Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 376

"Didn't you say that you don't care about me?" Triumphantly, Shawn smiled and honestly answered, "I know that Stanley will definitely strike on me once he returns, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. In fact, he didn't leave me any route of retreat, so I guess he really wanted to kill me."

At that moment, Sharon was taken aback by his words. Although she thought somehow knew what happened to Shawn must have something to do with Stanley, but Stanley had never told her about it, nor did she ask. Besides, she didn't expect to hear these things from Shawn today.

The way Shawn spoke without the intention to hide it from Sharon made her sneer. "Are you trying to cast a bone between us again?"

When Shawn heard her question, he teased, "If your relationship is strong enough, then my provocation and dissension will definitely not work." When he said that, he narrowed his eyes and continued, "From your reaction just now, I believe you didn't know that Stanley had done those things to me."

Meanwhile, Sharon pursed her lips without saying a word. Even though she did suspect him before, she really did not think too much about it.

There was a moment of silence on the phone. When Shawn heard the shallow breathing from the other end of the call, his heart softened. "Sharon, what happened last time was my fault. I didn't mean to treat you like that, but I was too angry, and I didn't manage to control my temper for a while, so I was a little impatient. I swear that I won't do this again in the future. Will you forgive me?"

With a poker face, Sharon answered, "As you said, Stanley had already pushed you to the edge, so I don't think there will be any future."

At first, Shawn was stunned, but then he chuckled. "Sharon, I see that you're getting smarter." At the end of the laugh, his voice turned a little cold. "But I won't accept my fate. Unless he kills me!"

All this time, Shawn was known as a stubborn and persistent person, so no matter how Sharon tried to persuade him or tell him off, it seemed like he would never listen to her.

In a daze, Sharon held onto the phone until Shawn said in a low voice after a long time, "I still have something to do, so I don't have time to talk to you today. Wait for me to get through this crisis, then we will sit down and have a nice talk, okay?"

"From now on, I will never see you again."

With absolute certainty, Shawn smiled and replied, "You will."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Sharon was stunned as she held the phone in her hand. After a long time, she finally put the phone back into her pocket while she stood in front of the mirror and took a few deep breaths before she turned around and leave.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a figure flashed by.

Stunned, Sharon's voice rang out. "Ryan?"

When she called out Ryan's name, he had no choice but to stop. When he turned around, a rare expression of awkwardness was on his face. "Miss Cruz."

Suspiciously, Sharon asked, "Why are you here?"

At that moment, Ryan smiled at her, but he didn't say anything.

Immediately, Sharon understood what he meant. "Did Stanley send you to check on me?"

"Miss Cruz, it's good that you understand. He's just worried about you, so he ordered me to protect you secretly all the time."

After the last incident with Isai, Stanley had never left her side. Even if he had to leave, he would order his bodyguards to follow her.

No wonder he was so rest assured to let her accompany Ariah in the ward alone. In fact, he had arranged for someone to secretly protect her.

After Sharon gave it a thought, she nodded and said, "Thank you." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

As Ryan waved his hand at her and thought for a moment, he then pointed to the washroom door and explained, "Just now, I realized that Miss Cruz had been alone in the washroom for a long time. I was afraid that something bad would happen to you, so I eavesdropped at the door for a while..."

At that moment, Sharon raised her eyebrows and asked, "So you've overheard the conversation I had just now?"

Awkwardly, Ryan laughed, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Please don't be angry."

"It's okay." Since he was just worried about her, Sharon was bothered by it at all. When she that he was about to leave again, she thought for a moment and said, "About the conversation that I had in the washroom earlier, can you not tell Stanley about it?"

Besides the fact that she didn't want Stanley to worry, she was also afraid that Stanley would get angry when he found out about it. That was why she thought that it would be better to avoid any more trouble. Furthermore, she didn't do anything wrong.

When Ryan heard her request, he glanced at her, then nodded and turned around to leave.

When Sharon returned to the ward, she saw a sneaky woman outside the door, who seemed to be peeking inside the ward.

Stunned at what she saw, she strode over and asked, "Miss... who are you looking for?"

The person was taken aback by Sharon's question as if she did not expect someone to suddenly appear. Immediately, she turned to look at Sharon with a terrified look on her face, and she seemed thin and weak, but she was somewhat pretty.

A weak woman like her would be pitied by everyone she met. Not to mention a man, even a woman could not help but show tender care for her.

At that moment, Sharon thought that she scared her, so she immediately cleared her throat. Afraid that she was Ariah's colleague, she took the initiative to ask, "Uhm, are you here to visit Ariah?"

However, when she thought about it again, she felt that something was off because not many knew about Ariah's accident. Besides, she didn't even tell her family about it because she was afraid that others would worry.

Therefore, this woman in front of her could not be Ariah's colleague.

"You... I'm looking for Ariah, is she inside?"

Just Sharon was wondering about the identity of the other party, the woman spoke in a soft voice, "Can I go in and see her? I saw her inside earlier, but just as I was going to go in, I got a fright from you."

When Sharon heard her words, she thought to herself, "How could she get a fright when it's broad daylight? She must be very timid."

"Sure." Then, Sharon took the initiative to open the door. "You know Ariah? What's your relationship with her? Are you friends? Or colleagues?"

Secretly, Sharon tried to guess her identity.

However, the woman just smiled without answering Sharon's question as she pursed her lips and entered the ward.

When they entered the room, Ariah was lying on the bed. At that moment, she was watching the news to pass time. The issue with Lewis Enterprise was quite serious, as nine out of ten channels were reporting about it. At first, she found the news quite interesting, but then she started to feel annoyed when she watched too much of it. All of the channels were reporting the same thing even when she tried to switch channels.

When she finally switched to a channel about the legal system, she realized that they were talking about a murder and rape case...

The bad mood Ariah had earlier became worse when she tried to switch between channels. Just as she was about to turn off the television, the door of the ward opened. When she thought it was Sharon who had returned, she looked up with a smile, "Sharon, if you don't come back soon, I'll get out of bed..."

Before she could finish his words, she paused, and her face changed in an instant.

With her gaze fixated at the woman who had just entered the room, she sneered sarcastically, "Anna, what are you doing here?"

Immediately, Sharon's eyes widened. Anna?

Wasn't that the name of Jimmy's mistress?

Once, Sharon heard Ariah mention the name of the woman who had an affair with Jimmy. That was the second day that the mistress came looking for Ariah, and she couldn't take the blow, so she came looking for her. As she hugged Sadie, she cried and said to her, "How can a mistress act so

arrogantly? You're just a heroine pretending to be weak, yet you throw words that are like knives at me while you show me the picture of you and Jimmy in bed..."

However, Sharon thought that Ariah was just drunk and spouting nonsense at that time, but now that she looked at it, Ariah definitely was not spouting nonsense.

Every word that Ariah said was true.

The mistress was indeed soft and weak, and she seemed like a powerful heroine.

The anger in Sharon's heart immediately exploded, and she couldn't even control it.
