Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 398

The pain began to spread from Shawn's abdomen. Immediately, he raised his hand and pressed on the wound while he raised his head to look at Sharon in shock.

Two steps away from him, Sharon was trembling with a fruit knife in her hand. Tightly, she held the knife with both hands. The knife was stained with blood, and there was an obvious fear in her eyes. With her teary red eyes, she stared at Shawn for a moment.

When Shawn saw her trembling in fear, he sneered and walked slowly toward her with his hand still pressed against the wound.

"D-Don't come any closer!"

Even Sharon's teeth were shaking. How could she not be afraid when it was the first time she had stabbed someone with a knife? Both of her legs were trembling badly, and she had to try her best to hang on in case she passed out.

However, Shawn stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Don't be afraid. It's the first time you ever hurt someone like this. I won't blame you, Sharon. Even if you kill me, I won't blame you!"

In fact, he was so close to Sharon that she immediately smelled the smell of blood on his body, and it gave her goosebumps all over her body.

At that moment, she wanted to get away from him, but Shawn, who was injured, still had such great strength, and she couldn't get rid of him.

"You're too weak, and it's your first time stabbing someone. That's why you couldn't find the right spot to kill me with just one stab." With great strength, Shawn held her wrist and said, "I'll teach you how to kill someone with just one stab in the future, okay?"

Why was he still laughing?

When Sharon heard what he said, she glared at him, and the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed. All her emotions exploded out all of a sudden, and she roared, "Shawn, why? Why are you doing this to me?"

Everything he did, was just because he wanted to get her.

Meanwhile, Shawn's face was frighteningly pale, and his black eyes were fixated on Sharon's face. Although he knew he had a serious mental illness, and his feelings for her were morbid, he just couldn't control himself even when he clearly knew it was wrong.

As a matter of fact, he would do anything for her. Even if he had to kill the person she cared most about, he wouldn't even bat an eye.

Like a madman, Sharon roared with her hoarse voice and whimpered. While she kicked him and punched him with her fists like a trapped beast, she questioned him over and over again, "Why?"

Until the end, she was drained, and her body went soft as she knelt in front of her father's tombstone and cried her heart out.

The sky was gloomy, and the sounds of her weeping were sorrowful. In this world filled with tombstones, the way Sharon wept on the ground was a shocking sight to behold.

Silently, Shawn stared at her, only to feel that his heart was suffocating. As he tried hard to grasp for air, his hands that were hanging on the side of his body were clenched into fists.

After a long time, he bent down and wanted to pull her up.

"Whoosh-"

A muffled voice from Shawn's back flew over.

However, Shawn understood what the voice was. Immediately, his facial expression changed, and he shouted Sharon's name,

"Sharon, it's dangerous here!"

After that, Shawn ignored the wounds on his body as he grabbed Sharon and ran away.

Before Sharon understood what was going on, she roared in anger, "Let me go!"

Even so, Shawn still held her hand tight. How could he let go of her? As he ran, he told her, "When we get to a safer place, I will let you go. For now, listen to me and run!"

As soon as his voice fell, the sound of gunshots with silencers installed was heard from the top of their heads.

The moment Sharon realized what was going on, her face turned ghastly pale.

While they were running, Sharon tried to turn around to have a look, but her face became as pale as a sheet of paper.

Several people were chasing after them, each with a gun in their hands. They were the people's target. No, it was Shawn... Or maybe, they were after her.

In fact, Sharon wasn't sure whether those people were after Shawn or it was Isai trying to kill her again!

The only thing she knew was that she could not die here because she wanted to live to see Stanley and her two children!

In the meantime, when Stanley went to fetch the children, he felt a faint discomfort in his heart, as if it was being pressed by a stone, which made him breathless. Although he didn't know why he had

such a feeling, he pursed his lips and immediately sped up, hurriedly picked up the two children, and stepped on the accelerator to rush home.

Even when he hurried home, he still arrived more than half an hour later.

When he took out the key and opened the door, he realized that the house was quiet, and there was not even a single sound. The lights were not even on, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

"Your mother is sleeping in the bedroom." As Stanley held their schoolbags in his hand, he closed the door lightly. "Keep it down, don't disturb your mother."

The little girl ran directly to the bedroom before she even had the time to remove her shoes.

Just as Stanley was about to remove his shoes at the entrance, his daughter's voice suddenly came from the bedroom. "Daddy, mommy isn't on the bed. You're lying!"

Startled, Stanley subconsciously felt that something had happened. Without another word, he grabbed his phone and made a call. As a result, Sharon's phone was not answered at all. Immediately, he hung up the phone and turned on the location tracking app, which caused his body to freeze.

The location tracking app indicated Sharon was not at home, and she was in a suburban area far away from the city.

Shocked and anxious, Stanley immediately dialed Ryan's phone number. Even he himself didn't notice that his voice was trembling as he asked, "Sharon isn't at home. Did you lose her?"

What?

Instantly, Ryan rushed over. In fact, he didn't go anywhere, and he had been lingering around their housing area. Although he only spent five minutes to get his meal, Sharon still managed to sneak out without him realizing in that five minutes.

With a darkened face, Ryan stood in the living room and apologized, "It's my fault that I didn't keep an eye on her."

However, Stanley glanced at him and said nothing as he motioned for Ryan to look after the two children for the time being. Then, he took the car keys and immediately headed out. As he walked out, he made a phone call with an expression that was cold and tense.

At that moment, Sharon felt that even if she wasn't shot to death by a gun, there was a high possibility that she would've fallen to her death.

Plop-

Just as she was thinking about it, her feet tripped over something, and she was thrown forward, which caused her mouth to be covered with mud.

Fortunately, it was not the cement ground. Otherwise, her firm fall would've probably ruined her looks.

Their surroundings were completely dark all around. After Sharon tripped and fell, Shawn pressed her body to the ground to stop her from moving. When she turned her head and was about to struggle, Shawn made a gesture at her.

With a lowered voice, he said, "Hush! I'm trying to hear if they've caught up."

Then, Sharon turned her face away as she stopped struggling and slowly calmed down.

It wasn't that she didn't hate Shawn, nor she wanted to be with him. It was just she really couldn't do anything about it. In a situation like that, she had no choice but to suppress all emotions.

The surrounding atmosphere was very quiet. As Sharon lay on the ground, she could only feel the chills from the ground gradually creeping into her body. However, her body remained stiffened, and she didn't dare to move because she was afraid that if she made any noise, those people who were after them would follow the sound and find her.

Those men had guns, but they had nothing.

There were too many of them, and there were only two of them.

No matter how they looked at it, Sharon and Shawn were on the weak side.

After a long time, Sharon heard Shawn let out a long sigh of relief. When Sharon noticed Shawn's reaction, she knew she was safe for the time being.

Immediately, Sharon escaped from his arms, pushed him away, and ran backward.

"Sharon!"

With a low voice, Shawn shouted as he strode over and grabbed her by the arm, "Those people may be nearby. Where are you going?"
