Chapter 303
Chapter 303
The first thing Stanley remembered right after opening his eyes was that everything in front of him went black and he was about to fall...
At the thought of that, he frowned, trying to sit up, but he was extremely weak as he fell again with a grunt.
"Dad, are you in pain?" Immediately, Sadie's nervous voice could be heard.
When Stanley turned his head, he saw Sadie was lying beside him, looking anxiously at him with a pair of huge eyes. Then, she shouted, "Mom, Dad is awake! Come in!"
When Sharon, who was outside the door, heard the noise, she ran over in a hurry.
Looking up, Stanley saw Sharon rushed into the bedroom. When she met his dark eyes, she stopped suddenly.
Her nervous expression, half-opened red lips, and her moving breasts made him feel hot all of a sudden.
At the same time, his Adam's apple moved as his black eyes fixed on Sharon, looking at her nervousness and worry that flashed across her face.
Meanwhile, Sharon stood where she was and took a few deep breaths. When she came to her senses, she immediately scolded herself for not restraining herself earlier. With that, she felt really embarrassed for showing him that she was worrying about him by rushing over when he woke up.
"Ahem." So, she cleared her throat before slowly walked toward Stanley. Then, she took Sadie away from the bed and glanced at him, who was on the bed, asking, "Mr. Jones, you're awake?"
Hearing that, Stanley looked at Sharon, "What's wrong with me?"
He asked with a hint of hoarseness and sexiness in his voice as he had just woken up.
The next second, Sadie couldn't help but answered in a hurry before Sharon could speak, "Dad, you passed out. Uncle Howard is a doctor, so after he examined you, he said that you caught a cold and need to take medicine like me..."
With her childish voice, Sadie explained the reason he fainted to him in an orderly manner.
In fact, as soon as Stanley arrived in Beachmarsh City, he had already caught a cold. So, he had initially planned to go to the hospital for a checkup today. However, before he was able to do so, he met the Cruz Family and some other people who claimed to know him before he lost his memory.
Usually, he would always endure his illness alone. Therefore, he did not think that it was a big deal as he somehow did not feel unwell. It was not until he was about to go out of Sharon's house just now that he fainted.
A little while ago, after Howard examined Stanley, he found out that he had a high fever of 40 degrees. Any ordinary person who had the same condition as him would have already been admitted into the hospital. However, much to Howard's surprise, Stanley was able to chat with him for a long time. It was only until his body sent out a high fever signal that Stanley had finally passed out.
"For your convenience, Howard has asked someone to bring the medicine to my house before you were put on a drip." Seeing that Stanley kept staring at her without saying a word, Sharon gave him the medicine placed near the bedside before she added, "Since you are up now, you should take one tablet of the medicine. Here is the thermometer for you to measure your body temperature. If the fever hasn't subsided, you will have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Upon hearing that, Stanley glanced at Sharon without saying anything. He then reached out his hand to take the thermometer from her hand before placing it in his armpit.
"Is this your bed?" With a hoarse voice due to the fever, he asked casually, trying to initiate a conversation.
Hearing what he asked, Sharon suddenly found it funny because right in front of her was a tall and strong man lying on a bed that was pink in color.
Actually, pink was not Sharon's favorite color; it was her daughter who liked it, therefore the bedsheets, the tiny tables and even the chairs in the room were all pink.
"You can sleep in this room tonight. I'll take the kids to sleep in the next room." Sharon thought he was asking where he was sleeping tonight.
Hearing her explanation, Stanley glanced at her, enjoying the scent of the bed surrounded her at the same time. In addition to the baby's milky scent, there was also a faint scent, which was the same as the scent on her body.
At first, he looked at her and wanted to tell her he didn't need to stay overnight. But just when he was about to refuse her, he suddenly felt lazy as he was lying on a fragrant and soft bed that he was not willing to get out of it.
It was just one night. It wouldn't be a big deal to stay over tonight.
So, at the thought of this, he nodded and said, "Alright. I'll stay over tonight."
Seeing him agree, Sharon waved her hand before bringing Sadie out of the room.
After that, Stanley lay on the bed for a while before taking out the thermometer to measure his body temperature again. It was 39 degrees, meaning he was still having a fever even though he was much more energetic than just now. With that, he put aside the thermometer, then he got up to give his assistant a phone call.
When the assistant was told that Stanley would not go home tonight, he replied ambiguously over the phone, "Okay, Mr. Warner, I wish you have a good time. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about tonight's incident."
Unsurprisingly, the assistant's words had gotten on Stanley's nerves. So, Stanley asked, "Any updates on the matter I instructed you to do?"
Knowing that he was anxious to find out the result of the report, the assistant patted his own chest and said confidently, "I've sent them to the lab and the results will be released tomorrow. So, don't worry, Mr. Warner."
It was only then that Stanley hung up the phone in satisfaction.
Outside the bedroom.
The two children sat in rows and looked at Sharon who was busy in the kitchen. Although they were very hungry right now, they waited for her obediently.
"I'm preparing the soup and I'm almost done. Darling, please wait for a while." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Sharon was a little hectic right now. When Stanley suddenly fainted just now, everyone was in chaos. At that time, she was shocked that she thought that something bad had happened to Stanley. Luckily, Howard and Jimmy were there to help her out for a long while.
Because of that, she could only prepare the dinner now, making her feel sorry for her children.
Not long after, when everything was finally done, Sharon's forehead was already covered in sweat. Seeing that, Seamus took out a piece of napkin to dry his mother's forehead. Sharon looked at him with a smile, "Let's have dinner together."
While they were eating, the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened, and in the next second, a slightly hoarse male voice sounded, "What are you guys eating?"
It smelled really good.
He could even smell the food in the room.
In astonishment, Sharon looked at Stanley who looked rather pale and was standing behind them.
Meanwhile, Sadie happily waved the spoon in her hand and said, "Dad, these dishes cooked by Mom are delicious. Come over quickly and have a meal with us!"
With a pair of smiling eyes, Stanley glanced at Sharon who was staring at him. "Can I?"
"Ahem." Sharon quickly cleared her throat and hurriedly averted her gaze from him. At this moment, her heart was beating very fast. "You can have a seat here."
Hearing that, Stanley slowly walked toward the dining table. Immediately, Sharon stood up and went to the kitchen to get his tableware.
Everyone at the table except Sadie was silent. She was the only person who talked continuously even when she was eating. Not only that, with a pair of huge grape-like eyes, she stared blankly at Stanley.
Seeing her cute face, Stanley rubbed her nose and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sadie's mouth was puffed up when she spoke. "Dad, you're even better looking than Seamus."
Sadie's sudden compliment immediately made Stanley and Seamus silent.
Without warning, Sharon burst into laughter. Seeing the puzzled look on Stanley's face, she then explained, "Sadie always said that Seamus is the most handsome person in the world that no one
else is comparable to him. But now she suddenly said that you're even more handsome than Seamus. How can she change her mind so quickly?"
Upon hearing that, Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Who gave them their names?"
"It was me." Sharon glanced at him. "What's wrong?"
"Ahem." Stanley lowered his head and coughed with one hand placed against his lips. "Nothing."
