Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 591

Ricco tugged his collar and said with a bitter smile, "What's up? Why? Can't you recognize me?"

"What have you been through these past two days?" Ariah eyed him curiously.

How did he become so gaunt?

Instead of answering her, Ricco asked, "Where's Jimmy?"

"Inside." Ariah pointed at the ward.

After entering the ward, Ricco said faintly, "I need to talk to Jimmy alone. Felipe, wait outside. Ariah, don't come in either."

Ricco was not alone. Felipe came with him.

As soon as Ricco closed the door, Felipe stuck himself up the wall and glared at Ariah with a wary expression, as if he was looking at a fierce beast.

Narrowing her eyes, Ariah walked over and called out to him, "Hi, Felipe."

Immediately, goosebumps formed on his arms, and he blurted, "D-Don't come near me."

He was genuinely afraid. Ariah was extremely wicked!

Although Ricco told him later that it was just hypnotism thatAriah did to him, he was still a little fearful of her.

She was not much different from a cult for being able to control someone's mind so easily!

He couldn't offend her, so he might as well stay as far away from her as possible.

Just as he wanted to turn around and leave, Ariah shouted, "Stop right there!"

Shivering in fear, Felipe stood still, grimacing. "What do you want?"

Ariah pressed him into a chair and uttered, "Sit."

Felipe sat down like a puppet.

"I want to know why do you want to run away whenever you see me." Ariah sat beside him.

Felipe turned his face away and avoided her question. How could he tell her that it was because he was afraid of her? That was too cowardly.

Ariah gave him a slap. "Answer me!"

Shuddering, Felipe shifted slightly to the side, keeping a further distance away from her. "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"What happened to Ricco?" Ariah asked him directly. "Why does he look so unwell as if he had been tortured?" "What are you talking about? It was because he didn't sleep for two nights after heavy workloads, that's why!"

"Oh, I see. What's your relationship with Ricco?"

"None of your business!"

"Hey, why are you so rude!"

As Ariah leaned forward to pinch his ear, Felipe was astounded by her sudden advancement that his face turned red, and waved her hand away. "What the hell? Keep your distance, woman! Don't touch me!"

Ariah smacked her lips indifferently.

"You said that Ricco didn't sleep for the past two nights. Why? What did he do?" Ariah frowned. "Was he working on Kevin's case?"

Felipe asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"An easy guess. It's not that hard," Ariah thought.

Ignoring him, she started to ponder the entire situation. Jimmy had not mentioned anything about Kevin ever since he was admitted to the hospital, and she didn't ask him either as she knew he didn't want to share the details with her.

However, Ariah was curious about how Jimmy would deal with Kevin and how he would find him.

It was just that he did not take the initiative to tell her, so she did not ask.

But now...

Ariah's gaze fell on Felipe. "Have you guys discovered anything? Did you know where Kevin is now?"

Felipe snorted. "Why should I tell you?"

This d*mned boy was quite petty.

Pursing her lips mischievously, Ariah jabbed, "I bet you guys didn't find anything, am I right? Jimmy and Director Sherlocks don't even have a clue, let alone you punks."

Punks?

Hearing this, Felipe glared at her lividly, "Who are you calling punks?"

"You and Ricco, of course. At first glance, I know you're just some hooligans who got involved in hanky panky business. What's wrong with calling you punks?"

"Hey, watch your tongue, woman! We're not punks. Don't you dare insult us! Ricco is an Interpol who is much more powerful than Jimmy and Director Sherlock. Shut your mouth if you don't know anything!"

God d*mn!

Ariah's eyes widened in disbelief.

She only tried to get words out of him, but never did she expect to discover Ricco's true identity!

Interpol?

Ariah found it a little hard to accept the fact.

On the other hand, Felipe grinned proudly. "How is it? You're shocked, aren't you?"

After a long while, Ariah finally regained her composure and said, "Aren't you afraid that Ricco will beat you up for letting the cat out of the bag?"

Felipe was startled at first and then hesitated. "I-1 don't think he... he will..."

Ariah sneered, "Imagine this. Ricco is on a mission and you accidentally reveal his true identity. What do you think he will do to you?"

Instantly regretting his impulsion, Felipe threatened, "If you dare to expose Ricco's identity, I will be the first to kill you..."

Slap!

"Hey, why did you hit me?" Felipe hugged his head in pain.

Ariah retracted her hand and snorted, "Who do you think you are to threaten me? I won't tell Ricco that you've revealed his identity with one condition." "What is it?" Felipe pursed his lips, dreaded.

"Be my snitch."

"What?" Felipe thought he misheard her.

"Ricco will definitely do everything in his power to find Kevin. I want you to update me whenever Ricco finds something." Ariah glanced at him. "Do this, and I won't tell Ricco that you spilled the beans."

Felipe gritted his teeth in dismay. "How dare you threaten me!"

Seeing his distressed look, Ariah smiled. "Yup, that's what I'm doing now."

Felipe was so indignant that his hand trembled violently.

Amused by his reaction, Ariah was about to speak when she saw a familiar figure on the nurse station.

"Why is she here?" she mumbled to herself.

Skeptically, she got up and walked over.

"Emily?" she called out.

Astounded to see Ariah, Emily froze for a while before turning to leave.

Ariah immediately caught up with her. "Emily, why are you walking away..."

She grabbed Emily, but before she could finish, she shrieked in surprise when seeing her face. "What happened to your face?"

"N-Nothing." Emily hurriedly avoided Alice's gaze. "Why are you here?"

Ariah's expression darkened. She pulled her into a corner, lifted her chin, and asked coldly, "What's going on? Who did this to you?"

Alice's eyes turned red. "No one. I accidentally bumped my head."

There was a slit near her eyebrow with dried blood on it. She must have treated the wound at home and then came to the hospital.

Agitated and anxious, Ariah pulled Emily's hand without a word and brought her to see a doctor.

Howard was answering the phone in his office when someone kicked open the door abruptly. He shouted angrily, "What the hell? Oh, hey, Ariah. What brings you here?"

"Cut the cr*p!" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ariah brought Alice in and hurriedly demanded, "Hurry up and treat her wound."

"Who is this pretty lady..."

"Stop dreaming, playboy. She's not available, and even if she is single, you're not good enough for her!"

"You..."

"What? Hurry up and treat her wound!"

"You..." Exasperated, Howard huffed, "I'm so unlucky to know you!"

No one dared to openly scold him except Ariah! If it weren't for Jimmy who always had her back, he wouldn't have taken the insult so easily.
