Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 124

Stanley smiled coldly and said, "You had let them off lightly."

Raising his chin, Jackson changed the topic. "What's wrong with you? How could you let her come out alone at this hour?"

He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. "I had some conflict with her and left in a huff. I didn't expect that she would chase after me. I guess she was frightened out of her wits because of the heavy rain and the two thugs."

He looked down at the woman in his embrace and found that she wasn't shaking as violently as before. Maybe it was because of the slightly warmer temperature or because she was in his arms now.

She gradually calmed down, yet he didn't know whether she was asleep or fell unconscious.

Jackson was surprised for a moment, and then teased, "You guys are really something."

What a pair of couple!

When they arrived at Jackson's apartment, Stanley went up with Sharon in his arms.

Jackson called Howard. Fortunately, it was Howard's off day today, so he was available to pay them a visit.

Stanley directly took Sharon to the bathroom and took a hot bath to warm up her cold body.

There was a knock on the bathroom door.

Stanley got up and went out. Jackson took a set of clothes and said, "I found some clothes for her. They were my wife's. Let her wear it for the night."

"Thank you."

Stanley took it and nodded.

Jackson smiled and said, "Don't mention it."

Stanley smiled back at him, keeping his gratitude to himself. Without a word, he simply nodded, took the clothes, and went into the bathroom.

It was was already an hour later when Howard arrived. Jackson opened the door for him. "Why are you so late?"

"It's raining heavily, brother. The road is slippery, and I don't dare to drive fast." Howard flicked the raindrops on his shoulder. "Better safe than sorry."

"Alright, enough with the complaint." Jackson laughed. He glanced at the medicine bag in his hand and pointed to the second floor.

"They are in the bedroom upstairs."

"Okay."

Howard nodded and strode in. It was Jackson's two- story duplex apartment. He usually lived here when he was not on a mission. Howard visited several times previously.

Seeing that the room was full of men's belongings and that there were no signs of women at all, Howard asked tentatively, "Jackson, are you still fighting with your wife?"

Jackson had been married, but then they fell out. For so many years, Jackson had never been with another woman. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Get your nose out of my business." Jackson closed the door, glanced at Howard, and said, "Go to the second floor and take a look. The second bedroom on your left."

"Alright."

Howard dared to get his nose in other people's business except Jackson's, so he sheepishly went up the stairs with his medicine bag.

When he came to the bedroom, he knocked on the door. After a while, the door of the bedroom opened, and Stanley appeared in front of him, looking rather disheveled.

Howard was shocked. "Stanley, did you go swimming?"

Stanley was all wet. At first glance, the bespoke high-end suit and expensive leather shoes were all damaged.

He rubbed his eyebrows as he stepped aside to make way for Howard. "She's inside. Go and check her injury. I'll take a bath."

He completely forgot about himself as he was busy helping Sharon taking a shower and getting changed just now.

After he took a shower and changed into clean clothes, Howard also came out of the bedroom. He lowered his voice and said, "In addition to the injury on her feet, she's fine. Her feet are bleeding, so I helped her clean the wound and cover it with gauze. I believe I don't need to tell you what you need to pay attention to."

Stanley nodded. "I know and I will."

After a pause, he added, "Howard, thank you."

Howard was stunned, and then scratched his hair awkwardly. "It's all right. I'm a doctor. It's my job."

Stanley smiled.

"She is sleeping now. You need to watch out tonight. After a night in the rain and an unstable emotion, her immune system will be weaker than usual and she may catch a cold."

"I know."

"Then... I'm done here, right?"

Stanley closed the bedroom door and said, "Let's go down together and have a drink."

"Sounds great." Howard giggled. "If I get drunk, I can't drive home, so I'll crash Jackson's couch downstairs for a night here."

The three men sat on the sofa and drank, all silent. Howard looked at Stanley who sitting on the sofa while drinking.

Stanley had proposed a drink, but he was the only one who did not drink.

"Stanley, don't you want some?"

Howard pushed a glass of wine over.

Stanley said calmly, "You guys drink."

Howard looked at Jackson and arched his eyebrows for some clues, but Jackson just pretended that he didn't see him and continued drinking silently.
