Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)

However, there was no one in the ward.

Howard came to the nurse station and the nurse who had been in charge of that ward said, "Oh, you mean Mr. Bradbury? He had left already. Don't you know that, Mr. Perkins?"

Howard was taken aback.

Of course, he did not know that. It wasn't like they were close, and he only paid attention to that Mr. Bradbury because they looked alike.

"Uh, but he should have left his contact number here when he was just admitted, right? Could you give me his number? I have something urgent to discuss with him."

"I'm afraid I can't do that. But I could ask our head nurse about his condition."

"Sure, I'll wait you here. Thanks."

The young nurse left, and Howard waited in place. Soon, she came back with the head nurse.

The head nurse told him, "Mr. Perkins, I'm not very clear about Mr. Bradbury's condition and what illness he got admitted for because it was our director who brought him in."

With a frown, Howard questioned, "What do you mean by that? Don't you have his contact number?"

"No, I'm afraid his information wasn't registered on the computer. We only know that his surname is Bradbury and that he stayed in that ward. Sometimes, he stayed in his ward for days without coming out. However, when he came out occasionally, we were told by our director to leave him alone."

"So what you're saying is that a patient like Mr. Bradbury is free to leave the hospital as he likes?"

Immediately, the head nurse became a little embarrassed.

Nevertheless, Howard had no choice but to leave since he couldn't find out any information on Mr. Bradbury.

On the other side, Morgan got the driver for Elaine and she asked the driver to pick up Paul.

Ruben was very surprised to see the driver coming along and asked, "Wow. Did you manage to convince Vincent to get you a driver?"

With his understanding of Vincent, he had assumed that Vincent would never let Elaine go...

Strange.

However, Elaine wasn't bothered to answer him as she dragged Paul into the car.

"Mister, we may leave now," she said to the driver.

The driver had received Morgan's order earlier, so naturally, he would listen to her.

After the car had driven away, only then did Ruben leave.

Getting into the city center, Elaine asked the driver to drop them off at a mall. "Mister, my brother and I need to go in to buy something. Could you wait for us here? We'll be back quick." "Sure, Miss Jacob," the driver said with a patient smile.

Getting the driver's reply, Elaine took Paul out of the car.

Entering the shopping mall, Paul finally shook off her hand unhappily. "Sis, why are we coming to the mall again?"

However, Elaine just turned to look at the back, making sure that the driver did not follow them. "Let's leave from the side door."

"Huh? Why?"

"We can't let the driver follow us anymore."

Instantly, Paul understood why she had asked to come here. It turned out that she wanted to get rid of the driver.

But he didn't know why. "Aren't we going back to the villa?"

Elaine suddenly stopped and glared at him. "The villa? Do you want to be locked up again? I'm telling you, I'm only taking you with me because you're my brother!" "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry at me..."

Hearing that, Elaine sneered. "Huh? Why am I angry? Because you tried to steal stuff from Dr. Perkins's apartment! Paul, you get us into this, remember?"

Frightened, Paul did not expect that she would suddenly lose her temper.

Of course, Elaine was frustrated and she lost hope for her brother ever since he and Allen broke into Dr. Perkins's house, not to mention that he was even too timid to help her. Although he was being heartless to her, she could not watch him die.

Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Paul, just get a bus and leave Beachmarsh City now."

Paul was slightly anxious. "Sis, please don't get angry at me..."

Nevertheless, Elaine just shook off his hand with a poker face, saying, "Just go."

At the bus station-

Upon seeing Paul off, Elaine was just about to leave but then she was called by his brother. "Sis!" "Is there anything else?" She frowned.

"Oh. Uh... Will Allen be fine?" Paul asked with concern. "Why don't you plead with Mr. Bradbury for him. After all, Allen is still your fiance..." "Duh, mind your own business."

She didn't bother to talk with him anymore. "Anyway, be careful on the way back. Text me when you arrive."

"Sure."

Looking at the bus leaving, Elaine was finally relieved.

Back then, Allen almost raped her, so of course, she wouldn't care to know if he was still alive or not, not to mention to plead for him.

Perhaps her family, including Paul, did not think much of her now because she had been too stupid in the past few years.

Thinking about that, Elaine sneered. Then, she took a deep breath and hailed a cab to head to the bank.

She had a debit card that had some deposit on it and she had given it to her family upon telling them the passcode, so that they could withdraw money from it whenever they need. And her monthly salary was transferred to that card.

Arriving at the bank, she reported the card as lost with her ID card before getting a new one. Then, she transferred all the money in the old card to the new one.

Upon completing that, she headed to Howard's apartment.

She had some belongings left at Howard's place, though they weren't valuable items. Besides, she still needed to pack some change of clothes. She would leave the city after that.

As soon as she returned to the apartment and unlocked the door, a man appeared in front of her with a sullen face.

Seeing that the man looked exactly like Howard, she subconsciously turned around to escape.

She didn't expect that Vincent would wait for her here!

Did she walk right into his trap?

Entering the elevator, she saw Vincent coming behind her in large strides.

She was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah-" "Oh, shut up! Why are you screaming?"

"Don't come over me. Help-"

Saying that, she kicked him in the groinal area. The man was caught unguarded and got hit squarely. With an "ouch", he knelt down in pain. Skipping over him, Elain wanted to take the stairs.

Suddenly, her ankle was gripped by him and she was pulled onto the ground.

"Elaine, are you crazy? D*mn it! You could have gotten me becoming infertile!"

The man roared in exasperation. But hearing his voice, Elaine was surprised. "Dr. Perkins... is that you?"

With a sneer, Howard rebuked, "Who are you expecting then? Why do you look scared though..."

"Dr. Perkins!"

Without warning, she threw herself into his arms, crying, "You scared me just now! I thought it was... Anyway, I'm glad it's you!"
