Rebecca looked at him knowingly and asked, "Did you think I wanted to commit suicide just now?"
Stanley frowned.
Indeed, when he came in and saw that half of her body was outside the window, the blowing wind seeming to be able to take her away, he couldn't help but think that way.
"I won't. Don't worry!" Rebecca threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly. "It's not easy for me to see you again. How can I commit suicide? Even if I don't want to live, I have to live for you."
"What do you mean even if you don't want to live?"
Stanley squinted.
Rebecca smiled faintly. "Nothing. It's just a casual remark. Don't take it seriously."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"Didn't Howard prepare it for you?"
"When I got up, he had already gone out."
Stanley pulled her up from the ground and said, "I'll take you to lunch."
Rebecca was very happy and hugged his arm tightly. "Where should we go? Shall we go to the restaurant we used to go to? But it's been so many years. That small restaurant should have been demolished."
"Yes," he replied flatly.
Rebecca looked up at him, looking at his determined chin, handsome facial features, and deep light flashed in her eyes. "Do you... still visit the restaurant by yourself after I 'died'?"
Stanley didn't want to pursue the subject though. "Let's have lunch first."
"Stanley!" Rebecca stood still, her eyes were red. "Have you led a miserable life after I 'died'?"
Stanley said calmly, "It's all in the past..."
"After you left yesterday, Howard talked with me for a long time. He said that in the first few years of my "death", you had an awful life. You were also very decadent, and you suffered a lot... Stanley, I will never leave you again."
After Rebecca said that, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry for keeping this a secret from you these years, but I don't dare to contact you. I'm afraid that when your father finds out..."
At this point, she could no longer continue.
Stanley patted her on the shoulder. "I can understand your situation and your thoughts. I don't blame you, so don't blame yourself."
"Why are you so good to me?" Rebecca was moved, and her tears fell uncontrollably. "The more you act like this, the more regretful I am for not contacting you earlier. I should contact you even if I have to risk being discovered by your father."
She bit her lip and said, "I came back secretly this time. Your father didn't know that I came back to Beachmarsh City, so he certainly couldn't guess that I had the guts to come back. C-Can you protect me? I'm afraid that your father will do something bad to me. I don't want to leave you anymore."
Stanley's eyes turned cold, but he smiled at her and said, "Don't be silly. Of course I'll protect you. Don't worry, no one can hurt you this time."
Rebecca smiled.
Stanley looked at her familiar face. She still looked the same as seven years ago.
"I'll take you to lunch first," Stanley looked away and said.
Rebecca nodded. "Okay, let's go."
Sharon went to the hospital and visited her father. He was still unconscious.
She sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with her father for a while. When she went out, she didn't expect to meet Evonne, who was sneaking around.
Sharon stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Evonne saw that she was furious and smiled instead. "Sharon, I'm not here to look for your father, but to look for you."
Sharon looked at her coldly. "I have nothing to say to you."
"Don't be like this. After all, I'm your mother. I was pregnant with you for nine months and gave birth to you. You can't..."
"I'm your daughter? If so, why did you abandon my father and me and be with another man?" Sharon roared, "God is watching our every move. When my father got into the accident, I begged you to help me. You should have thought that that was the end of our relationship after you ruthlessly refused to help me!"
