In no time, Melody and Marshall found Sharon near the school. She was crouched on the ground, wailing like a child.
Many people passed by, some were watching the fun, while others were pointing and gossiping.
In grief, Sharon had no time to care about it.
It was a side of Sharon that Melody had never seen. Shocked, her face changed. She immediately ran over and asked, "Sharon, what's wrong?"
Also, Marshall quickly walked over and looked at her with concern.
With her teary face, Sharon suddenly said, "Melody, do you think Stanley is dead?"
Taken aback, Melody gasped, "Huh?"
"He must be dead. It's already been almost ten days. Why hasn't there been any news at all? He had not made a call or sent a text message..." Sharon paused on the ground as she wiped away her tears, sobbing. "If he was still alive, he definitely wouldn't have disappeared for such a long time. He must have died..."
Sobbing, the more she thought of it, the more it felt like reality. Hence, Sharon's tears rolled down her cheeks.
This time, she fell apart and burst into tears on the street. The emotions that were bundled up broke free. Shawn's excruciating words were like a sharp dagger, cutting off her rationality.
Seeing the state she was in, Melody accompanied her as she squatted down on the side of the road. While wiping her tears, she comforted her. "Don't think too much. There's no way he would suddenly die. Besides, someone like Stanley has bodyguards to protect him wherever he goes. How can anything happen to him?"
Unable to take in Melody's words, Sharon was still crying sadly. "Then why didn't he call me?"
"Maybe he has some difficulties."
"What sort of difficulty does he have?" Sharon raised her head. Her eyes were very bright, as if she saw another light of hope.
How could Melody know what his difficulties were? Anxious, Melody's forehead was full of sweat. "Anyway, he must have his reasons. When he returns, I will help you question him!"
Marshall, who had been standing on the side, also said, "Melody is right. Everything will be fine. Don't overthink it. Also, if something really had happened to Stanley, his friends will definitely inform you immediately. Since not a single call came in, that's considered the best kind of news, isn't it?"
Stunned, Sharon thought to herself. That's right, why didn't she think of this?
Following that, she immediately got up from her squatting position. Hence, she felt dizzy. Melody held her in time and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel drowsy..."
It took a while for Sharon to recover, and then she hurriedly walked forward, "Melody, I'm going to call Brother King. I've called all of his friends except him. My phone is in the dormitory, please go back with me..."
"Hey, okay, okay, you'd better slow down, don't fall."
Immediately, Melody chased after her...
On the way back, Sharon seemed to remember Marshall, who was with them. Looking up at the man who had been standing beside Melody, they seem to be inseparable, and their fingers were clenched together. Sharon's heart ached when she saw how sweet they were.
With that, her eyes grew red. She suppressed the pain in her heart and asked in a hoarse voice, "Marshall, why are you here?"
"I was planning to bring Melody out for dinner, but we unexpectedly received a call from you."
"Sorry, I've ruined your date..."
"Don't be silly. Of course, you are more important than our date!" Melody held her arm.
Moved, Sharon held onto Melody and playfully joked with her, "Melody, do break up with Marshall. After that, marry me, and I'll I accept your proposal..."
"Quit messing around!" Melody was amused. "Alright, alright. Pay attention to your image. There's people looking at you... Sharon!"
In a flash, Melody's tone changed, sharp and excited. "Sharon, quick, take a look..."
Confused, Sharon asked, "What's wrong?"
