Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 415

Compared to the living quarters from a week ago, the present residence was much better. Sharon was lying on a large, soft bed, looking at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. She felt like she was dreaming.

Around a week ago, Shawn had brought her here, and the people who welcomed them all seemed to have a high status, just as how Sharon had guessed. Indeed, the people Shawn visited this time were of very high status.

In fact, the other party was a general.

Well, this was what Shawn told her.

Although Sharon didn't know what kind of title the other person holds, she knew Shawn was in contact with the government officials of other countries.

After he became a businessman, how did he manage to get himself affiliated with some government officials from abroad?

Sharon did not understand and was also too unbothered to think about it.

The most important thing for her right now was to recover from her injuries so she could seize the opportunity to escape.

Although she believed that Stanley would find her one day, she wasn't sure when the day would eventually come. Would it be one year later? Ten years later? No, she couldn't wait. She had to save herself. Therefore, after settling down in this place, Sharon made a request to Shawn.

She hoped Shawn could find her a good orthopedic doctor.

At that time, Shawn heard her words and was straightforward with thoughts running through his mind, "You want me to find a good doctor for you so that you can have the chance to leave me once your legs are cured, right?"

Now that Sharon's inner thoughts had been exposed, she initially felt anxious, but then gradually came to a realization. She truly had this plan. So what if he knew?

With hesitation, Sharon nodded her head and admitted, "If you don't want me to become a cripple, you better find a better doctor for me." Shawn certainly did not wish for Sharon to become a disabled person, so he found a doctor for her.

The doctors would come to check on her every day, and today was no exception.

It was said that this doctor was also an outstanding physician, the doctor that catered specially to the royal family of Tasnil. If it weren't for the general's sake, Sharon probably wouldn't get such good treatment. During his visits, the doctor brought a nurse, as well as a rehabilitation therapist, to help Sharon with half an hour's rehabilitation per day.

The process was very painful.

Yet, Sharon clenched her teeth and persevered.

However, her injury was too severe. When the doctor saw her wound, a look of surprise flitted across his eyes. Sharon thought to herself, that doctor must be curious about how she managed to survive. After jumping down from such a high cliff, Sharon was injured, but Shawn was fine.

God wasn't fair.

When the doctors went back to the general's residence, so happened that Shawn and the general were eating, thus the doctors had to wait outside.

"I'll ask the doctor about my wife." Shawn knew the language of Tasnil. He put down the knife in his hand and said to the general, "Enjoy your meal. I'll come back in a while to eat with you."

All this while, Shawn claimed to the public that Sharon was his wife, so the general was very welcoming to Sharon. After knowing about her leg injury, even without Shawn requesting, the general got the best doctor to help her.

The general knew Shawn was fond of his wife, so he laughed and didn't care about these formalities. He nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Then, Shawn went out and asked about Sharon's situation. The doctor answered him truthfully. Shawn finally felt at ease.

If the treatment continued, it wouldn't take more than two months for Sharon to be able to walk again.

What would she do then? How would she leave?

As he stood on the second floor, he stared into the horizon.

The general's residence came with a view of the sea and vast blue skies; the air was crisp and fresh, and the scenery was spectacular.

If Sharon didn't hate him, he would have brought her to the dinner party and she would definitely fall in love with the scenery here.

For the rest of her life, she would hate him, never forgiving him. Would she ever fall in love with him?

Had the last bit of affection she had for him completely disappeared?

As long as Shawn thought of these questions, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had forcibly ripped his heart out.

After silently smoking a cigarette, Shawn returned to the ballroom.

When the general saw him walk in, he waved at him. Shawn went over. The general pushed a box in front of him and motioned for him to open it.

With suspicion, Shawn opened it.

Inside the box was a small bottle with transparent liquid. Confused, Shawn looked at it and asked, "What's this?"

"Shawn, I think you love your wife, but your wife seems to dislike you." The general smiled. "My country produces a lot of medication, too. This is a gift from me to you, Shawn. Once you give this medicine to your wife thrice a day, she will be loyal to you."

Shawn was stunned.

"Good stuff," the general said in a low voice. "It's all thanks to these medicines that my several wives are so loyal to me."

Shawn's heart was pounding. He clenched the medicine in his hand and said with a smile, "Thanks a lot, General Kunba."

The general waved his hand with a smile and said, "You just need to help me achieve my goal and I will give you whatever you want in the future."

Shawn returned to his residence, and the people who looked after Sharon were locked outside. Those people speak a foreign language. They shouted something in their local language toward the door. Shawn was unpleased and immediately took out the spare key and opened the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned.

Sharon was still in his bedroom. She did not run away but instead supported herself against the wall and struggled to move a few steps as she practiced walking.

Shawn stood where he was and looked at her.

Hearing the sound door opening, Sharon turned her head and saw him breaking in. She was so angry that he pointed at him and scolded, "Don't you have any manners? Did I let you in, ugh..." As soon as she loosened her grip on the wall, she became unstable.

"Be careful!"

Shawn leaped forward to grab hold of her.

Sharon came to her senses and reached out to push him away, but was unable to do so.

"You know that struggling is useless." Shawn whispered in her ear, "So you'd better stop struggling."

Sharon reacted by giving a slap, which missed his face. Shawn stopped her hand halfway through and used a little strength to grip it, causing Sharon to break out in a cold sweat on her forehead due to the pain. She hissed and gasped, but she refused to say that she was in pain.

Shawn stared at her pale face for a while, but in the end, he softened his heart and let go of her.

Panting, Sharon fell into the wheelchair and looked at him.

Then, Shawn bent down and caressed her face. He gazed into her eyes for a moment, as if he was mumbling to himself but asking her at the same time, "You really don't love me, do you?"

Through clenched teeth, Sharon hissed out a sentence, "It's not possible even I die!"

Hearing this, Shawn's pupils contracted, and his mouth tightened into a thin line. After looking at her for a while, he turned around and left.

After passing through the door of the room, she said to the servants in a local language, "Go cook."

He held the bottle of medicine that General Kunba gave him tightly in his hand.

When desperate, one could resort to any possible solution.

The medicine was indeed effective. After drinking it thrice and getting the doctor to hypnotize her a few times, Sharon would completely fall in love with her.

But it also had side effects. The side effect was that Sharon would only have eyes for him, only obeying him, basically, she would be like an obedient zombie. She wouldn't have feelings, she would just act like a puppet.
