Chapter 098 Sharon's Confession
After leaving the TL Hotel in his Lamborghini, Eric headed straight to the hospital to pick up Sharon.
Sharon was getting discharged from the hospital.
Eric's heart was filled with mixed emotions as he thought about seeing Sharon, as he had already been involved with Tina in that kind of situation.
Although it was not Eric's intention, rather a scheme by Tina's father, the deed was done and couldn't be reversed.
Inside the hospital room, Eric pushed open the door of the ward.
"Sharon, I'm here to pick you up," Eric approached Sharon's bedside with a smile.
"Eric, you finally came. I've been wanting to leave the hospital for a while now," Sharon smiled sweetly at Eric.
Even though Eric and Sharon hadn't officially become a couple yet, seeing how happy Sharon looked, Eric felt even more guilty towards her.
"Alright, pack your things. Let's leave the hospital. I've already taken care of the paperwork downstairs," Eric said.
"Okay!" Sharon nodded with a smile and began packing.
"By the way, Sharon, have things been going well in the hospital these past few days?" Eric asked.
"It's been alright. Just that there's this young male doctor who constantly tries to please me, and it irritates me," Sharon said.
"Oh? He's interested in you, huh? Well, it's only natural. You're so beautiful, it's abnormal if nobody notices you," Eric chuckled.
"Whatever, I'm getting discharged anyway. I won't see him again," Sharon said.
Just then, a young male doctor walked in.
"Sharon, I bought you some chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot," the male doctor said while walking over and placing the chicken soup on the table.
"I won't drink the chicken soup, and also, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Eric," Sharon said and held onto Eric's arm.
Seeing this, Eric couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. Sharon clearly wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with this male doctor.
Eric had already guessed that this male doctor was the one Sharon had just mentioned, the one who constantly tried to please her.
After hearing Sharon's words, the male doctor turned his head and looked at Eric.
"So this is the boyfriend you mentioned before. Based on his appearance, it seems like he's not even worthy of you."
After looking at Eric's clothes and appearance, the male doctor's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
At the same time, this male doctor straightened his back, displaying a sense of confidence, as if he was telling Sharon, 'I am much better than your boyfriend.'
Hearing the male doctor's remark, Sharon couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter.
Sharon knew very well that Eric was the chairman of the Power Group, while this male doctor was speaking ill of Eric. Of course, Sharon found it amusing.
Eric also chuckled, then took out the keys to his Lamborghini and played with them in his hand, saying, "I think you may not be worthy of talking to me."
Upon seeing the car keys in Eric's hand, the male doctor's face instantly changed.
"A Lamborghini, huh?"
Of course, this male doctor recognized it, the Lamborghini keys in Eric's hand.
"How is it possible! With your appearance, how could you afford to drive a Lamborghini?" the male doctor looked incredulous.
"I don't need to prove anything to you, but if you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself," Eric shrugged nonchalantly.
"Sharon, let's go," Eric grabbed Sharon's hand and walked towards the door of the ward.
"Fine, I want to see for myself! If you're really driving a Lamborghini!" the male doctor gritted his teeth.
A set of keys was not enough to convince the male doctor, as it was easy to buy counterfeit luxury car keys online.
After he spoke, the male doctor followed them outside.
After leaving the hospital, Eric took Sharon directly to the hospital parking lot.
A stunning green Lamborghini was parked inside the lot, attracting many young people who were taking photos with their phones, hoping to share them on social media.
As Eric pressed the unlock button, the Lamborghini's hazard lights flashed assertively, like a beast opening its eyes.
Those taking photos quickly stepped back.
Eric went straight to the passenger door and pulled it open.
When the young doctor who followed saw Eric open the door of the Lamborghini, his face turned as pale as wax.
"Sharon's boyfriend...really drives a Lamborghini!"
The truth was right in front of him. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to accept it at this moment.
Eric turned to look at the young doctor, who immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet Eric's gaze.
Then, with a smile, Eric withdrew his gaze. He couldn't even be bothered to know the young doctor's name.
"Sharon, please," Eric made a graceful gesture.
"Eric, wasn't your car orange a few days ago? How did it suddenly become green?" Sharon looked surprised.
"Because I got another one." Eric smiled and explained.
"Well, you're impressive," Sharon smiled and got into the Lamborghini.
"Wow, I envy that girl!" the young girls around, who were taking photos, looked at Sharon with envy. Who wouldn't envy someone who could ride in a Lamborghini?
With a thunderous roar, the green Lamborghini sped away.
"I never thought I would play the role of your boyfriend again," Eric laughed.
"What's wrong? If you can pretend to be Tina's boyfriend often, why can't you pretend to be mine?" Sharon pouted.
"Of course it's not like that. I can play your boyfriend anytime you need me to," Eric laughed awkwardly. Why did he feel like Sharon was a bit jealous?
At that moment, Sharon suddenly lowered her head and whispered,
"Then...why don't you just be my boyfriend?"
As soon as Sharon said those words, the Lamborghini came to an abrupt halt by the roadside.
Sharon's words were like a confession, weren't they?
If it were before, Eric would have been delighted and accepted.
But, because of the situation between me and Tina, Eric cannot agree now.
Eric did not respond immediately, and the car suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere inside the car also became somewhat strange.
Sharon was also nervous. She looked at Eric with hopeful eyes. For her, she had been waiting for a long time. Today, she gathered up great courage to say these words.
After a moment of silence, Eric looked up at Sharon and said seriously, "Sharon, I... I feel like I am not worthy of you. I am not worthy of being your boyfriend."
"How could that be? You are so outstanding and kind. How could you not be worthy of me? Is it because you look down on me?" Sharon bit her lip and lowered her head with self-doubt.
After a few seconds, Sharon raised her head and forced a smile as she said, "I know my family background is poor, and you are the chairman of the Power Group and Sean's grandson. How could I possibly be worthy of you? I was too naive to say such things. I'm sorry for scaring you."
As Sharon finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, but she still managed to force a smile for Eric.
Seeing Sharon like this, Eric's heart clenched as if a knife were cutting through it.
Immediately after, Sharon opened the car door directly.
"You don't need to bother to drive me, I'll take a cab. Thank you for the money you helped me with before, I will slowly pay you back."
After saying this, Sharon got out of the car.
"Sharon!" Eric restrained himself from shouting out loud.
But Sharon had already closed the car door.
Eric quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out.
After getting out of the car, Eric immediately ran to the passenger side. Sharon was squatting by the side of the road, trying her best not to cry out loud.
Seeing Sharon like this, Eric had the urge to rush up and tightly hug her.
But in the end, Eric didn't do it.
It was undeniable that Eric liked Sharon in his heart.
However, Eric knew that he had already had a relationship with Tina and took her first time. No matter what, he had to take responsibility for Tina.
If Eric agreed to Sharon now, what would he be?
"Sharon, it's really not what you think, I... I..." Eric wanted to explain to Sharon, but he didn't know how to explain.
