Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 427

However, Stanley was different. He silently accompanied and stood behind her. Although he might seem aloof, he would never take his eyes off her. The moment she fell, he was there to catch her; his reaction was faster than anyone else's.

When Shawn was observing, one thing was gradually making sense to him.

In the past, he felt that only he himself could take care of Sharon; he thought that he understood Sharon the best. But now, after observing them from far for the past few days, he felt that Stanley's love for Sharon wasn't any less than his love for her.

That man could take good care of her.

Should he... let go of her now?

When she was with him, she had been in so much pain. However, when she was with Stanley, she was genuinely happy.

Sharon, who was standing under the sun and laughing happily, looked lively and beautiful, and her eyes were full of life. She was not dull like she was when with Shawn, and she didn't have hatred in her eyes.

She hated Shawn so much.

In contrast, she loved Stanley very much.

Shawn smiled bitterly. "I know that you love Stanley very much. I did think about maybe I should let go of you and let you be together with him. But he pushed you to my side again. He put you in such a situation and almost let you die in the hands of Isai. Sharon, he can't protect you."

"No!" Sharon pushed him away. "I don't need him to protect me. I can protect myself!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the broken window glass of the car and thrust at Shawn without hesitation.

In the dark of the night, the sharp glass in her hand reflected the night light.

Shawn fell backward, and the glass in Sharon's hand slid past his neck. It was a near miss.

When Sharon saw that she hadn't succeeded, she immediately pushed open the car door, gritted her teeth, and jumped out of the door. The instant pain in her legs spread out from the joints. However, she endured it with all her might and ran away.

"Mr. Lewis!"

William, who was standing outside the car door, heard the noise.

"Don't worry. I'll chase after her." Shawn ran towards Sharon and caught up with her in a few large strides.

Sharon listened as the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. She even heard Shawn's voice. "Are you sure you want to continue running? I can chase you all day long, but can your legs stand it?"

It sounded like he was waiting to see her fail.

Despite that, Sharon ran forward desperately. Because of the pain, cold sweat broke out from her forehead.

"Why are you so disobedient?"

Shawn sighed and stretched out his long arm. With a swift move, he pulled Sharon. "Don't run away. Where are you going?"

Sharon forcefully shook off his hand, only to find that she couldn't get rid of it at all. He held it too tight.

She finally burst out. "Let me go! Are you crazy? Why are you doing this to me? Let me go, you b*stard!"

Shawn acted as if he hadn't heard anything. "Isai's men are right behind us. They might catch up soon. Are you sure you want to die? Is it worse to follow me than to die in Isai's hands?" "Yes! Even if I die in Isai's hands, I don't want to be with you!"

"Sharon, don't do this..." "Don't do what? Shawn, don't forget that the little bit of friendship between us has been destroyed by you! Now, as long as I see you, my father's appearance before he died will automatically flash across my mind. I will think of how heartless and ruthless you were to kill my father like an executioner... Shawn, you are a monster. I hate you!"

She completely erupted with power and shouted with all her might. She was as angry as a lioness.

Shawn's neck was severely scratched by her, and immediately there was a smell of blood in the air. Instantly, his face turned pale and his lips trembled. "Sharon..."

"Bam!"

The bullets flew over their heads and sounded the alarm.

With that, Shawn's expression changed dramatically and he grabbed Sharon's hand at once. "Let's go!"

As he ran forward, he roared, "William!"

As soon as William heard the gunshot, he also rushed over with his men. The opponent was obviously aggressive and fully prepared. The lethality of the opponent's weapons was much stronger than their pistols. After a few rounds of gunshots, Shawn and his team couldn't hold on any longer.

"Mr. Shawn, we don't have much bullets left. Let's go!"

"We can't drive the car. They shot the tires! We have no choice but to walk!"

"There is a forest ahead. If we don't want to be killed, we'd better hide inside!"

After the discussion between William and the other men, William and Shawn looked at each other. Shawn nodded and took them to hide in the forest.

The people behind them, however, had been chasing and attacking fiercely. They were determined to kill them here.

At this moment, Sharon felt her vision blurry, so she could only rely on the light from the stars and moon to show the way. Apart from her own heartbeat, she could not feel anything other things.

Her legs were numb and sore. Even though she couldn't feel any pain, she still kept going forward with difficulty.

If she didn't run, she would die.

But she didn't want to die. She wanted to go back to the children.

The words she said to Shawn were just out of spite. How could she want to die? She still had two children waiting for her to go back...

They were so cute and so beautiful. She was reluctant to die.

Sharon was like a walking corpse, but once she thought of her children, her body and mind came back to life. Her steps were hurried and fierce. Even when the tree branch violently whipped on her body, she did not feel much pain. She only wanted to stay away from those who wanted to kill her.

The group of people did not know how long they had been running. Finally, there was no movement behind them, so Shawn asked William to stop. Standing in the night, they tried listening to the movements around them. There was no sound except insects and birds.

Safe for the time being.

Shawn told them to rest on the spot.

Sharon, who had breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly sat down on the ground and took a few breaths before she regained her energy.

"Let me look at your legs."

Shawn squatted down in front of her.

Not saying a word, Sharon kept her legs tight and didn't want to be touched at all.

With a glance at her, Shawn then pulled her over by the ankles regardless of her petition. Placing his palms on her legs, he gently massaged them.

That technique was quite professional and Sharon actually felt better in her aching leg.

"You may have to spend the night in the forest tonight. Do you want to sleep?"

Shawn looked straight at her. His eyes were particularly bright in the night. Sharon lowered her gaze and said nothing.

"Still thinking about running away?" Shawn raised his eyebrows.

Only now did Sharon raise her head and look at him. "I won't run anymore."

"Oh, why?" He was a little surprised.

"It's dark. Where can I go? There're enemies behind. There's an unknown forest in front. If I run away from you guys, I'll be courting death."

That was why she did not run. She might be able to leave the place safely if she stayed by their side. If she was alone, with her combat abilities, she would end up dead in a matter of minutes. "Humph, at least you understand what's going on."

A sneer came from the corner.
