Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 631

"You're here." When Mack saw her, he sighed. "Let's wait for a while. The operation is still going on. Have a seat first."

"Okay." Ariah sat down beside him and said, "David, please get me a glass of water for Mack."

"No problem."

David quickly ran to get water.

"Sorry for hurting you. Are you alright?" asked Mack with a faint smile.

"The doctor said I'm fine."

"That's good."

Ariah wanted to say something for Jimmy, but when she saw the tired look on her father's face, she knew that he was also extremely depressed. Therefore, she swallowed back the words that had been bobbing in her throat.

As David came back, she handed the glass to her father. He took it but didn't drink it.

"Is Ella alright?" asked Ariah.

"She fainted upon knowing what happened. The doctor said it was a huge blow for her, and she needs to rest now."

Suddenly, Mack changed the subject. "Did the sc*mbag ask you to come over?"

He must be referring to Jimmy.

Ariah glanced at Mack and remained silent.

As he sneered, the joints of his hand were clicking. Ariah knew that he was still angry, so she hurriedly calmed him down, "There's something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead." Mack's mood eased a little as he uttered that.

"I understand that your feeling now, but I believe Jimmy may have been wronged."

"How is that possible? The police officers were eyewitnesses. They saw how he committed murder before arresting him on the spot! The knife with his fingerprints was at the crime scene. The evidence is there, Ariah."

"But what about his motive?" Ariah hurriedly retorted. "To kill someone, one must have a particular motive. Jimmy and Kobi are brothers, so I don't think Jimmy killed him out of hatred. Have you thought about this?"

Mack suddenly became speechless.

"Don't you think that this matter was fishy? Why would Jimmy kill Kobi for no reason? Even if he really wanted to do that, do you think he would be arrested? He himself is a police officer who deals with criminal cases all year round. With his professionalism and abilities, it's impossible for him to be caught after doing something bad!"

Mack fell silent. The corners of his mouth were tightly pressed together. He frowned deeply and stared at Ariah intently.

He had the same thought too, but the evidence was there. The surgery was going on, and Kobi's safety was still an unknown... How could he believe that Jimmy had done nothing wrong?

Ariah knew that Mack's heart was full of questions, so she gave him some time to think about it.

As she looked at Emily, she motioned for David to take care of Mack.

"Emily?"

Ariah squatted down in front of her and called out her name softly.

"Ariah?" Emily raised her head in shock.

"Yes, it's me."

Emily was still staring at her in a daze. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

It must be a shock to witness the bloody scene, so Ariah pulled her up from the ground and said, "It's cold on the ground. Let's sit on the chair."

Emily stumbled a little as Ariah helped her to her seat.

"Why are you here, Ariah?" Emily's teary eyes were red. "It's been a few hours, but Kobi is still in the emergency room. I'm really worried..."

"Don't worry," Ariah tried to comfort her. "If anything happened, the doctor would have come out some time ago. But since the surgery is still ongoing, that means there's still hope for him."

Emily nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you're right..."

Holding her hand, Ariah said, "I have a question."

Upon hearing that, Emily suddenly raised her head. "Do you want to ask about Jimmy? He's the murderer. I saw him fighting when I opened my eyes. He held a knife in his hand and he wouldn't stop no matter how I called him... Kobi was bleeding profusely... He's lying there motionless as if he's dead..."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled what had happened over the past few hours.

Ariah frowned when she heard that, "Then who called the police?"

"I don't know. Not long after I opened my eyes, a police officer came..."

Ariah thus called for David, who hurriedly came over, "What's wrong?"

"David, who called the police?" "It's a neighbor who heard screams from the crime scene," David answered truthfully.

"Emily, why were you on the crime scene? Where were you yesterday?"

Alice, whose memories had been altered, was stunned. After a moment, she replied, "I don't know. I seemed to have been knocked unconscious last night. When I woke up, I saw Jimmy holding a knife..."

At this point, her tears fell again. "Ariah, why did Jimmy kill Kobi? I don't understand.”

Ariah smiled bitterly, for she also wanted to know the answer.

There were many doubtful points, and the only way to find out the truth was to wait until Kobi came to his senses.

At the same time.

Two people appeared at the police station. Ben looked warily at them with his squinted eyes. "Why are you here?"

Only the Hudson Family and Director Sherlock knew what had happened to Jimmy, so how did the two know that Jimmy had encountered a problem?

Otherwise, they would not have shown up at the police station now.

Just then, Felipe rolled her eyes. "We're not bad people. Why are you looking at us like that?"

Ben snorted coldly, for he didn't really like these two people. If it weren't for what they did, Jimmy would not have been shot and sent to the hospital quite some time ago.

Glancing at him, Ricco said faintly, "If you want to save Jimmy, then take us to him right now."

Bewildered, Ben inquired, "What do you mean?"

"I don't have time to chat with you here. Take me to see Jimmy now."

Following a hesitation, Ben responded, "Come with me."

Jimmy's eyes flashed with surprise the moment he saw Ricco coming in. Before he could ask why, Ricco had sat opposite him and uttered lightly, "I have evidence to prove that you are innocent."
