Sarah used to be like Sophia—she was once the precious princess greatly cherished by her father. However, she was thrown off her tower after her family broke apart, becoming an existence no better than an orphan. As a child, she had been forced to bear that large gap in treatment!
Harry held Sarah’s hand and placed it against his cheek as he looked at her and said seriously,
In response, she tearfully nodded in agreement.
It doesn’t matter who; we cannot lose anyone in our family. We have already lost our homes and our parents. Even so, we can now become proper parents. I’m going to be the world’s greatest father!
In these three days, he felt as if he had lost the entire world. He finally realized that losing Sean was like losing all the light in the world. His world was dark and gloomy—the birds did not sing, the flowers did not bloom, and delicious food tasted like wax in his mouth. It turned out that losing Sean was so painful. It felt as if somebody had grabbed his heart and cruelly cut out a piece before placing the bleeding heart back into his chest—he experienced a soul-crushing pain with every beat of his heart.
When he arrived at the hospital and saw Sarah, he felt at ease after seeing that she was recovering well. But, Sean…
Sitting in front of the window in Sarah’s hospital ward, he lowered his head without saying anything. Over the past few days, he seemed to have turned into a different person altogether—a stubble was growing on his lower jaw and his hair was a mess. He looked like a person who had his soul stolen from him. What’s the point of living in a world without Sean in it? I will never get used to a world without him. Even when Sarah spoke to him, he didn’t seem to hear her voice. In his daze, he heard somebody calling him from behind: “Stanley! Stupid Fletcher!”
Stiffly turning around, he saw that the door to the hospital ward opposite Sarah’s was wide open. Sophia was standing there while holding Judge’s leash as she beckoned him. “Stanley, come here! I have good news for you!”
Thus, he despondently stood up and walked over like a zombie. Upon entering the hospital ward on the opposite side, he saw that it was an individual room with only one bed in it. Somebody was lying on the bed with all sorts of medical equipment surrounding them. However, that person seemed to be in fairly good condition and was already able to sit up slightly. Michael was sitting next to the bed, feeding that person a liquid diet. Meanwhile, Carmen, Hope, and Nathan were sitting quietly by the side.
Upon seeing Stanley walking in, the person on the bed broke into a wide smile. Despite looking pale and weak—almost as if death could come knocking at any time—that person strived hard to say, “Stan, why haven’t you come to visit me before this?”
Stanley stared at that familiar face and froze in shock—he was frozen to the spot for more than 10 seconds. The two of them stared at each other, their gazes meeting in mid-air. One looked calm and happy while the other looked absolutely stunned.
Sean is still alive! With the help of the best surgeons in Bayside City, he managed to survive in the end. He looked at Stanley and tried hard to maintain control over his emotions. However, he couldn’t stop the faint trembling in his arms.
All of a sudden, Sophia dragged Stanley, who was stunned, out of the room and over to a corner. Then, she said to him, “Sean isn’t dead. He was wearing a bullet-proof vest which saved his life. I’ve been searching for you for the past few days, but I couldn’t get a hold of you. You didn’t answer your phone nor reply to your Messenger; the Fletchers couldn’t locate you either. That’s why you didn’t know.”
Meanwhile, Stanley was still in shock. He stood there in a daze as Sophia reprimanded him, staring blankly at her small mouth opening and closing without hearing a single word she said. His entire head was filled with only one thought: Sean is alive… He’s alive…
