Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 441

In the afternoon, while Sharon was talking to the two children, Stanley was working next to them. Occasionally, he would raise his head to look at the three most important people in his life, who were were all lying on the bed and whispering to each other. The scene made the corners of his mouth curl into a smile, which gave him the motivation to continue working.

The dinner was sent over by Anthony, but Sharon only ate a little since she had to watch her diet. When she was about to feed Sadie, Stanley suddenly stopped her. "Go and rest now. I'll take care of it."

Did he still know how to feed the children?

Well, she had not seen that before.

When they were staying in the little apartment in the past, it was always Sharon who fed the children.

Sharon watched them from the side, and to her surprise, he was good at feeding Sadie because not even a grain of rice was spilled.

In the evening, the children were quite sad when Anthony was about to take them away, so Stanley promised them that Anthony would send them back the next day. Upon hearing that, they left the ward with Anthony although they still turned their heads back quite a few times.

There were only two people left in the ward.

Coming out of the bathroom after washing his hands, Stanley saw Sharon turning her head to look out of the window, which put him in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Stanley walked over.

Before Sharon came to her senses, she had blurted out subconsciously, "I'm thinking about Shawn."

Stanley's body stiffened as he looked at her with a complicated expression.

Stunned, she licked her lips and struggled to convey the thought pulsating in her mind.

The atmosphere was especially awkward.

In the end, it was Stanley who broke the silence. "Why are you thinking about him?"

Despite his stolid voice, Sharon felt that he was trying to suppress his emotions. Reaching out to hold his arm, she looked at him and said, "Tell me the truth, what's wrong with Shawn? Is he... dead?" In response, Stanley closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

While trembling, Sharon held back her tears when she thought that she would cry. In an unusually calm manner, she asked, "Are you sure he's dead? Have you found his body?"

"The explosion happened very quickly. The moment you fell, the explosion destroyed the wooden hut and blew up the ground. Isai and Shawn's corpses were too close to the source of the explosion, so most probably they were... Well, their corpses... have not been found."

Perhaps that was just a euphemistic statement. To put it bluntly, they had probably been blown to pieces by the bomb. It was quite impossible to find the bodies.

Nonetheless, Stanley didn't tell Sharon these, which would further unsettle her.

"The corpse... couldn't be found?" Sharon muttered to herself. She was a sharp-witted woman, so how could she not understand Stanley's words? Shawn had most likely died a horrible death, although Stanley did not tell her directly.

Did he just die like this?

Sharon sat there in a daze. How she hoped that this was just a dream, but this was a fact so brutal that she could not ignore it.

Although she had thought of killing him personally to avenge her father's death, she had never imagined that he would die just like that. He had even sacrificed himself to protect her! Why did he do that?

Did he want to atone for his sins or to repent?

While blinking her eyes, she sensed something warm welling up in her eyes. As she stretched out her hand to wipe it, her tears flowed along her cheeks non-stop.

Why was she crying?

Shawn deserved to die. Wasn't that what he had hoped for? So why did she cry?

Just then, she was hugged by Stanley. While sniffing, she said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not crying for Shawn. I just hate him... 1-1.

"What's that?"

"I hate him for dying in this way. Does he want me to remember him forever? No, I won't. I'll forget him tomorrow!" Sharon laughed all of a sudden. "I won't think about him... No, I won't!"

While she was crying and laughing in his embrace, Stanley hugged her tighter until all emotions gradually drained from his face.

The next day, when Sharon opened her eyes, she was shocked by the people standing in the ward. "W-Why are you here?"

Those were the people that were close to her.

Ariah was the first to speak, "Of course we're here to see you. How do you feel now? Are you still in pain?"

Sharon shook her head.

While Melody, who was carrying a child, looked at Sharon, her eyes turned red. "You have been missing for a few months. We were all very scared as we couldn't contact you. About a week ago, when Mr. Jones told me that you were safe and sound, I was so excited that I wanted to see you, but he also said that you had not fully recovered, so he didn't let me come over."

Melody married Marshall a year ago, and now the child in her belly was the first child. Seeing that she was getting agitated, he immediately helped her to sit aside to calm down.

The two were a loving couple.

After so many years of ups and downs, he could finally marry her and lead a happy life together.

Undoubtedly, Sharon was moved by the people who cared about her, although they kept mumbling that it was her fault for not taking care of herself well. Therefore, she chose to remain silent while watching them with joy.

Just then, Melody felt a little unwell, so Marshall brought her away, and Only Sharon and Ariah were

left in the ward.

Rolling her eyes, Ariah sat down and asked, "What are you giggling about?"

"I feel that I'm too lucky."

"Why is it so?"

"For having people like you who really care about me."

Upon hearing that, Ariah curled her lips and uttered, "Oh, I'm flattered. Are you sure that you're really feeling well now?"

"Yes, I'm doing well. It's just that my back hurts a little. Other than that, I'm fine."

Walking to the side of the bed, Ariah lifted Sharon's clothes to take a look. The wounds were so horrible that she immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. How could Sharon endure that? She did not even complain about her pain.

Ariah didn't dare to continue looking at it, so she put her clothes down. Licking her lips, she said, "After you are discharged, I'll get you some medication to remove the scars..."

While stroking her chin, Sharon asked, "Am I badly injured? Your face is so pale."

She hadn't seen her own wounds since she woke up.

"N-No, it's not that serious."

"Really? Why would you look so pale if it's not serious? Are you still lying to me?"

"Hey, can you care about the wounds on your body? Don't girls always care about their looks? Why do you insist on knowing whether I was lying instead?"

"Of course I'm concerned about my injury. It's just that I didn't tell you."

Ariah was rendered speechless.

Following a sigh, she comforted Sharon, "It's just a little scar on the back which will be covered with clothes. Others won't be able to see it, so I guess it's still not that bad."

Judging from Ariah's response, she knew her injuries were certainly much more serious than what she had imagined.

It was girls' instinct to care about their looks, so they usually could not tolerate any scars on their bodies. Nevertheless, for Sharon, it was already a great blessing for her to return from Tasnil without being killed by Isai. A few scars in this case meant nothing to her.
