Chapter 54
Chapter 54
As soon as Sharon got close to Stanley, he pulled her over so hard that she fell into his arms and hit his chest with her forehead.
"Hiss."
"It hurts."
"What the hell? Why does he have to have such hard chest muscles?" she complained in her heart.
"You didn't go home last night. Did you stay in the hospital taking care of your father?"
A deep and steady male voice came from the top of her head. Sharon leaned her ears to his chest, so she heard his voice from his chest.
It was quite a wonderful feeling.
His body was very hot, and Sharon's face began to heat up as well. She hurriedly pushed him away and gave an affirmative hum while avoiding his gaze.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"The phone's battery was dead."
"So that's why," Stanley thought.
Stanley's depressed mood that lasted for the whole night was finally lifted, albeit slightly.
"Who called you last night to ask you to come to the hospital?"
"Dr. Wallace."
Stanley nodded and took out his mobile phone. Sharon looked at him suspiciously. "What are you doing?"
"Call Dr. Wallace and let him come to see your father." "There's no need to do so. He came to check on my dad yesterday and this morning, and he said that my dad's doing fine..."
"You know the situation, but I don't." Stanley interrupted her with a deep look in his eyes. "Besides, I would like to know about your father's situation."
Sharon's heart beat faster because of his serious glances and tone. She obediently said, blushing, "Okay".
About ten minutes later, Dr. Wallace rushed over.
Some high-position executives of the hospital also rushed over along with him. They probably knew that Stanley was in the hospital and wanted to mingle with him.
Before the director of the hospital left, Stanley suddenly asked while rubbing his chin, "Director Bailey, is there a blacklist in the hospital?"
Director Bailey was stunned and clueless. "Mr. Jones, what do you mean?"
"Starting from today, make a blacklist in the hospital. Anyone, patients and families, who make trouble in the hospital will not receive any treatment. I'll give you two names later and put them in a permanent blacklist."
Stanley was the largest shareholder and supplier of the hospital, which made him Director Bailey's leader.
As his subordinates, they could only listen to what the leader said.
Director Bailey nodded immediately and said, "Okay, Mr. Jones. I'll handle it myself."
Stanley casually took the pen and paper from Dr. Wallace, wrote down two names, and handed it over.
Standing by the side, Sharon glanced around and spotted him writing down Evonne and Cecilia's names on the paper.
She looked at the tall man beside her in a daze. For a moment, she felt confused and bewildered that she couldn't say a word.
Did he do all these to avenge her?
After seeing off the director, Stanley returned to the ward and asked Dr. Wallace about Sharon's father's condition. Dr. Wallace updated him, and then smiled and said, "Miss
Cruz was quite sad yesterday."
Stanley squinted at Sharon beside him and asked with a faint smile, "Oh? Did you cry?"
Sharon pursed her lips without saying anything.
Dr. Wallace blurted nosily, "She cried and looked pitiful. Fortunately, there was someone accompanying her at that time..."
Upon hearing this, Stanley narrowed his deep phoenix eyes. "Someone accompanied you? Who was the person?"
Dr. Wallace's eyes darted around frantically and thought that he was doomed as he must have said something wrong!
He managed a dry laugh. "Uh, there's a patient I have to go and check. Mr. Jones, you can always call me if you have any inquiries. Excuse me."
After that, he slipped away.
Sharon rubbed her forehead as she was stared at by the man's sharp eyes, thinking about how she should describe Liam to him.
"Uh, he's just an ordinary friend. I was robbed by a thief on the street the other day, and he helped me out of righteousness. The thief even stabbed him in the process. Yesterday, when I came to the hospital, I happened to meet him who was here to replace his bandages. So he accompanied me for a while and left an hour later."
Sharon briefly lamented the story about her and Liam.
Hearing this, Stanley sneered and said, "It seems that he is your benefactor."
Why did he look like he was displeased?
"Well... sort of," Sharon said vaguely, unsure of why he was angry and dared not provoke him.
Stanley stared at her evasive eyes. "Since he is your benefactor, you should thank him. Find some time and ask him out. I'll treat him to a meal."
Sharon was feeling rather awkward. "Uh..." Stanley snorted. "Why? you don't want to?" "No, I just don't think it's necessary..." "I think it's necessary!" he raised his voice. "He's just someone insignificant. It's just a waste of your precious time to meet him." Stanley pursed his lips into a thin line, feeling that she didn't want him to see that man.
Sharon simply felt that it was awkward for her to meet Liam again after the "kissing accident", so she didn't want Stanley to meet Liam as well.
Just as they were having different thoughts, someone knocked on the door.
Stanley said coldly, "Come in!"
Anthony pushed open the door of the ward, holding a bag in his hand. "Boss, I've taken the medication."
Stanley took it with one hand and put it into Sharon's hand, looking rather unpleasant, "Apply the ointment."
With that, he turned around and went out.
Outside the ward, in the smoking area.
"Got it?"
Stanley asked in a low voice.
Anthony nodded and said, "Yes, I got it."
"Tell me." Anthony was always very amazing in his working ability. This was what Stanley was most satisfied and impressed with him.
"Madam's biological mother is Evonne Murray. She married Jordan Casey, the president of Cascade Enterprise. Cecilia is their eldest daughter. I don't know if Cecilia was born before Evonne married Madam's father, or... she was an offspring from an affair."
Stanley looked down and sneered. After meeting Evonne, he felt there was a possibility that it was the latter.
"Go on." "Evonne left the Cruz Family when Madam was very young. After her father's accident, Madam had visited the Casey Family in-person to borrow money, but I'm not sure if she managed to
borrow it." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Stanley remembered Sharon's pitiful look when he first saw her. She lived in the cramped basement who looked no better than the homeless man. If she had borrowed money from them, she would not have been in such a mess.
"After that, Evonne seemed to have broken all ties with Madam and she never came to visit Madam's father ever. However, for some unknown reason, she suddenly came to the hospital yesterday and met Madam's father alone, which as a result, something happened to him. Fortunately, it was nothing serious. As for today, I don't need to elaborate more since you saw it on your own."
Stanley took a drag on his cigarette, closed his eyes, and spat it out. After a while, he said, "Go and dig out Jordan Casey's information. If Cascade Enterprise can afford the suppression of Jones Group, he is rather worthy for survival in this world, or else, it will be useless to keep such a company around." Anthony understood that Stanley did not get agitated easily, but when he did, no one could withstand his wrath.
However, Cascade Enterprise was not a big company and it obviously couldn't tolerate Jones Group's suppression.
Not many companies in Beachmarsh City could withstand the pressure from Jones Group, let alone Cascade Enterprise.
Anthony nodded. "Yes."
"And..." Stanley narrowed his eyes as he thought of Sharon's earlier hesitation. After a moment of thought, he said, "There was a man accompanying Sharon yesterday. Check the surveillance footage if you have time and find out who he is."
Anthony was stunned. "Is it urgent? Do you want me to go now..."
"No, it's not urgent. Just get started with the Casey Family first."
"Okay."
