Stanley went to the hospital as soon as he returned to Beachmarsh City. He had to come to visit Jewel since she was injured.
When the door of the ward was pushed open, Jewel was not asleep, instead, she was resting with her eyes closed.
Listening to the footsteps and the mature male scent, she didn't have to open her eyes to know who the person was.
"Ouch." she whispered in a low voice.
She put up a great act by looking very pitiful.
Stanley pulled a chair over and sat down. Jewel slowly opened her eyes, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes. "Stanley? W-When did you come in?"
As she spoke, she struggled to get up.
Stanley held her shoulders down. "Don't move. You should rest."
Jewel lay down gently, looking as pale as snow. "How do you know I'm in the hospital?"
"I heard it in the radio."
"I knew it. It must be the work of the paparazzi when I was admitted to the hospital. I have asked my agent to deal with it and think of a way to suppress this matter."
Stanley nodded. "I'll find a way to solve it. Have a good rest."
Jewel answered weakly.
Before he came here, Stanley had already contacted the hospital. He asked about Jewel's condition briefly and knew that she was seriously injured, so he immediately came here.
After keeping her company for a long while, Stanley got up and was about to leave when she muttered.
"Stanley..."
Jewel took his hand. "Can't you accompany me for a while longer?"
"You need to rest, and I still have something to do, so I have to go now." Stanley pushed her hand away. "I'll come again tomorrow."
Jewel was disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. "Okay then."
Stanley didn't ask who hurt her even as he was leaving. Jewel looked at his back and couldn't help blurting, "Stanley, don't you want to know who hit me?" "I don't have to. No matter who hurt you, I'll make him pay the price."
However, at this moment, he would never expect that Sharon was involved in this incident. He assumed that it was another unnamed celebrity who had a grudge against Jewel.
"Stanley, is it because of my brother that you treat me so well?"
Jewel was moved, but she hoped that he loved her and he did it out of love.
Stanley thought of the final words his comrade-in-arms said before he died.
"Take care of Jewel. She is my only sister. Take care of her."
That was why for so many years, Stanley had given Jewel the best of everything as a form of compensation.
Stanley returned to the villa. The house was empty and eerily quiet.
He came to the second floor, thinking that he would see the figure of Sharon in the bedroom since there was no one downstairs, but the bedroom was empty as well.
He frowned.
He took out his mobile phone and called her, but after he got through, he heard a mechanical female voice from the phone, "Sorry, the number you dialed has been switched off. Please try again later."
Stanley tossed his phone away, annoyed.
