Chapter 368

368 Hesitation

“Damn it!” Caleb cursed himself ruthlessly. He originally wanted to ignore that crazy woman, Sharon, but for some weird reason he didn’t know, he actually ran back in.

He had searched almost every corner to confirm Sharon’s location. Unfortunately, even till the firefighters walked in, he couldn’t find any traces of the latter. In order not to expose his whereabouts, he could only retreat at the same time Wallace carried Sharon out.

If that girl knew that Wallace had saved her, she would probably be so happy that she would be speechless! Thinking of this, Caleb suddenly revealed a lonely expression. However, this only lasted for an instant before he quickly regained his composure and drove away without saying anything else.

As for Sharon, she felt as if she was immersed in a dream and couldn’t wake up no matter what.

The dream was filled with gray smoke. She walked in it and didn’t know where her end was. She seemed to be looking for something, but she couldn’t get any response.

In her daze, she seemed to have seen a figure that looked like Wallace rush over instantly, and she shouted, “Wallace!”

Then, Sharon suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in shock.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sharon! You’re finally awake!” Yumi hugged Sharon in surprise, and there were still some tears in her eyes.

Whitney-who had been sleeping by the bed-also woke up slowly. When she saw Sharon, she was obviously stunned, and tears then flowed down her face.

“Whitney, Yumi!” Sharon’s body was very heavy. She could feel that she was very tired, but she still asked nervously, “Wallace! Where’s Wallace? Did you see him?”

Perhaps it was her body’s instinctive reaction, but the first thing Sharon could think of was Wallace.

“He’s fine! I saw him with the woman from the ball.” Whitney comforted Sharon, touched the latter’s tightly furrowed forehead, and said in a comforting tone, “Why are you so worried? Do you know that you’ve inhaled a lot of carbon monoxide? If the firefighters hadn’t saved you in time, you would’ve become a fool or a vegetable.”

Sharon smiled apologetically and shook her head lightly. “I’m fine. Don’t worry too much.”

Then, Sharon slowly lay down. Her heart was filled with Whitney’s words: “The fireman saved her.”

However, I clearly remembered hearing Wallace’s voice in the fire. Why isn’t he at the scene now? Was everything just my imagination? Thinking of this, Sharon slowly closed her eyes. She really was too tired.

“I’ll go tell the doctor that you’re awake,” Whitney said as she dragged Yumi out the door.

The moment the two of them went out, they saw Wallace sitting on the chair with a dejected expression. He seemed to have fallen into guilt and didn’t know how to face Sharon.

“Don’t you want to visit her?” Whitney’s voice turned cold.

Only then did Wallace slowly stand up. He couldn’t bear to look into the ward, so he said with a helpless and bitter tone, “I don’t know how to explain it to her, but I hope she believes me. There’s nothing between Crystal and me... Besides, I didn’t expect her to be at the scene either. She even rushed back into the fire to save me...”

“What’s the point of telling us? You should explain to Sharon why you’re dancing so intimately with another woman.” Although Whitney didn’t know much about the things this b*stard had done, she had frantically investigated him after she had met him.

Although this man had many scandals, none of them were true. Hence, Whitney didn’t dare to make any judgment.

There was a hint of sadness in Wallace’s eyes. I had clearly promised Sharon that I wouldn’t make her sad again. I have a reason for accompanying Crystal, but I don’t know if Sharon will listen to my explanation calmly or if she will treat my explanation as a lie.

“Don’t worry. Sharon will definitely understand you. She just asked us about your situation, so instead of thinking so much, why don’t you hurry up and see how she is? She has already woken up.” Yumi noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and quickly spoke, wanting to ease the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Wallace was a little nervous. I haven’t thought about how to tell Sharon at all, so I have to wait for this matter to be settled. After the company’s listing is settled and after I find out more about how Xenia had harmed Sharon’s eyes, I will explain it to her properly.
