Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 369

The next day, Sharon felt very tired when she woke up.

"What the f*ck..."

Holding her sore waist, she sprawled on the bed and took a few deep breaths. Stanley's madness last night made her feel shy, which prompted her to bury her face in the pillow.

After a long period of rest, she slowly got up and went to wash up.

Coming out of the bathroom, she saw Stanley tying Sadie's hair in the living room.

As their eyes met, some sort of emotion began to spread from one person to the other.

The absurd images from last night flooded into Sharon's mind like a tide.

Her face thus flushed red uncontrollably again.

When Stanley looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. His eyes were as unfathomable as a thousand-year-old pool.

Sharon didn't even dare to look at him in the eye because she was so shy that her fingertips were all red. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Ouch... Dad, you hurt me!"

Sadie snorted.

Following a cough, Stanley retracted his gaze. Immediately, he released the strength in his hand and apologized to his daughter. Sitting on the small stool, Sadie waved her hand very generously and said, "It doesn't matter. Be careful, Daddy. Tie it up quickly. I don't want to sit here anymore. I've been here for a long time."

Children were usually impatient.

Furrowing his brows, Stanley carefully took care of the small strand of soft hair in his hands.

When he woke up in the morning, Sharon was still asleep. Therefore, he decided to make breakfast for the children, and that was when he saw Sadie's messy hair and dirty face, which prompted him to tie her hair.

Her two braids, which he was still working on, were indeed beautiful.

It might seem simple, but it had taken Stanley a lot of effort.

The hair seemed to be a naughty child that kept slipping away from his hands. After a few minutes, her braids were about to come loose.

As beads of sweat formed on his forehead, he pursed his thin lips tightly.

It was too difficult.

"Let me do it."

Sharon couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she walked over and said, "You're holding her too tightly, which will hurt her scalp. Also, the hair hasn't been tied tight enough. It will come loose very quickly."

Left with no choice, he could only pass the task to her as it was too challenging for him.

As Sharon picked up the comb and took the rubber band, she skillfully tied up two cute braids on Sadie's head.

That amazed Stanley.

Sharon found it amusing because she did not expect that such an easy task was actually something difficult for him.

Her smile warmed the hearts of those who looked at her. When the two of them sat side by side on the couch, Stanley couldn't help but reach out his hand to hold hers. In response, she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been scalded by something hot.

Stanley frowned.

What happened last night made her flush crimson, which was a reflex action. She felt uncomfortable to be touched by him.

An awkward feeling spread through her as he touched her.

The phone suddenly rang, which saved her from the predicament. "Your phone is ringing now. Go and answer it."

That was indeed a relief.

Holding his phone, he asked, "What's the matter?"

She was not sure what the person on the other end of the line had mentioned, for Stanley's expression suddenly changed as he said, "Got it. We'll be right there."

Upon putting away the phone, he whispered, "Something happened to Ariah. She's in the hospital. We need to make a trip there."

What?

Sharon's expression changed. "What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know much about the situation either. It was Jimmy who called. He briefly told me that Ariah was in the hospital and wanted us to go over."

Immediately, she nodded and replied, "Alright, let's go now."

When the four of them reached the hospital in a hurry, they saw Jimmy in the corridor far away. He sat on the chair outside the ward with his back arched and his hands inserted into his hair. In his current posture, no one could see his expression clearly.

Without hesitation, Sharon strode over.

Following a sigh, Stanley said, "Calm down, please."

How could Sharon calm down? On the way here, she was so worried that she urged Stanley to call and ask Jimmy about the reason. Nevertheless, Jimmy only replied with one sentence, "Hurry up, she's in the emergency room."

She was still fine two days ago. How did she end up in the operation theatre after two days?

Sharon's expression had been gloomy in the car. Now that she saw Jimmy, she got even more furious. "What happened to Ariah?"

Hearing her voice, Jimmy raised his head.

This startled her.

She had never seen Jimmy in his current state. He had always been very mindful of his image, so he would tidy his hair even when he went to the mall to buy something.

But now, his clothes were in a mess, and the collars were even stained with blood. Besides the messy hair, there were also some bruises on the face, not to mention his red eyes which looked

daunting.

Taking a deep breath, she moved backward and accidentally fell into Stanley's embrace, who was behind her.

It was obvious that he had also seen Jimmy's appearance. With a frown, he silently brought Sharon and his two children to another bench and sat down.

Nonetheless, Sharon insisted on checking out what had been going on.

"You can't get any information from him now. He is probably preoccupied with Ariah." Stanley stopped her. "When the surgery is over, you'll go take care of Ariah, while I'll talk to him."

Upon hearing that, Sharon glanced at him quietly.

Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're all brothers, so you're definitely going to help him. If you stand on his side..." she muttered.

"What are you thinking about?" Stanley didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ariah is close to me and has always called me big brother since I was a child. How can I only help Jimmy and forget her? I won't favor either party."

"It must be Jimmy's fault."

"You never know."

In response, she sneered, "Ariah is in the operating room now, yet you're still doubting me? If I were sent to the hospital after quarreling with you. Whose fault do you think it is?"

Stanley's heart skipped a beat, for he didn't even dare to imagine that scary scene.

Just then, Seamus's dark eyes swept over them. Standing on his mother's side, he said coldly, "If you quarrel with my mother and hurt her, my sister and I won't talk to you anymore. You can divorce my mother directly. Such a man is not qualified to take care of her."

Stanley's hand trembled after hearing the shocking words from his son.

Sharon also got less nervous because of those words.

Holding Seamus tightly, she sighed and said, "Please stay quiet after the operation. Is that okay?"

The two lovely children nodded when they heard her reminder.

An hour later, a doctor in a white coat walked out of the operation theatre, and Jimmy rushed over in a panic. His eyes were red as he asked with his hoarse voice, "How is she?"
