Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 269

Hazel pushed open the door of the ward and leaned out half of her body. Her eyes were swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse. "Lady Ember asked for the two of you."

With a nod, Sharon immediately stood up and went in.

Just as Stanley was about to follow her into the ward, suddenly his phone beeped. There was a text.

"Stanley, shall we meet?"

The sender was Shawn.

Seeing that, Stanley narrowed his eyes. Then he instantly replied, "Location?"

Needless to say, he had planned to meet Shawn as well. It was time they had a good talk about Sharon.

Not long after, Shawn sent him an address. "Tonight, I'll treat you and Sharon to dinner. Bring her with you. How about the three of us have a meal together?"

Bring Sharon?

Stanley sneered and did not reply to the text. Then, he put away his phone and entered the ward.

Walking in, he saw the three women of different ages sitting around each other. He did not know what they were talking about, but they were laughing heartily. Quietly, Stanley stood at the door and watched, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart.

By noon, Stanley intended to go to the appointment with Shawn. When Sharon asked where he was going, he just patted her head and smiled. "I'm going to solve a problem. So, please stay here and

accompany mom. I'll be back soon."

As Sharon thought he was going to deal with work, so she nodded her head obediently and said, "Well, remember to eat, and please don't starve yourself."

With a smile, Stanley agreed.

After watching him leave, Sharon withdrew her gaze and returned to the ward. When Ember saw her entering alone, she casually asked, "Where's Stanley?"

"Oh, he went back to work. I think he will not return for a while. But you have me here to keep you company."

Ember smiled and said, "Well, since he's not here. Sharon, accompany me to a place."

"Where?"

"To visit your father," Ember looked at her for a

moment. "I heard your father had been in a coma for a long time. As an in-law, I should have visited him a long time ago, but I never had the chance. Now that I have returned, I should do that."

Ember's request was out of Sharon's expectations. "But you are..."

"I'm fine. I came back yesterday and even took a flight for over ten hours. I bet the distance to visit your father will not be very far," Ember insisted. "Get the doctor and ask him to come with me. It won't be a big deal."

With no choice, Sharon called for the doctor.

Although her father was in another hospital, it would only take them thirty minutes to get there. Originally, Sharon wanted to find an opportunity and call Stanley to inform him she was

accompanying his mother to visit her father.

But she had zero chances as Ember kept talking to her, so she had left the decision of making a phone call behind.

Arriving at the hospital, Sharon brought Ember directly to the ward. As Ember looked at Sharon's motionless father, she sighed and patted Sharon on the back of her hand as she said, "You too are a poor child."

Giving her a faint smile, Sharon shook her head. "It's okay. Having Stanley and his child with me, my life right now is happy. I do not feel pitiful at all."

It seemed that Ember did not expect such an answer, so she glanced at her in surprise.

At this time, some doctors came to inspect the patient in the ward. Immediately, Sharon stood up and went to talk with the doctor, as she intended to ask about her father's recent health condition.

While in the ward, Hazel stayed silent the entire time. When she saw Sharon leaving, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you return this time to undergo surgery?"

Hazel had always known about Sharon's father's organs, but she kept the matter in her heart as Ember had been recuperating overseas. Now that she had suddenly returned to the country, Hazel could not think of any other reason.

Hearing that, Ember looked at Sharon's father, who was lying on the hospital bed, then shook her head and said, "I can't use another living person's organs to save my life. I can't do it."

"So you..."

"Let nature take its course. I've returned just because I want to live the last part of my life cherishingly and in peace."

Hazel froze at her answer, and her hands on her knees started trembling. "Are you saying that you're giving up your treatment?"

Ember cleared her throat and nodded.

Outside the ward, Sharon was asking Dr. Wallace. "Doctor, how's my father doing recently?"

"He's still the same. Don't worry, Miss Cruz."

The disappointment on Sharon's face could not be hidden when she heard what the doctor said. If it was still the same, then it meant that no miracles happened. It had been two years, and every night before Sharon went to bed, she would pray that miracles would happen to her father. Sadly, she was disappointed every time.

"By the way, Miss Cruz. I heard from other doctors that some time ago, someone inquired about your father in the hospital. The man seemed to have some connections, so he bypassed me and went straight to the director." Dr. Wallace frowned and said, " It seemed that he wanted to find out something about when your father had just entered the hospital a year ago."

Hearing this, Sharon was stunned. "Who was inquiring about my father?"

"I'm not sure about this. I just heard some rumors." Dr. Wallace paused then pointed to Ember in the ward, "That Madam seems to be seriously ill. Is she suffering from some type of chronic illness?"

Well, Dr. Wallace did live up to his title of being a doctor. He could tell whether the patient's condition was serious or not at a glance. Sharon pursed her lips and nodded.

Dr. Wallace sighed, "Then I won't bother you anymore. Miss Cruz, please contact me if there's anything you need."

When Sharon returned to the ward, she was shocked to see that Hazel was secretly wiping her tears. "Hazel, are you okay?"

Just now, Ember had told Hazel that she did not intend to continue with her treatment. After listening to that, Hazel was so sad that she could not control her emotions. "I'm fine. Some sand got into my eyes. Come in, Sharon. Tell me, what did the doctor say?"

In reply, Sharon shook her head. "It's still the same."

"Sime things can't be rushed. Your father will wake up one day. Don't worry." Ember took her hand, and she smiled gently. "Come here and talk with me for a while."

On the other side, Stanley pushed open the door of the private room and entered. He saw Shawn sitting on the sofa with a cup of wine in his hand while he sipped on it indifferently.

Seeing that Stanley had arrived, Shawn raised his wrist and looked at the time. "Well, would you look at the time! I thought you wouldn't come." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Despite Shawn's words, Stanley sat on the opposite side of him and poured himself a glass of wine. Then he chugged it down. After a while, he said lightly, "Shawn, this will be the last warning I'll give you. From now on, Sharon has nothing to do with you. She is my wife, so stay the f*ck away from her!"

Before replying to Stanley, Shawn put down the glass and the corner of his mouth curved. "Well, haven't you heard of the phrase, first come, first served? I met Sharon earlier than you. So, what gives you the right to have me stay away from her?"

Stanley slightly narrowed his eyes. "Does this mean you're going to pester us to the end?"

"Well, I'm a very stubborn and persistent guy, which means that I won't change what I've decided. It's the same when it comes to girls. If I like her, I'll only love her for the rest of my life."

All of a sudden, Stanley slammed a stack of files in front of him. With a cold expression, he said, "Love? Your so- called love is so cheap? You found a woman to be Sharon's substitute and even turned her appearance into Sharon's to satisfy the perverted desire

in your heart. You call it love, huh?"
