Chapter 147 It's Not What You Think

Hearing the annoyance in her voice, Seb chuckled and let her go.

If he kept teasing, Sharon would probably get really mad.

Sharon stepped back, fixed her messy hair, and glared at Seb.

"Alright, don't be mad. I might work late tonight. I'll have the driver take you home first."

Sharon frowned. "You need to change your bandages. How late are you working?"

"Not sure yet. Paul can handle the bandages."

Seeing his indifferent look, Sharon got a bit angry and stayed silent with a cold expression.

Seb felt a bit helpless. "It's just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a few days."

"I'll come change your bandages after work, then I'll go home."

The elevator doors opened, and Sharon walked out without giving Seb a chance to refuse.

Watching her leave, Seb couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, Alex came home with a grim face.

Ava was in the living room having a supplement. Seeing his frown, she put down the bowl and asked, "What's wrong? Is Grandpa still not letting you return to the Smith group?"

Alex sneered. "I knew it before I went."

"Then who upset you?"

Seeing Ava's pregnant belly and slightly out-of-shape figure, a look of disgust flashed in Alex's eyes.

"None of your business!"

With that, Alex quickly walked to the study, not wanting to look at Ava any longer.

Thinking about how Sharon defended Seb at the Smith Mansion today, and Seb's determination to cut ties with Tyler to be with Sharon, Alex felt restless.

Back then, he knelt at the Smith Mansion's gate for three days and nights to marry Sharon, but she never showed him such concern.

They had just been divorced for a few days, and Sharon was already messing around with Seb!

The more he thought about it, the darker Alex's face became. He was determined to make Sharon regret it!

After pondering for a while, a smile appeared on Alex's face. He immediately dialed Joseph's number.

"Didn't Uncle Seb have a first love named Grace Hall who went abroad? Find out where she is now and give me her contact info."

After hanging up, Alex put down his phone, his expression cold.

Alex thought, 'When Grace returns, I don't believe Seb will still stay with Sharon!'

Sharon returned to the lab, where Ashley was still napping. Sharon quietly walked to the computer, saw it was almost time for the afternoon shift, and decided not to nap. She picked up a book and read quietly.

At 1:55 pm, Ashley was awakened by the alarm.

Seeing Sharon reading, she groggily asked, "Sharon, when did you get back?"

"Not long ago. Go wash your face; we'll start the afternoon experiment soon."

"Okay."

Once Sharon started the experiment, she focused entirely on it until Ashley reminded her it was time to leave. Only then did she snap out of it.

Seeing Ashley's hesitant look, Sharon asked, "What's wrong? Got something to do? Go ahead. I'll finish up here."

Ashley shook her head and signaled Sharon to look at the door.

Sharon turned and saw Seb standing there.

He was tall, with an air of nobility that was hard to ignore.

Sharon took off her gloves and said to Ashley, "Ashley, can you help finish up here?"

After bringing Seb to the adjacent office, Sharon asked why he was looking for her.

"Didn't you say you'd help me change my bandages after work?" Seb's tone had a hint of grievance.

Sharon looked up, surprised. "I was planning to finish the experiment and then come up."

"Since I'm already here, why don't you change it now? I have a meeting later."

"Alright, take off your shirt."

Sharon got the gauze and medicine ready. When she looked up, she saw Seb's bare upper body, and her hand holding the gauze tightened involuntarily.

Seb had a toned waist with a full eight-pack, exuding a wild strength.

Seeing Sharon staring at his abs, Seb coughed lightly. "If you want to look, you can admire them all you want tonight."

Hearing the teasing in Seb's tone, Sharon's face turned red. 'How embarrassing!' she thought.

She had actually gotten distracted by Seb's abs!

But she wasn't about to admit it.

"I was just thinking about something. I've seen plenty of men with abs; I wouldn't get distracted by a few."

Seb raised an eyebrow. "Who have you seen?"

"Too many to remember."

"Really forgot or pretending to forget?"

Seb's eyes sparkled with amusement, clearly seeing through Sharon's lie, but he didn't call her out, just teasing her.

Sharon glared at him. "Are you getting your bandages changed or not? If not, I'll go back to my experiment!"

"Of course, I am."

After cutting the gauze, the bloody wound on Seb's back was exposed again. Sharon's hand paused, and her eyes trembled.

"Must hurt a lot, right?"

When Tyler hit Seb, he didn't hold back. The cane left deep wounds on Seb's back, which would take at least half a month to heal with proper care and rest.

Seb, with his back to Sharon, couldn't see her expression but could hear the concern in her voice.

"It doesn't hurt."

Sharon took a deep breath and started changing Seb's bandages without saying anything more.

Halfway through, the office door suddenly opened, and Ashley's voice came from the doorway. "Sharon, the experiment is already..."

Seeing Seb's bare upper body and Sharon leaning over his back, Ashley's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her eyes.

"I didn't see anything. You guys continue!"

"Ashley, it's not what you think..."

Before she could finish, Ashley interrupted, "It's okay, I didn't misunderstand. You guys continue; I'm leaving."

Ashley quickly closed the office door and left in a hurry.

Sharon was speechless.

She looked down at Seb and gritted her teeth. "It's all your fault. Now she probably thinks we're making out."

"How was I supposed to know she'd suddenly barge in? Should I go explain to her?"

Sharon thought, 'Seb explaining to Ashley? That would probably make Ashley overthink even more.'

"Turn around; I'm almost done with the bandages."

After wrapping and tying the bandages, Sharon cleaned up the used gauze and medicine. "No need for the driver to take me home later. I have something to do."

"Alright, be safe. Let me know when you get home."

After Seb left, Sharon tidied up the office, double-checked the experiment, and then locked up and left.

She took a cab to the bar to get her car, but instead of going back to the villa, she went to the hospital.

When she walked into the ward, Karen was feeding Robert dinner.

Seeing Sharon, Karen's previously smiling face fell, pretending not to see her.
