Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 220

"Yes," Stanley answered faintly.

"I'm getting more confused about Liam. What on earth is he actually thinking?" Jimmy rubbed his chin. "If you say that he doesn't like Rebecca, but he also won't just stand by and do nothing. On the other hand, if you're saying that he likes her, yet again, anyone can tell that he doesn't seem to like Rebecca..."

Stanley ignored him.

Looking at Stanley again. "What about you? Are you really not in love with Rebecca anymore?"

"I never loved her."

"No way."

"We're here." At this time, Oscar said, pointing to a small shed not far away, "Miss Lambert is inside. There are two people watching over her. I was waiting for Mr. Isai Jones's order on how to deal with her."

With that, Jimmy raised his hand, and a small squad immediately went into the small shed.

Rooted to the spot without moving, Stanley did not go over. Suddenly he asked, "Seven years ago, Rebecca's death overseas, was it done by you as well?"

Since Oscar had accepted his fate, he nodded, "Yes."

"For this past seven years, she had been under your surveillance?"

Frowning, Oscar shook his head, "Of course not. Seven years ago, I sent Miss Lambert out of the country and gave her a large sum of money. Then, she was free to go. All I did was just preventing

her from returning to this country, and not allowing her to find you."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Stanley asked, "So, you haven't come into contact with her for the past seven years?"

"In the first half of the year, I was afraid that she would want to go back, so I kept a close eye on her. Later, I saw that she had accepted reality. She lived alone abroad, so I seldom contacted her."

Misunderstanding the meaning of Stanley's question, Oscar thought that he still held a grudge for the past seven years. He hurriedly said, "Please don't blame Mr. Isai Jones for doing this. He was only doing this for your sake. Miss Lambert's background isn't even worthy of the Jones Family."

Sneering, Stanley said, "It's not up to the two of you to decide whether she was worthy or not. It's up to me to decide."

"But you are the eldest son of the Jones Family!"

"Oscar, are you really confused, or are you pretending to be? After I had reached the age of 18, did I spend a penny from the Jones Family? Did I enjoy any treatment of being the eldest son of the Jones Family even for a day? Haven't you already noticed that for the past few years? Other than sharing the Jones Family surname, do I have anything related to them?" Stanley's voice was low. "I have already left the Jones Family. Next time, you should think twice before touching my people. Bear that in mind, and lastly, don't test my anger. Otherwise, as Liam said, I will not hold back as well."

Hearing that, Oscar's body shuddered. He looked at him in disbelief. His lips trembled, seemingly he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not say a word.

"Do help me send these words to the old man, and without missing a word." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

After that, Stanley strode away.

Oscar's face turned pale.

Before he got close, Jimmy's voice came from far away, "Stanley, come here quickly!"

There was anxiety in his voice. Stanley frowned and immediately went over. As soon as he approached, he heard Jimmy calling an ambulance.

"Rebecca committed suicide!"

Jimmy hung up the phone, and looked at the person behind him. "She had cut her wrist!"

With that, Stanley's expression changed.

When Liam heard the words from afar, his heart trembled. It was as if he had been severely hit by a hammer, and his mind was buzzing. His footsteps were heavy, like there was an iron ball dragging his feet. Step by step, he walked to the small shed and saw the woman lying on the ground. Seeing her white dress and black hair, as well as a pool of blood on her wrist like a blooming blood-red flower.

In the villa, Sharon sat on the sofa. After a while, she could not help but look outside. The entrance was as quiet, and there was no movement at all.

Stanley had not returned yet.

And the sky was getting darker by the minute.

The sentence that he had said before leaving was still ringing in Sharon's ears. Because of that, Sharon impatiently waited for him to return, as she wanted to tell him that she also loved him...

However, she had been waiting and waiting. After all this time, not only did he not return, but he did not even make a single call.

Promising that he would be back before 10 o'clock, and he even asked her to wait obediently. Stanley said that he would come back to accompany her.

Raising her head to look at the time, It was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Coming out of the kitchen, Hazel saw that Sharon was sitting on the sofa with a remote control in her hand. Seeing that she was motionless, Hazel was a little worried and said, "Mrs. Jones, it's time to have dinner."

"I'm not hungry."

"You should eat some even if you're not hungry." Hazel came over to persuade her.

To be honest, Sharon was not hungry. Since she had not gone anywhere for the whole day. All she did was wait for him at home. Seeing that it was getting dark, and the person had not returned, she had no appetite.

Knowing what was on Sharon's mind, Hazel sighed, "Since you are so worried about him, why don't you give him a call?"

"I won't call him. He said that he would be back."

"But..."

"I believe him. He said that he would return at

10 o'clock, so he will definitely come back."

Since she said so, Hazel did not say anything in return. All she could do was to wait with her.

In the hospital.

After a few hours of operation, the commotion had finally settled down. Rebecca was wheeled out of the operating room by a nurse. She lay there with her eyes closed as if her soul had left her.

"The operation went well, since the patient was delivered in time. She was lucky to have survived."

The nurse pushed her into the ward and told them the things that they needed to pay attention to. Anthony wrote it down to show that he understood.

After the nurse left, Anthony looked at the man at the end of the bed. "Mr. Jones, Miss Lambert is fine."

Nodding his head, Stanley turned around, and sat down on a chair that was in the corner. "I'm waiting for her to wake up."

"Mr. Jones, you haven't had dinner yet. I'm going to buy some dinner." Anthony said as he was going out.

"There's no need." Stanley sat there with his eyes closed. He said indifferently, "I'm not hungry."

Thus, Anthony had no choice but to stand and wait with him.

An hour later, Rebecca had finally woken up on the hospital bed. Stanley stood up and went over. When Rebecca opened her eyes and saw that it was him, she smiled and said, "I knew you would find me."

Stanley looked at her and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"That's good." Stanley patted her hand. "Have a good rest."

Then, Rebecca grabbed his hand and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Nodding, Stanley said, "Yes. I've been in the hospital for several hours. It's time to go back and accompany my wife."

Seeing that his eyes were filled with excitement as well as tenderness. Rebecca suddenly sat up from the bed and pulled his wrist. "I won't let you go!"

Immediately, Stanley's expression turned cold. "Rebecca, don't do something that makes me unhappy."

Gasping for breath, Rebecca's chest was heaving. "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. But before that, I have something to tell you."

Raising her head, Rebecca looked at him for a moment. She opened her pale and bloodless lips and slowly uttered a sentence.

Anthony's eyes were wide opened, as he was in the ward listening. He could not believe it.

Outside the ward, Liam, who had just arrived, heard the voice of the woman inside. His expression froze for a moment, and his eyes slowly narrowed. With that, his face darkened.
