Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 43

Zack smiled and said, "Miss Cruz, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Ahem." Sharon cleared her throat and said, "Dr. Dixon, have- have the hospital received any notice today?"

Stunned, Zack asked, "What kind of notice?"

"Uh, did someone tell the hospital not to treat my father?"

"Nope! Why did you suddenly ask so?"

No?

Sharon was taken aback and confused. Hadn't Stanley called the hospital yet? Or, was he just trying to scare her with his warning last night?

Before ending the call, she said, "Dr. Dixon, if anything happens to my father, please call me at once."

"Of course."

Keeping her mobile phone away, her heart was a big pile of mess, wondering whether Stanley would be so cold-blooded as to push her to a dead-end.

She was not in the mood for the whole day. From time to time, she would check her phone, but there was no phone call or text message.

No news was good news.

It was not until the afternoon that Sharon made up her mind to extend an olive branch to Stanley.

Women needed to be comforted when she was angry, and even more so when men were angry.

By offering an olive branch, maybe he would come to terms with her.

Alright!

After making up her mind, Sharon rolled up her sleeves and began to work.

At a gym.

Lying on the floor with sweats all over his body, Howard Perkins stared ahead in a daze. He was dragged out to the gym by a horrible man since morning and they had been working out until now without rest.

The horrible man tossed a ball at him and said flatly, "Get up, continue."

"I don't want to do it anymore! I'm exhausted!"

Howard did not move and complained. "It's my off day today. Can you let me go, please?"

Yes, the horrible man was Stanley.

"D*mn, what's wrong with him today? He dragged me out of my house early in the morning and began to train like a maniac! We've been playing basketball, kickboxing, and archery! He does whatever exercise that consumes the most energy!"

Howard grumbled to himself.

He was so exhausted from all the vigorous workouts that he could not get up.

Stanley glanced at him coldly, with contempt in his eyes.

Howard snorted and said, "Dude, may I know what kind of problems had you encountered in your life that you need to abuse yourself like this?"

This kind of inhuman exercise regime was simply terrifying.

Stanley's eyes darted around, but he didn't say a word. He lifted his leg and walked out.

There was something fishy about it.

Howard immediately got up and chased after him. "Hey, Stanley, talk to me. Why do you leave before you finish your words?"

He was about to hook his arms around Stanley's shoulders when Stanley waved his hand away, and spat lightly, "To blow off steam."

Then he left in a cool manner.

"To blow off steam? What kind of steam?"

Howard couldn't make a head nor tail of Stanley's remark.

The best way to blow off steam was to be with a woman. Why did he come here to blow off steam?

At the entertainment club.

"It's my treat today. Stanley, you can do whatever you want."

Howard hugged a beautiful girl in his arms and blinked with a smile. "You've been keeping your nose clean all this while. Why don't you indulge yourself tonight?"

In the dimly lit room, Stanley was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. His Adam's apple was protruding out of his throat, which was particularly sexy and attractive.

"Do you think I'm like you?"

He put one hand on his forehead and said quietly.
