see you, what would you do? Would you see him?"

Stanley's expression slowly darkened.

Sharon slowly pried his hand away. "I'll just go and drop by, and I'll be right back. Wait for me here. When I come back, I'll tell you everything about me and Shawn, okay?"

Stanley looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word.

Sharon bit her lip, pushed him away decisively, and then strode out.

With a clang, the door of the ward was closed.

Jimmy looked at Stanley standing in front of the door and walked up to him. He sighed and patted him on the shoulder. "You must have fallen in love with her."

Even he, an outsider, could see it.

Stanley froze.

"Don't tell me you don't love her. I don't know what this is if it's not love. Stanley, it's been so many years already. It's time to let go of Rebecca and move on. Learn how to love another woman again. Love is beautiful."

Stanley waved his hand away and sneered, "She doesn't deserve to be loved!"

D*mn it! She turned a deaf ear to his advice again!

He must be crazy to have feelings for her!

Jimmy sighed and said, "If you are really worried, you can follow them to see what they will do."

Stanley sneered, without any expression on his face.

"It's understandable for Sharon wanting to see Shawn. Let me be frank, Stanley, you're too petty- minded," Jimmy said at the risk of being chided.

Stanley turned around and went to the bathroom without looking at him.

Was it really because he was too petty-minded?

He just didn't want Sharon to be alone with Shawn!

He would never forget how Shawn looked like when he said that he wanted to find his treasure. They were both men. He could see how deep Shawn's obsession with "the treasure" was.

Jimmy sighed as he watched Stanley enter the bathroom.

In less than two minutes, Stanley came out of the bathroom. He changed his hospital gown into a gray suit, looking smart and charming as usual.

"Huh?" Jimmy was confused. "What are you doing?"

"Discharged from the hospital."

Stanley said coldly, then opened the door and went out.

Jimmy was dumbfounded. "Hey, you haven't recovered yet. How can you leave the hospital just like that? Don't make a fuss. Come on, come back with me... Hey, beautiful nurse, come and stop this patient. I can't subdue him!"

The nurse was speechless.

In the end, Stanley insisted on discharging from the hospital. Jimmy had no choice but to take him home.

Jimmy muttered as he fastened the seat belt, "If Howard knew it, I would get an earful from him! Stanley, you are not a child. How can you not take your own health seriously?"

Stanley who was sitting in the front passenger seat closed his eyes to rest and ignored him.

Jimmy rolled his eyes in agitation.

His hands were tied as he had nothing to change this stubborn guy's mind.

After switching on the signal, Jimmy planned to send him back to the villa.

"Bang..."

Jimmy's heart skipped a beat and he slammed on the brake. His face turned pale and his hands on the steering wheel trembled.

Stanley opened his eyes and frowned. "What's going on?"

Jimmy licked his dry lips and stammered for the first time, "D*mn it. I- I think I hit someone?"

Stanley unfastened his seat belt and said, "Let's go down and check."

"Yeah. Maybe it's just a trash can."

Jimmy comforted himself.

The two got out of the car and saw a woman lying in front of the car. She wore a white dress, wrapping her slim and slender body. Her black hair completely covered her face so they couldn't see her face clearly.

She lay still on the floor, not knowing whether she was dead or not...

Jimmy's mind was in a state of chaos. He walked over and paused in front of the woman. He extended his hand to check her breathing and pulse. It was weak, but it was beating.

She was not dead!

Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and went down to carry her up. "Miss, I was as slow as a turtle just now. Nothing would happen to you even if you ran into my car on purpose. If you're blackmailing me, Miss, let me tell you, you have found the wrong person..."

Jimmy said as he walked to the back seat.

"Stanley, help me open the door."

Stanley frowned and looked unhappy, but he still opened the back door for him. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jimmy bent down and put her in the car.

The next second.

"What the f*ck!"

He cursed loudly and retreated from the car, almost falling to the side of the road. Stanley frowned and looked over, which happened to meet Jimmy's eyes.

"Stanley..."

Jimmy looked like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were wide open and he looked terrified.

Even when he pointed at the car, he trembled violently. "1-1 think I've seen Rebecca..."

Stanley's expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jimmy licked his pale lips and said, "If you don't believe me... look for yourself."

The door was open, and the woman lying in the back seat closed her eyes silently. Her face was completely exposed as her hair was swept aside. Her delicate oval face looked pale. Not only her face but also the mole at the corner of her eyes was exactly the same as Rebecca's.

Jimmy might have been mistaken, but Stanley would not.

This woman was Rebecca!

It was Rebecca Lambert, who had died seven years ago!

Stanley's expression changed drastically. He reached out to hold her hand and began to tremble.

As Sharon walked forward, Peter explained to her, "After Young Master awakes, he is not in a stable mood and insists on seeing you. I have no choice but to go to the ward to look for you. I hope you won't mind."

Sharon smiled and said, "Of course, not."

"That's great."

They came to the ward. Before Sharon entered, Ayana came out to stop her.

Sharon fixed her eyes on her. Peter said, raising his voice, "Miss Warner, Young Master wants to see Miss Cruz. Please let her in!"

Ayana bit her lip and said, "Miss Cruz, I have a favor to ask of you."

Sharon blinked in astonishment. "What is it?"

"He is seriously injured now and needs to relax. When you go in later, can you please not irritate him and make him happy?"

Sharon hesitated for a moment before nodded and said, "I know what I should do."

Ayana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

Sharon turned around and was about to go in when Ayana stopped her. "Miss Cruz..."

Turning around and looking back, Sharon raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yes, Miss Warner. Anything else?"

Ayana bit her lip. "About the slap last night... I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have hit you. Miss Cruz, can you forgive me please?"

Sharon did not expect that she stopped her because of this matter. After a while, she smiled and said, "You're right. Shawn was injured because of me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been like this."

Ayana opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it back.

Sharon looked at her and asked, "Miss Warner, is there anything else?"

Ayana shook her head. "No, Miss Cruz. Please go in."

Sharon nodded and pushed open the door of the ward and went in.

In the ward.

Shawn, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, as if he could feel Sharon had entered the ward in an instant.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the hospital bed.

"Sharon..."

Sharon smiled. "How do you feel?"

Shawn's voice was very weak. "I won't die."

Sharon pulled out a chair and sat down. She pursed her lips. After a while, she asked, "Why did you take the bullet for me?"

Shawn stared at her motionlessly. "I can't let you die."

Sharon bit her lips hard, feeling as if someone stabbed her heart. "But you will!"

The doctor said that he might not survive if the bullet deviated to the side a little.

Shawn laughed. "It's better for me to die than you."

His words directly made Sharon's eyes turn red. The emotions that had been accumulating for many years burst out because of his words. "Since you care so much about me, why did you leave back then without a word?"

He left for so many years!

"Don't cry!"

Seeing that she was crying, Shawn was so anxious that he wanted to sit up from the bed. Sharon immediately held him down. "I'm not crying. Lie down and don't move. I'm fine..."

"Ahem!"

Under the emotional fluctuations, Shawn felt uncomfortable in his lungs and began to cough.

Sharon was anxious. "I'm really fine. Don't think too much. I'm just asking!"

She couldn't face this matter directly in the past, but now she could ask it in front of Shawn.

This was a good sign.

It meant that she was slowly putting this matter aside in her heart and moving on.

It was also because of Stanley, who told her to understand her heart.

So it was time to end things with Shawn.
