Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 26

After sending the doctor away, Sharon pulled the man to sit down on the chair. "Have a rest. How do you feel? Are you thirsty? Let me fetch you some water."

She felt a tight grip around her wrist. The man pulled her and said in a soft and lazy voice, "It's okay. I'm fine."

Sharon nodded and said, "Then you take a break first."

The man leaned back on the chair and stretched his long legs. He looked at her with his head tilted and said with a smile, "Okay." "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, have I?" "Well, no." The man nodded honestly.

"Thank you for stepping in for me and helping me get my bag back. I'm sorry for putting you in the hospital," Sharon said sincerely.

The man looked at her with his head tilted, and his eyes were full of smiles. "Well, I've accepted your thanks and also your apology." Sharon thought the man had a nice personality, so she smiled and said, "I must have scared you in the taxi just now. I'm sorry, I didn't cry on purpose."

"If you did not do it on purpose, then why did you cry?"

"Uh, I have thought of some unhappy memories, so I couldn't control my emotions."

"What kind of unhappy memories?"

This man was quite curious.

Sharon gave it a thought and said, her head hanging low, "My father had a car accident before. When I rushed over, there was a lot of blood on the scene. Today, I suddenly saw you bleeding so much that it kind of scared me, and I thought of my father, so I couldn't control my emotions."

The man nodded in acknowledgment. "I see."

Sharon gave an affirmative hum and added as she thought of something, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The man sat up straight. His bewitching eyes were as deep as the sea, and his thin and sexy lips opened slightly as he said, "My name is Liam Frazier."

Sharon repeated his name quietly. "I'm Sharon Cruz."

The corners of Liam's mouth curled into an ambiguous smile. "Nice to meet you."

"He is so good-looking!" Sharon thought to herself.

"Especially when he smiles."

Sharon couldn't help feeling stunned as she stared at his handsome face.

Liam's facial features were extremely handsome. Although he tended to look a bit feminine, he was not sissy at all. In the midst of his toughness, there was a mixture of gentleness and a different kind of feminine charm. His look was so captivating that it was hard to look away as if they were enchanted by his beauty.

At the bar.

Generally speaking, Sharon would not come to such a high- spending place. However, since Melody suggested that she wanted to celebrate her getting a job and that she should indulge in a little extravagance, Sharon gave it a thought and agreed. After all, she would get a salary and make a lot of money soon. It should not be a big deal for her to be presumptuous once in a while.

After thinking about it, Sharon told Melody what happened during the day. Upon hearing her recap, Melody gave a thumbs-up and said, "There are still righteous heroes in this society nowadays. Awesome."

Sharon nodded. "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been injured. I still feel a little sorry."

Melody patted her on the shoulder. "You don't want any of this to happen either, so stop blaming yourself for it. When he gets better, you can invite him out for a dinner some day to express your gratitude."

"You're right."

"Have you called the police? What did the police do? Did they catch the thief?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sharon was stunned. "Uh, I did none of that."

Melody slapped her forehead. "Don't tell me you've forgotten?"

Sharon nodded shamefully. "I was so focused on getting the guy to the hospital and just hoping he was okay that I completely forgot about calling the police."

Melody sneered. "That's really a bargain for that damned thief. If I were there, I wouldn't have been a Graham if I didn't fracture his bones!"

This was not a joke! Sharon was glad that the thief had not met Melody, otherwise, he must have been in the hospital now.

With beer bottles piled up on the coffee table and so much liquid in her stomach, Sharon began to feel uncomfortable. "Melody, I'm going to pee. Enjoy yourself." She clasped her legs together and ran toward the restroom.

Melody was singing a love song wholeheartedly that she probably didn't hear Sharon at all. Sharon was in a hurry to go to the restroom but as soon as she was at the restroom, she found that it was being repaired.

Grimacing in agony, she pulled the waiter and asked, "Where is the nearest bathroom?"

The waiter raised his hand and pointed to the second floor. "You can use the one on the second floor, but..."

Sharon ran away.

"Hey, only the VIP customers can go to the second floor."

Sharon had already run out of sight.

When she came to the second floor, it was very quiet and secluded, and the environment was much better than that of the first floor. It took her a long time to locate the restroom as she was not familiar with the surroundings. When she finally sat on the toilet and released herself, she felt refreshed.

She pulled up her pants and was about to go out when there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"Stanley!"
