Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 261

Sharon was stunned by Stanley's question.

What if her father never woke up?

This was a question that Sharon never thought of as she still had hope. Somehow, she even expected that a miracle would happen in the next second.

In her mind, her thoughts remained the same. If her father woke up, she would be doing this and that... But she had never thought that her father would sleep forever.

"I had never thought about this!" Sharon replied indifferently. "He will definitely wake up."

Hearing that, Stanley frowned, "What if he doesn't? What are your plans?"

After all, there was always a 'what if.

Shaking her head, Sharon said, "There are no 'ifs'. If my father doesn't wake up today, I'll just wait for another day. I can wait for the rest of my life."

As her father had done a lot for her in the past, and now it was her time to fulfill her duty as a daughter, so how could her father not wake up?

That was why Sharon could never accept this.

While Stanley was looking at her tightly pursed lips and the stubbornness in her eyes, there was a sense of panic that he had never felt before.

If she could not even accept the fact that her father might not wake up, then let alone his purpose in marrying her!

The more Stanely thought about it, the strength of his grip on Sharon's arm increased. Also, this was the first time Sharon had seen him acting so gloomily. So she worriedly asked, "What happened to you?"

With that, Stanley's pitch-black gaze fell on her face. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something. Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was exceptionally loud in the quiet study. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Letting go of her, Stanley stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nothing, I need to get this call. My work for today ends here. After answering this, I will accompany you to rest."

That made Sharon happy. "Okay!"

Stanley smiled at her response. Then he looked at the phone and saw that it was an international call all the way from Lofrana.

Seeing that, Stanley frowned as it was already so late.

"Hello," He answered the phone.

Though it was unknown what the other party had said, Sharon saw a drastic change in Stanley's expression. His face was pale with a mix of anxiety. "What's going on? Wasn't she always under drug control? Why did she suddenly go into a coma? How the f*ck did you guys handle this?"

Again, the other side said something, but Stanley interrupted them. "I don't care what methods you use or how much money you spend. You must save her! Keep in touch with me all the time. I'll take the latest flight there!"

After seeing that he had hung up the phone, Sharon stood up and walked over. Then, she raised her hand to caress his arms and could not help but notice how tensed his muscles were. He was

breathing rapidly as well.

Suddenly, Stanley hugged her, and she was stunned. But before she could react, his dull voice rang in her ear, "Sharon, my mom is now in the emergency room, and she's currently unconscious..."

What?

Sharon's eyes widened! It was unbelievable!

"Then... Hurry up and visit her!" Sharon did not expect things to turn out so suddenly.

"Call Anthony and ask him to book the fastest flight. I... I'll go with you!"

With a glance at her, Stanley quickly calmed down. Taking out his phone, he began to deal with all sorts of matters.

Later, finishing his work, Stanley pulled Sharon to sit down as he looked into her eyes. "Sharon, you can't go."

Taken aback, she questioned, "Why?"

"The long-distance flight is too harmful to the body. You are pregnant now, so you can't go with me. This is one of the reasons. Second, when we went for the examination, the doctor said that you had a weak body and the baby was a little unstable. You need to rest. For the first three months, it's important for you to stay put. Third, I can deal with it alone. If you go with me, I'll be distracted about your health."

Slowly, he analyzed everything to her. After listening to what he said, Sharon nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll stay home and wait for your return."

Stanley caressed her cheek and said, "Be good and wait for my return."

"Yes!"

As Stanley prepared to leave, he did not plan to bring anything with him. All he took was his phone and wallet, and was about to leave. Sending him to the door, Sharon watched as his tall and straight figure stepped into the darkness. Suddenly, she felt very flustered, as if something unexpected would happen if he went.

"Stanley!"

While shouting his name, Sharon ran over and threw herself into Stanley, hugging him tightly. Surprised, he did not understand why her emotions had suddenly exploded.

Turning around, Stanley held her. "What's wrong?"

In a muffled voice Sharon said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about... Your mother will be fine. So don't overthink it. I'll wait for your return with this little one."

Stunned for a moment, Stanley then raised his hand to wrap around her, sighing in his heart.

He knew she was afraid that he would be sad, so she rushed out to console him. He did not need much, as her words were enough to make him feel at ease.

Soon Anthony came over. In the deep night, he stood by the car and looked at the time. Finally, he interrupted the couple holding each other, "Mr. Jones, we're ready."

Hearing that, Sharon immediately let Stanley go. The rims of her eyes were red. Still, she forcefully endured their parting and urged him, "Hurry up and leave. Don't delay the time."

Lastly, Stanley gave her a deep look and turned to leave.

Standing in place, Sharon watched the taillights disappear from her sight. Only then she turned around and returned to her room.

The next morning.

The whole night passed horribly as Sharon could not sleep well. The first thing she did when she woke up was to call Stanley.

Unfortunately, his phone was still in stand-by mode.

Since Stanley was on a ten-hour long flight, and if her calculations were accurate, then he was still on the plane.

After putting away her phone, Sharon got out of bed and went to wash up. Last night happened unexpectedly, Hazel had already slept when Stanley was gone, so she was unaware of his departure.

Plus, Stanley had also instructed her not to tell Hazel about it. Firstly, he was afraid that Hazel would be worried, and secondly, he hoped that Hazel would be focused on taking care of Sharon.

The breakfast was very light and nutritious, but Sharon did not have much appetite. After two bites, she could not eat anymore.

Seeing that Sharon did not eat much, Hazel was a little worried. "If you don't eat, how can the baby in the belly get enough nutrition? Mrs. Jones, why don't you eat some more?"

Sharon truly had no appetite. However, seeing the expectant look on Hazel's face, she could not bear to reject her. In the end, she ate a few mouthfuls. Only then did Hazel clean up happily.

Hours had passed by.

Still, Sharon was waiting for Stanley's call. A few more hours passed, and she almost fell asleep while waiting.

In a daze, she heard the ringtone on her phone. Thinking that it was just a dream, but all of a sudden, she realized that it was not! The phone on the coffee table was ringing.

In an instant, she got up to take a look. It was indeed Stanley's number.

"Hello," she answered the phone immediately.

"Sharon..." Stanley's slightly tired voice came from the line. "I had just arrived."

Finally, Sharon's heavy heart could relax.

"We're on the way to the hospital. The doctor wants to inform me of some stuff related to my mom. I'll call you when I'm free. Don't go anywhere, and just stay home. Don't make me worry, okay?"

"You don't have to worry about me. I know what I'm doing."

"Right." Stanley lightly replied, "Then I'll hang up now."

Hurriedly, Sharon replied, "Okay."

Sharon knew that he must be very confused now, so she spared him the trouble and hung up the phone first, hoping that he would be able to focus on his mother.
