Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 53

Sharon was stunned at first, and then blurted, "I don't love him!"

She regretted it the moment she said it out loud for expressing her inner thoughts so honestly. This man was Stanley's good buddy. What if he told Stanley about it?

Thinking of this, she quickly explained, "Dr. Perkins, I mean, I don't know much about him..."

"You don't have to explain. I understand. I totally do!"

Howard interrupted her with a smile, "It's great that you don't love him. Miss Cruz, let me tell you, Stanley doesn't deserve your love. If you fall in love with him, you will be sad in the future!"

Sharon frowned rather awkwardly. "Thank you for your advice, Dr. Perkins. I won't fall in love with him."

Hearing what she said, Howard was a little curious. "Stanley is very excellent in all aspects. You have been with him for quite some time now, don't you have any feelings for him?"

Sharon shook her head. "No."

Howard curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you."

"Dr. Perkins, if you were me, would you fall in love with a man who had a hidden agenda to marry you from the beginning?"

Howard was stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and squinted at Sharon.

He didn't expect that she would find out that Stanley had ulterior motives in marrying her.

Sharon got goosebumps from his intense gaze. "D- Dr. Perkins, did I say anything wrong?"

"Do you know why Stanley married you?" Howard thought for a while and asked.

Sharon nodded and said, "I think I know."

When she first married him, she was too lazy to think about these questions, but then something happened that made her start to ponder it.

"You think?"

"He married me because he wanted to protect... Jewel, I guess." This was Sharon's outcome from her consideration.

Howard was stunned. "What does it have to do with Jewel?" "Jewel is at the peak of her career now. If her relationship with Stanley is exposed, her career will be affected more or less. So I guess that's why he married me, to protect Jewel."

Howard was amused. Was something wrong with her intelligence? How could she come up with such an illogical explanation?

However, it was also good for her to be a little dull. At least, it proved that she was not a scheming person, and she would not plot against others behind her back.

After checking her body and made sure that she was fine, Howard gave her some ointment. Sharon took the bill and thanked him. Then she got up and went out.

Howard stared at Sharon's back and blurted before she left the room, "Think, Sharon. If Stanley is in love with Jewel, why would he marry you?"

Howard didn't speak for Stanley, but he couldn't bear to see Sharon so stupid, so he gave her a piece of his advice. "When a man loves a woman, he will not hurt her in any way. If Stanley loves Jewel, Jewel will be the first one he hurt by marrying you."

Sharon looked at him in a daze. She couldn't keep up with the information he gave.

What did he mean?

Was he trying to tell her that Stanley didn't love Jewel?

But...

What about the news on TV the other day? What about the intimate moment they shared in the restroom at the bar that she saw with her own eyes? Jewel also said to her face that she had been with Stanley for many years, and the relationship they shared was extraordinary.

"Well, Miss Cruz, you can leave now. I'm a little busy now. There are patients waiting outside."

"Okay."

Sharon pushed the door open and went out in a daze. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn't come to her senses until she returned to the ward and saw the tall man leaning against the wall.

She was quite a single- minded person. Whenever she could not figure out what was going on, she would immediately skip it to avoid her brain from being overloaded.

Stanley, who was standing by the wall, saw her. His dark eyes fell on her and he looked at her without blinking.

Sharon's heart fluttered when she was caught by his hot eyes.

She walked quickly over and was about to enter the ward when he lifted his long legs and blocked her way. "What did Howard say?" Scared of meeting his eyes, Sharon held the bill in her hand and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. It's just some superficial wounds. I'll get better in no time." "Okay."

Stanley nodded. When he thought of something, he frowned and asked, "Now can you tell me who the two women are?"

Sharon licked the corner of her lips and hesitated. Then, at the thought of how he helped her out of the predicament, she said, "That's my mother and my half-sister."

Stanley was stunned.

Did he teach his mother-in-law and sister-in-law a lesson in person?

Stanley's lips twitched. He massaged his temple that was aching a little and stared at her pale and tender side profile. "Do you blame me?"

Sharon was stunned and looked up. "What for?"

"For hurting your family."

Sharon said indifferently, "They are not my family. Have you ever seen a family member who will partner up with another family member to bully one of them?"

Stanley was rather shocked and thought, "This girl is really my cup of tea!"

"She is not the type of noble idiot. She can cut off ties with people very boldly!"

"She is ruthless in a sharp way!"

Stanley stared at her little face and his Adam's apple bobbed. "What is their last name?"

Sharon was taken aback. "Who?"

"Your family."

"My mother is Evonne Murray, and my elder sister's name is Cecilia Casey." After a pause, she looked at him in confusion. "Why do you want to know?"

"Nothing." Stanley's eyes fell on her hand. "Is that your list of medications?"

Sharon nodded. "Yes."

Stanley took the list from her hand and pointed inside the ward. "Let's go in."

"Is he going to take the medications for me?" Sharon thought.

Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she still went in obediently.

As soon as the door of the ward was closed, Stanley turned around, handed the list over, and Anthony immediately took it from him.

Stanley said lightly, "You heard her. Check them out."

Anthony answered, "Yes."

Stanley pushed open the door of the ward and entered. Sharon was closing the window which was a little high for her to reach, so she stood on tiptoe to tug the curtain. Her body was leaning forward slightly, revealing the curves of her body in front of him.

The jeans wrapped around her curves tightly, forming a beautiful shape. She looked very slim, and the exposed skin was also fair and pinkish.

Stanley's eyes grew deeper as he fixated his gaze on her. He remembered that night in the study when she was lying on the desk, and he had made passionate love to her over and over again.

A sense of frustration arose in his heart. He looked away, took two deep breaths, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

If it was somewhere else, he would definitely hug her and make love to her. However, this was the hospital ward where his father-in-law was lying on the bed. It wasn't appropriate to do the deed in front of the unconscious man, let alone this man was his father-in-law.

Sharon, who was closing the window with her back at him, did not know that she had escaped the intimate deed.

She wanted to close the window as the wind was blowing and she was afraid that her father would catch a cold. When she turned around, she saw Stanley standing quietly in front of the door, looking at her with deep eyes.

Being stared at by his burning eyes, Sharon stood in front of the curtain and bit her lip.

"Come here!"

Stanley said in a deep voice.

Sharon stood still. "Why?"

"Come here! Don't let me repeat it for the third time!"

She curled her lip and thought, "If I don't go to him, he will be angry with me again." She took a small step and slowly strode toward him.
