Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 772

An eerie silence engulfed the ward when there were only three people left there and none of them spoke.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Elaine felt uneasy and jittery.

Howard's gaze made her on pins and needles.

Why did he look at her like this without blinking? She felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Ahem." Finally, she cleared her throat and looked at the man standing at the end of the bed. "Dr. Perkins, aren't you on a business trip? Why are you back?"

However, Vincent remained expressionlessly silent.

The awkward silence ensued.

Licking her dry lips nervously, Elaine was about to say something when Vincent finally shifted his gaze aside and asked, "Who are you?"

Paul knew that the last name of Elaine's employer was Perkins, so when he heard her calling him "Dr. Perkins", he immediately figured out his identity.

Smiling flatteringly, he started, "Hi, Dr. Perkins, I'm..."

"Get out!"

Vincent interrupted him with a cold voice before he could finish.

Stunned, Paul stammered, "W-What?"

Vincent frowned and snapped, "I don't like to repeat myself. Get out."

Upon hearing that, Paul went stiff and turned to Elaine. "Elaine..."

It was an awkward situation for her right now. Although she didn't know why Howard was angry, she could feel that he was not in a good mood right now.

"Paul, go back." After thinking for a while, Elaine said, "Come and visit me tomorrow morning. You can go back to have a rest tonight."

After all, he was a just young kid. Elaine figured that he was already feeling sorry for making her be admitted to the hospital. After being stared down by Howard, He must be eager to leave here as soon as possible out of fear.

Hearing her words, he immediately blurted, "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."

Elaine nodded and urged, "Be careful on your way back."

After Paul left, she quickly got up from the bed, found a chair, and asked Howard to sit down. "Dr.

Perkins, why did you suddenly come back? Here, have a seat."

Vincent looked at her coldly and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

"I slipped..."

"Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth," he urged with a cold expression.

With a serious look, she looked up at him and started, "It is the truth. I slipped..."

"Ruben!"

Vincent shouted, and then he heard a loud bang outside the door when Ruben stumbled into the room. "Hey. Did you call for me?"

Giving him a cold glare, Vincent huffed, "Are you eavesdropping on us?"

Ruben rubbed his nose awkwardly and replied, "N-No..."

Elaine was surprised to see him though. "Mr. Lawson, why are you here?"

Putting up a pretentious surprise expression, Ruben said, "Oh, I have a stomachache, so I came to the hospital to have a check. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."

Was it?

Skeptical appeared on Elaine's face.

Upon seeing it, Ruben quickly asked before she managed to suspect anything, "What's going on? Are you okay?"

"I slipped. The doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow."

Initially, Elaine wanted to ask both of them to sit, but the ward she was in was very small and it made the atmosphere particularly tense as two tall and sturdy men stood in a tiny space.

Without thinking much, Ruben blurted, "Good to hear that. We went to your house but no one answered the door, only to find that you weren't home. We're so worried..."

Before he could finish his words, Vincent shot his cold glare towards him.

Ruben broke out in a cold sweat for nearly made a slip of the tongue again.

The reply was out of Elaine's expectation though. "Y-You went to my house?"
