She looked up and saw Shawn standing at the door of the ward with two bottles of mineral water in his hand. His chest that was wrapped under the tight shirt was heaving. He was panting heavily, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Did he run back here?
Sharon looked at him in surprise.
Looking at her puzzled eyes, Shawn's face became blushed. He looked away and gently closed the door.
When he came to her, he squatted down again and cleared his throat. "They didn't have ice packs, so I bought two bottles of chilled mineral water for you."
As he spoke, he held her slender ankle with one hand and held the bottle with the other hand, gently applying it to her sprained area.
Sharon lowered her head and looked at his tall nose and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Sharon frowned. "What are you smiling at?"
Shawn looked up and his phoenix eyes were full of smiles. "Nothing. I'm just very happy that you're still here when I come back."
Sharon was stunned.
He must be so worried that she would be gone when he went out, so he ran all the way, ignoring the sweat on his forehead.
"When did I be in such a hurry?" Shawn thought.
When he came back and saw that she was still sitting there and waiting for him, he was very glad.
He was afraid that she would suddenly disappear like the previous two times.
In the quiet room, Sharon sat on the small sofa, lowered her gaze, and said nothing, holding the chilled mineral water bottle that Shawn gave her.
She put it on the edge of her feet and felt the bone-chilling coolness from the bottle.
After a long time, Shawn slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with your father?"
Sharon turned to look at her father on the bed and said, "He had a car accident."
Shawn frowned. "When was it?"
"Two years ago."
Shawn suddenly felt heartache. How anxious she must be at that time? But he was not with "Why hasn't he regained consciousness?" Sharon's father had been in this state for the two days Shawn was here.
Sharon smiled bitterly. "My father is in a coma. Can't you see?"
Shawn pursed his lips. Of course, he could see it, but he didn't want to admit it. When he heard her say it from her mouth, it was as if she was stabbing his heart with a knife.
"Don't worry. From now on, I will take good care of him," Shawn locked his gaze on her. "You two will be my responsibility. Sharon, I am back. I have the ability to take care of you."
Sharon opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she didn't need him to take care of her now, but her phone suddenly rang and the words stuck in her throat.
Looking at Shawn's sincere face, Sharon's heart was in a mess. She fumbled for her mobile phone and answered it directly without looking at the caller ID, "Hello... who is it?"
Who was it?
The handsome Stanley, who was sitting on the office chair, frowned.
"Your husband."
Said Stanley.
"Ahem!"
Sharon choked in shock and looked at the screen in a hurry. It was indeed Stanley.
She was confused just now and answered the phone frantically, but she didn't know who called.
"I-I'm in the hospital. I'm a little busy now..."
"If you dare hang up on me, you know the consequences."
Said the quick- witted Stanley who was signing his name on the document with the black pen in his hand.
Sharon gnashed her teeth, rendering her speechless.
"B*stard! I've never seen such an overbearing and aggressive b*stard before." she cursed inwardly.
"I really have something to do right now. I'll..."
"Have you eaten?"
"...Not yet."
"I'll ask Anthony to pick you up."
Sharon was surprised. "Are you going to dinner with me?" "You don't want to?" asked Stanley.
"No, I want to, but now I am in the hospital..."
"Why did you go to the hospital?"
Sharon lowered her eyes and lowered her voice as she said, "I- I'm here to see my father."
Realizing that something was wrong with her, he frowned and asked, "Is everything alright?"
Sharon quickly nodded. "Yes! Everything's fine. What can happen anyway?"
"That's good. Stay in the hospital. I'll ask Anthony to pick you up."
"Oh, you don't have to. I'm leaving soon. You don't have to ask him to come over."
"That's it. Wait there. Anthony will arrive in about 20 minutes."
"Hey..."
Without giving her a chance to talk at all, he directly hung up the phone.
Sharon was trembling with anger as she thought, "B*stard, do you know how to respect women?"
Standing aside, Shawn watched quietly. Every second passed, the tenderness on his face disappeared little by little until he was expressionless in the end.
As she talked on the phone, she donned a charming look on her face, and there was a hint of affection in her eyes, which made her look cute and innocent.
Shawn had never seen Sharon like this before. She looked pure and feminine, which tingled his heart.
Who called her?
Was he the big shot that Evonne said Sharon was with right now?
"Who is he?"
