Hunger woke Sharon up in the latter half of the night.She hadn't eaten anything besides the medicine
since she came back with Jameson after the meeting.She got up and found that Jameson was not on
the bed.
Sharon put on a random shirt of his and then stumbled out of the room to find Jameson working on his
laptop in the living room.
Sharon struggled to keep her eyes open under the sudden brightness.
"Why are you still awake?"
"I still need to finish some work" Jameson said as he turned to her.
"How come you're up?"
Sharon rubbed her belly, replying frankly, "Hungry.”
"I ordered something.Check if it's still warm.If it's not, just order more"
Sharon saw the dining cart by the door.She immediately walked over and removed the lid.
"It's still warm."
Sharon served the plates on the dining table and was just about to get Jameson over.
But he had already moved next to her and put out a hand to feel her forehead.
"Feeling better?"
"Still the same."
"Take medicine one more time after the meal."
Sharon nodded as she sat herself down for food.
"Is it still raining?" asked Sharon halfway through the meal.
Jameson confirmed.
"So it will be delayed" said Sharon again.
"Yeah, but we can go back in the afternoon at the latest."
Sharon contemplated for a while and then spoke up, "Well, if you're really busy, I can go back by
myself."
Jameson lifted his head to look at her, "You were so clingy in the morning.Now you're suddenly all
cool?"
".....”
Sharon was too weak to argue, "Eat your food!"
She lay back down on the bed after eating.
Jameson sat by her, asking softly, "Still not feeling well?"
"Nah, just sleepy."
"Then sleep" said Jameson.
"We'll head back tomorrow"
"Just go to work.You don't have to teach me how to sleep."
Jameson lifted the quilt and got under it.
"It's ok.I'll leave it for tomorrow.I know you can't fall asleep without me."
What a shameless man! Jameson turned off the lights and held her in the arms.
"If you're still sick in the morning, let's go to the hospital."
Sharon closed her eyes, "We'll see."
She felt Jameson patting her on the back gently.
And for some reason, a weird emotion overwhelmed her.She spoke up without warning, "Jameson
Proctor."
"Yes?" the man answered in his low voice in the dark.
"Are you hiding anything from me?"
Jameson didn't hesitate at all as he calmly replied, "Why? All of a sudden."
"Nothing.I just want to make sure" said Sharon, "If it's not your problem, then it's mine"
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing."
Maybe she ought to see a therapist after returning home.So she thought.
A few seconds later, Jameson went on speaking, "You're under a lot of pressure these days.Now that
the matter with the Beale Family is over, and you've done what you should've done.Just leave
everything else to me."
"I know."
Sharon moved her body to hug him and said in a calm voice, "I really wish to believe you right now,
which is why I will doubt you no more after your reassurance.But, if one day I find out that you're lying
to me, that will be the end of us, and we will never..."
Her lips were sealed before she could finish her sentence.
"Are you not sleepy?" said Jameson.
"Are you feeling guilty?"
Sharon met his eyes.
Jameson lightly pursed his lips and fell into thought.
After a long while, he finally admitted, "I do have something that I haven't told you.But it's not up to me."
Sharon frowned upon hearing this.
So she was right? Jameson continued, "All I can tell you now is Daniel has a background.He has
connections with the Beales.But he doesn't seem to want you to know the truth.I cannot make the
decision for him."
Sharon was stunned for a second.
"So this is what you're hiding?"
"What else?"
This was not what she was thinking.
"You know, sometimes, it's not that I don't want to tell you; it's just that it might not be a good idea for
you to know certain things."
"But...I have the right to know the things related to me."
"People have their reasons for staying silent.But you will know all the truths one day.It's just a matter of
time"
Sharon opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to object to him.
Jameson put his arms around her.
"Just let it go, for now, Sharon.Anyway, they cannot harm you anymore"
Sharon didn't know what else to say.
Daniel had been helping her throughout the series of events with the Beales.
In the beginning, she thought that it was because of the common enemy they had.
But later, she found that their primary focus had always been to protect her.
Daniel even moved next to the studio for that reason.
She had always suspected Patrick Matthias to be the man in charge.
But it was still just a theory without proof.
But it had become more evident now as there were only these few people who, since the start of
everything, were actually involved in the matters with the Beales.
Mr.Jones had definitely known the truth of Talon and Tavis Beale from the beginning.
Patrick and Daniel both knew Jones.
It was Patrick that had stopped Tavis Beale that day as well.
So, her theory must be correct.
But who exactly was Patrick Matthias? Seeing that Sharon was deep in thought and her attention was
no longer on the subject they had discussed, he spoke up slowly, "So, don't say these words So
casually"
"Fine.”
When Sharon opened her eyes again, it was already noon.It was sunshine after rain outside, so bright
that she couldn't keep her eyes open.She stretched a little and then left the bedroom to find Jameson
on a call.
Based on what she could hear, the demolition would set off on time, which meant today.
She got herself some water in the dining room and then took a long slow breath.
It was probably due to the sleep that she no longer felt the same heaviness on her mind as yesterday.
Having finished the call, Jameson came over, "It sets off at 3.We'll take the plane at 5 back to South
City.Does that sound good to you?"
Sharon nodded, "Ok."
"Change.I'll take you somewhere"
Sharon became alert, "Not the Matchmaker Temple, right?"
Jameson laughed softly, "Not unless you want to go there."
"Nope, thanks"
Having seen all those colorful photos symbolizing "happy ever after", she would not want to step into
that temple ever again.
