Howard fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Okay.” Sharon entered the ward anxiously and saw her son lying on the hospital bed. His burned hands had been bandaged and she could not tell how severe his injuries were. “Doctor, he…” As soon as Sharon opened her mouth, the doctor instantly said, “The child's injuries are serious. If he arrived at the hospital any later, he will most likely have lost his hands.” Sharon did not expect the injuries to be that serious that she almost lost her balance, her body swaying slightly. Simon stretched out his arms to support her. Only a mother could understand how her heart ached at the moment! She could not help glaring at Sally, her eyes boiling with anger. The doctor continued, “Now that the wound has been treated, he should stay in the hospital for observation. As long as we monitor him carefully, the injury will heal properly.” “Thank you, doctor.” Sharon grabbed Simon’s arm tightly. She felt really weak right now. After
Seeing her son’s face full of tears, Sharon resisted the urge to wipe them off for him. Douglas loved this grandson of his so much; perhaps he was the only person who could punish Sally at this time. Sure enough, when Douglas heard Sebastian’s words, he frowned deeply, his aged but majestic eyes turning to Sally, and his voice as deep as an ancient bell as he growled, “Did you hurt Sebastian?” Douglas had been feeling unwell today so he rested in the room without playing with Sebastian. If the butler had not told him that his grandson had suffered burns, he would not have found out about this. Sally felt extremely flustered under Douglas’s intense gaze. At this point, what else could she do? She gritted her teeth, met Douglas’ probing gaze, and put on a very aggrieved appearance. “Grandpa, I didn’t. I just lost a child. I feel nothing but affection for any child I see now. How could I hurt Sebastian?” Howard felt suffocated. Everyone was blatantly bullying his wife one after
“Don't worry. With grandpa around, I will make sure you get your justice.” Douglas patted Sebastian on the shoulder. Simon dialed the number. Sally could not stop herself from trembling. The blood drained from her face, making her complexion deathly pale. She felt scared and flustered. She had made sure to check at that time. There was no surveillance in the living room. She hurt Sebastian so boldly, but she did not expect… Howard could sense her fear and doubts began to emerge in his heart. Could she really have done it? Several thoughts flashed in his mind before he made a decision. Whether she truly did it or not, he had to protect her. If she got into serious trouble, he would be dragged into it anyway. “Sally, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling sick again? Why don’t I take you home to rest first?” Howard wanted to take her away. Douglas immediately barked, “Stop! No one leaves until things are made clear!” “Grandpa, Sally hasn't recovered yet.” Howard persisted
“Enough! Even now you still deny it. It seems that I was too kind to you when I allowed you to stay at home to recuperate, but you hurt my grandson instead. He’s just a child. How could you do this to him? You are truly the most vicious woman!” Douglas loved Sebastian very much. Seeing him being burned, his anger was uncontrollable. “I think Sharon can’t be fully blamed for your fall down the stairs. You have a problem too. Pack your bags immediately and move out of the house!” Douglas issued the expulsion order without any hesitation. Sally’s mind went blank for a moment, her pupils contracted suddenly, and she quickly recovered, “No, grandpa, I was wrong. I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have hurt Sebastian on impulse,” she cried bitterly and pleaded. With a cold face, Douglas said to the butler who had just brought the doctor, “Notify the household to pack her things and throw it out the door!” “Grandpa!” Howard finally could not take it any longer. “And you, you take her a
Sharon was startled and nodded immediately. Yes, he was also responsible. No matter how busy he was, if the child fell sick, he could not ignore it. She picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off her son, always paying attention to his body temperature. Sebastian woke up at this time. He opened his eyes and saw that both father and mother were there, and he felt very relieved. “Sebastian, how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?” Sharon was still not at ease. Sebastian nodded. “Yeah, it’s a bit uncomfortable.” “Does your hand hurt?” “I can bear the pain, but… my tummy is growling and I can’t bear it.” Sharon’s anxiety eased instantly after hearing this. The little guy turned out to be hungry. “I’ve asked the chef at home to prepare porridge for you. You can only eat a little for now. When your injuries are healed and you no longer having a fever, he will prepare a good meal for you to make up for it, okay?” Sebastian pouted. He wanted to eat meat now, all kinds
Simon stayed overnight at the hospital without leaving. Although he could not help out with much, it was better to do so than let Sharon look after the child alone. He asked Franky to send over the documents that he needed to go over so that he could work in the ward while Sharon looked after the child.Just as Sebastian mentioned, Sharon looked after him throughout the night. She wiped off his sweat, changed his towels, and tested his body temperature repeatedly in fear he would break out into a fever again. Sebastian took his medicine at night and fell into a deep sleep. Sharon turned around to look at the man who was busy looking at documents not too far away. She got up and walked over to him. “Take some rest. You’ll be busy with work at the company tomorrow,” she said softly. This was a premium ward. There was an extra bed and a sofa, so he could rest if he was tired. Simon raised his head to look at Sharon. Her hair was slightly messy as she had been busy taking care of
Simon was nowhere to be seen in the room. Just as she was wondering where he went, a nurse came in to serve them their nutritious breakfast.“You’re awake? President Zachary prepared this breakfast for the both of you. He told me to let you know that he has gone to the company,” the young nurse said with a look of admiration on her face. Sharon was stunned. Did he go to work so early in the morning? Warmth erupted in her heart as she stared at the nutritious breakfast. Sharon continued looking after her son in the hospital till he was discharged. When she returned to the Zachary household, the wound on his hand had mostly recovered. She felt much more relieved. Since there were people looking after Sebastian in the Zachary household, she could go to work without any worries. Once Sharon returned to the office, her colleagues mentioned that there was a new design director in the designing department. Apparently, he was a handsome young man. Sharon smiled at the news withou
Howard smirked derisively. “Don’t you understand? I told you that he has no say in the matters of his own marriage. You’ll have to get a divorce from him very soon. You may even get kicked out of the Zachary household,” he said. He paused and looked her up and down with a pitiful gaze. “That’s why it would be the best if you didn’t fall in love with my uncle. Otherwise, you’ll be doomed,” he said. Sharon contemplated upon it. Did he mean that Douglas would obstruct their marriage? “You don’t have to worry about us. At least for now, Director Zachary hasn’t opposed our relationship,” Sharon said stonily. “Who told you that it was grandpa? You haven’t met the person that I’m referring to. She’s much more powerful than grandpa. My uncle wouldn’t dare to go against her words,” he said. Sharon frowned. Who else could Simon be afraid of? “Oh? Who is this person that you’re referring to?” “Can’t wait to meet her? Don’t worry, I believe that you’ll be able to meet her very soo
