Sharon had been sitting in a daze the entire time. Caught off guard, Sharon felt someone grabbing her chin, and following that, she was poured a mouthful of water, which caused her to choke instantly.
Seeing this, Ryan frowned. "What are you doing?"
Ignoring him, Shawn loosened his grip on Sharon's chin. He shoved the fruit into Sharon's hand and instructed her, "Eat."
Sharon glared hatefully at him.
"Why are you staring at me?" Shawn laughed instead. "Do you want to starve to death? Or do you want to die of thirst? Look at yourself now. You're almost dehydrated. If you don't replenish your body with water, you may lose your life!"
Heaving with anger, Sharon threw the fruit in her hand onto his face before standing up to leave.
"What are you doing?" Shawn grabbed her wrist.
"Let me go!"
"Tell me!"
"I'm going to find him!"
Shawn sneered and asked, "How?"
Shaking off his hand, Sharon said, "Using the way we came!"
She had waited here for such a long time, but he had yet to appear. This meant that Stanley was very likely to be in danger. If he were safe, he would have come looking for her a long time ago.
The more Sharon thought about it, the more nervous she became, and she got all jittery. All she wanted was to go back to the starting point and see what was going on with him.
On the other hand, Shawn had been holding her hand all this while, refusing to let her leave.
Being held still, Sharon was both anxious and angry. "I said to let me go, did you hear that? Ryan, pull him away!"
After a moment's hesitation, Ryan said, "Miss Cruz, it's indeed a bit inappropriate for you to go back now."
It seemed he was on Shawn's side?
"You..." Sharon pointed at him, unable to say a single word. After a long while, she calmed down and looked at them expressionlessly. "Stanley is my husband and he is in trouble now. As his wife, I will never leave him! No matter what you say, I will definitely go back and find him."
They might feel that her way of doing things was too irrational. If she rashly sought it out, it might affect Stanley... but she couldn't just sit there and wait for her doom.
She couldn't just walk away and left him behind like that.
She wanted to see Stanley for herself and make sure that he was safe!
She needed to see him - dead or alive.
Just like four years ago, no matter how difficult and dangerous the situation was, she would not give up!
Ryan owed Stanley his life. He had once promised Stanley that he would return the favor. Now that Stanley had him protect Sharon, he couldn't allow anything to happen to her.
"We don't know what's going on at the log cabin. Maybe there's an ambush there. If we go there without careful consideration, we'll be in danger."
After thinking for a while, Ryan explained to her.
Sharon looked straight at him. "That's why I'm going to find Stanley." After saying this, Sharon stopped looking at him and shifted her gaze back to Shawn. "I must go and find him. If you don't let me go, I will find a chance to. Shawn, consider this as me begging you, let me go back and look for him. It's been so long, he hasn't come back yet. I... I'm so worried."
At the end of her words, she had softened, and her tone was pleading.
Shawn stared at her for a while. Just when Sharon thought Shawn was going to shake his head and refuse, he opened his mouth and said, "Let's eat these fruits first."
