Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 284

"Why did you let him go?"

Facing Howard's question, Sharon did not show any emotion. She only looked at the car far away and asked indifferently, "Did you bring the marriage certificate?"

"Why do you need the marriage certificate?" Howard rolled his eyes. "You want a divorce?"

Sharon glanced at him. "Didn't I tell you on the phone? Stanley has lost all his memory."

Hearing that, Howard was shocked instantly, thinking that he was having hallucinations. For a long while, his mind went blank. He must have heard it wrong! "You're joking, right?"

However, Sharon shook her head. "He doesn't know me at all. I told him I am his wife, but he asked me to prove it."

That was why she asked Howard to go to the Jones Family's villa to get the marriage certificate from Hazel.

Howard continued, "When you told me on the phone that you have found Stanley, I hurried over here even without taking a leave. I was too nervous that I forgot about getting the marriage certificate for you..." After a while, Howard was still in disbelief. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"I called you because you're a doctor, so I thought you could check on his condition."

Seeing how serious Sharon was, Howard frowned. Stanley would have definitely returned to Beachmarsh City if he hadn't lost his memory. But instead, he disappeared for four years straight. His disappearance all this while could only be explained by his loss of memory!

After taking a deep breath, Howard pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, let's have a rest tonight first. We can come back here to look for Stanley again tomorrow."

Hearing his suggestion, Sharon nodded.

Howard glanced at her. "Where are you staying?"

"At a hotel not far away." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Alright, let's go. I'm going to get a room there too."

After a while, Howard and Sharon stopped an Uber and left.

When they reached the hotel, Sharon received a call from her assistant, Mark, asking her when she would be coming back. She was currently in a bad mood, so she just replied to Mark casually before hanging up the phone. After that, she was about to go back to her room.

"Sharon!" Howard stopped her.

Turning around to look at him, Sharon asked, "What's the matter?"

With a room card in his hand, Howard looked at her worriedly. "Are... are you alright?"

Before they reached the hotel, he had noticed that she looked unwell. Thinking about it, Howard could understand her feelings. After all, she had been looking for Stanley for four years but failed to find him. Now that she had finally found him, but he did not recognize her at all.

It must be very hard for her that her husband did not remember her.

Knowing that Howard worried about her, Sharon gave him a smile and shook her head. "I'm fine."

Frowned, Howard repeated, "Are you sure you're okay?"

He asked because he noticed that her face was very pale, and she had been absentminded from the moment he met her.

It seemed that she needed some time to calm down after she finally met the person she thought had been "dead" for four years.

"Howard, don't worry, I will be fine." Sharon laughed and placed her hand on her heart. "The only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is my racing heart. I am too excited to see Stanley again after four years! You can't imagine how happy I am. As long as he is still alive, I would be very thankful even if he has lost his memory or even if he is handicapped."

What mattered the most was that he was still alive.

It didn't matter, even if he couldn't remember her. She was willing to spend all her time letting him know her again.

Meanwhile, after Stanley returned to his apartment, he took a shower. Not long after, he came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, and his muscular upper body was bare. Standing on the balcony, he lit a cigarette and enjoyed the cityscapes at night.

Under the light in the bedroom, he looked at his upper body. There were six-packs on his abdomen, with a few scars on it. On the left side of his chest, there was another scar as well. Although he didn't know how he got it, he could tell that it was caused by a bullet. From there, he also noticed that there was a bullet scratch on his right shoulder.

Touching those scars, he narrowed his deep and pitch-black eyes.

He began to recall the incidents that happened in the hospital just now. Uncontrollably, that cute woman with a serious look flashed across his mind.

As he had forgotten his past, he was hoping that someone he knew from the past would find him, telling him who he was. However, when Sharon told him that she shot him, he couldn't help but stayed alert...

How could he possibly believe that the woman who shot him and tried to kill him was his wife?

That was why he immediately ignored her after she told him about it.

However, it seemed that his response at the hospital just now had hurt her. Until now, he still could not forget the trace of sadness that flashed in her eyes.

"Ring... Ring..."

Without warning, a sudden ringing of the phone got his attention back.

Returning to his room, Stanley took out his phone and found that it was an unknown number.

After a moment of hesitation, he answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

A soft and low voice came from the other end of the line. "Are you asleep?"

It seemed that Stanley was not surprised to receive a call from Sharon. So, he said calmly, "Miss Cruz."

Hearing that he addressed her formally, Sharon pursed her lips. Miss Cruz? Screw you!

Holding back her anger, she smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's me. Why aren't you surprised that I call?"

Taking a drag on his cigarette, Stanley said, "Before I left, you asked for my number."

After she got the phone number, she would definitely call him, so he was not surprised.

Upon hearing his words, Sharon chuckled. "Actually, I'm just calling you to ask if you're free tomorrow."

"Is there something you want?"

"Yes, I want to invite you to dinner."

Stanley did not respond.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?"

After a long silence, he replied, "There's one thing we must make clear."

"Alright. You can tell me about it."

"I'm so sorry. Although you know me, you are just a stranger to me right now. Moreover, I have a girlfriend now, and we will get married soon. So for the sake of both of us, I hope you will not do something that would make me misunderstand. Do you understand?"

After Stanley finished his words, there was no response on the other end of the line for a long time. So, he then frowned and asked, "Miss Cruz?"

After calming herself down, Sharon replied in a hoarse voice, "In the past, you used to talk like this too. You always spoke in a straightforward manner. However, you've never talked to me in this way before. This is the first time I hear these heartless words from you, and it really hurts me..."

Laying on the bed, Sharon sounded disappointed, making Stanley feel sorry for her. Unconsciously, he gave a swallow, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

Meanwhile, Sharon tried to cheer herself up by saying, "It's okay if you don't want to have dinner with me. We can meet in front of the hospital. I'll wait for you at 12 o'clock tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing her request, Stanley frowned, "Sorry, I have a meeting tomorrow, so I can't go..."

"What did you say? Hello? The signal here is not good. I'll meet you at 12 o'clock tomorrow then. Don't be late. Good night."

Before he could refuse, she had already hung up the phone.

On the other side, Stanley was still holding his phone, pursing his lips...
