Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 650

Darren pursed his lips as he squinted his eyes at Howard, wondering why Howard was here.

"What are you doing here?"

With a smile, Howard replied, "Nothing. Anyway, give me the phone."

Darren frowned but didn't move.

Seeing that, Kevin became nervous and warned, "Darren, don't give him the phone!"

Howard raised his eyebrows. "Darren, are you really gonna stand on his side?"

With that said, he went to grab the phone. "Give it to me. You can't let this villain have the control!"

The villain he meant was, of course, Kevin.

Annoyed, Kevin gritted his teeth and tried hard not to pull the trigger because he knew that the police would shoot him to death if he moved.

Right now, he should get the phone from Darren first.

Fortunately, Darren didn't just let Howard grab the phone.

"For the last time, are you really not gonna give the phone to me?" Howard did not expect Darren to be

so stubborn.

"Nope. Just leave," Darren advised calmly, "This is not somewhere you should be. If you're hurt somehow, I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to explain."

Explain? NôvelDrama.Org content.

Who was Darren gonna explain it to?

Jimmy looked towards Howard with suspicion.

And even Kevin frowned as well. "Darren, who is this guy? Why are you speaking for him?"

But, Darren just ignored him and continued to persuade Howard, "This has nothing to do with you at all. You should just stay away from it."

Without being bothered to answer back, Howard reached into his pocket for something, to which Kevin reprimanded, "Don't move!"

"Dude, take it easy! I don't have a gun, alright? I'm just taking my phone out!" Howard rolled his eyes at Kevin and pulled out his phone.

"I'm gonna go make a phone call now. You guys, stay calm. After I finish with the call, you can do whatever you want then."

Saying that, he gave Jimmy a look.

Although Jimmy didn't know what Howard was up to, he still hinted at Ben to wait and see while staying alert on Kevin.

The tension between the two parties was running

high.

Howard stood in the middle with guns pointing at him from both sides.

When the call was connected, Howard cleared his throat and asked, "Is this Giovani?"

"Hey, are you busy now? Yeah, well, could you take the phone to Room 302 and let the man inside answer the phone. Yeah, I have something to tell him... Cool, I'll wait for you to hand him the phone."

Then, the person on the other end of the line must have gone to the ward as Howard went silent.

A while later, someone answered the call and Howard went away to speak in a low voice, "Hey, there's something I need your help with..."

He squatted in the corner and whispered something. A while later, he came back with the phone, grabbed an apple from the table, and then handed the phone to Darren.

Taking a bite of the apple, he said, "Hey, someone wants to talk to you.'

Darren looked at him suspiciously. "Who?"

"Just take it and you'll know." Without further ado, he shoved the phone into Darren's hand and stood aside, crunching the apple.

In order to deal with these things, he hadn't even been able to have lunch.

Halfway through the apple, he realized that the woman in Ariah's arms was shot. Frowning, he threw away the apple and crouched down in front of Ariah. "Let me take a look at her."

Ariah glanced at him, but knowing that he was a doctor, she then moved her hand away from Emily's wound.

Upon examining the wound, Howard took off his tie and tied it to Emily's thigh before declaring, "She needs to go to the hospital asap."

Ariah lowered her voice and replied, "I know, but right now, Kevin won't let any of us leave."

With a light curse, Howard then instructed, "Alright, then talk to her and keep her awake. I'm gonna end this quickly."

Puzzled, she wanted to ask how. But then, she realized that it wasn't good timing, so she merely nodded and did as he said-she kept talking to Emily in a low voice to keep her awake.

On the other hand, upon taking over Howard's phone, Darren answered it suspiciously at first. But when he heard the voice, his expression changed.

He didn't expect that Howard had called that person...

Although Darren tried his best to keep calm, his voice was still shaky as he answered, "Yes... I understand. You can rest assured."

Just then, Howard came back with a dark look, instead of being optimistic like just now. "How is it? Have you finished talking on the phone?"

"Yeah." Darren gave him back the phone and handed over the control respectfully. "Take these. I'm leaving now. From this moment on, everything here has nothing to do with me anymore."

A second ago, he was still defending Kevin, and now, his attitude changed completely. Not only Jimmy, but everyone in the room all looked at Howard in shock.

Nevertheless, Howard didn't notice it and took the phones, snorted. "Good for you."

Seeing that, Kevin was exasperated and snapped, "Darren! What are you doing?"

With that said, he wanted to snatch the phone away from Howard, but suddenly, a gun was pointed at him. "Don't move!"

Kevin was defeated.

He had lost completely.

With a pair of red eyes, he glared at Darren. "You betrayed me!"

Darren merely looked at him with no expression. "If I were you, I would stop now!"

"Bullsh*t!"

Kevin snorted with anger. "Even if I'm gonna die today, you all will come with me!"

Saying that, regardless of the gun that was pointed at him, he fired.

And he was aiming right at Ariah.

With Emily in her arms, Ariah wasn't able to dodge the bullet.

"Ariah, watch out!"

Instantly, Jimmy's face turned pale. Before he could rush toward Ariah, someone had gone past him.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Just then, several gunshots were heard almost at the same time.

Ariah sat on the ground in shock. Behind her was Emily and in front of her was... Kobi.

Did Kobi... take the shot for her?

Dazed, she sat there still for a long time.

On the other hand, when Emily saw Kobi pounce on Ariah, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed...

Then, she closed her eyes and tears dripped down

her face.

Meanwhile, Ariah was pulled up into Jimmy's arms and she heard him asking her in a trembling tone, "Are you all right?"
