"Anthony!"
The man in the hospital bed shouted angrily.
Reacting quickly, Anthony immediately pressed the door. "Mrs. Jones..."
With a frown, Sharon looked at the both of them. "You both are so much older than me. Can you stop being so childish?"
After hearing her words, Anthony blushed. Although it was indeed childish to force her to stay, this was an order. He dare not disobey. If he disobeyed, he might be fired tomorrow.
"Get out of my way! Let me out of here!"
Anthony looked at the man on the hospital bed, while Stanley looked at the stubborn woman. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry with me?"
Sharon remained silent.
"I have said what I should say, and I have explained what should be explained. Why are you still angry?"
"You've explained it, but it doesn't mean that I'll forgive you!" Suddenly, Sharon turned around, and her eyes were sparkling. "You said that if I gave you a second chance, you would still go abroad without telling me... Stanley, then let me inform you that my anger that had accumulated for the past ten days won't disappear that easily. I'll be mad at you, until the day I decide to forgive you!"
"Then tell me, when will you forgive me?"
"I don't know. It'll take a long time anyway!" Sharon sneered coldly. If she were to forgive him so soon, she would despise herself.
Pursing his thin lips, Stanley looked at her with his deep, pitch-black eyes.
From his expression, Sharon could tell that he was furious right now, but she did not care about it at all. If he was angry, then let him be. He had the right to disappear, so she had the right to not forgive him.
The gaze of a man and a woman met. Neither of them was willing to lose.
After a long time, the men compromised beforehand.
Looking very pale, Stanley ordered, "Anthony, get me discharged from the hospital. I'll go back to school with her."
Glaring at him, Sharon sneered, "You're crazy!"
Lifting the blanket, Stanley was about to get up. "Since I've asked for your forgiveness, then I'll be with you 24 hours a day. I'll follow you everywhere you go. If you don't want to stay in the hospital, that's fine. I'll go to school with you."
Staring at him in shock, Sharon felt that this man was out of his mind.
Trying to stand, but Stanley's body was still too weak. With that, his body swayed a little, and his vision went a little black. Sharon's expression changed, and she strode over to support him, "Serves you right. What are you trying to prove? The nurse has already ordered for you to stay in bed!"
"I don't care!"
"But I do!" Sharon roared. "How you suddenly fainted at school, scared the hell out of me, don't you know that?"
After that, she met the man's bright eyes. Stunned for a moment, she then realized what she had just said. She guessed that her words made him feel comfortable.
How could she say those words out loud? With that, she cleared her throat and said, "Don't move. Listen to the nurse's advice and continue to take the drip. I really have to go back, or it will be too late to..."
"If you are not in the hospital, I would not stay here. It's up to you."
Before she could finish her sentence, Stanley interrupted her.
That made Sharon enraged. Why does this man have such a bad temper?
Anthony, who stood aside, looked at the whole scene. He took the opportunity to join the conversation. "Mrs. Jones, it's just one night. It would be more convenient for you to take care of him. Besides, I don't have time to take care of him at night. There still some family stuff I need to deal with. If you're not taking care of him, I guess I'll have to hire a caretaker."
Suspiciously, Sharon looked at him, "Don't you live by yourself? What's there to handle at home?"
"Uh, I recently got a girlfriend, and I promised to bring her to the movies this evening."
"Is that true?"
"Of course it's true."
