Stanley sat down by Sharon's side and pulled her up. "There's something I wanna ask you."
"Shoot it," she said, lying submissively in his arms. "You've been with Ariah for the past few days?" "Yeah, I went to find her in the early morning. But she was always busy, so I came back."
"I see." Licking his thin lips, Stanley asked somewhat nervously, "Has she started to treat you yet?"
"Nope, she doesn't have time."
He frowned. "Are you sure?"
Didn't Ariah say that Sharon was cured now? Why did Sharon say differently?
Meanwhile, Sharon grew suspicious at his questions and looked at him warily. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing..."
He stared at her innocent- looking eyes and couldn't help but blurt out, "Let's find a time to see Shawn."
Leaning against his chest and holding a cup of hot tea, she was enjoying the moment. "Who's Shawn?
Why do you wanna see him?"
Stanley was shocked.
Then, he turned to observe her expression carefully —she looked quite calm.
In the past, she would get excited.
But right now, she showed no emotions as if Shawn was just a stranger to her.
He was astounded to see that, although he remained impassive. "Nothing. Have a good rest."
"Alright."
Back to his office desk, Stanley immediately took out his phone and sent a text message to Ariah. "What did you do?"
A while later, Ariah texted back, "I cured her. Isn't that what you want?"
"But why did she say that you haven't treated her?"
"Well, try asking her what was she trying to get treated for."
Hearing that, he frowned and put down his phone, then calmly asked Sharon, who was still lying on the sofa, "Honey, what are you trying to get Ariah to treat you?"
Instantly, her brows twisted into a tight knot. Then, she stared at him with confusion.
Uh...
She could not remember why she looked for Ariah at all.
Meanwhile, he continued to gaze at her. "What's wrong?"
She moistened her lips and answered, "I... I don't remember."
Stanley was taken aback.
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, Sharon thought of something.
"You remember it?"
"Yeah."
"What is it?"
However, she looked at him hesitatingly.
Immediately, his body tensed up. "Tell me!"
Did she remember everything again?
"Ahem." Sharon cleared her throat. "Well, I think I went to consult Ariah about our sex life since there's been some ups and downs recently. But she was always busy, so we didn't get a chance to talk about it yet."
Stanley was choked at her reply.
Urgh, Ariah!
Just then, a text message came in again.
It was Ariah. "How's it going? Did you get the
answer? Haha, you must have found out that I had planted some new memory into her mind during the treatment, eh?"
"Will it do her harm?"
"Of course not! I know what I'm doing."
Stanley heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he went back to work and the office's atmosphere grew silent again. Soon, there was the sound of even breathing came behind him.
He turned around and saw that Sharon had fallen asleep already.
With a smile, he returned to work.
Later, when Sharon woke up, she realized that she was sleeping on a bed.
