Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 395

The moment Ariah reached the hospital and stood outside the ward, she looked in through the window and saw Stanley wiping Sharon's body. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The scene of an egoistical man like Stanley cleaning Sharon's body left Ariah in shock because she thought a man like Stanley would only be served by others and would never condescend himself to serve others.

While she was observing, the keen man in the ward noticed someone was outside, and his low voice rang, "Who's outside?"

Immediately, Ariah retracted her gaze and opened the door to enter the ward.

"Stanley, it's me." As Ariah closed the door, she answered. "Did Anthony inform you that he took over the two children and sent them to school before I came here?"

Then, Stanley nodded his head as an indication that he was aware of it.

As Ariah looked at Sharon, who was lying on the bed, she asked, "Is she still... the same as yesterday?"

"Yes," replied Stanley sullenly.

"What did the doctor say?"

"She is not ill, and her physical condition is well, so he can't prescribe her any medicine."

When Ariah came to think of it, it was true that the doctor could not prescribe anything when she was not even ill. It was true that Sharon was... suffering from a mental illness.

No one could help her unless she herself decided to let go of it.

"Did she show any sign of response last night? Did she take the initiative to talk to you?"

However, Stanley shook his head.

After Ariah saw his response, she pursed her lips as she took a chair and sat beside Sharon. When she noticed Stanley's tired appearance and the blood streaks in his eyes, she knew that he must have been so worried that he didn't sleep the entire night.

"Stanley, you can go and take a break." With a sigh, Ariah said to him, "I'll be here to watch over her, and you can take over after your break."

Instead, Stanley rubbed his temples and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'll just head out to freshen up a bit."

"Okay, sure."

As soon as Stanley left, Ariah looked at Sharon, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Although she did not know if Sharon was awake now and was unwilling to open her eyes or if she was sleeping, she still reached out to pinch her face and said, "Do you still have a conscience? Even looking at how Stanley was worried makes my heart ache. Don't you feel sorry for him? You are the same as you were back then when you suffered a blow with your father's passing. Coupled with the disappearance of Stanley, you couldn't take it, and you hid like a coward. You lived your life like a zombie and didn't even say a word until you gave birth to your two children. Only then did you slowly pull yourself out of that state..."

"Sharon, it's very lonely to endure it alone. However, you are no longer alone, and you can now share your emotions with your family. Don't torture others, and most importantly, don't do this to yourself, okay?"

For a long time, Ariah kept trying to talk Sharon out of it. Just like back then, when Sharon came looking for Ariah, she also did the same to comfort her.

However, Sharon didn't make any progress for more than half a year until she became a mother after the birth of her child.

In the evening, Ariah and Jimmy brought the two children home while Stanley stayed in the ward to take care of Sharon.

After Stanley turned off the lights, he squeezed into the single bed as he held Sharon tightly in his arms and called her name in a hoarse and low voice, "Sharon, don't be like this. The children are worried about you, and Sadie's eyes were red before she left. They are afraid that you might continue to be like this."

"In fact, they're not the only ones who are scared. I am scared too. Ariah told me that you were also like this back then, and you were even worse than this. I don't even dare to think about that scene because I don't think my heart can't stand it."

"I've watched the video. Although it is painful to watch, the matter is in the past, and it can't be salvaged. The only thing I can do for you is to hunt Shawn down. After that, you can do whatever you want with him.

As Stanley spoke, he kissed her cheek. "There's no way Shawn will get away with this. Once I'm done dealing with him, I'll deal with Isai. Don't worry, none of those who harmed your father can get away with it."

"If this can't relieve the anger in your heart, why don't you come at me? Get your revenge on me for not taking your father's life seriously. No matter what you do to me, I will accept it willingly. I don't care how bad it is, as long as you don't torture yourself like this. Sharon, can you please give me a response? Hmm? Sharon..."

Meanwhile, he planted kisses on her cheeks, lips, and nose one after another. In the end, when he finally reached her eyes, his body froze as he planted the kiss.

There was a salty taste.

It was also moist. As his hands trembled, he reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. At that moment, he realized Sharon was curled up in his arms with tears all over her face.

Excited and ravished in joy, Stanley held Sharon tightly in his arms and said in a trembling voice, "You heard me, didn't you?"

Gently, Sharon nodded her head.

When Stanley saw her weak reaction, he was as happy as a child, and his eyes sparkled as he asked, "Sharon, can you open your eyes and look at me?"

Slowly, Sharon opened her eyes and met Stanley's gaze, which was filled with concern. At that instant, Sharon's eyes turned red, and her hoarse voice was heard as she tried to come up with a sentence, "Stanley... My father was murdered! It was Shawn who killed him! It was him who slowly removed my father's tubes! And he even witnessed my father slowly dying in front of him!"

When she spoke, her voice was dreary and sad, even with a soft whimper. Tightly, Stanley hugged her in his arms, with his thin lips tightly pressed together as he gently caressed her back, "I know, I saw everything, and I will seek justice for you. Don't be sad, don't cry..."

How could Sharon not be sad? Even though she had been so heartbroken four years ago, her heart still couldn't help but be hurt once again when she found out the truth.

If not for the video, she wouldn't have suspected Shawn about her father's death.

Even when she trusted him the most, in the end, he hurt her badly.

In front of Stanley, Sharon had a complete emotional outburst. Then, she lay in his embrace and let out a long cry.

Meanwhile, Stanley stayed by her without moving a single inch all the way until dawn.

The next day, when Ariah came to visit, she was very happy to see Sharon in such a state. Clearly, Sharon was much better than she was the day before. Although she didn't look very energetic and she seemed sluggish, at least she now could perceive from the outside world.

"I'm glad that you've thought it through. I was terrified when Stanley told me you only woke up after three days of coma." At that moment, Ariah gave a pat on her chest and made Sharon laugh deliberately. Meanwhile, Sharon pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly as she listened.

However, Ariah didn't mention any sad things, and she only told Sharon that the children had stayed over at her place for the past two days, so she didn't have to worry about them.

Attentively, Sharon listened and grabbed Ariah's hand to thank her before she left. At that moment, Sharon seemed so solemn and caused Ariah to feel a little uneasy.

"You're not going to take things too hard again, right?" Still a little worried, Ariah asked.
