Eventually, Stanley chased Liam out for being too talkative.
The door of the ward was closed again, and Stanley came back in. Sharon could not help but ask, "Since when did your relationship with him become better?"
It was a completely different feeling from before as if the wall between the two of them was gradually being torn down.
"Does it seem so?" Stanley, on the contrary, frowned. "Why don't I think so?"
After saying that, he did not want to linger on this topic. He let her lie down again and motioned for her to rest. "Before I came over, the doctor told me about your situation. He said you're fine and there's nothing much to worry about. Just that you should continue resting. When you fully recover, you will be discharged from the hospital."
Sharon obediently nodded and continued to fix her gaze on him. It was only until now that she stopped holding back and asked, "Where's Shawn?"
Hearing that, Stanley paused, and he did not speak for a while.
Sharon reached out her hand from under the blanket and grabbed his hand firmly. "Tell me what happened. I... I don't remember the whole thing very clearly."
Waking up now, she didn't remember very clearly what had happened in Tasnil a week ago, only some fragments which were intermittent and vague.
Stanley was taken aback. "You don't remember?"
"I remember parts of it. Tell me the whole thing." Sharon's gaze was burning. "I remember you came looking for me in Tasnil, and we were being hunted down. In the end, somehow, I had a bomb in my hands... The last thing I could remember was a dazzling flame and the sound of an explosion. And the rest, I don't remember very clearly."
There were also times when she dreamt of Shawn, who kept telling her, "Sharon, live on. Sharon, I love you..."
These words were deeply engraved in her mind.
Suddenly, Stanley stood up and left.
Sharon was dumbfounded. "Hey, where are you going..."
Before she could finish his sentence, Stanley disappeared. After a while, Liam walked in with a suspicious expression on his face. "What did you talk to Stanley about? He didn't look well. He asked me to come in to accompany you, and then he ran to, I think, the doctor's office."
Stunned for a moment, Sharon replied, "I didn't... I didn't say anything."
Liam snorted as a sign that he obviously didn't believe her. Pulling a chair over, he then sat down beside her bed. With his head tilted, he hesitated for a while before finally saying, "There's something I wanted to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Is the old man really dead?"
Sharon frowned and tried to recall. After a long pause, she said, "Shouldn't you be asking Stanley about this? He knows more than I do."
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask you this. That fella? He didn't even want to answer my question." Liam glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "You're not as tight-mouthed as he is, and so I thought you'd spill some information. So tell me, what happened to Isai?"
Sharon spread out her hands and shrugged. "To be honest, I don't know either."
"You..."
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Stanley brought a doctor in, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. In a low voice, he questioned the doctor, "Her memory is intermittent. What's going on? Didn't you say that as long as she wakes up, there will be no serious problems?"
"Yes, we did say that..." The doctor was also a bit confused. He took a look under Sharon's eyelids and then patiently asked her some questions. With that, Sharon told the truth. There were indeed some fragments in the memories of Tasnil that she couldn't recall.
"Maybe it's because I just woke up, so I've not fully regained my memory."
Sharon didn't expect Stanley to be so nervous after hearing her casual remark. She reached out her hand to pull his, "Hey, I'm fine. Don't worry. Maybe I'll start to remember things in a few days."
