Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 634

When the nurse told Ariah that Jimmy had done a skin-grafting operation and that there were scars on his body, Ariah was shocked.

As far as she knew, nothing had happened to Kobi.

But why would the nurse say that Jimmy had burns on his body?

Initially, Ariah wanted to find out about it last night, but when she saw Mack was completely focused on Kobi, she was too embarrassed to ask.

"Burns on his body?" Immediately, Mack frowned. "Kobi has never been scalded since he was a child. How could he have a burnt scar? If such an accident were to happen to him while he was abroad, he would have definitely informed us."

What Mack meant was that Kobi had never been burned.

At that moment, Ariah was shocked.

Then, Mack looked at her and asked, "Ariah, why would you suddenly ask such a question?"

"Oh." After Ariah came back to her senses, she replied, "It was just a casual question, Dad. Don't take it to heart. By the way, since Kobi is awake, I'll accompany you home. I'm sure Mom must still be worried at home."

In a timely manner, Ariah changed the topic.

As expected, when Mack heard that, he nodded and said, "I'll go back first and inform her about the situation. Then, I'll come over again later."

"Then I shall accompany you back first?"

"I'm so sorry to trouble you." As Mack patted the back of Ariah's hand, he sighed, "Thank you for helping us out with everything. I will definitely remember your kindness."

Startled, Ariah replied, "Dad, don't say that. It's part of my duty."

Then, Mack smiled and said nothing more as he asked David to send him back.

At first, Ariah wanted to send Mack home personally, but Mack told her to remain in the hospital as he asked David to send him home.

After Ariah watched Mack leave, she was about to return to the ward to look for Emily, but she saw Emily came out of the ward before she could enter.

"Emily." Softly, Ariah called out to her.

Immediately, Emily walked towards her. "Hi, Ariah."

"You're hungry, aren't you? Come on. I'll take you to get something to eat."

When Ariah brought Emily to the hospital's cafeteria, Emily was not in the mood to eat, so she took the spoon and stirred the food in the bowl. A moment later, Ariah looked at her and asked, "You don't feel like eating?"

Sadly, Emily nodded. "I'm not in the mood to eat."

"Hey, Kobi is fine now. Don't worry about it."

"How could I not worry?" Then, Emily let out a long sigh. The fact that Kobi was suddenly hurt like that made her feel such a pain in her heart.

Suddenly, Ariah put down the cutlery in her hands and thought for a moment before she asked, "Emily, you were saying that on the day before yesterday when you went missing, you knew that

someone had knocked you out?"

With a nod, Emily replied, "Yes."

"So, do you have any idea who was the one who knocked you out?" Nervously, Ariah stared at Emily and asked.

However, Emily shook her head. "When I woke up, I saw Jimmy... he was..."

At that point, Emily looked at Ariah and couldn't go on with her words.

Meanwhile, Ariah did not react at all. On the contrary, her face was filled with suspicion. "If you said that you saw Jimmy hurting someone when you woke up, wouldn't it mean that you had passed out for way too long then?"

Startled, Emily immediately understood what was Ariah trying to imply, so she frowned and asked, "Ariah, do you think I'm lying?"

As Ariah didn't expect Emily to be so straightforward, she was stunned by Emily's words.

"I would be a b*stard if I were to lie to you. I really can't remember anything clearly, and I feel like my mind is in a daze. I have no clear memory of what happened, and I would have vague pictures appearing in my mind once in a while, but I can't remember anything. I only know that I saw Jimmy hurting Kobi when I woke up. Other than that, I don't know anything else..."

With every word that Emily said, her mind ached a little. Then, Emily would use her palm to hit her head slightly, and her face was full of pain.

When Ariah saw that Emily was suffering, she didn't dare to force Emily anymore. "Alright, don't think about it anymore. It's my fault. However, it's not that I'm suspecting you. I just wanted to find out the whole story to figure out a way to prove that Jimmy is innocent..."

"But Jimmy isn't innocent." At that moment, Emily held Ariah's hand and said, "Ariah, I know that it's hard for you to accept this. But that is the truth. I did see Jimmy trying to kill Kobi with my own eyes."

In fact, Emily thought that Ariah was being stubborn and did not want to accept the truth.

However, Ariah looked down and smiled. "I know what you mean. But if you were to think about it, why would Jimmy want to kill Kobi? Did he ever had any grudges against Kobi?"

Those words left Emily stunned.

In the end, Ariah didn't continue to say anything else as she stood up to pat Emily on the shoulder and said, "Take your time to enjoy your food. I am going to drop by the police station for something, but I'll come back here to accompany you later."

Before Emily could say anything, Ariah turned around and left.

For a long time, Emily sat where she was in a daze. At that moment, her expression was blank, and a few pictures flashed through her mind quickly...

It was so fast that she couldn't catch it.

Those scenes seemed to be the conversation that she had with Kobi. In the pictures, she seemed to be held captive while Kobi was standing there... NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Why didn’t he stand there instead of coming to free her?

Also, what was the reason Emily was being tied up again?

By the time Emily tried to ponder over these details, the images that flashed past had disappeared without a trace.

Ah... It hurt so much.

Immediately, Emily placed both her hands around her head as the chaotic memories made her entire body tremble.

Meanwhile, when Ariah arrived at the police station, Ben was napping on a chair by the side, so Ariah gently walked over as she didn't want to disturb him. However, as soon as she walked past him, Ben opened his eyes.

"Ariah!"

Instantly, Ben stood up.

With a smile, Ariah said, "Ben, you've been working very hard these days. Go and rest. I'll be here to take care of it."

Then, Ben shook his head. "I'm fine. Ariah, are you here to see our captain?"

Silently, Ariah nodded.

"I'll take you there then..." "It's fine. I know the way. You should rest well." After Ariah placed the bag in her hand on a chair, she uttered, "I'm sure you have not been eating well in the station. I brought you some food. Here, have some."

In the past two days, not only Ariah had been working hard, but Ben and David too.

At that moment, Ben was a little moved. "Thank you very much, Ariah. I think you should go in and have a look at Captain Hudson. He hasn't eaten anything for the whole day, and he won't listen to me no matter how I persuade him."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he eats."

As Ariah smiled and was about to turn around to look for Jimmy, Ben's hesitant voice sounded behind her, "Ariah... do you really believe that he is innocent?"

Immediately, Ariah's body froze, and she turned around to look at him. "What do you mean?"

Bitterly, Ben smiled, and there was some confusion in his eyes. "As a policeman, we would only believe in the evidence that we see because it is the most reliable and straightforward information. However, this time, almost all the evidence is telling us that Captain Hudson... is guilty."

In fact, Ben had personally come into contact with the evidence from the two cases. As Ben looked at the irrefutable evidence, the belief that he insisted on was gradually torn apart.

Initially, he was determined to believe that Jimmy was not guilty, but now, his faith in the bottom of his heart began to waver gradually.

In such a situation, Ben had no idea whether he should trust Jimmy, who was like a blood brother or believe in the direct evidence...

"I believe in him." A moment later, Ariah spoke. Even though her voice was light, it carried an unshakable tenacity. "I know you all would suspect him, but it's okay. I don't blame you guys. You all can choose not to believe him, but I will always believe him."

Because if even Ariah suspected Jimmy, then he was really left alone and helpless.
