It was best to put it all on the table.
After everything was resolved and sorted, she would be able to let go and move on.
"Sharon, the Lewis family couldn't tolerate my existence at that time, so I wandered to your town and met you. The few years when I was with you were the happiest moment of my life, and I would remember it all my life."
Shawn locked his gaze on her. "I was forced to leave you back then!"
Sharon wanted to ask him why he had to leave if he was so reluctant to do so. Who forced him?
However, when she saw that he was in such a bad and unstable mood, she did not dare to ask.
"My mother was killed by some bad guys. At that time, I had to go back. Sharon, I haven't forgotten you in the past few years!"
He gripped her hand tightly. Sharon's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect that he would leave for this reason.
"T-Then your mother..."
"She's dead! She died that year!"
Sharon was shocked.
On the contrary, Shawn smiled. "It's been so many years. I have accepted the fact. I'm fine. Don't worry."
Sharon couldn't feel the pain of losing the beloved ones, and he didn't want her to experience it. Back then, he felt so sorrowful that he didn't want to live. He hoped that Sharon was there with him, but at the same time, he was glad that Sharon was not with him.
Because he was in very dangerous circumstances back then and she might be in danger at any time.
It was best to be like this now. His most painful years had passed, and he stood in front of her again, clean and wholesome.
Just as it used to be.
Shawn stared at her. "Can you forgive me? Forgive me for leaving so abruptly in the past."
Sharon stared at him for a few seconds, then lowered her eyes and said vaguely, "Go to sleep. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay here with you. You can have a rest first."
Shawn's lips turned pale, knowing that she still had a grudge in her heart...
But he was too tired. His eyelids felt very heavy at this moment. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and soon fell asleep.
Sharon looked at his sleeping face in a daze. He was more charming and mature than before. The maturity was slowly accumulated from years of hardships he had endured.
He asked her if she could forgive him. Sharon also wanted to ask herself if she could forgive him.
She would definitely not forgive him in the past.
But today, knowing the reason, she suddenly felt relieved.
It was normal for him to leave her for his own family. She shouldn't hate him forthat.
Her only regret was that Shawn was not with her when her father had the accident. Back then, she had no one to rely on.
If it hadn't been for Shawn's departure, she might not have married to Stanley.
When Shawn woke up, Sharon was still there. She fell asleep, resting her head on the bed, and he clenched her hand tightly. She did what she said, and she did not leave.
Shawn's mouth curved into a smile.
He reached out his hand to touch her cheek.
His Sharon had grown into a charming and lovely woman.
His action woke her up. Sharon rubbed her eyes and sat up straight. "Are you awake? I'll call your man in."
Shawn stopped her. "I don't want to see them.
I just want to be alone with you."
Sharon smiled bitterly and said, "You have slept for a whole day, and I have suffered here all day. Now my legs are numb and I want to get up and move my body. Can you let me do that?"
"Sorry..."
Shawn loosened his grip.
Sharon got up and went out the door. Peter, who had been guarding outside the door, immediately came in. Seeing that he was alone, Sharon asked suspiciously, "Where is Ayana?"
"She has gone back."
Sharon nodded and thought of something. Then she looked back at Shawn on the bed and said, "Are you familiar with Ayana?"
A complex emotion flashed across Shawn's eyes. "Yes."
"What's her relationship with you?"
"Friend!" Shawn raised his voice. "Just a friend!"
Sharon nodded without a doubt. "She looks like me. Do you know what's going on?"
"I befriended her because she looked like you." Shawn explained vaguely, "It's just that she looks a little bit like you, not very much. Don't take it to heart."
Sharon glanced at him and smiled. "Why are you so nervous?"
Shawn was speechless.
"By the way, how did you appear in that abandoned factory?" Sharon asked, and soon came to her senses. "You found the factory because of Ayana's signal, didn't you?"
Shawn smiled and said, "Did she tell you about the tracker?"
Sharon nodded. "She said that as long as the tracker is triggered, her friend will come to save her. I just didn't expect that her friend would be you..."
It was only then that Shawn remembered that Ayana and she had stayed together for several hours.
"Sharon, did Ayana tell you anything?"
Sharon was stunned. "Is there anything she needs to tell me?"
Shawn raised the corner of his mouth. "Nothing, I'm just asking. I'm afraid that you'll overthink this since she looks like you."
"No, she didn't tell me anything."
"That's good."
Shawn breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Ayana would tell her about them.
