Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 167

Shawn stared at Sharon's anxious face and smiled slowly. "I'm fine. Are you worried about me?"

"Of course!"

He was still recovering from a gunshot injury. An extra cut wound made it worse.

Shawn stared at her face, his eyes full of tenderness.

Stanley sneered silently.

Soon, Peter called the nurse over. The nurse immediately cleaned the cut wound on his palm and applied for medicine, which took quite a long time.

In the end, he was fine.

Sharon breathed a sigh of relief.

Peter cleaned up the shattered glass, and Sharon helped him to deal with it while muttering, "The quality of your glass is too lousy. Don't buy this one."

Peter smiled bitterly. How could Mr. Lewis not be angry when she was so intimate with another man in front of him?"

It was fortunate that Shawn could suppress his anger and did not beat anyone.

Of course, Peter didn't dare to say that out loud.

After cleaning up the mess, Sharon looked back and was stunned when she found that Stanley was gone.

He was standing in the corner just now. Why was he gone now?"

Where did he go?

She was about to go out to look for him when Shawn called after her, "Sharon..."

Sharon turned back and asked, "What?"

It was in the afternoon when the warm breeze blew into the ward from the slightly ajar window and blew on her hair and skirt. Shawn was astounded when he looked at Sharon standing in the warm light, looking serene and elegant.

She had grown up and looked so beautiful and gentle.

He loved her even more uncontrollably. He had only fallen in love with this woman in his life. He would only marry this woman in his life. He wanted this woman to die with him at the end of his life.

He would make sure she came back to him.

Shawn smiled and walked over to her step by step. "Nothing. I just want to say that you are very beautiful today."

Before Sharon spoke, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Stanley said coldly, "Are you done?"

Sharon looked back and found that Stanley was standing by the door, with a cigarette in his hand, and the smoke was rising up.

"Where did you go?"

Sharon naturally turned around and ran to him. Her movements were brisk and affectionate.

Shawn's hand, which he raised to touch her just now, became stiff in mid- air, and his expression was somewhat dull.

Stanley glanced at her and flicked the cigarette between his fingers, reluctant to answer her.

Sharon rolled her eyes at him and said, "Smoking is prohibited in the hospital."

"Talking to me about rules?" Stanley looked at her with a faint smile. He bent down and lowered his voice as he said, "The rule is that you're my wife. You're not supposed to get too close to other men, but you meet your exboyfriend again and again behind my back, huh?"

He was standing so close to her that she could clearly smell the scent of tobacco on his body. It was faint and a little fragrant.

Sharon's heart beat a little fast and she was a little stunned. Was he angry again?

What again this time?

Sharon thought about it. Was it because she went to stop the bleeding for Shawn just now? Was that why he was upset?

Why would he be angry with such a trifle matter?

Sharon opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but Stanley stood upright and ignored her, looking straight over her shoulder to Shawn behind her. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Did you get your cut wound treated?" he asked.

Shawn nodded.

Stanley smiled. "If so, let's go to the cafeteria together. I've always wanted to treat you to a meal in Beachmarsh City. Thank you for taking the initiative to treat me last time in Grasmere, but I didn't have a chance to return the favor."

Shawn also smiled. "Don't mention it. It's just a meal."

"I have to."

"No, you don't have to. Really."

The conversation between the two of them indicated that they were acquaintances.

Sharon widened her eyes in awe and disbelief.

Sharon hadn't composed herself even as they arrived at the hospital cafeteria.

Did Stanley know Shawn?

It seemed so.

Although they didn't clearly state it, she could sense something fishy from their conversation.

They would not engage in such conversation if they were strangers.

Sharon was completely confused. Looking at the two men walking side by side in front of her, she could only follow them dutifully.

The staff in the cafeteria had never seen two men of such charming quality here. Their every move was full of the charm of mature men.

Some nurses who came here for lunch were also looking at them.

When the two men ordered the food and went to the table, Sharon followed them. When she was about to sit down, a sharp and dangerous look shot at her. "Where are you sitting?"

Sharon suddenly came to her senses and muttered, "Huh?"

Stanley was looking at her coldly.

Sharon was puzzled. What was wrong again this time?

Shawn smiled and said, "Since Sharon wants to sit beside me, why should you make things difficult for her, Stanley?"

Sitting next to him?

After hearing what he said, Sharon reacted and hurriedly looked down. Sure enough, she almost sat next to Shawn.

What a big misunderstanding!

She was in a daze just now, thinking about their affairs, that she didn't realize where she was sitting.

Moreover, it was just a seat, wasn't it? What difference did it make where she sat?

Sharon was speechless.

It seemed that Stanley didn't hear Shawn's words. His eyes were fixed on Sharon. He reached out and patted the chair beside him. "Be good and come here."

Sharon knew that Stanley would not stop until he reached his goal.

If she didn't sit next to him as instructed, he would definitely lose his temper again when they went back later.

In order to save herself from his wrath, Sharon listened to him and sat down beside him obediently.

Shawn lowered his eyelashes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Stanley's expression looked much better after Sharon sat down.

The three of them were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, but they still attracted unwanted head- turning and curious glances.

The three of them were too conspicuous that it was hard not to notice them.

Sharon couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. As soon as she sat down, she immediately asked, "Well, do you know..."

"This soup is very nutritious and good. You should drink more."

Stanley interrupted Sharon before she could finish.

Shawn smiled. "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge on these things."

"Nah, I don't, but in the two days when I was recuperating, Sharon often studied some medicinal tonic soup and boiled them for me, so I remembered them." Stanley's face was full of smiles.

Sharon squinted at him, speechless.

When did she do such things?

Stanley was obviously lying.

Shawn's hand that was holding the spoon tightened, but he also smiled faintly. "It's true. Sharon always loves cooking and improves her cooking skill. Did you remember, Sharon? During the summer break when you were in junior high, you often modified the recipe and cooked for me. I gained 5 pounds that summer. You studied some recipes every day and didn't want to waste food, so I had to finish them if you couldn't."

Sharon frowned at Shawn, dumbfounded.

When did she do such a thing?

She didn't do it at all!
