Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 148

Sharon could guess who was who by listening to the nurse's description.

"Okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the nurse left, Sharon sighed. It seemed that he was so pissed off that he discharged himself directly.

She curled her lip and thought to herself, "Should I catch a few frogs to coax him?"

But she soon shook her head, "Forget it, I'd better not do it for the sake of my safety."

Sharon rushed back to the villa all the way. Gasping for breath, she asked directly before even catching her breath, "Hazel, where is Stanley?"

Hazel fetched her a glass of water and said, "Didn't he come back with you?"

"He's not at home?"

He was discharged from the hospital, wasn't he? Why was he not at home now? Where did he go then?

Sharon frowned.

Hazel helped her sit down. "Drink some water first, and then give him a call."

Right, she could make a phone call.

Sharon patted her head. She was too stupid not to think of it.

But...

"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached. Please try again later..."

Sharon pouted as she held the phone. Was he so pissed off that he didn't even want to answer her call?

On the other hand, Stanley looked at Sharon's caller ID on the phone screen yet did not press the answer button.

He was really not in the mood now.

The woman lying on the bed was supposed to be dead, but now, there she was, appearing in front of him alive. He couldn't calm down.

The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. He took puffs of cigarettes one after another, feeling so stuffy as if his chest was going to explode soon.

The bedroom door opened and Jimmy and Howard came out together.

Howard's expression shifted as he strode over, snatched the cigarette from Stanley's hand, and chided, "Are you crazy? You can't smoke right now!"

His Adam's apple bobbing, Stanley asked, "l-ls she awake?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll go in and check on her."

After saying that, he got up and was about to go in when Jimmy stopped him. After thinking for a while, Jimmy said, "Well, I can assure you that the woman inside is indeed Rebecca. Just now, when she woke up, she recognized me and Howard at a glance. Besides, she's all right. I didn't hit her. She grazed her knees when she fell down. Don't worry."

Stanley just nodded, and then he strode over.

Pushing open the door, Stanley entered the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

In order to give her a good sleep, the curtains in the room were drawn up and Only a lamp was on. The room was very dim but he could clearly see the woman on the bed.

It had been seven years, yet her appearance had not changed at all. She was still the same as before.

The only difference was that she became thinner.

He had been very careful and quiet, but he woke the person on the bed up. Rebecca moved and slowly sat up from the bed. She slowly lifted her eyes and looked at the person at the door.

"Stanley..."

A soft voice resonated just as it used to be.

Stanley's Adam's apple bobbed and stopped breathing.

It was really her.

Her look. Her voice. Everything. It was her and she couldn't fake it.

Stanley slowly walked over and stood by the bed. His eyes fell on her, as if he wanted to see through her.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and said in an unusually hoarse voice, "Is it really you?"

"It's me," Rebecca nodded and said, choking.

"You're still alive?"

"Yes." It was great to be able to hear his voice again.

"Where have you been... in the past seven years?"

Rebecca lowered her eyelashes, which began to tremble, and her face slowly turned pale. "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

Stanley's eyes were fixed on her. "Everything. Tell me everything!"

Rebecca only said two words, "Your father."

Stanley frowned, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes which was like a dagger, shining with cold air. "What did he do to you?"

"I faked my death back then." Rebecca looked at him, her eyes full of tears. "It's all your father's idea."

Stanley pursed his thin lips. "I gave you the funeral service myself, and I went to the crematorium."

He arranged Rebecca's funeral entirely and handled all the procedures himself. How could it be a fake death? She was the one lying in the coffin!

Noticing the suspicion in his eyes, Rebecca bit her lip and said, "That shot hit my heart directly. When I was pushed into the operating table, I heard a doctor talking to your father on the phone. I didn't know what they said, but then I fainted. When I woke up, I was already abroad."

Stanley's breathing was rapid, and he was about to lose control of his emotions.

"Later, your father contacted me and told me the truth. He said that I died on the operating table and not to go back to Estar. If I want to survive, I have to listen to him." Rebecca got up, got out of bed, and took Stanley's hand. "Your father was so powerful that he had the ability to make a corpse that was the same as me and then told you that it was me."
