Hazel pushed open the door of the ward and leaned out half of her body. Her eyes were swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse. "Lady Ember asked for the two of you."
With a nod, Sharon immediately stood up and went in.
Just as Stanley was about to follow her into the ward, suddenly his phone beeped. There was a text.
"Stanley, shall we meet?"
The sender was Shawn.
Seeing that, Stanley narrowed his eyes. Then he instantly replied, "Location?"
Needless to say, he had planned to meet Shawn as well. It was time they had a good talk about Sharon.
Not long after, Shawn sent him an address. "Tonight, I'll treat you and Sharon to dinner. Bring her with you. How about the three of us have a meal together?"
Bring Sharon?
Stanley sneered and did not reply to the text. Then, he put away his phone and entered the ward.
Walking in, he saw the three women of different ages sitting around each other. He did not know what they were talking about, but they were laughing heartily. Quietly, Stanley stood at the door and watched, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart.
By noon, Stanley intended to go to the appointment with Shawn. When Sharon asked where he was going, he just patted her head and smiled. "I'm going to solve a problem. So, please stay here and accompany mom. I'll be back soon."
As Sharon thought he was going to deal with work, so she nodded her head obediently and said, "Well, remember to eat, and please don't starve yourself."
With a smile, Stanley agreed.
After watching him leave, Sharon withdrew her gaze and returned to the ward. When Ember saw her entering alone, she casually asked, "Where's Stanley?"
"Oh, he went back to work. I think he will not return for a while. But you have me here to keep you company."
Ember smiled and said, "Well, since he's not here. Sharon, accompany me to a place."
"Where?"
"To visit your father," Ember looked at her for a
moment. "I heard your father had been in a coma for a long time. As an in-law, I should have visited him a long time ago, but I never had the chance. Now that I have returned, I should do that."
Ember's request was out of Sharon's expectations. "But you are..."
"I'm fine. I came back yesterday and even took a flight for over ten hours. I bet the distance to visit your father will not be very far," Ember insisted. "Get the doctor and ask him to come with me. It won't be a big deal."
With no choice, Sharon called for the doctor.
Although her father was in another hospital, it would only take them thirty minutes to get there. Originally, Sharon wanted to find an opportunity and call Stanley to inform him she was accompanying his mother to visit her father.
But she had zero chances as Ember kept talking to her, so she had left the decision of making a phone call behind.
Arriving at the hospital, Sharon brought Ember directly to the ward. As Ember looked at Sharon's motionless father, she sighed and patted Sharon on the back of her hand as she said, "You too are a poor child."
Giving her a faint smile, Sharon shook her head. "It's okay. Having Stanley and his child with me, my life right now is happy. I do not feel pitiful at all."
It seemed that Ember did not expect such an answer, so she glanced at her in surprise.
