Sharon pursed her lips. She wanted to say something but she held it back.
Howard rolled his eyes in exasperation.
At the same time, a nurse came over and saw that they were both standing in front of the door, so she asked skeptically, "Dr. Perkins, why don't you go in?"
"I'll go in later." Howard waved his hand and casually looked at the infusion bag in her tray. The nurse explained, "This is the IV drip that Mr. Jones will be injected today. Dr. Carter just came over to check on him, and he said that Mr. Jones is not doing very well, both physically and emotionally, so he added two more prescriptions and asked me to give him a try..."
Every word the nurse said made Sharon's face a little paler.
In the end, before the nurse could finish her words, Sharon pushed open the door of the ward and rushed in.
Howard snorted and said, "So, you're scared now, huh? Such a cruel lady. Do you think I'm bluffing just to trick you here?"
The nurse did not hear his murmur though. "What did you say, Dr. Perkins?"
"Nothing. Go in and change the medicine for the patient."
"Okay."
As soon as Sharon entered the ward, her eyes turned red and watery when she saw the man on the bed with a pale face.
His eyes were tightly shut and seemed to have fallen asleep. His sexy thin lips were tightly closed, and now they were dry and looked heart-wrenching.
She slowly walked over, sat down beside the bed, and quietly stretched out her small hand to hold his big hand.
His hand was so cold like an ice block. Sharon was dismal as she touched his hard and frigid hand.
How did he end up like this?
He was still fine last night. Why was he lying here lifelessly overnight? It seemed that his whole soul had been taken away.
He remembered Harvey beating him so hard and fierce. For her sake, he didn't fight back...
The more Sharon thought about it, the sadder she became. She secretly wiped away her tears.
She really didn't know he ended up in this situation. If she knew, she would have come over a long time ago.
As the nurse changed the infusion bag for him, she looked at the sorrowful young lady sitting by the bed, and then turned to Howard, to which she saw an unexpected bright smile on his face...
Sensing that the smile on his face was too obvious, Howard cleared his throat and said, "Since everything is ready, let's go out first. Sharon, please take care of Stanley today."
Sharon nodded, and Howard went out of the ward with the nurse.
The room suddenly became quiet. Sharon fixed her eyes on the handsome man. Although his face was injured, the wound didn't hide his charm and his beautiful eyes.
Sharon reached out and touched the wound on his forehead that he subconsciously frowned. Sharon immediately withdrew her hand and stared at the man for a long time, but he still did not wake up.
Didn't he like being touched even when he was asleep?
Sharon pursed her lips bitterly.
She could feel the heat on his forehead when she touched it but his hands were very cold. The temperature contrast made her start to feel worried.
Did something bad really happen?
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still. She got up, went to the bathroom, and found that it was equipped with towels and other things. It seemed that Howard asked someone to prepare them here.
There was no washbasin though.
She took a towel and wet it with the cold water. Then she wrung it dry and put the wet towel on his forehead.
It might be useless to do so, but she couldn't just sit on the chair and do nothing.
She walked in and out of the bathroom several times to wet the towel and only stopped when the IV drips almost finishes. She reached over to feel his forehead again.
She was delightful as it was no longer as hot as before.
She touched his hand, but it was still so cold. Why was his hand always so cold? She realized this before he was hospitalized, but she didn't take it seriously.
She sighed and thought, "Maybe he is born this way. He is cold and aloof, so his skin is cold as well."
Just as she was about to get up and call the nurse, a strong hand grabbed her slender wrist.
Sharon looked down in astonishment.
Stanley who had his eyes closed suddenly woke up and stared at her with a pair of bright eyes.
His thin lips moved a little, and he said in a hoarse voice, probably because of the fever, "What are you doing here?"
When Sharon saw that he was awake, she was very happy and her little face was as bright as the stars. "You're finally awake!"
Stanley's eyes darkened as he repeated, "What are you doing here?"
"Dr. Perkins asked me to come."
Stanley's expression turned cold all of a sudden. He sneered and said, "You're really obedient. You came because he asked you to come?"
Then why didn't she leave when he tried to take her away last night?
Sharon pursed her lips and looked at him, sensing that there was something wrong with his mood but she didn't know why he was unhappy.
Stanley was annoyed by her teary eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sharon looked straight into his eyes. "Don't you want me to stay here?"
"Of course!"
Sharon felt a piercing pain in her heart the moment he uttered those words.
Stanley was enraged by her attitude last night that he chided her loudly, but when he thought of her crying face, his anger subsided.
Concealing her bitter emotions, Sharon said, "Well, if you don't want to see me, I'll go."
Sharon felt her eyes watery, so she got up and was about to leave.
"If you dare to leave, I will kill you!" Stanley suddenly sat up from the bed with fierce eyes.
She didn't know whether to leave or not.
He said that he didn't want to see her. What did he want actually? Psycho.
"You asked me to leave!"
Stanley sneered. "I don't want you to leave now. Come back here and sit down!"
D*mn it, how could he be so fierce when he was already sick!
Why did he have such a bad temper? Look at how weak he is now. Does he still have the strength to act as a villain?
