Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 402

Two months later.

In Tasnil.

The city in Tasnil was hot and humid all year round, even when December was just around the corner. Still, in her short-sleeved and shorts, Sharon was sitting in a wheelchair as she thought to herself, "It mus be winter in Beachmarsh City now. I wonder if it's snowing."

Although Seamus and Sadie were three years old, they had never seen snow before. It snowed once in the year they were born, but they were still young, so they didn't know what snow was. In the following two years in Beachmarsh City, it had never snowed during winter.

When Mario walked out of the kitchen with food in hand, he saw Sharon was sitting in front of the window as she stared at the scenery outside in a daze.

"Miss Cruz." After he placed the food on the table, Mario walked toward her and called her name.

When Sharon heard her name, she turned o look back at the eighteen-year-old boy, who had healthy, wheat-colored skin due to geographical reasons, and his facial features were still slightly immature. A row of white teeth would be revealed whenever he smiled.

"I've prepared some lunch. You must be hungry, so you should come and have some."

Then, Mario pushed the wheelchair toward the table.

As Mario pushed Sharon's wheelchair, she couldn't help but sigh because, since the night from two months ago, when she had jumped off the cliff and injured herself, she still didn't have the strength to stand up.

The young man Mario was hired by Shawn. A month ago, when Shawn brought her here from Beachmarsh City, he realized that she was not used to the dishes here, so he hired a local person who could speak English and cook western dishes to take care of her.

"Shawn told me that you had no appetite these days. I was thinking, perhaps you might be craving spicy food, so I added some chili in the dishes." As Mario served her the food, he passed the cutlery to her and said, "Miss Cruz, enjoy your meal."

However, after Sharon picked up her fork, she still had no appetite at all.

"You still don't have an appetite?" When Mario saw her actions, he couldn't help but worry.

At that moment, Sharon glanced at him twice when she realized that this young boy really cared about her. Then, she smiled as she picked up her fork again and took a bite. When Mario saw that she was eating, he grinned happily.

"Have you ever eaten hot pot?" Suddenly, Sharon asked.

Confused, Mario shook his head and asked, "What's that?"

"It's very delicious food on our side, especially in this season. A cold breeze is blowing outside. The whole family gathered around and eat hot pot." Sharon was all eager, "If you like spicy food, put more chili in it. If you like light food, the bottom of the pot can be light. Anyway, everyone will fall in love with hot pot."

After that, Sharon smiled at him and said, "I'll take you to have a try in the future."

In fact, Mario had never left his country, and he had never even traveled far away from his own country. Although he did not know anything about what Sharon had said, when he looked at the expression on her face when she described it, he felt that what she said must be very tasty.

After two bites, Sharon decided that she couldn't eat anymore. The first reason was that the weather on that day was hot and she really didn't have an appetite. The second reason was how she was supposed to have an appetite in such an environment?

Every day at noon, Sharon would rest for about an hour, and Mario would take her out of the wheelchair and carried her onto the bed. After Sharon thanked him. He gave her a bashful smile and went out lightly.

As soon as Mario left, Sharon lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

After a long time, she closed her eyes. At first, she didn't want to sleep, but as time went by, her eyelids couldn't hold on, and she slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, she could not help but recall what had happened before.

Two months ago, on the edge of the cliff, Shawn held her in his arms and jumped down from such a high place without a second thought. At that time, she thought that she would definitely die at the bottom of the cliff, but as a result, there was water at the bottom of the cliff. When the two fell into it, they survived miraculously.

It was just that when she jumped down, her leg hit a stone at the bottom of the water. From that day onward, she had been stuck in a wheelchair.

At that time, Shawn took her out of the water and brought her to the shore. There was a car, clothes, money, and even two fake ID cards. In fact, he had prepared everything, and he then drove her away in the dark.

Other than that, Shawn had also prepared a place for them to stay. However, when he realized that Sharon's leg was injured, he did not dare to bring her to the hospital, so he could only ask someone to go to the pharmacy to buy some medication to help her simply bandage her wounds. After that, he watched Sharon whined in pain and hugged him to sleep for the entire night.

The next day, Sharon began to have a high fever and started to spout nonsense. At that moment, his trusted subordinate told him to give up Sharon because it was more important for him to leave this place first.

However, Shawn was unwilling to do so because since he had brought Sharon along with him, he would definitely make sure she stayed by his side all the time. How could he leave alone?

Then, he decided to take the risk to find a doctor to give Sharon an injection. After Sharon took her medicine and her wound was cleaned, she finally felt better.

On the third day, Sharon woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shawn packing up his things. The moment Shawn heard the sound of movements, he looked back at her and went to help her up from the bed, "Are you feeling better?"

Although Sharon wanted to push him away, she didn't have any strength, so she asked him in a hoarse voice, "Where are we?"

"We are at a safe place."

"What are you trying to do?"

"I'm planning to take you away from here."

"Shawn, you... Ahem!"

"Don't get angry!" Immediately, Shawn patted her back and said, "The doctor said that you need to rest. When you were at the bottom of the lake, you caught a cold. If you don't take care of your body, you will have sequelae in the future."

Nonetheless, Sharon couldn't be bothered to listen to his lies while she struggled to get out of bed, but Shawn couldn't stop her. In the end, he had to knock her out and make her fall asleep. Only then did he carry her into the car.

Later that night, he took the chance to head to the station while it was dark. In order not to arouse suspicion or let Sharon make a big fuss in case she woke up, he fed her sleeping pills.

Due to the pills, Sharon fell into a deep sleep. By the time she was awake again, it was already the next day. The sun was shining brightly, and Shawn had successfully taken her away from Beachmarsh City. "I have to say that Stanley really has some means. In these three days, he almost searched through the entire Beachmarsh City, but he would never have thought that I would take you to a psychiatric hospital. As Shawn spoke, he took the bottle and fed her a sip of water. "Now that we've left Beachmarsh City, as long as we go out of his territory, it won't be easy for him to find us."

However, Sharon trembled and got rid of the water that he passed to her.

That action did not anger Shawn, and he fetched another bottle of water. "You've been spending the whole day sleeping these days. You haven't eaten or drank anything. You're so weak that you can't get out of bed. So be good and drink some water first. I'll get you something to eat at the next station."

Immediately, Sharon turned away and struggled to get out of his arms. When she tried to open the door with her fingers, she realized it was locked and couldn't open it.

At that moment, she wanted to cry, but there was no water to be excreted from her body, so she could only shiver and call out Stanley's name in her heart over and over again...

Somehow, her attitude seemed to have annoyed Shawn, and he was finally irritated. When he pulled her into his arms, Sharon's forehead bumped into his chest with such great strength that it hurt so much.
