At the thought of his silly sister pining over Simon every day just because the man had not visited her these few days, a surge of anger rose within him. “You shouldn’t go in. Don’t disrupt her emotions,” Eugene said. He walked past Simon, opened the door, and went in. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused in his steps, turned around, and looked straight at Simon.“Right, I’ll tell you about this beforehand. I intend to bring her away after two days when her condition improves. I hope you know what you should do by then. Don’t stop us again,” he said. He did not want Sharon to continue staying here.Simon’s gaze darkened, and he spoke to Eugene in a firm, heavy voice, “No, you can’t take her away yet.”Eugene’s expression changed once he registered his words. “Why is that so? Do you still want to take revenge on her? She’s suffered so much already. Is it still not enough for you?” he asked. If that was the case, Eugene would never forgive him!“The poison in
After Sharon woke up, Xena wanted to visit her. However, she suppressed her urge to do so.She thought that it was better for her to visit her at a more suitable time. Otherwise, if something happened to Sharon due to the shock of knowing that Simon had proceeded with the wedding with her, Simon would blame her for it. She had been keeping in touch with Howard. He confirmed that Sharon would not be able to get the antidote anytime soon. However, it was a threat for her if Sharon was around. She kept having malicious thoughts. If the antidote was successfully formulated, should she destroy it to get rid of Sharon once and for all? She was beyond surprised when Simon sent someone over to ask for her household registration permit. They told her that Simon wanted to register for a marriage certificate. Xena handed him her household registration permit and asked, “Simon, are we going to register for a marriage certificate now?” She could not wait any longer. Simon did not expe
Sharon sat on her bed. She was daydreaming while staring out the window. Xena had heard that Simon had not visited her during this period of time. She sneered coldly when she saw how distraught Sharon looked. It seemed like Sharon was thinking about Simon. No, to put it more accurately, Sharon was thinking about her husband.“Sharon, are you feeling better now?” Xena asked. She came over with a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket. Sharon was not in the mood to talk. She frowned instinctively when she noticed that Xena had come into the ward. “Why are you here?” she asked. “I heard that you’ve been awake for a few days now. It’s my fault for not coming to see you sooner. However… I’ve been busy as I had a happy occasion recently,” Xena said, trying to bring up the topic of her marriage strategically. Sharon did not care about Xena’s happy news. She had always found Xena despicable. “Thank you for your concern. You didn’t have to come if you’re busy,” Sharon said. She
Sharon stared at the date printed on the marriage certificate in disbelief. It showed yesterday’s date. Yesterday!She had heard his ringtone outside the door yesterday, but he did not even bother to come in to visit her. Had he been preparing to register for a marriage certificate then? He did not come in because he had to register for the certificate, right? Sharon’s hands trembled, and she did not manage to hold onto the marriage certificate. It fell from her hand while she remained unmoving. There was an unpleasant expression on her face.Xena was shocked. She picked up the marriage certificate and blew on it worriedly. This was more important than anything else.She initially wanted to show it off to Sharon, but she grew worried when she noticed Sharon’s reaction. The woman remained unmoving while she stared blankly into space. Did she receive such a great shock that she had gone crazy?“Sharon, are you alright?” Xena asked. Sharon’s eyes finally moved and her gaze sw
Eugene’s heart hurt when he saw Sharon crying. He helped her wipe her tears in a hurry. “Don’t cry. It isn’t worth it for you to cry over a man like that. Don’t worry. I’ll help you teach him a lesson!” he told her. “Brother…” she said. However, she could not suppress the pain in her heart. Her tears continued to fall. “Brother, did he agree to hold a wedding ceremony with me just to take revenge on me?” she asked in a choked voice. Did he abandon her and marry someone else on the day of their wedding so that she would become the greatest laughing stock in front of everyone?Eugene’s heart hurt even more when he saw her reddened eyes and nose. He was tearing Simon Zachary apart in his heart! He glared at Xena harshly. How could she tell Sharon something like that? Xena thought that she was rather innocent. Sharon had grabbed her before she could tell her any words of vengeance. She had almost gotten hurt because of Sharon. Eugene pursed his lips without saying anything. Sha
After Eugene went out, both of them did not say anything for some time. Sharon continued staring at him. She thought that he would give her an explanation.Nevertheless, he continued standing opposite her with an expression devoid of any emotions. It did not seem like he wanted to explain anything to her. However, he spoke up first. “What did you want to tell me?” he asked. Sharon’s heart lurched. It was alright if he did not have an explanation for her, but he did not even tell her a single word of concern. Instead, he asked her impatiently if anything was wrong. Was this his true side? Now that they had ended things, he was not even willing to act in front of her anymore. Was that why he could treat her so rudely now?Sharon took a deep breath as she suppressed her burgeoning anger. Nevertheless, she could not resist bunching up the blanket in her fists tightly. “Do you have nothing to say to me? Did you really hold a wedding ceremony with Xena and get married to her?”
However, a voice within her yelled out that this could not be! He could not be telling her the truth! She calmed herself down, wanting to give him another chance. She wanted to give herself another chance as well. “Do you have any hardships that I don’t know about? You’re just pretending to marry her, right?” she asked. Simon raised his eyes and stared at her. The dark orbs of his eyes were so calm that she had begun to lose hope. He saw the inkling of hope in her gaze. He did not want to shatter her hope, but… he had no choice but to end things harshly. “Didn't you see our marriage certificate? Do you think I would create a fake marriage certificate just to trick you?” he asked. He paused momentarily and continued, “Furthermore, Xena has been by my side for the past two years. There’s no reason for me to let her down.” Sharon’s heart lurched harshly. The inkling of hope within her went out completely. She could no longer keep lying to herself, saying that his marriage cer
Sharon thought that the poison in her body had been fully detoxified. However, Simon was now saying that this was not the case! It was no wonder that her body was still in such a bad condition. She still felt weak all the time. Simon noticed that Sharon’s expression had worsened. “The antidote consists of two doses. You’ve only had the first dose. The other dose… I’ll get it for you sometime later,” he could not stop himself from telling her. To prevent her from being overly worried and afraid, there were some things that she did not need to know about. It was impossible for him to wait for the kidnappers to send the antidote over themselves. He had already asked Franky to track their whereabouts.Sharon’s eyes gradually landed on him. He felt suffocated when he caught sight of the empty look in her gaze.“That’s why you can’t leave now,” Simon said as he met her gaze.“If you hate me that much, why are you looking for an antidote for me?”Simon pursed his lips as a dark gli
