"You didn't hit him?" Jimmy didn't believe it. "Then why is his face swollen? If it's not you, who could it be?"
Indeed, no one would dare to abuse a patient at the hospital.
At the same time, Ariah's suspicious gaze swept over as well.
Sharon felt it was hard to explain even if she had a good reason, so she glared fiercely at Stanley, who was sitting on the hospital bed. "You tell them."
Immediately, everyone's gaze fell on Stanley.
But he merely gave them an indifferent look and said, "Well, it's not a big deal. I just got a little too worked up and ended up beating a paramour."
"A paramour?" Jimmy was stunned. "Who?"
Stanley's eyes instantly turned cold. "Shawn Lewis."
"Hahaha!"
Ariah burst out laughing, but then realized that it wasn't appropriate, so she immediately stopped. "Oops, sorry."
Then, she turned to look at Sharon, who shrugged in helplessness.
Indeed, Stanley had got into a fight with Shawn just now, and it was Stanley, the patient, who started the fight.
Thirty minutes ago, Stanley went out to look for Sharon, only to see her and Shawn together. Initially, he didn't think too much of it. But then, he saw that Shawn not only didn't keep a distance from her, but even acted intimately with her in front of him, so he got very angry and beat Shawn up, despite the fact that he was still injured.
Although he was thirty- something now, for the first time in his life, he fought impulsively like a teenager.
Upon hearing about Stanley's savage deeds, Jimmy didn't comment anything but give him a deep look.
Ariah hurriedly brought the two children to Stanley's side and said with a smile, "Sadie didn't sleep well last night. She even cried during the sleep because she was very worried about you."
Meanwhile, Sadie looked at Stanley's bandaged head and asked timidly, "Daddy, does it hurt?"
Stanley picked up his daughter and placed her next to him on the bed. Stroking her little face, he said, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore and Daddy will be discharged tomorrow."
Immediately, Sadie's face brightened up.
Then, Stanley's gaze turned to his son, who had been staring at him silently with a pair of doe eyes that was full of worries.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Stanley caressed his head. "I heard you take care of your sister yesterday. That's great."
"Yeah, and Sadie's been well- behaved too," said Seamus with shyness.
After being consoled by Stanley, only then did the kids brighten up again.
"Alright," said Sharon as she finally stepped out and took Sadie out of Stanley's embrace. "Let's go and have some food. Daddy needs to rest now."
Stanley said nothing and let her take the kids away. He only withdrew his gaze when the door of the ward was closed.
Ariah had also left. Now, it was just the men left in the ward.
Jimmy took an apple from the fruit basket and casually wiped it with his clothes. Then, he took a bite and said, "Stanley, you've recovered your memories already, haven't you?"
