A day passed in the blink of an eye. After having dinner, Simon was back in the study working.He was attending a virtual video conference that was taking place internationally. While it was nighttime over here, it was daytime over there.Sharon silently cursed the other party in the video conference. 'They’re not even bothered about his health and are having a meeting at this hour?'However, if she were to forcibly interrupt him and stop him from attending the video conference, Simon would definitely be mad.It was already so late and Sharon wanted him to turn in for the day. She had no idea when the video conference would end.She thought for some time. Since she could not force him, then she should use a more gentle approach. Riley had told her before that a man could not resist women acting coquettishly.Sharon looked at the clothes she was wearing that day. She was wearing a knee-length skirt and a small collar top with her back exposed… 'It's a little sexy, right?'If thin
"Er… Well, since you're not going to continue with the meeting, then you’d better get some rest," Sharon said, wanting to get up immediately and be freed from his arms.At that moment, Simon's huge palms grabbed her waist. His handsome face inched closer to her. He said with a deep, dangerous, and hoarse voice, "Thinking of running away, huh?"His overwhelming aura suddenly enveloped her, making her heart pound hard.She blinked her eyes while looking at him innocently. She put on an act, asking, "What are you talking about? I just want to stop you from continuing with the conference and get some rest."Simon squinted his dark eagle-like eyes, and his long fingers pinched her delicate chin. "Are you that eager to get some rest? Is it because when I’m not around, you're unable to fall asleep? Then you should’ve told me sooner and I’d have accompanied you to sleep."His deep and hoarse voice obviously carried a hidden meaning."Mm, it's getting quite late. You should call it a day.
On that night, Sharon was unable to leave the room, and in the end, she spent the night in the Zachary household.The next day when she woke up, Simon had finished brushing his teeth. He came out of the bathroom and saw her with an awful expression."Still upset?" He looked at Sharon with a vague smile."I said I wanted to go back, yet you insisted…" She paused and then added, "I didn't head back home at all last night. I wonder how Sebastian is doing?""He's with Claude. Nothing's going to happen." Simon had it all arranged long ago.Looking at Simon's carefree appearance, she pouted and said, "You're too rough!""Huh?"…Simon was unsure whether or not Sharon was unhappy. After spending one night in the Zachary household, she no longer accompanied Simon for his rehabilitation and no longer kept him company every day like how she used to.She returned to her laboratory and started working earnestly.Simon thought she would return once she was no longer mad and kept waiting f
"Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital and do a check-up?" Riley noticed Sharon's expression had changed for the worse.Sharon snapped out of it and subconsciously shook her head. "No need for that. I can go by myself." Only then she realized that she had not had her period for over a month."You really don't need me to accompany you?" Riley could not stop worrying about Sharon.Sharon shook her head, looking determined. "You should stay at home and take a good rest." \Sharon was feeling perturbed and did not know how she was going to deal with it if the report revealed she was indeed pregnant.She did not linger and immediately headed to the hospital."Congratulations, you've been pregnant for five weeks." The doctor passed the report to her while speaking.Suddenly, Sharon felt as if a storm had hit on a sunny day. She felt dizzy and nearly could not stand still. She quickly supported herself with the table. "What… What did you just say?"The doctor offered her a h
When Sharon came back to her senses, she cried and muttered apologies to the child. The scenes had triggered Sharon, and she was a little restless. Unconsciously, she lifted her hand and stroked her stomach. Riley stretched out her hand and held hers. “Shar, you don’t have to do it if you’re scared. Look, even though Sebastian inherited the madness gene, isn’t he doing just fine?” She really did not want Sharon to suffer like this.A trace of hesitance flashed in Sharon’s eyes but she very quickly said, “No, I can’t gamble on something like this. This is a life we’re talking about. If I give birth to an unhealthy child, they’ll only resent me in the future.”Riley opened her mouth, but her initial words of advice were stuck in her throat. In the end, she could only swallow them back down as she was afraid to say them out. If she persuaded Sharon to deliver the child and they ended up being unhealthy, she would be at fault for giving careless advice. The two of them waited for a
Sharon and Simon both remained motionless for a while. The nurse could not help but urge, “Will you still be having the operation? If you’re not, I’ll let the next person in.”Sharon immediately responded, “I’m doing it.”Simon looked at the nurse coldly. “Who dares do it for her?”The nurse was at her wit’s end. Noting Simon’s cold expression and his aura that demonstrated he was not someone to be trifled with, she could only say, “Why don’t both of you go back and talk this out? You can come back once you’ve made your decision. Let’s not delay the people after you, alright?”Riley also advised Sharon in a quiet voice, “Why don’t you give it some more thought? This is a child’s life, after all.”Simon looked toward Sharon and said, “If you’re so worried, I’ll go with you to see a doctor. If in the end, he says that the child can’t be delivered, I’ll respect your decision. How about that?”In all honesty, Sharon was also sad about her decision to not have the child. She would not
“If you aren’t angry, then why are you ignoring me all of a sudden?” He could not understand what the woman was thinking. Seeing the man in front of her still pressing on and demanding her for an answer, she continued turning her gaze away.This man was also of a one-track mind. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, should he not stop pestering her for an answer?What did he want her to say? Did he want her to say that she was playing hard to get to see if he would get used to not having her around or if he would look for her instead?“I wanted to do my work. I accompanied you for so long. I can’t leave all my work behind, can I?” She knew that this excuse was so lame. Even she did not believe it, so how could he?“Didn’t you say that I’m more important than your job?” His question stopped her next words.“I…” She bit her lip. Suddenly, she thought of something. Raising her brows, she cast him a sidelong glance. “What’s the matter? Are you anxious because I haven't gone to see you
“Fern had an accident. I’d like to check up on her.” Sharon could not help but worry when she heard that Fern had fallen off a horse.“Do you want to starve my child?” Simon raised his brows lightly. She was the one who said she was hungry.Sharon coughed gently. “I’ll go see what’s going on first. I’ll eat later. I won’t starve the baby.”Simon knew there was no stopping her. Her focus had shifted to Fern’s injury.At the moment, only Eugene and Fern’s assistant were in front of the door to the emergency room.“Brother, what happened? Weren't there protective measures taken during the horse riding scene? How did she get thrown off the horse?” Sharon asked as she glanced at the light above the emergency room. She wanted to know more about the situation. Eugene sat on the bench, one hand pinching the space between his brows. He looked very worried.Perhaps Fern’s injury was so serious that he was not in the mood to speak at a moment.Layla answered in his stead, “We’re also uns
