Sharon hugged her knees together. Then, she rested her chin on her knees, admiring his beauty.
Glancing at her, Stanley said with a faint smile, "Do I look good?"
With a nod, Sharon praised, "Yes, you look amazing! The abs are where they are supposed to be. Your lines are fantastic as well! Plus, there's no fat at all."
"Miss, you're drooling! Please wipe off your saliva. Come on, let's eat breakfast after washing up, alright?" Stanley smiled helplessly. "Hazel has come up several times to get us."
"Alright!" Sharon nodded her head and followed his orders.
The dinning room on the first floor.
While Sharon finished her breakfast, Stanley on the opposite side was almost done with his meal as well. However, he seemed to be somewhat out of sorts as he was lightly tapping his fingers on the table. After pondering for a moment, he got up and headed to the kitchen.
Looking at his sudden actions, Sharon wondered what he was trying to do, and her gaze followed his figure.
As Stanley entered the kitchen, he stood in front of Hazel. At first, it seemed that Hazel was stunned by his words. But after that, she started to wipe her tears, and in the end, her tone was full of disbelief, "Really?"
Stanley nodded.
This time, Hazel's tears were falling like rain.
Upon seeing that, Sharon put down the cup and went over. As Hazel saw her coming in, while her eyes were still red, she asked her, "You came back with Stanley last night. So you know about your mother-in-law's return?"
Sharon glanced at Stanley, then nodded. "Yes."
When Hazel was young, she had always served Ember. Therefore, their relationship was deep. For the past few years, Ember had been recuperating abroad, so Hazel rarely saw Ember.
Therefore, the reason Stanley told Hazel about Ember's return was that he wanted to bring her to meet Ember for one last time.
When they arrived at the hospital, Hazel pushed open the door and went into the ward. When she saw Ember lying on the hospital bed weakly, her tears fell uncontrollably as she called out, "Lady Ember!"
Ember did not expect that Hazel would come and see her. She was so excited that her eyes turned red as well.
Just then, Sharon pulled Stanley out of the room so the two elder women could have some space. Glancing at Sharon, he smiled and sat down on the bench with her in his arms.
Meanwhile, Sharon leaned her head on Stanley's shoulder, then held his hand and asked, "Is mom's illness getting better?"
As soon as she finished her words, she could clearly sense that Stanley's body stiffened.
"What's wrong?" Sharon raised her head to look at him. "Isn't she getting better?"
Stanley lowered his eyelashes, and his Adam's apple bobbed. After a while, he said blankly, "No, her condition is getting serious..."
Finally, Sharon understood why he rarely smiled since his return. Now she understood what was upsetting him.
"Can't we continue with the treatments? Let's find the best doctor, and use the best medicine! Whatever it takes! With the best treatment, she'll definitely hold on for a few more years, right?"
After saying that, Sharon felt her heart tighten. How could the heavens treat such a gentle and amiable person with such cruelty?
Before replying, Stanley twitched the corners of his mouth. "It's useless. If there were other ways, I would have used all my powers to give her the best treatment in the world."
Initially, Sharon wanted to comfort him, but in the end, she asked, "What... What caused Mom's illness?"
This question seemed to have touched Stanley's bottom line. With that, his expression became sinister, and his entire body was shrouded in a cruel aura. While his pitch- black gaze emitted a cold and harsh light, he spat out a sentence with his thin lips, "It's all because of that b*stard Isai Jones!"
Hearing that, Sharon was dumbfounded.
Because that was Stanley's father's name!
