Outside the restaurant, Sharon stood beside the car in a daze. Panic was written all over her face as if she was frightened. Her mind was blank and she was in a numb state.
Anthony saw that she looked extremely pale and shocked. Thinking that she must have never seen such a violent scene at such a young age, he could not help but ask, worried, "Madam, are you in shock?"
His voice seemed to pull Sharon back to her senses. Her eyes darting around, she looked up at him, shook her head, and said hoarsely, "N-No."
Anthony sighed secretly. Even he was a little shocked by Stanley's wrath tonight, let alone a young girl like her.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something comforting, but he glanced at the person who came out of the restaurant and shouted, "Boss!"
Stunned, Sharon immediately turned her head to look at him. In the dark night, Stanley walked from the dark and emerged himself. She could hardly see any expression on his face, and his frosty gazes made her heart tremble in fear.
Stanley approached. Sharon opened her mouth and was about to say something when he simply brushed past her shoulder. He did not stop, not even giving her a bat of an eye.
Sharon froze, her stiff limbs hanging beside her body.
With a loud bang, Stanley got in the car and slammed the door shut.
"Anthony, go!"
Stanley's cold voice came out of the car, and even the temperature of the air seemed to have vaguely dropped.
Anthony was at Stanley's beck and call, so he pointed at the car door and said, "Madam, please get in the car. We'll leave now."
Sharon walked over with a pale face. As soon as her hand touched the door handle, she grimaced because of the pain. Her little face was as pale as snow, looking rather miserable.
Anthony immediately opened the car door for her. Sharon lowered her gaze, thanking him in a low voice. Then she bent down and sat in the car.
Behind the wheels, Anthony did not dare to make a sound. There was no light in the car where it was eerily dark and even the atmosphere in the air was cold.
The couple sitting behind Anthony didn't make any noise since they got in the car. Anthony fidgeted anxiously and not knowing what to say to ease the mood.
Sharon felt that her vision was a little dark, and felt a surge of chilliness surging her body. Her hands which she put on her knees were trembling.
She turned her head to look at him. He was covered with a gloomy aura and his thin lips were pursed tightly.
The air was slowly filled with the rustic smell of blood. Sharon shifted her gaze slightly and saw that some liquid was dripping from his fingers which were hanging on one side.
It was blood!
Her mind exploded, and she suddenly remembered that in the restaurant just now, Liam picked up a chair and smashed it on his body...
Was he injured?
Before she could react, Sharon had already taken action by stretching out to check on his injury. "Your hand..."
"Don't touch me!"
Before she touched his clothes, he shoved her away so hard that she flung to the other side of the seat and her head directly hit the car window with a loud bang.
Sharon's vision turned black, and she took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She turned her head and saw that he was looking at her with a pair of cold eyes and a blank expression on his face.
Stunned, Sharon stared at him blankly. His cold gaze made her feel like she was a complete stranger and it made her heart ache.
She supported herself by holding on to the car door and sat up straight. She took the initiative to shrink into the corner to keep a distance from him.
If he didn't want her to touch him, she wouldn't.
But she couldn't help saying, "You're bleeding. You need to get it fixed..."
A surge of anger burst out of Stanley's eyes, which was a rather terrifying sight. The blue veins on his forehead bulged and he said fiercely, "Shut up!"
For a moment, Sharon's face turned pale.
This Stanley made her afraid...
She pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking. Her hands were trembling uncontrollably, so she clenched her hands tightly, and her nails nearly dug into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.
She curled up her body and leaned against the door. She turned her head and looked out of the window. The shadow of the tree fell back, and the neon lights flashed. Eventually, the scene in front of her began to blur slowly...
Anthony found something wrong through the rearview mirror. "Boss, Madam..."
Stanley tilted his head and his expression changed when he saw her fragile body falling down.
"Sharon!"
Sharon's vision turned black. Before she fell into unconsciousness, his powerful arm held her tightly.
Before falling into his arms, Sharon forced herself to say, "I... have nothing to do with him..."
Before she could finish her words, she passed out completely.
The thick and long eyelashes moved. Sharon woke up from the unconsciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling and overwhelmed by the smell of disinfectant.
She moved her body, and the heart-wrenching pain spread from her arms. Her facial features were wrinkled together, and her mouth was tightly closed. In the end, she couldn't help groaning because of too much pain.
"Hmm..."
She closed her eyes again to ease the pain in her body.
She recalled that she fainted in the car and couldn't remember what happened after that.
There was a noise from the other side of the door. She turned her head and looked over. Someone opened the door and came in.
It was Anthony.
Anthony saw that she had woken up and heaved a sigh of relief. "Madam, are you all right?"
