Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 30: Sharon’s Heart Beat Wildly

Sharon told Leonard everything that just happened but left the part with Shirley out. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, she did not want to cause a rift between them if they get married in the future.

Sharon had felt crushed after hearing Puvis's orders. Leonard, however, seemed indifferent to it. He

merely threw out a word as a response. "Impossible."

Sharon stayed in the hospital for six days. She was afraid that the wound would be infected, so she

had not taken a bath at all.

Although a nurse wiped her body down every day, Sharon still felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she would be discharged from the hospital the next day.

During her entire stay in the hospital, Leonard personally brought her healthy food three times a day. At

night, he would even stay to accompany Sharon.

Today, however, Leonard had not appeared at all. But he still sent someone to send the food over as

usual.

At nearly 10 p.m.

Sharon was lying on the bed. No matter how hard she tried, she could not make herself fall asleep.

In the end, she gave up. She stared at the door eagerly until her eyes were dry, but still, Leonard did

not appear.

It was almost midnight when Sharon started to panic.

She placed a hand over her heart that was beating wildly. Blinking a few times, she suddenly lifted the

quilt on her body and got out of the bed.

......

At the Coral Pavillion.

A taxi stopped in front of the beautifully carved iron gates. The driver looked at the slender girl wearing

a hospital gown through the rearview mirror and said, "This is a private villa. We can't enter."

"Please give me a moment," Sharon said.

Then, she pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked towards the guardhouse.

In the guardhouse, two security guards saw Sharon on the monitor screen and were shocked. They

exchanged a brief look and rushed out.

Sharon was surprised to see someone before even reaching the guardhouse. She then told the two

men, "Please open the gates."

"Y-Yes, miss!" One of the guards stammered and ran into the guardhouse to open the gates.

Sharon nodded to the other guard, turned around, and quickly walked back to the taxi. She got in and

told the driver, "You can drive now."

The driver couldn't help but throw Sharon another glance. He thought, "She must be the kid of a

nouveau riche."

The taxi drove in and stopped by the doors.

Sharon did not have any money on her, so she asked the driver to wait outside.

She got out of the car and headed for the villa. She wanted to get the money in her room to pay for the

ride.

She had just reached the front of the steps when a figure suddenly dashed out the door, bumping into

her.

Sharon gasped and took several steps back to stabilize herself. Her hands subconsciously held onto

the person who crashed into her.

"I'm sor—"

A woman started, her voice shaking, but immediately went silent when she saw Sharon.

Sharon was shocked when she realized who it was, her eyebrows flying up. "Sister Shirley, you—"

Shirley's clothes were in disarray, her eyes red and swollen, and tears streamed down her face.

Sharon's heart sank as she saw Shirley's state.

...

Knowing that Sharon saw her in such a humiliating state, Shirley's face tightened, and she clenched

her teeth. Without saying anything else, she pushed Sharon aside and dashed into the taxi.

Sharon turned to see Shirley saying something to the driver. The driver then turned the steering wheel

harshly and turned the car around.

Sharon watched, her hands clenched into fists, as the car drove out of sight before turning to look

towards inside the villa.

Sharon's eyes narrowed. Taking in a deep breath, she walked into the villa.

......

Sharon sprinted to the first floor, stopping in front of Leonard's room. She placed her hand on the

doorknob but hesitated just as she was about to open the door.

Her heart was beating quickly.

Shirley's dishevelled state by the door just now flashed through Sharon's head and she suddenly lost

the courage to open the door.

She was afraid to know how Leonard currently was.

She slowly loosened her grip on the doorknob.

Sharon turned around and leaned her back against the door, her face was sombre and full of

uncertainty.

Sharon did not know how long she stood like that.

Sharon slowly blinked, turned around, and looked at the door before turning around to return to her

room next door.

...

Right at that moment, the door opened abruptly.

Sharon stiffened as she saw Leonard's cold face.

Sharon panicked and subconsciously clenched her hands. "Master Leonard, ah!"

Sharon's wrist was grabbed forcefully and she was dragged into his room. She couldn't help but

shudder when her back slammed onto the wall beside the door.

His chest pressed her against the wall, warmth radiating from his body.

Sharon's heart was beating wildly, her eyes showing her confusion.

Leonard lifted her chin with a finger. Before she could react, something soft covered her lips. Her eyes

widened, and she held her breath.
