Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 101

Sharon closed her eyes. She knew Anthony was in a difficult situation, so she asked, "Why doesn't Stanley let me leave the hospital? Does he want to imprison me?"

"Of course not! He's not that bad!" Anthony subconsciously took Stanley's side.

Sharon looked straight at him and said, "If so, why does he have people guarding outside?"

She was right. Someone was guarding her ward around the clock.

If no one was there, Sharon would have run away, but there were, they would say every time she opened the door, "Miss Cruz, if you need anything, just tell us. We can help."

Sharon could only hold back her anger and stay in the small ward.

Sweat trickled down Anthony's forehead. "I can't stay here for 24 hours, so Boss arranged for those people to protect you just in case you need anything and no one is here to help you."

Sharon sneered and said, "How is there no one? This is a hospital, and there are many nurses here."

In fact, Anthony didn't know why Stanley sent someone to guard her ward.

Anthony was even more confused since Stanley didn't come to the hospital in the past two days. Stanley was clearly worried about Sharon, but he didn't come over to visit her.

Even if he was angry with her, he shouldn't do it to this point.

Anthony sighed and said, "Madam, have a good rest in the hospital in the next few days, and please don't go out. When you recover, Boss will take you home."

Sharon hugged herself, pouting grumpily.

"Stanley must be imprisoning me. I can't think of any other possibilities," she thought.

She bit her lip and felt upset. She didn't expect Stanley to be so horribly ruthless.

Instead of asking her for an explanation or visiting her, he simply ordered his men to keep an eye on her.

She hated him!

In the doctor's office.

Howard checked Stanley's shoulder. The whole time, Stanley donned a gloomy and cold expression as if someone owed him money.

Howard knew that Stanley had been in a bad mood these days because he would look like this every time he came to change his bandages.

Howard patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to come tomorrow. You've recovered well."

Stanley glanced at him expressionlessly.

"Oh my god, it doesn't hurt?" Howard looked at his hand and said, "I should have slapped you harder."

As he said this, he wanted to pat Stanley's wound again.

"Hmm?"

Stanley threw a sideways glance at him with a scalpel in his hand which he fidgeted with it casually, a cold light shining on the surface of the knife.

Howard swallowed anxiously and embarrassedly withdrew his hand. He forced a smile and said, "Haha, I'm just kidding. You are a patient, and I am a doctor. How can I hurt you? What are you doing with this thing? Be careful not to hurt yourself. Come on, give it to me."

Stanley sneered and threw the scalpel aside. After rubbing his eyebrows, he asked, "How's her arm?"

"Who?"

Howard played dumb.

Stanley looked at him expressionlessly.

Howard did not dare to provoke him. "Do you want to know? Why don't you go and have a look at her yourself?"

"Howard, don't challenge my patience."

"She won't die. It's just a bruise that may already disperse these two days. She can be discharged from the hospital anytime now." Howard rolled his eyes.

Stanley fell silent and didn't say anything else. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Howard leaned on one side, took out a cigarette, and handed it over. Stanley said without even lifting his head, "Doctors offering to hand cigarettes to patients?"

Although he said so, he still reached out to take it.

Howard was speechless for a moment and said, "Anyway, what are you doing arranging those sturdy bodyguards at her ward? The nurses are so scared that they don't dare to walk there."

Stanley glanced at him and said, "It's better to avoid there so that it can be quieter and peaceful."

Howard chided angrily, "Your wife needs the nurses to help her change the bandages. If something goes wrong when the nurses are on duty, you will be responsible for it!"

Stanley frowned and wanted to ask if the nurses did something wrong while changing Sharon's bandages, but he restrained himself in the end.

He was still angry at her that the anger had not dissipated yet. He could not care about Sharon as before.

Howard saw the struggle in his eyes and sighed. "I heard something from Anthony. Did Liam, that b*stard, make trouble again?"

Stanley sneered.

"He either is very heedless of consequences or has a death wish."

Howard didn't understand Liam's intention in provoking Stanley. He knew that Stanley didn't like him, but he still caused all kinds of trouble and pissed Stanley off. Was he really not afraid that Stanley would kill him one day?

"Listen to me. Liam obviously approached Sharon on purpose this time."

Howard sorted out the matter gingerly and calmly told him, "Sharon is very likely not to know the grievances between you and Liam, that's why she keeps in touch with him. To be honest, it's very unfair to her if you divert your anger to her."

Howard did not stand at Stanley's side and stated his opinion based on the fact.

Stanley frowned hard, smoking a little harder.

Of course, he knew about this, but he couldn't control his anger whenever he thought of the kiss between her and Liam.

Howard looked at him and said, "Obviously, Liam deliberately tried to sow discord between you. Don't be tricked by him. if you are, he wins."

After finishing a cigarette, Stanley put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up, and went out without saying a word.

Howard sighed, wondering how much Stanley listened to what he said.

Stanley had not slept well for two nights, so he rubbed his eyebrows in exhaustion. Even if he donned a cold expression, his tall and slender self caused a stir as he strode in the hospital corridor with his long legs.

The nurses turned to look at him, who had an extremely outstanding appearance, and whispered among themselves.

Stanley looked steadily forward. Originally, he wanted to leave the hospital, but somehow he walked towards the ward.

When the two bodyguards saw him, they immediately stood up straight and greeted, "Boss."

Stanley waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes shifting. Then he raised his eyes and pursed his lips, looking through the glass with his dark eyes.

There was no one on the bed. He took a step forward and saw Sharon sitting by the window.

He couldn't see her face as her back was facing the door. He could only see her thin figure in the hospital gown. She sat there motionlessly, with a blank look on her slightly revealed side profile. He wondered what was she looking at.

Stanley stared at her and felt that she had lost a bit of weight. Her skin was haggard and pale.

He couldn't see the emotion in her eyes. He wanted to go closer, but suddenly thought of something, and then he came to his senses.

The coldness in his eyes gradually returned. Stanley looked away, took two steps back, left the door, and turned around to leave. He thought of something and asked, "Is there any strangers try to enter this room?"

One of the bodyguard answered truthfully, "No, except for doctors and nurses."

"Okay."

Stanley nodded and added before leaving, "Keep her safe. You'll be responsible if anything happens to her."

The bodyguard's heart missed a beat. "Yes!"

Stanley strode away.

On his way to the office, Stanley's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, thought for a while, and finally answered it, "Hello."

After hearing what the other party said, he agreed. "Okay, wait for me there."

After finishing his words, Stanley hung up the phone, turned the steering wheel in his hand, and turned to the right.

In less than 30 minutes, he arrived at his destination.

Stanley turned off the engine, opened the door, and got off. He saw Shawn's car parked on the side of the road from a distance. He stepped forward and asked, "Did the car break down?"

Shawn nodded and said, "I tried to fix it for a while to no avail."

It was Shawn who called just now. He didn't expect Stanley to come so fast.

"Leave it. Call the car repair company and ask them to come to tow the car." Stanley looked at him and said, "Where are you going? I'll give you a lift."

Shawn nodded and said, "Let's go then. I really need a ride."

The two men got in the car, and Shawn sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing that Stanley looked rather upset, he raised his eyebrows and joked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that you have to come all the way here to pick me up?"

After starting the car and leaving, Stanley shook his head and laughed. "No, it has nothing to do with you."

"Well, when a man is upset, it's usually because of his family dispute. Do you have a fight with your wife?"

Stanley smiled as he made quite an accurate guess.

"Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. How is it going with the people you found?"

"There's no progress, but I've found her mother. I'm sure I'll be able to find her soon when I meet her."

"I wish you success in finding your love."

Shawn smiled gladly. Soon, he would soon find his Sharon."

Stanley stopped to wait at a red light. His cell phone rang at this time. He looked at it and found it was from Anthony.

Stanley thought it was about work, so he said directly, "You can deal with the decision by yourself. You don't need to call me again and ask me..."

"Boss!"

Anthony interrupted him in a hurry and said, "Madam is missing!"

Stanley thought that he had heard it wrong. "What did you say?"

"Madam is missing, and there is no one in the ward. I have been looking for her all over the hospital, but I can't find her..."

Stanley's face turned completely cold, and there was anger in his gloomy face. "Anthony Charles, you will bear the consequences if you don't find her out before I arrive at the hospital!"

Stanley's rebuke scared the sh*t out of Anthony.

Stanley had never scolded him so severely, let alone such a harsh statement.

"I'm doomed. I'm sure I'm going to die this time!" he mumbled to himself.

Stanley threw away his phone and turned the car around, pursing his lips into a sharp line. "I can't send you to the place you're going. If you don't mind, I'll let you off by the roadside and you can take a taxi."

Shawn waved his hand. "Don't be so troublesome. Let's go directly to the hospital and see if I can help."

After thinking for a while, Stanley nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he drove straight to the hospital.

Anthony stood at the door of the ward. When he saw a bodyguard who came back empty-handed, the last glimmer of hope in his eyes disappeared.

"You still can't find her?"

The bodyguard shook his head. "I've looked for her everything, but I can't find her."

Anthony's expression was ashen. He couldn't even keep Sharon on guard. Stanley must be very pissed with him.

Just as everyone was in despair, there was a commotion in the corridor. Anthony turned his head and looked over. Two men came from a distance. One of them had a cold face, and his whole body exuded a frosty aura.

It was Stanley and Shawn, whom they had just met in Grasmere last time.

Anthony strode to him and said, "Boss..."

Stanley didn't even look at him. He went straight to the ward and looked for her himself.

It was empty.

No one.

He closed his eyes. There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, as well as a faint fragrance.

It was Sharon's fragrance.

Before he left the hospital, she was still sitting by the window in a daze, but she disappeared after he left.

"Anthony."

Stanley called him in a cold voice.
