Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 651

Ariah nodded and muttered, "Yeah... I'm fine."

She was not wounded at all.

But Kobi was lying in a pool of blood. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Howard helped him to stop the blood before ordering someone to carry him downstairs. "Be careful!"

Ariah wanted to help, but Howard chased her away. "Don't cause any more trouble. Go, look for two people and bring Emily down. The ambulance will be here any minute."

"Alright."

With a nod, she then went to call Ben over to help her getting Emily downstairs.

Halfway through, she thought of Jimmy and looked back at him. "Jimmy..."

"Go to the hospital with Howard first. I'll clean up the mess here."

Jimmy stood by the window, enveloped in the light. Ariah couldn't see his expression clearly, but she seemed to see him smiling as he said, "Go, I'll be right there." "Alright, see you soon then!"

"Yep."

Ariah left with Ben.

Then, Jimmy glanced at Kevin, who was lying on the ground. Without any expression, he snorted...

In the hospital-

Sitting on the bench outside the operating room, Ariah had gradually calmed down now.

On the way here, Ben had been making calls, probably to contact with Jimmy.

"Where is Jimmy now?"

When Ben came back from answering another call, Ariah finally asked.

"Capt. is on his way here and he asked me to look after you in the meantime." Ben sat down on the bench opposite her. "Ariah, you don't look well. Are you all right?"

Ariah just nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

With a pause, she then asked, "How's it going? Is Kevin dead now?"

Kevin had fired at her and Kobi blocked the bullet for her. At the same time, Ben and the others also shot at Kevin.

"Nah, when the ambulance arrived, he was still breathing. Capt. said that he was a tough guy."

Hearing that, Ariah was slightly surprised. "Really?

He's indeed tough then."

Ben commented nothing.

"Ahem, what I mean is, he's quite lucky, isn't he?"

With muffled laughter, Ben said, "Well, whether he's lucky or not, this time, he's definitely put into jail."

Ariah agreed. Just then, the door of the operating room was opened.

Howard came out, followed by a nurse. He took off his blood-stained gloves and his mask, saying, "Follow me."

Ariah hurried over.

"Emily is fine, so is Kobi. Emily's wound is not serious and she can be discharged in a few days. However, Kobi was shot in the abdomen, so he needs a few more days to recover."

Instantly, Ariah was relieved. "Good to hear."

Howard gave her a sly smile. "You must be quite touched, eh?"

"Huh?" Ariah didn't understand.

"Kobi took a bullet for you. How touching is that! There are not many men who would risk their lives to take a bullet for someone else!" Howard gave her a meaningful look and continued, "If I were you, I would be really touched."

Hearing that, Ariah gritted her teeth. "Stop spouting nonsense!" "What? What did I say wrong?"

"Oh, shut up!"

"I'm telling the truth."

She was choked speechless.

Meanwhile, the nurse, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but laugh. Dr. Perkins had such a sharp tongue that a lot of the young girls in the hospital often got choked speechless by him.

On the other hand, Ariah thought of something and said, "By the way, Dr. Perkins, I didn't know that you're such a mysterious guy. Who is the man you called? I can't believe that Darren became so respectful to him in an instant."

Before Howard could say anything, she added, "But if you don't wanna tell me, that's fine too. I'll just ask Jimmy to look into your call records and then we'll know who you called."

"Ariah!" Hearing this, he immediately gave in. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made fun of you on that. Anyway, I still have a patient waiting for me and I'll go first. If you have any questions, just find Nicky!"

Then, he left as fast as he could.

Ariah rolled her eyes.

Ben shook his head and laughed.

Just then, a nurse came asking, "Miss Myers, we will send the patients to the ward later and Dr. Perkins would like to know if they should be arranged in the same ward, or separately?"

Upon thinking for a while, Ariah said, "Keep them separate first. When they wake up, I'll ask them again."

"Sure." The nurse nodded and gestured for Ariah to follow her to complete the admission process.

Before going with the nurse, Ariah told Ben to wait there for Jimmy.

But by the time she finished the admission and returned, Jimmy still hadn't arrived.

Since she was not in a hurry, she decided to wait for him. There must be a lot of things for him to settle at the department.

However, until the evening when Emily woke up, Jimmy still hadn't shown up.

In the ward, Emily opened her eyes and asked, "Is Kobi alright?"

"Yeah, don't worry." Ariah sat by the side and reassured, "Although the doctor said that he was wounded more seriously than you, he'll be completely fine when he wakes up tomorrow."

With a nod, Emily closed her eyes again.

Ariah stared at her haggard look and realized that Emily seemed to have matured a lot overnight.

When they met for the first time, Emily was quite cheerful and carefree.

But now...

Her eyes were filled with emptiness...

"Emily..."

Ariah called out to her.

"Yeah?"

Puzzled, she opened her eyes and glanced at Ariah.

"Well..." Ariah wanted to speak to her about something, but eventually, she just exhorted, "You should take good rest tonight. I'll keep you company."

With a hesitant look, Emily just nodded and closed her eyes to rest.

After that, Ariah stayed in the ward. A long while later, the door was suddenly pushed open, to which she got woken up.

She turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the door, staring at her deeply.

It was Jimmy.

"When did you come?" Ariah lowered her voice and walked towards him.

"Just a while ago." Jimmy then glanced at Emily on the hospital bed, asking, "How is she?"

"She's fine. Just now, she woke up a little and then fell back asleep again."

"I see."

"Are you done with your work?"

Jimmy nodded.

Moistening her lips, she then asked, "Well, how's it going with Kevin?"

Jimmy stared at her lips for a while, frowning. Without saying anything further, he took her hand and said, "Come with me."
