Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 653

On the way back, the two of them sat in the car and said nothing.

Ariah rubbed her belly, trying to help with digestion.

Suddenly, she remembered something and shouted, "Turn back the car!"

"What's wrong?" Jimmy asked.

"I promised Emily that I'll stay and keep her company tonight... Now, because of you, I totally forgot about it!" Ariah complained. "Take me back to the hospital now. I won't be going home tonight."

"We almost arrive at your place. Do you think it's possible to turn back the car now?"

"But Emily..."

"I'll call the hospital later and make sure someone is looking after her. You can rest assured."

Seeing that she was still worried, Jimmy said, "What she needs right now is rest. It doesn't matter whether you're present or not."

It made sense.

Ariah could only sigh and listen to him.

"Alright, then I'll go there early tomorrow." She leaned back into her seat and glanced at the man beside her. "Since I gotta sleep early, we're not doing anything tonight, do you understand?"

Jimmy looked at her with a faint smile. "Do you expect me to do something?"

Immediately, she was choked speechless.

Shameless!

He was trying to trick her again.

Jimmy's lips curled up slightly while he tapped lightly on the steering wheel.

Arriving home, Ariah rushed to the bathroom instantly. "I'm gonna take a bath. Help yourself."

She left so quickly that it was as if she was fleeing.

But of course, she was avoiding him, because back in the elevator, Jimmy looked at her pressingly.

Nevertheless, Jimmy just snorted and let her go. He wasn't bothered since the night was still long. Closing the door, he changed his shoes and went to the living room. Right then, his phone rang and it was Mack.

He walked towards the sofa and answered the phone. "Dad."

"I'm outside Kobi's ward. Where are you?"

"Ariah and I just got home."

Mack went silent for a moment, and then snapped, "What are you thinking, Jimmy? Director Sherlock had called me earlier, and yet, you weren't even bothered to inform me?"

If Director Sherlock hadn't told him that Kobi was sent to the hospital, he wouldn't have known about it at all.

Jimmy massaged his temple and replied, "It's not what you think. I plan to inform you tomorrow as it's getting late now. Besides, you've got very tired from this, so I wanted to let you have a good sleep today."

However, Mack snorted. "I promised to give you some time to deal with this, but how could you not keep me updated at all?"

"I don't have time now. I'll tell you when everything is sorted out," Jimmy said faintly, "Anyway, it's late now. I still have something to attend to, so talk to you later."

"Didn't you arrive home already? What else do you need to do?"

Taking a glance at the bathroom door, Jimmy could hear the sound of water coming from inside and his gaze deepened. "Well, gotta go now. I can't keep Ariah waiting too long."

Immediately, Mack understood what he meant and couldn't help but blush, though slightly annoyed. "Alright, don't forget to come home when you have time. Your mom is a little worried."

"Got it."

When Jimmy hung up the call, Ariah just happened to come out of the bathroom. Seeing that, he took off his coat and walked towards her.

Ariah glanced at him and quickly ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

Being shut outside the bedroom, he sneered. "Open the door!"

Inside, Ariah leaned against the door, clutching her clothes. "You go sleep in the guest room."

"Fine."

Getting his reply, she was a little surprised.

She couldn't believe it.

"But first, I need to take my clothes so I could go and take a bath."

"Wait a minute!"

Ariah locked the door before running to the closet to get the clothes that he had left behind to change. Then, she threw the clothes out through the tiny opening of the door. "Here you are!"

Saying that, the door was slammed shut again.

The man outside said nothing. A while later, she could hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she changed into her pajamas and blow dry her hair.

Just as she had dried her hair, there came a knock on the door again.

Ariah held the hairdryer with an alert look and questioned, "What's the matter?"

"I need the hairdryer!"

"Uh, but your hair is short. You could just dry it with a towel."

Jimmy sneered and asked, "Do you know how cold it is now? Are you sure you want me to dry my hair with just the towel?"

Ariah was choked speechless.

Indeed, he needed to blow dry his hair. Otherwise, he could get a headache tomorrow.

Unplugging the hairdryer, she then passed it out. "Here..."

Outside, Jimmy received the hairdryer. Just as Ariah was about to retract her hand, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed open the door with force.

Ariah was knocked onto the bed. Before she could dodge, a firm chest came from behind her back and pressed her down onto the bed again.

"Jimmy!"

She roared, "You're so heavy! Get up!"

Ignoring that, he went on to nibble her earlobe. "Locking me outside, huh?"

"I already told you that I need to get up early and go to the hospital tomorrow. So get out of here and go to sleep in the guest room!"

However, he just turned her body over and pinned her to the bed. She struggled vigorously, trying to kick him off the bed.

"Save your energy for later!"

Jimmy then pinned down her legs that were kicking wildly. "Be good!"

Meanwhile, his hands were roaming on her body. Gradually, Ariah stopped resisting and even started to pant. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was quite upset though, because Jimmy agreed not to touch her tonight, yet he went back on his words now.

The next day, when Ariah came to the hospital, it was already noon. While sulking over the fact that Jimmy didn't wake her up this morning, she quickly ran towards Emily's ward.

Being alone in a foreign country, Emily had no one but her now. Emily would be quite pitiful if she wasn't by her side either.

When she arrived at Emily's ward, she didn't see Emily.

Surprised, she quickly ran towards the nurse station and asked, "Where's the patient inside that room?"

The nurse answered without looking up, "The patient should be in their ward."

"If so, I wouldn't have come here to ask you!"

Hearing that, only then did the nurse looked up at her. "Which ward is she in?"

"Room 2205!"

The nurse thought for a moment and replied, "Oh, that girl. She asked for a wheelchair this morning and then went out to get some fresh air."

Emily went out to get some fresh air?

But it was freezing outside!

With a frown, Ariah then thought of a possibility and left in the opposite direction.

Kobi's ward was in that direction, and Emily could only be going to his ward.

Outside of Kobi's ward, Ariah spotted Emily sitting in the wheelchair, talking to Kobi.
