Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 281

On the way to Allgate City, Sharon's team was sitting in the car. The cameraman and the assistant were sitting quietly on one side. Ever since they got in the car, Sharon had been staring at a photo in her hand. It felt like she was about to burn a hole into the picture as she was too focused.

The way she was absorbed into it was frightening.

The assistant nudged the cameraman and gave him a signal, indicating for him to go over and ask.

Among them, the cameraman was the oldest. So it would be much better for him to communicate with Sharon.

"Ahem.¹' After clearing his throat, the cameraman said, "Sharon, is there something fishy in this photo? You have been staring at it for more than an hour."

From the moment he showed her the photo, she behaved abnormally. Due to shock, she even knocked over the glass in her hand. Then without a word, she went to the Editor-in-Chief office and applied to go to Allgate City for an interview.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see at a glance that there must be something fishy in that photo. Otherwise, she would not have shown such a big reaction.

Putting away the photo in her embrace, Sharon smiled, "Oh. It's nothing. I just saw an acquaintance in the background of this photo."

Acquaintance?

The cameraman tried hard to remember the photo printed by him. It was a photo taken in the hospital. At the time, a reporter was caring for a patient, so he captured the moment and put it on the Internet.

The background of the photo did not only consist of the hospital corridor. There were also doctors and patients, as well as some family members of the patients passing by.

So the acquaintance that Sharon mentioned was between the doctors or the patient's family members?

Although the cameraman wanted to ask further, Sharon looked as if she was not willing to disclose more. Closing her eyes, Sharon pretended to sleep. "I didn't sleep well last night. So, let me take a nap. Wake me up when we've arrived, okay?"

Since she's made it clear, they did not pester her further about the picture. All they could only do was let her sleep peacefully.

Actually, Sharon could not fall asleep. Her mind was filled with the figure in the photo. It was a silhouette of a side profile of a man wearing a suit and a tie. He looked exactly like Stanley, whose life and death was unknown four years ago.

For four years, she had been searching for him. She had been to many places but failed to find him.

In the past few years, even if she saw someone familiar to Stanley on the road, she would still run over like a madman. However, she was disappointed every time.

They merely looked similar to him, but was not him.

Similar to the situation she was currently in, she was not sure whether the man in the photo was Stanley or not.

But even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would go and confirm if it was truly him.

Hours later.

The first thing Sharon and her team did when they arrived in Allgate City was to find a hotel. After arranging for them to rest, Sharon took the photo and went to the hospital. She came to the exact location of where the photo was taken.

A week ago, a pandemic broke out in Allgate City. So, all the hospitals were overcrowded. Sharon stood in the corridor wearing a mask and suddenly felt confused.

Now that she was here, but what was her next step?

The hospital was a place with a large number of people. How was she going to find him? Where was she going to start? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Standing in place for a moment, Sharon was at a loss of what to do.

After a long time, Sharon put the photo back into her pocket and planned to go to the nurse station to ask for some information. In the end, she reported Stanley's name. Unfortunately, the nurse told her that there was no such person in the hospital.

With a sigh, Sharon had no choice but to adopt the stupidest method. One ward after another, she began to search for Stanley.

After spending quite a few hours, in the end, not only did she not find a person who was similar to Stanley, but she was even more confused.

If she deliberately came to Allgate City this time, but she still could not find him, what should she do? Did she rejoice too soon?

Just when Sharon was disappointed, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a figure from afar came into her sight.

But why was she here?

With a frown, Sharon thought for a while and decided to follow her and take a look.

Sharon followed her at a perimeter that was not too far or too close. The woman in front seemed to be walking very slowly. At last, she stopped under the shade of a tree. Only then did Sharon realize that she was on the phone. Who was she talking to?

Standing at the corner, Sharon intended to wait for her to finish her call. She planned to go up to greet her.

As a result, the woman was on the phone for a long time. She kept holding on to the phone and occasionally smiled, which looked very sweet.

To that, Sharon rolled her eyes. It seemed that she was talking to a man on the phone that shared a deep connection with her.

Boyfriend?

Or...

While Sharon was indulging in her imagination, her phone suddenly rang, frightening her. She took it out, only to see that it was Shawn.

If she didn't take it, according to Shawn's temper, he would definitely continue calling her.

After thinking for a while, Sharon answered the call. "Hello..."

"Hey, Sharon! Where are you?" Shawn's anxious voice came from the phone. "No one's answering the doorbell."

"I'm not at home."

"You're not at home? Then where are you?"

"I'm working out of town. I have a mission from the broadcast, so I needed to come out."

There was a long silence before Shawn's voice came from the other end of the line. "Don't tell me you're in Allgate City?"

"Yeah, how did you..."

"Sharon!" Shawn couldn't help but raise his voice. "Do you know what you're doing?"

Sharon was speechless,"... What now?"

"There's a pandemic right now in Allgate City. Do you know what kind of situation you're putting yourself into? Do you even know how dangerous it is over there?"

"How did you know?"

"I know everything about you!" Shawn was so mad at her that he could die.

"... Alright, it's not as terrifying as you think. When I arrive, the natives were going about their day and doing their usual stuff. It's less frightening than what was reported on television." Sharon felt that what he said was too frightening.

Shawn still wanted to continue, but Sharon was too lazy to listen. "Alright, call me some other day. I'm feeling a little bit tired now. I'll hang up first."

"You..."

After putting the phone away, Sharon directly switched it off. She was able to imagine how angry Shawn must be over there. Then, she looked up and was dumbfounded.

Where was the woman who was on the phone?

Patting her forehead, Sharon immediately went to look for her.

The environment on this floor was very quiet. At a glance, one could tell that this was the residence of a wealthy person. The woman just now was dressed in a hospital gown. So, she must have been hospitalized. Thus, Sharon walked down the corridor, searching for her from ward to ward. Within a few minutes, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the hospital bed.

When Sharon pushed the door and went in. The delicate voice of the person inside sounded.

Just as she called out the name, the person in the ward was stunned. As the person who entered was not someone she wanted to see.

Smoothly, Sharon closed the door of the ward. Following that, she said with a slight smile, "Hello. Ayana, long time no see."

The woman she accidentally met was Ayana.

Never had Sharon expected to see the woman she had met four years ago in the hospital of Allgate City. She didn't know whether she should say that this was fate or just something else.

Ayana looked at Sharon in shock. "You... Why are you here?"

"Oh. I'm here for work. I did not expect to see you here either." After a pause, Sharon added, "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Why are you in Allgate City?"

Since Ayana and Shawn were friends, Sharon thought that she should be in Cresthill City.
