Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 241

After kissing for some time, Sharon was out of breath. Only then, Stanley let go of her.

Immediately she came out from his embrace. Her heart was pounding wildly and her breathing was unstable. She stood in the corner, far away from him, with one hand covering her mouth.

There was a space in Stanley's embrace, and it felt uncomfortable. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Come over, I need a hug."

Standing still, Sharon said, "I still have a few questions to ask you."

"Why don't you hug me while you ask?"

"... Have you caught Harvey yet?"

This was the problem that she was most worried about. If Harvey escaped this time, she was afraid that people like Harvey would retaliate harder against Stanley in the future.

"He's dead."

Stanley spat out two simple words.

Startled by his answer, Sharon repeated, "He's dead...?" "Yes."

"You... You did it?"

"I wanted to do it myself, but I could not." When he said these words, his eyes were very cold.

Before she spoke again, Sharon paused for a long while, "How did you know that he was overseas? How did you find him?"

Hearing her question, Stanley's eyes flashed. "Rebecca had been in contact with Harvey. This time, when she contacted Harvey, I had set up a trap to lure him out, so that I have a chance to subdue him."

Immediately Sharon became spirited, after hearing his words. "I knew that there was something wrong with Rebecca. That day, when I went out for dinner with her, I had eavesdropped on her calling someone in the bathroom. Now that I think of it, it must be Harvey! Yet you did not believe me and thought that I was slandering her!"

Towards the end of her sentence, Sharon looked at him with disdain. Recalling that night when she had explained the situation to him, but he insisted on standing up for Rebecca.

"You're still holding a grudge?" Stanley smiled. "I've long known that there was something wrong with Rebecca, even before you had discovered that she was weird. It's not that I don't believe in you."

Taken aback, Sharon said, "You... already knew?"

"Yes."

"How did you know?"

"I found out accidentally. I did not want to alert the enemy, so I did not tell you."

Again, Sharon was in shock. She did not think that he would already know about it. Staring at him, she thought to herself, just how many things does Stanley hide from her?

Extending his hand towards her. "Come here."

Despite that, Sharon did not move. Raising her eyes and asked, "Then what's the deal with the gunshot wound?"

Seeing that she was disobedient, Stanley was a little displeased. "First, come and sit down." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Why?"

"Let me take a look at you, and hug you. Because I have not seen you for a long time. Don't you miss me?" His words were undisguised, he did not feel embarrassed.

Rolling her eyes, Sharon said, "No, I don't!"

Stanley frowned at her response. "You're sure you don't miss me?"

Nodding, she replied, "Yeah, I don't..."

Before she could finish her words, the man sitting on the bed was about to get down. Startled by his actions, Sharon immediately went over to hold him down. "What are you doing?"

Smoothly, Stanley held her down... Sharon was in a flurry as she tried to stop him. With her face full of embarrassment, "B*stard, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to touch your heart, and see if you're lying!"

Before his movements could stop, Sharon became anxious. "All right, stop."

"Then tell me the truth."

"Yes?"

In order to stop him from fooling around, Sharon said briefly, "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, alright? Stop fooling around. What if someone walks in on us?"

After that, she pressed his hand tightly and changed the subject. "Your injury... Can I have a look at it?"

Not willing to let her look at these bloody things, Stanley brushed her off. "It's just a small injury. Don't look at it."

"But, I want to see it."

"It's very disgusting."

"Even if it's disgusting, I still want to see it." Sharon persisted, staring at him.

Creasing his brow, he did not really want her to look at it, as he was afraid that she would feel uneasy. However, Sharon was persistent in this matter. She even went as far as to lift his clothes without his approval.

"..."

This naughty woman!

The blue and white striped hospital gown was slowly lifted by her, revealing the man's sturdy and tight abdomen. Sharon did not have the mood to admire the man's appearance. Holding her breath, she stared at his chest.

The white bandage was wrapped around his wounds and there was a faint hint of blood leaking out. Involuntarily, her hand moved forward to touch his wound. Stanley let out a hump, and subconsciously tighten his body.

Feeling his reaction, Sharon immediately withdrew his hand. "I'm... I'm sorry..."

"I'm fine." "Does it hurt... a lot?"

"No."

With that, Sharon's eyes were a little red. "Did

Harvey's accomplice do it?"

Hearing that, Stanley's face darkened, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. Shaking his head and said, "This shot here, it was not related to Harvey."

"That is..."

"For now, Liam is the only suspect who wants to put me to death."

"What? Him?" Sharon was both baffled and infuriated. "Is he really that ruthless?"

"It hasn't been a day or two since he tried to kill me. Since I was abroad, so I did not guard against him. He happened to take this opportunity to put me to death."

Gritting her teeth, Sharon knew that Liam really was not a saint, but she had not expected him to be this cruel. It seemed that he had no humanity whatsoever, and he wanted to put his half-brother to death.

Obviously, she was furious. Looking at her blushing little face, Stanley could not help but laugh. "I'm not dead yet, don't be so angry."

Glaring at him, Sharon thought to herself, why does this man like talking about nonsense?

Shrugging his shoulders, Stanley stared at her pair of bright and dark eyes, which were deep. His Adam's apple moved slightly and he wanted to hold her so badly. "Sharon..."

As his breath drew near, Sharon, who was sitting still, suddenly stood up and distanced herself. "Let me open the window and let in some fresh air."

Seeing how she distanced herself, made Stanley frown.

Since the conversation had already been over, shouldn't she had forgiven him? Why was she still so distant?

Squinted his eyes as he looked at the figure by the window.

"Sharon..."

Just as he was about to open his mouth and say something. At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly opened. Anthony appeared at the door and said, "Mr. Jones."

Looking over with a frown, Stanley asked, "What are you doing in here?"

"Um..." Anthony subconsciously felt that he had come at the wrong time. Standing at the door, he could neither enter nor retreat. "How about... I go out first."

Waving his hand with displeased, and said, "Go out."

"... Yes."

Anthony was about to retreat when Sharon came over and stopped him. "Since you've already entered. What's the point of going out? It's getting late. Come in and keep Stanley company. I need to get back to school soon."

"What did you say?" Stanley's face darkened. She did not intend to stay with him in the hospital, but was willing to return to that crappy school?

"I have to go back to school. There will be no bus later. Have a good rest. If I'm free tomorrow, I will come by to visit you."

Stanley's face turned darker. "If you're free?"

What did she mean, if she was free?

Nodding, Sharon replied, "That's right. There'll be an event tomorrow morning. If I'm not free, I probably won't come by."

After she finished her sentence, Stanley's face suddenly turned dark. Sharon acted as if she did not see it and said directly, "In that case, Charles, please take good care of Stanley. I'm leaving."

With that said, she turned around and was about to go out.

"Anthony!"
