Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 263

This slap was so vicious that his face was burning with pain.

"Ha! You've just made a trip to the gates of hell, yet you still have that much strength left?" Isai's gaze turned even sharper.

Ember panted as she stared at him.

For a while, Isai looked at her and finally laughed. "You want to die? There's no chance I'll let you. For a day I'm alive, I won't let you die! Thirty years was way too short. I think we can tangle for twenty more years!"

Hearing what he said, Ember forcefully pulled out her hand and pointed at the door with trembling hands. "Get out! Get out of here!"

Stanley, who had been waiting outside the ward, heard the movement inside. Pushing Oscar away, he kicked the door open and walked in. He strode to the hospital bed and looked at Ember, who was breathing heavily, and asked with a cold face, "What did he do to you?"

In reply, Ember shook her head. "No... no, tell him to get out. I don't want to see him!"

"Don't worry."

With that, Stanley nodded, stood up, and blocked in front of Ember. He looked coldly at the man in front of him. "I'll give you two a minute to disappear from this place. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Seeing that his attitude was so bad, Oscar frowned and wanted to say something, but Isai stopped him by saying, "I've finished talking to your mother. You can accompany her now."

As if nothing had happened, Isai smiled at the woman on the bed and said, "Have a good rest and take care of your body. I'll pick you up for the celebration of New Year!"

Ember turned her face away. Her expression was cold, as if she had not heard him.

After Isai straightened up his clothes, he then left with Oscar.

As soon as the door closed, Ember let out a sigh of relief. She gasped as if she was breathless. Seeing this, Stanley immediately put the oxygen mask on her.

Slowly calming herself, Ember tightly held her son's hand while her eyelids were still trembling.

Big Valley University.

Before Sharon came to school, she had called Melody. Worried that she might bump into Shawn, she asked Melody to accompany her to school.

"Have you decided yet? Are you going to take a leave from school?" Melody asked Sharon as she saw her constantly looking at her phone in a nonchalance state.

Melody's question pulled back Sharon's senses. With a nod, she replied, "Yes. After thinking about what you and Stanley said, I think it makes sense. For me, as a pregnant college student to attend school, it would be quite the news. Frankly, I don't think I can handle the attention coming from the others. So, I think the best solution for me is to take a leave in my studies."

"Well, you should have thought of that sooner. Why bother coming to school when you're pregnant? Anyway, after you have given birth, there will definitely be a nanny at home to care for the baby. So, you don't have to worry about it then." Melody said, and then she sighed, "Can't believe that in a blink of an eye, you're already pregnant."

"Yes, so when are you and Marshall getting married?"

The love between Melody and Marshall was one that Sharon envied.lt was ordinary yet real, and their love showed all the goodness.

Hearing what Sharon said, Melody blushed. "He said... We'll get married after I graduate."

"Really?!" Sharon was both surprised and delighted. "Then you don't have to worry. It'll soon be here. A year will pass by very quickly."

Melody glanced at her and said, "I'm not in a hurry. You're saying it like I have a great desire to get married.

"Fine, fine! You don't have a desire to get married. It's Marshall that has a deep desire to marry you."

"Sharon, you're so naughty. I did not expect that your teasing skills have improved..."

"No, you're mistaken. I'm still that innocent and lovely Sharon."

"Don't be so shameless..."

While they were both joking around, soon they arrived at the teacher's office. After getting the application form for the temporary leave, Sharon quickly finished filling it out. She did not mention that she was pregnant, as she was worried that the teachers would look at her strangely.

Sharon wrote on the form that she was in poor health and needed a year off. As a result, when she handed it in, she was stopped by the teacher. "Hey there."

Immediately, Sharon went over and said, "Yes."

The teacher pointed at her application form and said, "It says here that you're in poor health. Do you have any relevant documents from the doctor? If not, do ask the doctor to write you a letter and

bring it tomorrow. Then, I'll hand it in for you. Otherwise, you can't apply for it."

Never did Sharon think that it would be so troublesome. Since she was not sick, how could she ask the doctor for the letter?

Finally, she had no choice but to call Anthony. After explaining the situation, he comforted her on the phone. "It's just a piece of cake. Mrs. Jones, please wait for me. I'll go over and take care of it."

Being by Stanley's side for so many years, Anthony had learned a lot from his demeanor. His speed of handling matters was one of them.

In less than thirty minutes, Anthony appeared at the school. Before he came, he probably had made a phone call. As soon as he appeared, the leader of the school came out to greet him personally.

Seeing that, Sharon was a little regretful to had called Anthony. Was he trying to ruin her reputation by making such a big scene?

Hiding behind Melody, Sharon still failed to avoid Anthony's gaze. Anthony strode over and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Jones, the matter is settled. Vice-principal Logan says that you can rest for as long as you want."

Embarrassed, Sharon thanked him. Then she pulled Melody and quickly ran away.

Before leaving, the group of teachers whispered behind her back.

Anthony scratched his head as he did not understand Sharon's reaction. Just as he was thinking about it, his phone rang. Looking down, he saw a text from Sharon. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"... Charles, I'm sorry to bother you about the matter of the temporary leave. I'm embarrassed to stay there for too long, so I came out with my classmates first."

Looking at the text Sharon sent, Anthony finally understood her reaction. She probably thought that she had disturbed Principal Logan, which made her feel awkward.

However, what Sharon did not understand was that people like him deal with things much differently. They used a more easy and convenient approach. If he really had to go to the doctor to get her a letter, it would be too troublesome.

Moments later.

Melody accompanied Sharon to the dormitory, and they sorted out the things she needed to bring home. Then Melody sent her out of the school gate. At first, she had planned to send her off to the car before going to class.

In the end, her classmate called to urge her, "Hurry! You need to attend this class, or there'll be a record! Girl, I can only help you to this point!"

Hearing this, Melody was terrified that she quickly left. "Can you handle it alone?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, go quickly! That old man keeps his words. It's no joke!"

With that, Melody ran away like a gust of wind.

Sharon stood on the side of the road to hail for a taxi. Instead, a private car stopped.

The window rolled down, and Liam stared at her with a pair of soft almond-shaped eyes. "What a coincidence."

Once Sharon saw that it was Liam, her face turned blue. Immediately she turned around to leave.

Liam frowned, pushed open the door, and got off the car. With large strides, he stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Out of my way!" Sharon did not give him a good look. "If not, I'll call for help!"

Since there were so many passers-by coming and going, she knew that he would not dare to do anything to her.

Raising his hand, Liam made a gesture of surrender. "I don't understand. Why do you resist me so much? I've never laid a finger on you."

It would be fine if he did not ask. Now, his question ignited the anger in Sharon's heart.
