Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 243

Looking at her reaction, Anthony paused. "Are you alright?"

Although Sharon's face was a bit pale, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I ate too much just now. Plus, you're describing these disgusting scenes and it made me a bit nauseated."

"Then I'll stop then."

Nodding her head, Sharon changed the topic. "How long have you guys been dealing with Harvey abroad?"

"Dealing with Harvey was actually quick and easy, we would have been able to return on the third day. Unfortunately... we ran into some trouble."

Lowering her voice, Sharon pursed her lips and asked, "Is it because Stanley was shot, that the return was delayed?"

"Yes." Anthony nodded. "Mr. Jones stayed in the ICU for a week after being shot. The first thing he did when he woke up was to return to the country to find you..."

Noticing that her face was getting paler, Anthony quickly shifted the topic and said something interesting, "On the day we were discharged from the hospital, those foreign doctors were so scared that they literally jumped up and down saying that if Mr. Jones wanted to forcefully check out from the hospital, he would definitely die..."

Hearing that, Sharon staggered a little, and Anthony was shocked. Then, she steadied herself and a smile appeared on her face. "I... I'm fine. I'm just thinking about what happened to you guys abroad. I... But it's great that everything's fine. Now that the two of you are safe, I am less worried."

She knew that the reason Anthony mentioned those situations was only to give her peace of mind.

Thinking of the scenes where Stanley had been shot and was in a coma for a week was enough of a thrill for Sharon. If she had been by his side, she would have definitely fainted...

At this moment, she seemed to understand why Stanley said that he would rather make her hate him, let her think that he had just disappeared, and not let her worry about his life or death.

If something did happen to him...

To be honest, Sharon would definitely break down on the spot.

However, if she thought it was merely a disappearance, then she would at most be worried...

Thinking to this point, her eyes dropped, and the scale in heart tilted...

When they returned to the ward, they heard Stanley's voice before they entered. "I'm fine, I won't die. You guys go back, I want to rest now." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Looking at each other, Sharon and Anthony mouthed, "Who's there?"

With that, Sharon walked over and opened the door to take a look. She blanked out for a moment. Rebecca... And Jackson.

As the people in the ward saw them enter, they were also stunned. Rebecca's gaze fell on Sharon and the corners of her mouth twitched bitterly. Now, she knew why Stanley was in such a hurry to chase them out.

He was afraid that she would meet Sharon, wasn't he?

The reason Stanley was so nervous was that he was afraid that she would tell Sharon about Nathan...

Thinking of this, Rebecca raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Miss Cruz, you're here too?"

In an instant, Sharon snapped back to reality. She strode in while returning a smile to Rebecca. "Miss Lambert, you do know that Stanley and I are husband and wife? So, you should have addressed me as Mrs. Jones. Why are you always calling me Miss Cruz?"

This display of power caught everyone off guard. It wasn't just Rebecca, who was stunned. Even the men in the room were all baffled.

The man on the hospital bed narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Sharon. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Not noticing the expressions on these men's faces. Sharon continued to stare at Rebecca. "Miss Lambert, why are you so quiet? Am I wrong?"

Lowering her eyes to hide her emotions, after a while, Rebecca raised her head and said with a smile, "Miss Cruz, you're right. It's just I've been used to it and it's hard for me to change."

"Since you think I'm right, but why don't you call me Mrs. Jones?"

"I'll change it slowly."

Looking at Rebecca, It was obvious that this woman did not want to admit her relationship with Stanley. Although Sharon did not like her in the past, now she hated her after the situation whereby Stanley was shot.

This woman, Rebecca, who got close to Stanley with a purpose in the beginning, actually got into a relationship with Harvey. She could not bear it.

As a result, Sharon was sort of against her. "Miss Lambert, you might as well start from now on. If you're used to it, you won't address me as Miss Cruz in the future. Don't you think so?"

At the end of her words, she smiled.

Pursing her lips, Rebecca looked at her. She said in a soft voice, "Miss Cruz, you don't need to bully me like this. It's not like you are unaware of the relationship between me and Stanley. If I suddenly address you this way, aren't I stabbing a knife into my own chest?"

Raising her eyebrows, Sharon jeered, "Miss Lambert, so you mean that I'm being unreasonable, and I'm hurting you?"

With that, Rebecca smiled faintly. "I did not say so. Miss Cruz, there's no need for you to accuse me..."

In the current situation, no matter how one looked at it, it did seem as Sharon was bullying Rebecca.

Looking at the men who were frowning, Sharon sneered. So it's true that all men like this type of frail women?

Especially Stanley, who was lying on the hospital bed. His brows were so furrowed that it could crush a fly, and it was obvious that his expression was unhappy... Was he also blaming her for targeting Rebecca?

Sharon felt clueless at how Rebecca and Harvey had paired up to hurt him, yet Stanley was so tolerant of Rebecca.

Was it really because she was his first love, so she was treated specially?

Bitterly, Sharon twitched the corners of her mouth and no longer said anything. She felt that her words were meaningless.

All she did was to defend the injustice that happened to him. On the contrary, he showed a dark and unhappy expression on his face.

"You guys can continue, I'm going outside..."

"Stop right there!"

Before Sharon could walk out, she was halted in a low voice.

With her back against him, Sharon did not move. She really did not want to stand here and watch them being all friendly and nice.

She could not do it.

"Rebecca." Stanley called out. Immediately, Rebecca answered, "Stanley."

"If there's nothing important, don't come here again. I have my wife to care for me. It's no use for you to come over," Stanley said indifferently, "You've said it yourself, our relationship is not ordinary. Although, we did share something in the past. But now, my wife is Sharon. If you often come looking for me, you'll cause her unnecessary suspicion."

With a swish, Sharon turned her head and stared at the man lying on the hospital bed. What did he mean by causing her unnecessary suspicion? Speaking as if she was a narrow-minded person.

"By the way, my wife is right. She is my wife now. It's necessary for you to address her as Mrs. Jones."

As soon as Stanley finished his last sentence, Rebecca's face turned pale. Muttering to herself, "Stanley..."

"Call me Mr. Jones. I hope you can address me by my family name." Stanley sat up from his bed and calmly looked at her. "Rebecca. Lambert, from today onwards, our matters have come to an end. Today, I'm thankful that you have come by to visit me. If there's nothing else, all of you can leave. Sharon and I need to rest."

Closing her eyes, there was a sad smile at the corner of Rebecca's mouth. "Stanley, do you need to be so heartless?"
