Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 77

Hearing the voice, Howard and Jimmy looked up in unison and saw the owner of the voice which they instantly stood up and shouted, "Jackson, why are you here?"

Jackson King was the eldest son as well as the heir apparent of the King Family.

He was the oldest among them and more experienced than them. He was very popular in their social circle. Not only Howard and Jimmy but also Stanley had the utmost respect for him.

Jackson sat down on the sofa and said, "I have a few days off. The owner of the club told me that you are here, so I come over to meet you guys."

His status and job scope were extraordinary that it was inconvenient for him to reveal too much.

Jimmy knew that he was from the special enforcement bureau, so he nodded to show his agreement and did not ask more questions.

Howard pointed to Stanley who was drinking alone in the corner. "I'm discussing with Jimmy that we should get his wife here so that we can get to know each other."

Hearing this, Jackson raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did Stanley get married?"

"Jackson, you've been abroad for many years, so it's reasonable that you don't know about it. He got married secretly a year ago. He didn't hold a wedding ceremony nor disclosing it to the public, so not many people knew about it."

"In that case, just call her here and meet her."

"Alright."

With Jackson's backing, Howard immediately went to make a phone call.

In the hospital.

It was just after eight o'clock when Melody began to send Sharon out the door. "Okay, you can go home now. I don't need you here.

Sharon did not move. "I said that I would stay here to take care of you tonight..."

"What's the use of you staying here? Your husband has arranged everything for me. I have a caretaker to look after me." said Melody.

Just now, a doctor came again and there was an obvious change in his attitude toward Melody. It was perhaps because Stanley had given him instruction beforehand. He even told her that she would have a caretaker to look after her tonight and asked her not to worry about anything.

"But..."

"But what? Go back quickly. Look at yourself. You're in such a mess now. Go home, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep. Bring me breakfast tomorrow, okay?"

Melody insisted on not letting her stay, so Sharon sighed and agreed. "You must call me at once if anything happens." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"What can happen anyway? Hurry and go now."

Sharon reluctantly went home. She didn't want to take the bus, so she took a taxi and returned to the villa. Hazel was still not home. When she went upstairs, she deliberately looked into the study and found that Stanley was not there.

Pursing her lips, there was an indescribable feeling generated in Sharon's heart.

She felt much more relaxed after taking a bath. As soon as she finished blowing her hair, the mobile phone in her pants rang.

Her cell phone had been temporarily confiscated by the police officer, but thanks to Jimmy, she got her phone back.

It was a call from Anthony. Sharon answered immediately, "Hello."

"Madam, where are you?"

"I'm in the villa."

"Please wait for me. I'll pick you up now."

Sharon was puzzled. "Where are you taking me to?"

There was a pause before Anthony said, "Boss was drunk and said he wanted to see you, so he asked me to pick you up."

After Anthony finished his words, he felt extremely guilty.

Wanted to see her?

Stanley never returned after she pissed him off at the hospital ward, but why did he suddenly want to see her again?

Sharon lowered her eyes. "Okay."

Anthony said that he would arrive in about thirty minutes, so Sharon began to clean up after ending the call.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Anthony arrived. Sharon changed into a fresh pair of clothes and got in the car. Seeing her attire, Anthony couldn't help asking, "Madam, are you going to wear this?"

Those people in the room were all Stanley's childhood friends. This was the first time that Sharon appeared in front of those people as Mrs. Jones, so Anthony thought that Sharon should dress up for the occasion.

Sharon looked down at her clothes. "Why can't I wear this?"

It was neither torn nor dirty. Why couldn't she wear it? Did she have to wear an evening gown just to pick him up?

Sharon assumed that her task was just to pick Stanley up, so she dressed casually.

Anthony nodded and smiled. "Okay, it's fine."

The people in the room were all noble gentlemen from rich and powerful families. Mr. King specifically ordered him to bring Sharon here without telling Stanley.

Anthony was just a small-time assistant, so he didn't dare to disobey those people's orders.

It was very silent on their way there. It was not until a time- consuming red light that Anthony found a topic to ease the awkward silence. "Madam, if you are very tired, you can take a nap. I will wake you up when we arrive."

Sharon shook her head. "I'm not tired."

"There is water in the car. You can drink some." "Oh, thank you." She was indeed thirsty. She took a bottle of water and drank it. When she looked up, Anthony inadvertently glanced around and saw tiny marks on her neck and chin, looking like scratch marks from fingernails. She must have been scratched when she had a fight with Jewel.

Anthony took a look at it and sighed. "Do you blame Boss?"

Sharon stopped drinking and looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"You must have felt distressed when Boss couldn't be there with you in the first place after you were bullied by Miss Russell."

The hand holding the water bottle tightened, The corner of Sharon's lips twitching. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't feel distressed."

So what if she felt distressed? She had no right to get his protection in the first place. He could only protect the person he loved, but she was not that person.

As the neon lights outside the window reflected on her face, grievance was obviously written on her face which was hard to ignore.

Anthony thought that Sharon was still a college student after all who was never exposed to the cruel reality. Although she didn't say it, she could not hide the grievance on her expression.

After thinking for a while, Anthony said, "On the night of the contradiction between Miss Russell and you, Boss and I were on a business trip in Grasmere. When we came back, I tried to call you, but because your phone was switched off, I couldn't reach you."

What?

Sharon was slightly surprised.

Stanley was not in Beachmarsh City? Why didn't he say so?

"In fact, Boss didn't know that it was you who had a conflict with Jewel. It was Captain Hudson who came to tell him. After he knew it, he was shocked, and of course, he immediately went to see you.

However, he didn't find you at the police station but at the hospital."

Anthony said as he looked at Sharon's expression from the rearview mirror. "When Boss drove to the hospital, Captain Hudson said that if it weren't for the fact that they were buddies, he would have personally arrested Boss back to the station for the violation of traffic laws. Madam, you weren't there to see how anxious Boss was when he rushed to the hospital to see you. He stepped on the accelerator to the end and even ran several red lights. It was crazier than car racing."

Sharon was stunned. Stanley was always so calm and composed no matter what happened. How could he lose his cool like this?
