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
Eugene was stumped for words, and his mind was blank. He licked his dry lips after a while and asked, "Will she still be able to stand and walk around normally in the future?"“She won’t have any problems recovering and going back to living normally, but she may not be able to stand for too long. Otherwise, she’d feel intense pain in her backbone. Hence, you have to keep an eye on her.”Fern was wheeled out by a nurse as the doctor said this. Eugene looked over and noticed that she still looked disoriented. Her brows were furrowed. Was she still in pain even when she was out of it?He felt his heart tug fiercely. If he had known earlier that something like this would happen, he would have not agreed to let her go to the shoot no matter how much she would have argued with him or hated him for it!Fern was sent to the intensive care unit. Only after tomorrow when she was completely past the critical stage could she be moved to the ordinary single ward.Sharon lost her appetite whe
Sharon could understand what Eugene was feeling right now. Nobody would be in a good mood if the person they loved was lying in the intensive care unit after getting seriously injured.She placed the lunchbox beside him and said, “I’m leaving the food here. No matter what happens, you must eat. Otherwise, who will take care of Fern after she wakes up?”Eugene kept his head lowered. He did not say anything.Sharon said again, “I don’t think you have the time to take care of Rue now. I’ll fetch her back to my place so that she can play with Sebastian for a few days. How does that sound?”Eugene was worried about his daughter being home alone. Although there was a nanny at home, he usually went home every day to accompany her.His heart was fully set on Fern right now. He did not have the time nor ability to take care of his daughter during this period. It would be a good idea for her to stay at Sharon’s place for a few days.“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” he said, his voice dry a
Sharon had not caught her breath. She did not understand what he was implying.“What am I admitting to?” she asked as she glared at him angrily. He kissed her without any forewarning. Had she allowed him to do so?“You’re not happy that I’m living in the Zachary household because you don’t want to live apart from me, right?”Sharon met his gaze for a few seconds and admitted to what he said. “Yes, I’m unhappy, but I still went over to keep you company every day. I wanted you to tell me that you were going to move back in, but you…” she blurted out. He did not seem to care about her at all! If she had not gone over to see him, he would not have bothered to look for her!“You must know how much it hurts without me by your side now, right? Don’t ever push me to someone else ever again, even if it’s for our children’s sake. Do you understand?” He wanted to be the person whom she cared about the most. Sharon looked at him without saying anything. After a while, she finally understo
Sharon had already expected Penelope to come over and cause a scene. After all, Simon had just moved back to the Zachary household not too long ago. How could Penelope be willing to let him go so easily? However, she did not say anything. This was between Simon and his sister. He should talk it out with his own sister. “Sister, you came over so early. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and have some breakfast together before we talk?” Simon said slowly. His attitude angered Penelope. “I’m asking you why you’ve left the Zachary household again!” she said angrily. “I didn’t leave the Zachary household. You’re exaggerating,” Simon said nonchalantly. Penelope frowned and asked, “Didn’t you say that you’re moving out?” “The Zachary household is my home. This is my home as well. To be precise, this is the home I live in with my wife and child. Shouldn’t I live with them? Do you want us to live separately?” he asked calmly. With how things had turned out thus f
