Chapter 324 Extra Story Be My Woman (Part One)
Outside the emergency ward of A City''s Municipal People''s Hospital, Sh paced back and forth.
She was utterly distraught, and a hint of frantic etched on her face. However, after thinking for a
while, she finally took out her mobile phone and sent Mary a message.
"Manager Lu, Mr. Gu is sick. The doctor said that his stomach was bleeding inside and he should be
operated as soon as possible. If you have time, I suggest that youe and see him."
After writing this, Sh paused for a while and then added, "He kept calling your name while we
were on the way to the hospital."
After sending the message, she slumped on the cold chair in the corridor and heaved a deep
breath.
Barry might run his harsh mouth sometimes and blurt out some hateful words, but Sh knew how
much he had helped her. If it weren''t for him, she wouldn''t be a famous actress right now. But after
that one night with him, she didn’t know howto face him anymore.
It was so obvious he liked Mary so much! And thinking of that made her slightly envious. She
wondered if she would ever meet someone who would like her just like that.
While that thought lingered in her head, Sh''s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she quickly sat upright and answered the call. "Hello? Manager Lu? Yes, in
Municipal People''s Hospital. Alright."
Just as she ended that call, a nurse came out of the operating room, pushing the hospital bed with
Barry on it.
"Doctor, how is he?" Sh walked up to the doctor, who followed behind the nurse.
"He''s all right now. He needs to take a good rest after leaving the hospital."
"Thank goodness! Thank you, doctor." Sh nodded.
It was shortly after that that Mary arrived, carrying a food box in her hand. Seeing Sh standing in
the corridor, she rushed up to her and asked. "Where is Barry?"
"He is in the ward. I was told that he is expected to fully recover after a few days of rest. Come with
me, Manager Lu."
Mary nodded gratefully and followed Sh into the ward, frowning slightly.
"The doctor said his condition was the result of his overworking, irregr eating pattern, and
overdrinking," Sh said.
"I see." A trace of guilt could be extracted in Mary''s voice. "Thank you."
"You''re wee." Sh shook her head and added, "Well, Manager Lu...Since you''re already here,
I guess I''m free to go."
"Wait a minute," said Mary, as she stood up and turned to Sh. "Sh, I want to talk with you. Just
a few minutes. Would that be okay?"

For some reason, Sh''s heart skipped a beat upon hearing her proposal. But although she was
slightly nervous, she still nodded calmly.
"Sh, thank you for texting me. Thank you for letting me know." With a slight smile, Mary started
the conversation politely.
"It''s nothing. I just happened to meet him at thepany."
"Do you have a son?" Mary asked her directly.
"Well... Yes, I do." Sh nodded. She didn''t know why Mary suddenly asked this question.
"I don''t know why Barry suddenly decided to make you famous. I don''t know why there was so
much news about you recently either," Mary said seriously. "I don''t think you are the kind of artist
who wants to be famous through improper rtionship and scandals." Mary''s tone was not
insulting, and her eyes bore a soft nce at Sh.
"Of course not!" Sh shook her head immediately. She, too, wanted to know the answers to
Mary''s questions. Sh didn''t understand how she got entangled with Barry this way.
"Then please stay away from Barry. No matter what purpose you may have, please don''t get close
to him. He has learned a lesson from me. You already have a child. Don''t let him be the father of a
child who is not his again."
Sh was not too dense; she knew Mary was driving her away. So, instead of staying unwee,
she left and walked towards Ray''s ward while thinking of Mary''sst sentence. That warning
obviously echoed in her head and would probably stay there for a while. She didn''t do anything.
Why did everyone think it was her fault? At this point, Sh was really tired of being used of
something she did not do.
Her mind was off somewhere when she pushed the door open and walked into her son''s room.
"Mom, is that you?" Ray''s voice came from the bed.
"Ray, are you still awake?" Sh took a deep breath, trying to adjust her mood before walking to
the bed.
"I said I wouldn''t sleep until you are here."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Sh hugged her son and said, "Good boy! I''m sorry foring
inte, honey. II
"It''s alright, Mom." Ray nestled in his mother''s arms andforted her, "I know you are very busy.
You have to make money. Look! I''m in this lovely ward because of your hard work. Thank you for
everything, Mom!"
"I won''t feel tired if it is for you. I''ll continue to work hard until you have fully recovered, Ray." With a
sob, Sh touched the gauze on her son''s eyes and asked, "How are your eyes? Do they hurt?"
The young boy shook his head and said, "My eyes are cold andfortable. Don''t worry, Mom.
Everything''s fine."
"That''s good, that''s good."
"Mom, when can I have the operation? When can I finally see? I almost forgot what you look like."
"Soon, my baby. You’ll have the operation soon, okay? You''ll be able to see by then," Sh
comforted in a soft tone, caressing his hair gently with so much affection.
The night was getting cold, and both Sh and Rayy on the small hospital bed. With her arms
wrapped around her son, Sh hummed a luby.
"Mom, please don''t leave tomorrow, okay?" Ray suddenly asked in a low voice, now feeling a little
sleepy.
"Go to sleep. I''ll hold you in my arms tonight." Sh could only let out a sigh after saying that. She
didn''t want to give him false hope by saying she would stay. She needed to work and hustle to pay
for his hospital bills.
So, the next morning, Sh got up pretty early. She had an appointment that day and was already
certain she would leave Ray in the hospital.
After getting out of bed, she kissed Ray''s cheeks and walked out of the ward while he was still
sleeping.
"Let''s go." Sh nced at her current agent, Jaime, and shed him a smile.
"Okay." Jaime nodded and looked at Sh pitifully.
The two of them walked out of the hospital. When they were about to get in the car, a nurse ran to
them. "Ray left his ward to find you! Please go back andfort him."
Sh''s eyes widened in extreme shock. She hurried back into the hospital and frantically ran on its
corridors, desperate to find her son. A couple of minutester, she saw her son face to face with
Barry, who was in a wheelchair.
Ray ran around and bumped into Barry''s wound! ''Oh my god!'' she eximed internally while
gasping in utter surprise.
As a result, Sh had been on tenterhooks the entire day during her filming. Everyone in the set
even noticed how slightly absent-minded she was. So, when they finally wrapped up, she rushed
back to the hospital.
After coaxing Ray to sleep, she still felt her guilt eating her up and sneaked towards Barry''s ward.
"Click."
Sh quietly pushed the door open.
"Hello? Who''s there?" Barry asked, surprised to hear the door open as he was not expecting any
visitors this time around.
"Mr....Mr. Gu, it''s me." Sh greeted awkwardly and walked towards his bed.
"What are you doing here?" Barry furrowed his brows and asked in a cold voice.
"My son was too reckless today, I apologize. Please don''t be too upset with him, Mr. Gu." "He
apologized to me himself. Don''t worry, I didn''t take it seriously."
A long stretch of silence suddenly filled the ward. Only their breathing, which bizarrely synched, and
the light rumbling of the air-conditioning could be heard. And being stuck with him in one room only
made Sh even more ufortable.
"Well, Mr. Gu, I''ll be leaving now." Unable to bear the pressure, she tried to escape.
"Wait a minute!" Barry stopped her and quickly surveyed her from head to foot.
"What''s the matter?" Seeing how she was being scrutinized by his sharp, intense eyes, Sh was
almost frozen to her feet.
"Be my woman." Although Barry bore an indifferent expression, his words struck like a p of
roaring thunder.
"Pardon me, Mr. Gu?" Utterly stunned, Sh blinked a couple of times before asking, "You... What
do you mean?"
"Don''t you get it? Being my woman means being my mistress!" Barry sneered and continued, "Did
you really think I was going to make you famous and ask for nothing in return?"
Sh staggered and took a step back.
"Be my woman on call." Barry dropped another bomb, not minding if his words pierced through
Sh''s heart like a sword.
"No way!" Sh rejected outrightly and firmly shook her head.
"Then you''ll be fired." Although Barry was lying on the bed, he still managed to throw her a
domineering and fierce re. "Your son is very thoughtful. You probably don''t want him to suffer
with you."
"No, Mr. Gu. I''ll work harder! I can even take less money! Please!" Upon hearing his threat, Sh
suddenly lost all her determination. How could she say no in this situation when Barry was clearly
threatening her with her weakness?!
"Then, be my woman obediently." He shed her a devious smile before asking, "Have you already
forgotten about that wonderful night we spent together?"
Sh''s pale face dictated how bbergasted she was at that moment. Facing him right now was
already too much, and yet here he was, reminding her of that memory she wished to forget.
"Won''t you say yes then? If you don''t, I will tell Ray how his dear mother sold herself to pay his
medical fees. What would Ray think of you after that, I wonder?"
