Sharon lowered her eyes and organized her thoughts before saying, “I’m sorry for not visiting you during the past two days. I was afraid that you’d still be mad at me.” Simon was silent for a moment before he snorted. “Who did I suffer this injury for? Even if I'm angry, that doesn’t give you the right not to visit.” This woman simply had no conscience. Why was she making excuses? “I was just afraid that you’d get angrier when you saw me, and that it would affect your recovery.” “I thought you were just too busy cuddling Eugene Newton and totally forgot your identity. How could you find the time to visit?” Simon refused to believe her. “I… you’ve misunderstood!” “What's there to misunderstand?” He saw it with his own eyes. How could there be a misunderstanding? “There’s really nothing between Eugene and i. To me, he’s just my boss. That day, he hugged me to comfort me. I was injured at work and he felt sorry about it.” In truth, she still had not figured out what Eugene
“It’ll be the best if you keep to your word. Remember your identity. I don’t accept betrayal,” Simon reminded her in a cold voice. “I knew that you were the best!” In her excitement, she suddenly hugged him.He hummed nonchalantly in response. She tried to let go of him immediately after recalling the fact that he was injured. However, his large palms clasped onto her back tightly, preventing her from leaving his arms. “Did I touch your wound?” Sharon asked anxiously. “Yes…” Simon replied in a low voice. He held her in an embrace, her fragrant scent lingering about his senses. The haze of the past few days dissipated almost instantly. Sharon did not dare to move around. “Let me go at once. If you hurt yourself one more time, it’ll be my fault once again,” she said. His sister would never forgive her for this.Simon sniffed nonchalantly. “Fortunately, you still remember who I suffered all these injuries for,” he remarked. He still did not let go of her. Sharon leaned agains
Sharon’s cheeks flared up with heat. She had believed Rebecca’s words easily without giving it further thought after she told her tearily that Simon had forced himself onto her. After all, no woman would joke about something like that. She would never have expected that Rebecca had lied to her. Besides, she had deliberately taken the photograph at a certain angle in order to cause a misunderstanding. She had believed in Rebecca’s words back then. She did not continue listening to what Rebecca was saying either due to the overwhelming sadness in her heart. Therefore, she had left immediately. She was completely clueless about everything that had happened after that. Simon could read all of her thoughts. She felt like she had no secrets when in front of him. “Alright, I’ll admit that I was upset. I was really angry as well. Even if our marriage was contractual, you shouldn’t have had a relationship with her,” she said. With how things had turned out, she had nothing to be asha
The doctor did not continue questioning her. After bandaging up Simon’s wound, he reminded her, “The wound can’t be split open again.” “I understand. I’ll look after him carefully,” Sharon replied at once. After the doctor left, she apologized to Simon once again. “Do your wounds still hurt?” She asked. “It hurts…” Simon curved his lips. There was an unreadable expression on his face. “Shouldn’t you give me some form of compensation?” He asked. “What kind of compensation would you like?” The gaze that he had fixed onto her darkened slightly. “I want you to take care of me till my wound recovers,” he told her. He had gotten hurt because of her, so this was not too much to ask of her. In fact, it was her obligation to do so. Sharon nodded without thinking twice. “Alright, I’ll take care of you,” she agreed.She had originally intended to be discharged from the hospital today. Now, it seemed like she had to stay at the hospital for even longer. Franky Zimmer was sti
“Are you afraid?” Simon asked while staring into her eyes. He placed his large palm over hers.Sharon nodded slightly. “How can I not be afraid? There’s an evil person keeping his or her eyes on me in the dark. I could lose my life at any given moment,” she said. The worst part was she did not even know the identity of the villain behind all of this. She could only think of Sally Luke. However, she did not have any evidence to prove her suspicions. “If you’re afraid, you can always hide in my arms.” Sharon gave him a sideways glance. How could he be in the mood to joke around at a time like this? Nevertheless, Simon had a serious expression on his face. It was as if she did not have to worry about the sky falling with him by her side. Sharon’s heart fluttered once again. In the past five years, she had persevered through all of the difficulties that she had encountered on her own. Even since she was pregnant and unmarried, she had been on the receiving end of countless
“It’s alright. I’ll have this. You have to feed me though,” he requested matter-of-factly. The corner of Sharon’s eye twitched. He was ordering her around as he wished. However, since she had already agreed to take care of him, she could not go back on her words. She poured the porridge in the thermos into a bowl and fed him like he had requested. “It’s hot,” Simon said with a frown. Thus, Sharon had no choice but to blow at the porridge. Why was this man acting like a child?She would not be able to work for the time being as she would be busy looking after Simon at the hospital. Eugene would come visit her at the hospital whenever he was free. Unfortunately, Simon and him would surely clash every time he visited. She had become numb to their antics over time. She could not help but think that these two grown men were as childish as little kids. On the other hand, Simon did not delay any of his work. He asked Franky to send his work documents over to the hospit
Sharon’s heart lurched. Could the thing that Doctor Collins had left for her be related to her father? She had a feeling that she still had the chance to find out the truth about the entire incident. Therefore, she stopped hesitating and followed Mrs. Collins into the house at once. Mrs. Collins handed a box to her once they entered a room. “Old Collins said that you’d find the answers that you were seeking inside this box,” she said. Sharon’s breath grew slightly erratic as she accepted the box with a solemn expression on her face. Was the true cause of her father’s death inside this box? “Thank you,” Sharon responded, her voice trembling slightly. “Take a look at it on your own. I’ll go out to accompany him one last time,” Mrs. Collins told her. She was still overcome with despondence. With that, Sharon was left in the room alone. Her attention was fully focused on the box. She could not wait to know everything, but she was a little nervous at the same time. Sh
After recalling this, Sharon walked out of the room and returned to the funeral ceremony. Mrs. Collins stood beside the altar and greeted those that were there to pay their respects to Doctor Collins. Sharon walked over to her side. “Mrs. Collins, I would like to have a few words with you in private,” she told her. Mrs. Collins glanced at her and followed her to the side. “What did you want to tell me?” She asked. “Mrs. Collins, did Doctor Collins tell you about my father’s incident?” she asked. Mrs. Collins’ gaze flickered as a slight frown formed on her brows. “What do you want to know?” From her attitude, it was obvious that Doctor Collins must have told her something. Sharon did not continue questioning her. Instead, she showed her a corner of the burned photograph. “Do you know her?” she asked. Mrs. Collins’ expression changed immediately when she caught sight of the person in the photograph. “How...how did you get this photograph?” She blurted out.“So, you do
