Chapter 239
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside the door. It sounded like a person falling to the ground.
Startled by the sound, Sharon thought to herself that it could be...
Impossible, how could Stanley fall down?
Since he had a healthy body, and the man was not weak.
Undoubtedly, he must have made a noise on purpose to lure her out.
Well, she would not fall for his trick.
With that, Sharon did not move.
"Let me see what's going on..." Linda went to open the door with excitement. Just as she opened the door, she let out a scream, "Hey, what's wrong Sir? Why are you lying on the ground? Sharon, come quickly, your relative has fainted!"
Sharon paused.
Was he exhausted from having too much fun?
Frowning, Sharon walked over. Still in doubt, that Stanley, who was a bit of a clean freak, would fall to the ground.
As soon as she reached the door, she was stunned.
It was true. Stanley had really fallen to the ground with his face down. Seeing that, Sharon was dumbfounded. Pushing Linda away, she went to touch Stanley. "Hey, stop with your tricks. This joke is not funny at all. Get up!"
No matter how hard she pushed him, Stanley would not budge.
Only then, Sharon became anxious. "Stanley, don't scare me!"
At this time, Melody ran over to help her and comforted, "Don't worry. Call the hospital first."
The two of them worked together to flip over the man lying on the ground. Instantly, Sharon saw the blood on Stanley's chest, and her hands began to tremble. "Blood..."
How could there be blood?
Seeing it too, Melody immediately became worried. "I... I'll call Marshall..."
Within minutes, Marshall had arrived. The strength of a man was greater than that of a woman. He took off his jacket and carried Stanley on his back. Then, he quickly descended the stairs and said, "Melody, bring
Sharon with you."
"Okay, please slow down."
Pulling Sharon, who was somewhat dazed, down the stairs, Melody said, "Sharon, it's going to be fine."
Still, Sharon was stupefied. She did not understand why the man who was still fine a few seconds ago, would just abruptly faint. Moreover, there was still blood on his body. What was going on?
There was no time for her to overthink, as Melody had already pulled her down the stairs.
It was only when she was in the car that she came back to her senses. Looking at Stanley, who was silently leaning there without a sound, and with no trace of blood in his face. Sharon was a little scared, afraid that he would unexpectedly die.
Never had she seen him so weak. Even the last time when he was beaten up by Harvey, he was full of vim and vigor the following day. Seeing that Sharon was worried, Melody kept comforting her.
Sniffling, Sharon said, "I'm fine. Melody, please ask the driver to speed up." Then, she thought of something, and quickly searched for her phone. "Where's my phone?"
Did I leave it in the dormitory?
Grabbing her hand, Melody said, "The phone is in your hands."
As she was too worried, her mind had gone blank for a moment.
Taking in a deep breath, Sharon found Anthony's phone number. This time, he answered it very quickly, "Hello, Mrs. Jones... I can explain why I did not answer your call a few days ago..."
"Charles!" Sharon was not in the mood to hear his explanation. "Stan... Stanley is in trouble. Come to the hospital right now."
Hearing that, Anthony was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Jones is in trouble?"
"Well, he passed out, and there's blood on his body. A lot of blood, it's scary..."
Saying it in a panic, Sharon did not even notice the fear in her voice. "What... What's wrong with him?"
Immediately, Anthony's voice became nervous. "It's okay. He is going to be fine. Are you with him now?"
"Yes, lam."
"First, find someone to help you out. Then, send Mr. Jones to the hospital. I'll rush over right away..."
"We are already in the car."
"Great. I'll leave now, and contact the hospital to let the doctors get ready. Mrs. Jones, don't worry, Mr. Jones is going to be fine."
Under his continuous comfort, Sharon's nervous heart gradually relaxed a little.
Yes, it's going to be alright.
In a situation where everyone else would die, he would still be alive.
Thinking up to this point, Sharon's heart settled down. Grabbing Stanley's hand tightly, she pursed up the corners of her mouth, and stared at him without moving.
In the hospital.
When Anthony arrived, Sharon was sitting on a bench in the corridor. Patiently waiting for the people in the operating room.
"Mrs. Jones."
Hearing his voice, Sharon stood up.
"Is Mr. Jones inside?"
Sharon nodded. "Upon our arrival, the doctors were already waiting for us. Right now, they're undergoing surgery."
Hearing that, Anthony let out a sigh of relief.
"That's great."
Frowning, Sharon asked, "What's going on? Why did he suddenly faint? And... The blood?"
"Uh, he had not told you?"
"He went to the school to look for me, but he did not say anything."
"Then... Then you should wait for him to come out of the operating room. If you want to know anything, you can ask him directly."
"..."
As expected, he was a dutiful assistant. Any news about Mr. Jones should not be told to outsiders, Sharon was no exception.
Understanding his duties, Sharon knew that he was not the one to blame. Sharon sat down on the bench in silence.
Looking at her, Anthony was a little worried.
"Are you angry?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Shaking her head, Sharon replied, "No."
"Are you sure, you're not?"
"Nope."
"Really sure that you're not angry?"
Speechless, Sharon raised her eyes. "Now, I'm really angry."
I want you to tell me what's going on with him. Even if it's not the complete truth." Sharon pursed her lips. After a long while, she said, "The way he is right now... I'm very worried..."
With a sigh, Anthony said, "Well, even if Mr. Jones will be mad with me when he wakes up, I don't care. Mrs. Jones, was shot a week ago."
Hearing that, Sharon promptly stood up from the bench. With wide- eyes, and in a disbelieving manner, "What did you say? A gunshot?"
"Yes."
"What happened?"
"When the boss and Mr. King were abroad, they were attacked and Mr. Jones got shot. A week ago, he was on the verge of death."
Listening to his words, Sharon's mind was buzzing with all sorts of thoughts.
Hence, her hands and feet were a little weak, and her body swayed a little.
Anthony immediately held her. "Are you all right?"
Leaning against the wall, Sharon slowly sat down, and she shook her head: "I'm... I'm fine."
Though she said she was fine, her face was as pale as a ghost. Her complexion was no better than the person in the operating room.
After a long time, Sharon finally recovered. Moving her lips, she asked, "What was going on?"
"Mr. Jones got reliable news that Harvey was abroad, so he secretly took action. Together, he asked Mr. King to go abroad with him. He intended to capture Harvey and bring him back to the country."
"So for the past few days that he disappeared, he had always been abroad?"
"Yes."
Yet, Sharon had a lot of questions to ask. At this time, the door of the operating room was opened.
