All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 1941 - Chapter 1950

Sharon's senses snapped sharply awake. But she didn't move; her breathing remained steady, practiced.In the darkness, she felt a gaze resting on her, as if someone were checking whether she had truly fallen asleep. After a long moment of silent scrutiny, having noticed nothing unusual, Thomas finally withdrew his gaze and slipped quietly from the room.When the door clicked shut, Sharon followed. Thomas was cautious; she had to wait until he was fully gone before daring to step out.Through the peephole, Sharon saw him walking toward the study.Could he have work to attend to at this hour?Her curiosity piqued, she waited until Thomas pushed open the study door, then emerged from the bedroom herself.Standing at the threshold, she paused for a few moments.When he didn't reappear, she drew a deep, steadying breath and resolutely twisted the doorknob.The desk lamp cast a soft, muted glow—not enough to illuminate the whole room. The knife in his hand caught the light, reflectin

Sharon's panicked, uncertain heart gradually began to settle.She looked at Thomas."Thomas… I can't spend my life with someone who either hurts my friends or hurts himself. Your memories are important to you, but does that make other people's lives any less important?"Today, you directed your methods at them. Someday… if I do something that goes against your wishes, you would do the same to me."Seeing Thomas open his mouth as if to reply, Sharon cut him off."Don't bother denying it. If you can hurt yourself, what else wouldn't you be able to do?"She drew in a deep breath, steadying herself."Thomas… you can only choose one: hypnosis or breaking up."A flicker of harshness passed through his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Instead, he held her gently, his voice tinged with a rare vulnerability."Sharon… you just agreed to marry me a few days ago. In six months, our wedding will happen. I've already designed your wedding dress… You can't leave me."Sharon instinctively

Sharon said, "If music therapy works, then none of that matters."Uriah's eyes twinkled with meaning. "Even if it means ruining your hand again… it wouldn't matter?"Without hesitation, Sharon replied, "As long as it can cure Thomas's illness, it doesn't matter if I can't play the violin anymore."Uriah shook his head. "Even if your hand were permanently damaged, it could at best ease Thomas's condition. It's unlikely to cure him completely.""That's fine," Sharon said firmly. "Even relief is enough."Uriah sighed and shook his head. "You know, you used to say you'd never give up your passions for any man. Look at you now—still letting your heart rule your head."Sharon's expression was serious. "Uriah, Thomas is different. Even if I had to sacrifice my hand or everything I have now, I wouldn't hesitate. This isn't foolish infatuation. He's worth it."She admitted that during her time with Carter, she had been overly romantic, blinded by love. But with Thomas, it wasn't infatuat

Sharon stared at Jamie, holding her breath without even realizing it.Jamie didn't bother with suspense. His voice was low and steady. "Those people used heavy shackles to make sure he couldn't escape. He was just as ruthless with himself—apparently, he snapped his own hand to get free."He didn't tell Sharon that, at the moment Thomas broke his hand, there had been a witness in the cell.A guard had been patrolling when he stumbled upon the scene—he saw Thomas snap his own hand. The sharp, sickening crack of bones shifting echoed through the cell, sending a chill down the guard's spine. Yet, Thomas hadn't even flinched. Just watching it made the guard feel cold all over.Then Thomas noticed him. He glanced up with an expressionless stare, dark and oppressive, like a demon crawling out of hell.The guard froze, terrified, fully aware of Thomas's combat prowess. He didn't dare approach alone and ran to get reinforcements. By the time they returned, Thomas had already vanished.Sha

Jamie's tone seemed to say plainly, 'Dr. Galen, I only honor my promises to Sharon. As for anyone else… forget it. I'm a ruthless man.'Dr. Galen's lips twitched slightly, then he asked, "Did Uriah say how long it will take to purge the poison in your body?""About a month," Jamie replied.Dr. Galen nodded and waved him off.Back at home, Sharon noticed Thomas wasn't there.She took out her long-neglected violin, Nameless, and gently plucked the strings, attempting a piece.By ordinary standards, Sharon's performance was still professional—flawless, even. But compared to her peak, there was still a gap.After years of not touching the violin, her skills and foundation remained, but even so, it had taken her countless hours of daily practice to maintain that level. Now, her hand hadn't fully recovered, and regaining peak skill in such a short time was impossible.Yet, Sharon was more anxious than ever. She didn't have that much time. She desperately wanted to help Thomas in any
