Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 99

Outside the restaurant, Sharon stood beside the car in a daze. Panic was written all over her face as if she was frightened. Her mind was blank and she was in a numb state.

Anthony saw that she looked extremely pale and shocked. Thinking that she must have never seen such a violent scene at such a young age, he could not help but ask, worried, "Madam, are you in shock?"

His voice seemed to pull Sharon back to her senses. Her eyes darting around, she looked up at him, shook her head, and said hoarsely, "N-No."

Anthony sighed secretly. Even he was a little shocked by Stanley's wrath tonight, let alone a young girl like her.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something comforting, but he glanced at the person who came out of the restaurant and shouted, "Boss!"

Stunned, Sharon immediately turned her head to look at him. In the dark night, Stanley walked from the dark and emerged himself. She could hardly see any expression on his face, and his frosty gazes made her heart tremble in fear.

Stanley approached. Sharon opened her mouth and was about to say something when he simply brushed past her shoulder. He did not stop, not even giving her a bat of an eye.

Sharon froze, her stiff limbs hanging beside her body.

With a loud bang, Stanley got in the car and slammed the door shut.

"Anthony, go!"

Stanley's cold voice came out of the car, and even the temperature of the air seemed to have vaguely dropped.

Anthony was at Stanley's beck and call, so he pointed at the car door and said, "Madam, please get in the car. We'll leave now."

Sharon walked over with a pale face. As soon as her hand touched the door handle, she grimaced because of the pain. Her little face was as pale as snow, looking rather miserable.

Anthony immediately opened the car door for her. Sharon lowered her gaze, thanking him in a low voice. Then she bent down and sat in the car.

Behind the wheels, Anthony did not dare to make a sound. There was no light in the car where it was eerily dark and even the atmosphere in the air was cold.

The couple sitting behind Anthony didn't make any noise since they got in the car. Anthony fidgeted anxiously and not knowing what to say to ease the mood.

Sharon felt that her vision was a little dark, and felt a surge of chilliness surging her body. Her hands which she put on her knees were trembling.

She turned her head to look at him. He was covered with a gloomy aura and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

The air was slowly filled with the rustic smell of blood. Sharon shifted her gaze slightly and saw that some liquid was dripping from his fingers which were hanging on one side.

It was blood!

Her mind exploded, and she suddenly remembered that in the restaurant just now, Liam picked up a chair and smashed it on his body...

Was he injured?

Before she could react, Sharon had already taken action by stretching out to check on his injury. "Your hand..."

"Don't touch me!"

Before she touched his clothes, he shoved her away so hard that she flung to the other side of the seat and her head directly hit the car window with a loud bang.

Sharon's vision turned black, and she took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She turned her head and saw that he was looking at her with a pair of cold eyes and a blank expression on his face.

Stunned, Sharon stared at him blankly. His cold gaze made her feel like she was a complete stranger and it made her heart ache.

She supported herself by holding on to the car door and sat up straight. She took the initiative to shrink into the corner to keep a distance from him.

If he didn't want her to touch him, she wouldn't.

But she couldn't help saying, "You're bleeding. You need to get it fixed..."

A surge of anger burst out of Stanley's eyes, which was a rather terrifying sight. The blue veins on his forehead bulged and he said fiercely, "Shut up!"

For a moment, Sharon's face turned pale.

This Stanley made her afraid...

She pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking. Her hands were trembling uncontrollably, so she clenched her hands tightly, and her nails nearly dug into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.

She curled up her body and leaned against the door. She turned her head and looked out of the window. The shadow of the tree fell back, and the neon lights flashed. Eventually, the scene in front of her began to blur slowly... All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Anthony found something wrong through the rearview mirror. "Boss, Madam..."

Stanley tilted his head and his expression changed when he saw her fragile body falling down.

"Sharon!"

Sharon's vision turned black. Before she fell into unconsciousness, his powerful arm held her tightly.

Before falling into his arms, Sharon forced herself to say, "I... have nothing to do with him..."

Before she could finish her words, she passed out completely.

The thick and long eyelashes moved. Sharon woke up from the unconsciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling and overwhelmed by the smell of disinfectant.

She moved her body, and the heart-wrenching pain spread from her arms. Her facial features were wrinkled together, and her mouth was tightly closed. In the end, she couldn't help groaning because of too much pain.

"Hmm..."

She closed her eyes again to ease the pain in her body.

She recalled that she fainted in the car and couldn't remember what happened after that.

There was a noise from the other side of the door. She turned her head and looked over. Someone opened the door and came in.

It was Anthony.

Anthony saw that she had woken up and heaved a sigh of relief. "Madam, are you all right?"

Sharon opened her mouth and found that her throat was hoarse. "I... I'm in the hospital?"

"Yes. A few hours ago, you suddenly fainted in the car. Boss was very worried. When he arrived at the hospital, he directly carried you to the emergency room regardless of his injured hand."

Anthony remembered what happened a few hours ago. After Sharon suddenly fainted, the frigid and cold man suddenly changed his attitude when he held Sharon. When they arrived at the hospital, Anthony didn't even stop his car completely and Stanley pushed open the door regardless of the danger and rushed to the emergency room with Sharon in his arms.

Stanley was obviously nervous and worried, but he pretended to be cold and indifferent.

Anthony sighed, not knowing what Stanley was thinking.

Was he worried?

The corner of Sharon's lips jerked into a sneer. If he was worried, why did he treat her so indifferently?

Thinking of what happened in the car, she felt her heart was twitching.

"What's wrong with me? My arm hurts very much. What did the doctor say?" She ordered herself not to think too much and asked about her own situation.

"The doctor said it's not a big deal. Because of the heavy blow, your arm may swell in the next two days, so you can't use your arm at all for the time being," Anthony conveyed the doctor's report to her. "You fainted just because you were shocked. You will be fine after a few more days of rest."

"Okay."

Sharon nodded and struggled to sit up from the bed.

Anthony immediately walked over and said, "Madam, you'd better not move. Have a good rest, or your arm will hurt again."

Sharon waved her hand, indicating that it was okay, and slowly sat up, using all her strength. She pointed to the side and said, "Can you fetch me a glass of water, please? Sorry for the trouble."

"It's my pleasure, Madam."

Anthony immediately poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her. Sharon took it and hurriedly drank half of it as she was really thirsty. After thinking for a while, she said, "Anthony, I have a few questions for you. Can you tell me?"

Anthony nodded. "I will answer everything I know."

"Does Stanley and Liam know each other?"

"Yes."

"What's their relationship?"

Anthony pursed his lips. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Brothers."

Sharon was shocked. "Brothers?"

This is something she hadn't thought about. She had thought that they might not be on good terms and might have formed some kind of grudge before, but she hadn't thought that they would be brothers.

How could brothers be so cruel to each other? They treated each other like enemies!

Now thinking about what had happened in the restaurant, Sharon was astounded.

Anthony seemed to see through Sharon's confusion, so he said after thinking for a while, "Boss and Young Master Liam are halfbrothers of the same father. Their relationship has been bad since childhood. After so many years of conflict, neither of them like each other very much."

But the actual situation was much more complicated than what he said.

Liam's mother and Stanley's mother had a hard time getting along. Later, Liam's mother passed away which caused Liam to suffer from severe depression, then came Rebecca's affairs. The two brothers fell in love with the same woman, and their relationship grew worse day by day.

The direct cause of their complete fallout was when Rebecca passed away seven years ago.

When Anthony recalled the past, he looked a little worried, but soon he came to his senses. When he saw Sharon sitting on the bed, he sighed. Liam obviously approached Sharon deliberately to sow discord between Sharon and Stanley.

It was understandable for Stanley to be so furious when he saw the two of them together because Liam had gone too far in the past.

He snatched Rebecca away from Stanley, and now that he approached Sharon. His purpose was obvious and vicious.

Any man would be furious.

Anthony wanted to ask about the situation between Sharon and Liam, but seeing that she was not in a good state of mind, he suppressed his curiosity and simply said, "Madam, have a good rest. I'll see myself out."

After that, he turned around and went out.

"D-Did he see Liam kissing me?"

Sharon's hoarse voice sounded behind him before he went out.

Anthony pursed his lips and looked back with a serious expression. Then he nodded and said, "Yes."

At that time, Stanley was sitting in the car and looking at them coldly for a few minutes. When he finally decided to leave, they suddenly kissed which ignited his fury, which led to the follow-up fight.

"Madam, Boss doesn't like Liam. In fact, he hates him to the extreme..."

Sharon interrupted him expressionlessly, "Does he hate him so much that he will throw everything that Liam touches away mercilessly?"

Sharon heard what he said to Liam in the restaurant.

There was resentment in her words to which Anthony could hear. He frowned and felt a little indignant for Stanley. "Madam, you are Mrs. Jones. You should not go out for a date and dinner with another man by yourself now that you're married."

Sharon laughed. "It seems that you also know that I am married to Stanley. Now that we are married, why does Stanley still have a gossip with other women?"

Silence ensued.

Anthony was stunned.

Sharon blurted out angrily, "Since he can sleep with other women, why can't I go out for dinner with other men? Hmm?"

Anthony mumbled, "l-lt's not the same... He is a man..."

Sharon had no expression on her face. "Oh. So, men can do whatever they want, but women have to put up with it and turn a blind eye on their husband's affairs?
