Chapter 17:

Apology

After Shane Yu calmed down, he saw that Sharon Yao beneath him seemed to have fainted.
“Wake up!” He patted Sharon Yao’s face.
Sharon Yao didn’t wake up, and he became worried.
Shane Yu immediately took a new set of clothes from the car and put them on Sharon Yao.
He rolled down the car window and shouted, “Old Xu, to Grace Liu’s.” Old Xu heard his boss call him and immediately got into the car.
Shane Yu looked at Sharon Yao lying in his arms, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, his heart filled with worry and heartache. He was afraid of losing Sharon Yao, a fear that gripped his heart tightly.
“Drive faster!” Shane Yu shouted anxiously.
Old Xu understood Shane Yu’s feelings at that moment. He slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped away like an arrow.

Soon, the car finally arrived at the residence of private doctor Grace Liu. Shane Yu, carrying Sharon Yao, rushed into the house.

Grace Liu was startled to see Sharon Yao unconscious in Shane Yu’s arms and immediately began a thorough examination.

After a while, Grace Liu said, “She’s been frightened and has a minor tear in her genitals, which is why she’s temporarily unconscious. I’ve applied medication; she’ll recover after some rest.” Hearing Grace Liu’s words, Shane Yu’s heart, which had been pounding, finally settled, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He carefully carried Sharon Yao to Grace Liu’s bed in her bedroom, then sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her silently.

Shane Yu was filled with remorse, feeling he shouldn’t have treated Sharon Yao this way. He rarely lost control, but when Sharon Yao was around, he became unable to control his emotions. Every time he saw Sharon Yao with other men, he would lose his temper and act impulsively.

Sharon Yao had a dream, a scene from a play she was watching. She was taken in by a powerful man and eloped with Chris He. Their escape was discovered, Chris He was beaten, and she rushed to stop him.

“Stop hitting me, Chris!” she murmured.

Shane Yu looked at Sharon Yao lying on the sofa and noticed she seemed about to wake up. He leaned closer, wanting to hear if she had anything to say. However, as he approached, he heard her call out another man’s name. This discovery instantly turned Shane Yu’s eyes cold and sharp.

Sharon Yao slowly opened her eyes. Her head felt dizzy, but she still tried to make out her surroundings. When her gaze focused on Shane Yu in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear.

“You’re awake?” Shane Yu reached out, trying to help Sharon Yao sit up.

However, because of her fear, Sharon Yao unconsciously recoiled, trying to avoid Shane Yu’s touch.

This action made Shane Yu frown in displeasure, but he didn’t want to frighten Sharon Yao any further.

“How are you feeling?” Shane Yu asked with concern.

Sharon Yao gently shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t feeling well.

“Not feeling well? Then tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?” Shane Yu asked anxiously.

Sharon Yao’s eyes gradually welled up with tears. She choked out, “I… I feel uncomfortable inside, it hurts so much…”

Shane Yu’s expression turned worried. He realized that the hurt he had caused Sharon Yao might be more serious than he had imagined.

“I shouldn’t have treated you like that,” Shane Yu sincerely apologized to Sharon Yao.

Sharon Yao was silent for a moment, not immediately responding to Shane Yu’s request.

After a long while, she finally spoke, “I want to transfer schools.” Mainly, she was too ashamed to stay at her old school, and even more afraid to face Chris He.

Shane Yu answered without hesitation, “Okay! I’ll arrange it for you!”

Sharon Yao fell silent.

Shane Yu sincerely apologized to Sharon Yao again, hoping to gain her forgiveness.

“Sharon Yao, I was wrong today, can you forgive me?” Shane Yu turned to face Sharon Yao, his eyes filled with genuine emotion and deep remorse.

“I don’t want to forgive him!” I continued coldly, “Actually, whether I forgive you or not doesn’t matter. You’ll still hurt me, won’t you?”

Sharon Yao looked at Shane Yu with innocent, bewildered eyes.

Looking at Sharon Yao’s hurt eyes, he felt a pang of sympathy himself. “I’ll make it up to you, I’ll treat you even better! Do you have anything you like? Designer bags, cars, houses. I can give you anything you want!”

Sharon Yao was tired and didn’t want to deal with Shane Yu anymore. “Money? Jewelry? Cars, houses? These things are just like you, they’re dispensable to me!”

“Money doesn’t matter to you because you’re doing well right now! If I made you miserable, penniless, and dependent on me, would you stop being so stubborn?” Shane Yu threatened Sharon Yao. She was the first person to dare say he was dispensable.

Sharon Yao’s eyes filled with tears, glistening droplets sliding down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground, splashing up teardrops. She bit her lip tightly, trying to hold back her sobs, but her voice still trembled and choked with emotion.

“Do you have to trample on my dignity like this?” Sharon Yao looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, filled with pain and despair. It was as if she were pouring out the deepest grievances and wounds within her heart.

Seeing her in such pain, Shane Yu’s heart clenched. He realized he might have gone too far. So, he gently pulled her into his arms, tenderly stroking her hair, trying to soothe her emotions.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Shane Yu said softly, a hint of guilt in his voice. “I just want you to be good, to listen to me, so we won’t have so many conflicts and arguments. If you’re good, I promise I won’t let you suffer anymore.” Sharon Yao lay quietly in his arms, silent. Her body trembled slightly, seemingly still immersed in the grief she had just experienced.

Shane Yu sensed her still heavy heart, so he continued to comfort her, “Believe me, as long as you listen to me, I’ll treat you well! I’ll take care of you and make you happy!”
