Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 661

As soon as she said that, Jimmy's face turned dark. "Get your stuff and well head back!"

Ariah sighed. "I really can't go back now. You saw what happened during the day. Emily almost killed herself."

"I'll ask the nurse to keep an eye on her."

"The nurse can't keep watch on her all the time."

They had their own work.

Jimmy's face turned black. But, he was trying to control his emotions. "Then I'll send someone over to keep an eye on her."

Ariah shook her head. "Forget it. I'm still worried..."

"Ariah, don't try my patience!"

Startled, she asked, "What's the big deal? It's not like you can't sleep if I'm not at home!"

Weird.

Hearing that, Jimmy stared at her deeply, which made her feel as if she had done something wrong. Finally, he looked away and said indifferently, "Are you coming with me or you want me to just take you away?"

"What?"

Now, Ariah got angry too and she sneered, "Tsk, are you trying to repeat what you did during the day by forcing me again? If you want to forcefully take me away, I definitely won't be able to refuse.

But Jimmy, you gotta understand that you're being overbearing and you're not respecting me now. If you continue to act like this, do you think we could live in harmony?"

Immediately, the atmosphere in the room was charged.

Jimmy curled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He looked icy.

"Ariah, if I don't respect you, do you think I'll still stand here and try to convince you?"

Piercing her with a sharp gaze, he then continued, "Haven't you seen me being domineering? If I were domineering, you wouldn't stand a chance to talk now."

He was so patient to her, which his colleagues might be surprised, knowing how he acted usually.

Hearing that, Ariah couldn't utter a word. Her hands were trembling in anger.

"Ahem..." Right then, a coughing sound came.

"Ariah..."

Ariah looked away and took a deep breath. Upon calming down, she came to the bed and apologized, "Sorry, Emily. Did we wake you up?"

Just now, they were quite loud. No wonder Emily was woken up.

Under the blanket, Emily stared at her with a pair of bright doe eyes. "Are you guys... quarreling?"

Ariah reassured smilingly, "No, don't worry. Go back to sleep. I'll make him leave soon."

"But I heard it. You two were quarreling." Then, Emily took her hand and said, "I can feel your hands shaking. Don't be angry. It's not good for your body."

Hearing that Ariah's hands were shaky, Jimmy frowned.

"Nah, I'm not angry." Ariah stroked her face as if she was taking care of her younger sister. "Anyway, you should take more rest as the doctor had instructed..."

"Listen, go back with Jimmy, okay?"

Emily cut her off. Actually, she had already woken up when Jimmy came in earlier. However, since the two had been talking, she could only keep quiet by the side. "I can stay here by myself and if I need anything, I'll call the nurse."

Nonetheless, Ariah shook her head. "No, I won't go back."

Getting her response, Emily pursed her lips. "I know you're worried that I'll do stupid things again like earlier. But rest assured, I won't try to hurt myself anymore. Now come to think of it, I have a family that loves me a lot; and I'm young, pretty, and I even have a little sum of money. I can find any man I want, or I could just get a toy boy."

Instantly, Ariah burst into laughter.

She was amused by Emily's last sentence.

"That's why..." Emily let out a long sigh and continued, "It would be a pity for me to die now."

Ariah looked her in the eyes. "Really?"

"Yep!"

Watching her face, Ariah knew that she wasn't lying. It seemed that Emily finally listened to what she had said during the day.

She was glad.

Shortly, Emily started to chase her away. "Go, go, go. You guys are preventing me from taking a good sleep."

Ariah was choked speechless.

So now, she was the one disturbing Emily to rest?

At the same time, there was the sound of footsteps leaving and Emily hurriedly said, "Hurry up. Jimmy is leaving."

Turning around, Ariah saw that Jimmy had left the room.

Sighing, she caressed Emily's little face. "Alright, rest well. I'll visit you tomorrow.”

"Sure."

Ariah packed her things up and walked out slowly, thinking that Jimmy must have left in anger already.

However, when she came to the elevator, she realized that he was still waiting for her.

Although she was surprised, still, she didn't speak to him. Before long, the elevator doors opened and Jimmy stepped in, followed by Ariah.

Inside the elevator, none of them spoke. Jimmy just leaned against the wall and showed no interest in conversing.

Seeing that, Ariah rolled her eyes.

When they got to the basement parking lot, Jimmy strode at a fast pace, which made it hard for her to keep up. Soon, Jimmy was nowhere to be seen!

The parking lot was huge but pitch black.

Gradually, she got a little nervous.

She definitely wouldn't come here if she was on her own, especially in the middle of the night. The parking lot was not only dark, but it was very empty. And there was the howling sound of wind coming from nowhere, which made her even nervous.

Swallowing hard, Ariah quickened her pace.

D*mn it! How did Jimmy disappear in the blink of an eye?

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps coming.

Ariah stiffened and pricked up her ears to listen. The footsteps seemed to be coming at her and it was getting quicker and closer.

Frightened, she started to run.

As she ran, she yelled, "Jimmy!"

She would never forgive him if anything happened to her now.

The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and Ariah was so scared that she almost screamed.

"Bang!" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Without any notice, she bumped into someone.

"Why are you running?"

A low but unhappy voice sounded above her head.

Thank goodness it was Jimmy!

Gasping, Ariah held his arm tightly and said, "There's someone... following me..."

Jimmy's expression changed and he quickly kept her behind his body. "Wait here. I'll go and have a look."
