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
Just as she was about to turn on the lights, Simon’s deep voice resonated through the darkness. “Why were you gone for such a long time?” he asked. The strong sense of displeasure in his voice was evident. Taken aback, Sharon turned around to look at the source of the voice. She could vaguely catch sight of his silhouette against floor-to-ceiling windows. The wounds on his leg were not healed yet, so he still had to sit in a wheelchair. She turned on the lights immediately. She could finally see everything clearly. Simon was staring at her with an evaluative gaze. There was a frown across his face. She did not know if she was seeing things, but she felt that he looked like a resentful man who was unhappy because she had returned home late.She had been in a state of despondence just now. Somehow, the sight of him lifted her spirits. Who would have thought that the dignified president of Central Corporation would wait for his wife, who was returning home late, with such a resentf
Would he continue to protect Fiona just because he was his older brother, regardless of whether or not she had killed someone?Perhaps… if he knew that his brother’s death had something to do with Fiona, he would no longer tolerate her.Sharon’s heart was in a mess. She could not predict what would happen in the future. But the only thing she could be sure of was that it was getting tough for her to maintain their marriage…“Simon, what… what kind of person was your older brother?” She asked abruptly.“Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Simon’s eyes darkened slightly.“Oh, I’m just a little curious. I’ve never gotten the chance to see him when I was with Howard before. When I heard that he was killed, I just thought that it was a pity.”“Why? So when you were with Howard, you were looking forward to meeting his parents already?” The main focal point of his attention turned out to be on this sentence instead.“That’s… That’s not what I mean!” When she noticed that his expres
