Sharon looked at Stanley firmly and said, "He's awake. I'm just going to have a look. I promise I won't stay for long and will come back right away. Can I?"
She was almost pleading at the end of her sentence.
Shawn took a bullet for her. Now that he woke up, she should go and see him out of courtesy.
What's more, Peter took the initiative to come to take her there. She should go.
Stanley stood his ground. "Sharon Cruz, I won't allow you to see him!"
Sharon stamped her feet and said, "I'm not going to do something bad. I'm just going to see how he is doing. It won't take long. Half an hour, tops."
She didn't understand why Stanley didn't even allow her to leave for half an hour.
Sharon struggled. "Stanley Jones, be reasonable!"
"I am being reasonable!"
Her words ignited his wrath. Disregarding the other people in the room, Stanley grabbed her shoulder and pressed her down, squeezing her with his hot fingers. He glared at her with his horrifyingly gloomy eyes and said, "Who is Shawn Lewis to you? Why do you want to see him so eagerly? You even stayed with him all night! Sharon Cruz, don't forget who your husband is!"
The emotions that he had been suppressing in his heart for a long time finally exploded at this moment. It was quite a terrifying sight.
Sharon was shocked by his bloodshot eyes and said, astounded, "H-He is my brother..."
"He is just your brother, but I am your husband. I won't allow you to see another man!"
He stared at her fiercely with his sharp eyes.
Peter urged outside, "Miss Cruz, let's..."
"Shut up!"
Stanley shot an arrow- like sharp glare at Peter. Peter, who had stumbled upon all kinds of situations, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he met Stanley's cold and sharp gaze.
Peter, too, was scared by his bloodshot eyes and did not dare to say anything at all.
Stanley looked down at Sharon with coldness in his eyes. "I don't care what kind of relationship you used to have with him. You are not allowed to go there now!"
Sharon must go. Since Shawn had woken up, she must go and see him.
"I only want to ask you one question." Sharon knew that he was used to being overbearing and domineering, and it was impossible for her to get out of here without cajolery. "If someone who took a bullet for you finally woke up from a coma and he or she wanted to see you, what would you do? Would you see him?"
Stanley's expression slowly darkened.
Sharon slowly pried his hand away. "I'll just go and drop by, and I'll be right back. Wait for me here. When I come back, I'll tell you everything about me and Shawn, okay?"
Stanley looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word.
Sharon bit her lip, pushed him away decisively, and then strode out.
With a clang, the door of the ward was closed.
Jimmy looked at Stanley standing in front of the door and walked up to him. He sighed and patted him on the shoulder. "You must have fallen in love with her."
Even he, an outsider, could see it.
Stanley froze.
"Don't tell me you don't love her. I don't know what this is if it's not love. Stanley, it's been so many years already. It's time to let go of Rebecca and move on. Learn how to love another woman again. Love is beautiful."
Stanley waved his hand away and sneered, "She doesn't deserve to be loved!"
D*mn it! She turned a deaf ear to his advice again!
He must be crazy to have feelings for her!
Jimmy sighed and said, "If you are really worried, you can follow them to see what they will do."
Stanley sneered, without any expression on his face.
"It's understandable for Sharon wanting to see Shawn. Let me be frank, Stanley, you're too petty-minded," Jimmy said at the risk of being chided.
Stanley turned around and went to the bathroom without looking at him.
Was it really because he was too petty-minded?
He just didn't want Sharon to be alone with Shawn!
He would never forget how Shawn looked like when he said that he wanted to find his treasure. They were both men. He could see how deep Shawn's obsession with "the treasure" was.
Jimmy sighed as he watched Stanley enter the bathroom.
In less than two minutes, Stanley came out of the bathroom. He changed his hospital gown into a gray suit, looking smart and charming as usual.
"Huh?" Jimmy was confused. "What are you doing?"
"Discharged from the hospital."
Stanley said coldly, then opened the door and went out.
Jimmy was dumbfounded. "Hey, you haven't recovered yet. How can you leave the hospital just like that? Don't make a fuss. Come on, come back with me... Hey, beautiful nurse, come and stop this patient. I can't subdue him!"
The nurse was speechless.
In the end, Stanley insisted on discharging from the hospital. Jimmy had no choice but to take him home.
Jimmy muttered as he fastened the seat belt, "If Howard knew it, I would get an earful from him! Stanley, you are not a child. How can you not take your own health seriously?"
Stanley who was sitting in the front passenger seat closed his eyes to rest and ignored him.
Jimmy rolled his eyes in agitation.
His hands were tied as he had nothing to change this stubborn guy's mind.
After switching on the signal, Jimmy planned to send him back to the villa.
"Bang..."
Jimmy's heart skipped a beat and he slammed on the brake. His face turned pale and his hands on the steering wheel trembled.
Stanley opened his eyes and frowned. "What's going on?"
Jimmy licked his dry lips and stammered for the first time, "D*mn it. I- I think I hit someone?"
Stanley unfastened his seat belt and said, "Let's go down and check."
"Yeah. Maybe it's just a trash can."
Jimmy comforted himself.
The two got out of the car and saw a woman lying in front of the car. She wore a white dress, wrapping her slim and slender body. Her black hair completely covered her face so they couldn't see her face clearly.
