Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 824

Anxiety struck Ronan. "Is that so? Did he really say that?"

"Yes! If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him yourself." With that, she took out her phone.

"Okay, let me ask him." Ronan took Elaine's phone and dialed Howard's number. Right when he was about to call him, a thought flashed across his mind. He looked at Elaine sharply. "Girl, you're not teaming up with Howard to deceive me, right?"

Feeling guilty, she answered, "Grandpa, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can call Dr. Perkins."

"Hmph, what's the point of calling him? If he wants to lie to me, then he won't tell me the truth."

Coming back to his senses, Ronan smartly said, "I should ask his leader instead."

Ronan must never find out about what happened. Otherwise, he would be worried sick.

Elaine tried to persuade him. "Take a seat first. Don't worry. Your health is the most important..."

However, Ronan pushed her hand away. "I was wondering why did so many strange things happen this morning. The fact that he decided to take such a long break was already weird enough, so I was suspecting that he must have been suspended. Also, he must be the one who broke the television. He's probably the one behind the newspaper delay as well. He was afraid that I would be worried after I see the news, so he came up with all these plans..."

The more Ronan thought about it, the more he thought it made sense. Anxiously, he asked once again, "Maya, where is the phone?"

"Coming!" Maya came over with the phone and a business card. "Mr. Perkins, this is Mr. Holmes' business card. Are you going to call him now?"

"Yes!"

"Alright."

Seeing that things were getting out of control, Elaine wanted to sneak out and call Howard.

"Stop right there!" However, Ronan spotted her with his eagle eyes and stopped her. "You come here and stand beside me. Don't you dare leave my sight!"

Elaine tried to come up with an excuese. "Grandpa, I'm having a stomachache."

"Hold it in!"

Elaine was speechless.

No matter how hard she tried to explain, Ronan refused to believe her.

Then, Ronan took the phone from Maya and called his friend. Standing aside nervously, Elaine felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles.

After the call was connected, Ronan did not even bother to greet Otis. Right away, he questioned him, "Otis, did something happened to Howard?"

Otis blurted out, "You only found out now?"

Otis's answer struck Ronan so hard that his leg went weak. He almost fell to the ground.

Immediately, Elaine noticed it, so she grabbed Ronan.

Ronan choked, "I saw the news and read the newspaper. Is it true?"

"Someone made a scene at the hospital, and they directly pointed out that Howard was the culprit. They even brought reporters from the TV station and accused Howard indiscriminately. The police had been investigating this issue for the past few days..."

Pausing for a moment, Otis continued, "Howard didn't tell you because he was afraid that you might get worried, right?"

Ignoring Otis's question, Ronan kept on asking, "Is the result out already?"

"No, they're still collecting evidence for investigation. To not stress him out, I asked him to take one week off. We'll decide what to do after the results come out."

"Sorry to put you through all the trouble." Ronan said, "I believe you know Howard's character very well. He's not a person who would do such things."

"Yes. I trust him."

After saying a few more words, Ronan hung up. Still holding on to the phone, he stared blankly into space. No one knew what was going through his mind.

"Grandpa..."

Elaine called out to him.

Snapping back to his senses, Ronan looked at her. "Where's Howard?"

Stunned for a moment, she answered, "He's in the hospital."

"He's already been suspended. Why is he still in the hospital?"

Elaine was contemplating whether she should tell Ronan about Norrisa, but Ronan urged her. "Come on! Tell me!"
