Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 117

She looked up and saw Shawn standing at the door of the ward with two bottles of mineral water in his hand. His chest that was wrapped under the tight shirt was heaving. He was panting heavily, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Did he run back here?

Sharon looked at him in surprise.

Looking at her puzzled eyes, Shawn's face became blushed. He looked away and gently closed the door.

When he came to her, he squatted down again and cleared his throat. "They didn't have ice packs, so I bought two bottles of chilled mineral water for you."

As he spoke, he held her slender ankle with one hand and held the bottle with the other hand, gently applying it to her sprained area.

Sharon lowered her head and looked at his tall nose and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Sharon frowned. "What are you smiling at?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shawn looked up and his phoenix eyes were full of smiles. "Nothing. I'm just very happy that you're still here when I come back."

Sharon was stunned.

He must be so worried that she would be gone when he went out, so he ran all the way, ignoring the sweat on his forehead.

"When did I be in such a hurry?" Shawn thought.

When he came back and saw that she was still sitting there and waiting for him, he was very glad.

He was afraid that she would suddenly disappear like the previous two times.

In the quiet room, Sharon sat on the small sofa, lowered her gaze, and said nothing, holding the chilled mineral water bottle that Shawn gave her.

She put it on the edge of her feet and felt the bone-chilling coolness from the bottle.

After a long time, Shawn slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with your father?"

Sharon turned to look at her father on the bed and said, "He had a car accident."

Shawn frowned. "When was it?"

"Two years ago."

Shawn suddenly felt heartache. How anxious she must be at that time? But he was not with "Why hasn't he regained consciousness?" Sharon's father had been in this state for the two days Shawn was here.

Sharon smiled bitterly. "My father is in a coma. Can't you see?"

Shawn pursed his lips. Of course, he could see it, but he didn't want to admit it. When he heard her say it from her mouth, it was as if she was stabbing his heart with a knife.

"Don't worry. From now on, I will take good care of him," Shawn locked his gaze on her. "You two will be my responsibility. Sharon, I am back. I have the ability to take care of you."

Sharon opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she didn't need him to take care of her now, but her phone suddenly rang and the words stuck in her throat.

Looking at Shawn's sincere face, Sharon's heart was in a mess. She fumbled for her mobile phone and answered it directly without looking at the caller ID, "Hello... who is it?"

Who was it?

The handsome Stanley, who was sitting on the office chair, frowned.

"Your husband."

Said Stanley.

"Ahem!"

Sharon choked in shock and looked at the screen in a hurry. It was indeed Stanley.

She was confused just now and answered the phone frantically, but she didn't know who called.

"I-I'm in the hospital. I'm a little busy now..."

"If you dare hang up on me, you know the consequences."

Said the quick- witted Stanley who was signing his name on the document with the black pen in his hand.

Sharon gnashed her teeth, rendering her speechless.

"B*stard! I've never seen such an overbearing and aggressive b*stard before." she cursed inwardly.

"I really have something to do right now. I'll..."

"Have you eaten?"

"...Not yet."

"I'll ask Anthony to pick you up."

Sharon was surprised. "Are you going to dinner with me?" "You don't want to?" asked Stanley.

"No, I want to, but now I am in the hospital..."

"Why did you go to the hospital?"

Sharon lowered her eyes and lowered her voice as she said, "I- I'm here to see my father."

Realizing that something was wrong with her, he frowned and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Sharon quickly nodded. "Yes! Everything's fine. What can happen anyway?"

"That's good. Stay in the hospital. I'll ask Anthony to pick you up."

"Oh, you don't have to. I'm leaving soon. You don't have to ask him to come over."

"That's it. Wait there. Anthony will arrive in about 20 minutes."

"Hey..."

Without giving her a chance to talk at all, he directly hung up the phone.

Sharon was trembling with anger as she thought, "B*stard, do you know how to respect women?"

Standing aside, Shawn watched quietly. Every second passed, the tenderness on his face disappeared little by little until he was expressionless in the end.

As she talked on the phone, she donned a charming look on her face, and there was a hint of affection in her eyes, which made her look cute and innocent.

Shawn had never seen Sharon like this before. She looked pure and feminine, which tingled his heart.

Who called her?

Was he the big shot that Evonne said Sharon was with right now?

"Who is he?"

Sharon, who had just hung up the phone, heard a cold voice above her head.

Sharon lowered her eyes. What was coming would come eventually.

Sooner or later, he would find out about her marriage, so might as well she told him herself...

Taking a deep breath, she looked up and saw that Shawn was staring at her with his dark eyes, filling with a tinge of sadness.

She was stunned, and suddenly, she became timid. For some reason, she didn't want to explain it now.

What would he think of her if she told him the truth?

Would he scold her for being so cheap and marrying herself off to a stranger for money?

All of a sudden, she felt her body being restrained. Shawn pulled her up from the chair and his suppressed roar sounded in her ear, "Do you really have a sugar daddy?"

What!

Sharon looked at him incredulously.

"It's not that I don't want to ask more about your father, but I don't dare to ask. I am afraid that I will not like the answer. Sharon, you can't afford this ward!"

He hit the nail on the head, sounding vicious and heart-piercing.

Sharon's heart was bleeding from his direct remark. No words came out of her mouth. Her face was very hot as she was blushing.

Shawn grabbed her shoulder tightly and said, staring straight at her, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Sharon looked at him and smiled. "What else can it be? You're right. I have a sugar daddy. I can't afford the ward for my father as well as his expensive medical bills. A rich man approached me and said that he would help me settle all these with one condition, sleeping with him..."

"Bang!"

A slap landed on Sharon's face.

Shawn felt like he was a beast that had been aroused. His blood was boiling with anger, and his eyes were scarlet-red in rage. "Shut up! Don't say that. Don't say that!"

Sharon covered her reddened face, which was been slapped, and her whole body trembled.

Shawn slapped her.

She looked up at him, her face was terribly pale, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Shawn... You slap me... You slap me?" she murmured.

Sharon shook his hand away and retreated as if she was looking at a stranger.

Shawn came to his senses abruptly. He looked at his hand in utter disbelief, his face paler than Sharon's. "Sharon..."

His lips trembled violently. He reached his hand to Sharon, and his eyes were full of sorrow. "Sorry... I'm sorry..."

Sharon looked at him coldly. "Stop right there!"

The indifference in her eyes fomented him. Shawn lunged forward as if he had gone mad and held her tightly in his arms. "Why did you say that? Why do you want to irritate me?"

She shouldn't have said that kind of frivolous words!

Sharon was not that kind of person!

Sharon struggled. "I'm telling the truth. It's your own business that you can't accept it!"

"Why? Why did you do that?" Shawn muttered.

Shrugging, Sharon replied, "For the money, obviously. Why else?"

Her attitude completely provoked Shawn. His gazes were gloomy as he said, "You're willing to sell your body for the sake of money?"

Sharon nodded. "Yes. Do you know how hard it is to have no money? I had no food on the table and I was ridiculed and bullied. Shawn, in this era, money is everything. Some people can do anything for money. I'm not that noble. I can do some things for money too."

After finishing these words against her wills, Sharon felt her heart was wrenching in despair.

In this life, it was impossible for her and Shawn to be together.

He had already cut off the ties between them when he slept with Cecilia.

She was not being hard on him, but on herself. She was afraid that if she wasn't firm about this and realize the fact earlier, she would be softhearted and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

The fate between her and him had long been over.

Sharon pushed him away mercilessly and looked at him with no expression.

The ward was eerily quiet.

Shawn looked at her with a strange look, as if he didn't know her.

Sharon had never seen Shawn with such a frightful expression. There was a storm circulating in his eyes which looked rather horrifying as if he was going to devour her.

In the past, Shawn was always very gentle to her. He doted on her and pampered her very much. He would never raise his voice at her and would do whatever she wanted.

But now, there was anger and indifference in his cold eyes.

Time changed not only the situation, but also people's hearts.

Everything had changed.

Shawn reached for his pocket and took out his cigarette. When he was about to smoke, he glanced at Sharon's father on the hospital bed, put the lighter back, and simply sniffed the cigarette roll under his nose.

The smell of tobacco suppressed his emotions despite the anger that spread through his chest. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled brightly.

"Break up with that man. If you want money, I can give you as much as you want." Shawn pulled her into his arms and pinched her chin. "Sharon, from today on, I can be your sugar daddy."

Every word sounded so heart- wrenching. Sharon couldn't stand the way he looked at her as if she was an item.

She tried to push him away, but he was so strong that she couldn't nudge him even for an inch.

Sharon was infuriated. "Let me go!"

Shawn lowered his head and breathed on her earlobe as he murmured in a low voice, "Why should I? It's not easy for me to find you, so I won't let go."

His eyes were as mesmerized as if he had been bewitched.

He caressed her neck and cheeks with his soft lips that felt like feathers tingling her skin. He held her waist and pressed her body against his.

"I can give you money. I can help you arrange for your father to the best hospital. Be with me, okay?"

He was too familiar with her breath. These years, he had held her in his arms in his dreams. She always had this kind of breath that he was addicted to. He was so excited as he was surrounded by her breath that he started to feel excited and hot.

He took a deep breath, smelled her, and moved his waist.

Sharon went stiff and was unbelievable. Did he have an erection?
