"You wouldn't be you if you hadn't meet Shawn."
Stanley sighed. "During the days when you were held captive by Shawn, I was angry and regretful. All sorts of emotions came one after another. For a moment, I also blamed you for not thinking about me when you made your decisions."
"Later on when I couldn't find you, I would lie in bed all night, and I thought that I couldn't blame you as your father's death affected you a lot, though you might hide it well. But when you found out the truth about his death, you probably couldn't help it but needed an explanation from Shawn."
However, he had never expected that Shawn would still have the audacity to contact Sharon even when he couldn't protect himself.
He forgotten about this point and almost lost Sharon.
"People have emotions and desires, and you are an emotional person. After knowing the real cause of your father's death, you wouldn't be Sharon if you dealt with this calmly."
Stanley's forehead was pressed against hers, and his voice was as heavy, "All these things have passed, so don't take it to heart, and I don't blame you. Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to leave this place."
He was so many years older than Sharon, and so he was more insightful than her. If he resented and her because of this, it would certainly be childish, and their age gap wouldn't make sense anymore.
Hearing this, Sharon felt warm and loved. "Haven't you thought of the escape route? We'll take the plane back tomorrow."
"I'm afraid they're going to close off the city tonight." Stanley thought for a moment and said to her, "When Shawn learns that you're missing, he'll definitely ask the general to send out his army to get you back."
Sharon widened her eyes. "How did you know that Shawn had connections with the general here?"
"Since I wanted to save you, I had to thoroughly know everything." Stanley caressed her cheek; She had lost a lot of weight. "On the day I received your call, I departed immediately and arrived here three days ago. After observing Shawn for a long time, I found out that he was very close to the local general who was very powerful."
Sharon gulped. "You already know all of this?"
"Yes."
"Then how are you going to save me?"
"Do you want to know the truth?"
"Yes."
"The truth is that I was in a hurry, and I'm not fully prepared. Now I can only take it one step at a time."
Sharon was taken aback at first, but then she nodded with a smile, "Sure, we're in this together."
This time, Stanley smiled top while deepening his gaze. "Don't worry, I won't let you die here. I'll take you back. The two children are still waiting for us."
Sharon threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, muttering to herself, "Thank goodness you're here."
Otherwise, she did not know how long she could hold on.
Stanley hugged her back, and the two of them embraced each other in the quiet night.
After a long time, Stanley said, "Sit down for a while. I'll go out and take a look."
Obediently Sharon nodded her head.
Then, Stanley stood up and left.
As she sat on the bed, she took off her shoes and climbed to sit in the middle of the bed. She looked around the room. It was very simple and crude, and she didn't know where they find this house. She didn't notice her surroundings as she had her gaze on Stanley's hair soon after she got out of the car.
Sharon sat in bed thinking as she waited for Stanley.
She didn't know what he was saying outside. She lay in bed and waited for a long time before he entered the house. By the time he came in, she was already sleepy.
