Ariah chatted with Sharon in the ward for a long time. It was only when her phone rang that she was ready to leave for work.
"Have a good rest. When I'm done with the few cases, I'll apply for leave to come and accompany you."
After she answered the phone with a frown, Sharon asked, "Is there something difficult to deal with?"
"Well, I don't want to hide it from you. I really have a headache from my work. Our hospital has been working with the police. Some of the victims rescued by them have some psychological problems, and they are basically sent to me. Recently, several patients' emotions have been particularly unstable, so the doctor urged me to go back to see them. Oh, I must excuse myself now."
"Ariah, you go to work first. Drive safe."
"Okay, I know. Have a good rest."
When Ariah left the ward, she saw Stanley walking toward her with the two children. Upon seeing her, the kids cheered and ran over, so she squatted down and hugged them to give them a kiss. "Do you miss me?" "Yes!" Sadie's voice was soft and cute. "Do you miss me too?"
As for Seamus, he put his hands in his pockets, acting like a little adult. "You've become more and more beautiful recently. How do you take care of your skin?"
The children were too adorable that she wished she could take them back! It was hard to come across such charismatic kids.
Ariah hugged them and talked with them for a while until Stanley, who was standing beside them, said, "Anthony, take them to the ward first. I'll be there later."
"OK."
As Anthony brought the two kids to Sharon, Ariah stood up and cast a glance at the man who obviously had something to tell her. "You sent Anthony away on purpose. What do you want to tell me now?"
In response, Stanley put on a very faint smile. When she wanted to take a closer look, his expression had already disappeared.
"I do have something to ask you."
"What is it?" "What did you tell Sharon in the ward?"
"Since when have you got interested in other people's conversation?"
While glancing at her, Stanley asked directly, "Did Sharon tell you about the incident in Tasnil?"
Ariah nodded and replied, "Yes, she did. I've also asked a few questions."
"What did she say?"
"She didn't say much, but she did mention that luckily you were there to rescue her in time. She's hurt so badly, and things must be very dangerous in Tasnil. However, she just told me the good things, so I couldn't keep asking her for the remaining details..."
Just then, Ariah frowned. "Why are you asking this?"
After a brief silence, Stanley pursed his lips, and his eyes were gloomy.
Right then, she felt that something was wrong with him, and she was quite scared to think about that. "What's going on? Tell me."
"After Sharon came back from Tasnil, I felt that there was something wrong with her..."
"What's the problem?" Ariah's eyes widened in shock.
"She said that there are some strange things in her memory which she could not understand. Perhaps she had just got up from sleep. When she sleeps at night, she can't sleep well. She always cries in her dreams, and it's hard to wake her up..."
Heaving a long sigh, he continued, "She was like this when I stayed in the hospital to accompany her last night. She might look fine, but she had her worries deep down. I suspect that Shawn's death has left a huge impact on her."
