Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 590

Jimmy's predator-alike gaze brought goosebumps to Ariah's arms.

Calmly, he stared at her in an indifferent, yet sharp manner.

Eventually, having enough of it, Ariah threw the book away and glared back at him. "What? What are you staring at?"

"Come here." Jimmy sat up.

Ariah took a step back warily. "What do you want?"

"I'm asking you to come here."

"Tell me why, or I won't... O-Okay, sit back down. I'm coming!"

Seeing that he was about to get down from the bed, Ariah shrieked in horror and strode towards him.

Jimmy pulled her over as soon as she got close to the bed and stroke her cheek gently, which made her shiver in shock.

"W-What do you want to do?"

"Which side was it? This side, or this?" "W-What?"

"My mom."

Astounded for a moment, Ariah cleared her throat after realizing what he meant and mumbled, "You know about it?"

"Yes."

"Who told you? Ben or David? They're such a big mouth."

"My mom told me."

Ariah blurted, "What? Is she crazy?"

Why did Ella tell him about that? What kind of plot was she playing?

Based on her understanding of Ella's characteristics, she would not confess to Jimmy about slapping her so easily.

"What did you say?" Jimmy narrowed his eyes.

Surprised, Ariah immediately covered her mouth and shook her head.

It was not a good move for her to call Jimmy's mother crazy right in front of him.

Looking at her timid expression, Jimmy massaged his forehead and snorted, "So now you're scared? Were you scared when my mom slapped you?"

"Oh, she was fast. It happened so sudden that I didn't have time to react." Ariah pouted.

"You're usually very agile. What slowed you down then?" Jimmy frowned. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Ariah looked askance at him. "You were undergoing surgery. I was scared out of my wits, so of course, l-l wasn't as agile as usual..."

Hearing this, Jimmy felt a little relieved, and his gaze softened. "You must have felt bitter that my mom slapped you, but I can't make up for you for what she did. Will you be mad at me?"

"I understand. She's your mom. Of course, you can't hit her back." Ariah patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm fine. It's just a slap. It's not like she chopped off a part of me or something."

Jimmy looked at her, anguished.

What a lady. Jimmy wondered whether he should praise her for being big-hearted or sensible for treating this matter in such an indifferent manner.

Ariah checked the time. "It's getting late. Do you want to take a shower?"

A shower...

Jimmy raised an eyebrow mischievously. "Will you help me?"

Ariah rejected him directly, "You wish!"

"If you don't help me, who can?"

"Do it yourself..."

Ariah stopped talking when Jimmy intentionally moved his injured arm. Alas, she forgot that he was injured.

But she hadn't helped him to bathe before. Also, as a shameless jerk, he would probably take advantage of her while they were at it.

Therefore, Ariah said chicly, "Wait. I'll get someone to help you."

After that, she exited the ward quickly.

After a while, she came back with a young and pretty nurse beside her. "Oh, there he is. It's inconvenient for him to take a shower with his injury, so please help him clean up."

The nurse was a little reluctant at first, but as soon as she saw Jimmy's good-looking face, her hesitation instantly disappeared.

Her face was brushed with a hue of pink and shyness.

Sitting on the bed in a white and blue hospital gown, he was so handsome with his hair and eyes as dark as the night sky, his prominent facial features, and his outstanding and fearsome temperament. He was even more handsome than the hero in the movies.

The nurse rolled up her sleeves and walked over to him. "It's our duty to..."

"Get the hell out of here!"

Jimmy's expression was as dark as a dead man.

Startled, the nurse froze in shock. "W-What?"

Sensing something was off, Ariah stood in front of the nurse and bellowed, "Hey! What's with the attitude?"

Jimmy smirked in spite of his annoyance. "Are you nut?!"

"What are you..."

"Can't you see that this girl is trying to seduce me?"

"Oh, don't be ridiculous! She's a nurse, alright? It's her responsibility to take care of you."

The nurse nodded wistfully. "Yes, that's right..."

Ariah threw a despicable glare at him. "Besides, you're not much to look at either, dressing in a hospital gown with messy hair and a disheveled look. Why do you think someone will be attracted to you?"

The nurse coughed awkwardly.

Curling his lips into a chilling smile, Jimmy lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Ariah frowned at him. What was he trying to do?

Seeing him walking towards her, Ariah was about to say something when he simply bypassed her and stopped in front of the nurse.

Carrying the charismatic vibe, he walked in such a majestic demeanor that the nurse felt intimidated and shrunk her shoulder.

W-what did he want to do? Was he going to hit her?

Anxious, the nurse closed her eyes in fear and suddenly felt a firm grip on her chin. Jimmy pinched her chin with his rough fingers and forced her to look up, meeting his dark and profound gaze.

With a smile on his face, Jimmy asked, "Do you shower other patients too?"

What charming eyes!

The nurse's heart was pounding wildly as she nodded repeatedly. "Y-Yes."

"Wonderful." Jimmy's lips curled into a smile. "This way, please."

What did he mean?

Jimmy let go of her and turned to walk into the bathroom. "Hurry up and follow me."

When the nurse came to her senses, she immediately realized that he wanted her to follow him to the bathroom and help him take a bath!

"Yes, okay, coming!" The nurse immediately followed him, overjoyed.

Flustered, Ariah angrily cursed at Jimmy and then yanked the nurse's hand. "Get out! Get out!"

Ready to enter the bathroom, the nurse wanted to break away from Ariah's grip, but she didn't expect Ariah to be so strong. "What are you doing? Let me go. He asked me to go in..."

"He asked you to go in, but I'm asking you to get out!" Ariah pushed her out of the room forcefully.

"Excuse..."

Bang!

Ariah slammed the door shut and turned to rush into the bathroom, only to see Jimmy standing in front of the mirror half-naked, revealing his wide shoulders and masculine upper body.

"Where's the nurse?" He looked at her with a faint smile and arched eyebrows.

Gritting her teeth, Ariah slammed the bathroom door shut and snapped, "You dirty old man, how dare you asked the young lady to bathe you?! Ugh! I'll do it!"

She was frustrated with her ignorance for setting a "female wolf" to keep the sheep.

Geez, what was up with these shallow- minded young ladies? How could they fall for goodlooking guys so easily? Couldn't they be a little bit more reserved?

The grin on Jimmy's face grew wider.

He should have done this a little sooner to make her learn her lesson. Served her right for pushing him to other women like a fool! Did she really think that other women would not have ill thoughts about her husband?

The next day, Ricco came to visit Jimmy. They hadn't seen each other for only a couple of days, but Ariah was shocked upon seeing him.

"Ricco?"

Her eyes widened in disbelief when she looked at Ricco with messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles under his eyes.
