Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 679

Haha!

Ariah was extremely nervous at first, but when she heard Emily's remark, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

They were such an adorable pair of siblings!

Emily stood in front of Kobi, donning an intimidating expression.

Eric's face turned gloom in great dismay.

Sighing, Ariah stepped forward and uttered, "Guys, this is a hospital. If you continue to fight like this, the nurse will come in to interfere."

As soon as she said this, Emily backed down a little and turned to ask Kobi behind her, "Are you all right?"

Kobi touched his cheek. "I'm fine."

Yeah right.

There was blood coming out from the corner of his mouth.

It indicated how strong Eric's punch was.

His face was already pale because of the injury, and now with the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, he looked particularly horrifying.

"Nurse!" Emily shouted.

A nurse walked over and asked, "May I help you?"

Emily pointed at Kobi. "He's bleeding. Please check on him, quick."

"I'm fine..." Kobi donned a smile at her.

"I don't care," Emily muttered and returned to Ariah's side.

Ariah shook her head as she looked at her. She was such a stubborn young lady.

On the other hand, Eric had been eyeing Kobi with a contemptuous expression. "So he's the reason you don't want to go home with me?"

"I never said that I don't want to go home with you.

I told you I'll... I'll go when I recover. Now it's not the time yet!"

Since Kobi was here, Emily didn't want to admit that it was because of him that she refused to leave.

"I came with a private jet and a family doctor on board. I can bring you home safely regardless of your injury!"

Hearing that, Emily could only glare at him.

Kobi, who had been sitting quietly in a wheelchair, suddenly looked up at Emily with a frown and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Before Emily could say anything, Ariah spoke, "Yes, her brother came to take her home. They'll leave the day after tomorrow at the most. Don't you know about this?"

Kobi looked at Emily, shocked. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's none of your business, and it's up to me to let you know or not," Emily said faintly.

Kobi's frown deepened as he looked at her.

Ariah smiled. "It's probably your last day together today. Have a good chat. Mr. Eric and I will be waiting outside."

With that, she pulled Emily aside and uttered in a low voice, "You have to make your decision today whether to stay or go back. Remember what you said? Break it before it's too late."

Emily shifted her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, she simply nodded. "Alright."

"Good." Turning to Eric, Ariah suggested, "Mr. Eric, why don't we give them some space to talk? Let's wait outside."

"Why can't they just talk in front of..."

"Let's go!"

Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Ariah pulled him out and closed the door.

Eric seemed to be very protective of Emily, but why did he always do something that irritated her?

"We'll be at the door. Nothing will happen. Don't worry."

Ariah looked up and smiled at him as she spoke.

With that, Eric looked down at her and then at his wrist with a faint smile. "How long do you have to hold me?"

What?

Only then did Ariah realize that she was still holding his wrist.

She quickly let go.

Leaning against the wall, Eric pouted. "Emily listens to you well."

"She takes me as her big sister."

"I'm her brother, but she never listens to me."

Ariah pursed her lips awkwardly.

"I have a presumptuous request, Miss Myers. I hope you can help me," Eric looked at her and suddenly said seriously.

Ariah was a little taken aback. "What is it? Please, do tell. I'll help you if I can do it."

"You will definitely be able to do it."

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Eric laughed slowly and said, "From the looks of it, I knew that Emily couldn't leave that man behind, and she certainly doesn't want to go home with me. I know my little sister too well. She called home because she was too upset and there was no one here to comfort her, but she didn't expect I would come so soon. Now, she began to regret her decision and throw a tantrum, refusing to go with me."

Listening to his remark, Ariah was certain that he knew Emily very well.

Ariah nodded. "So?"

"So I hope you can come with us." Eric said slowly, "No matter what their outcome is today, I'll take her home tomorrow even if I have to tie her up. However, she will certainly be restless on the way

back, so I hope you can come with us and help me keep an eye on her along the way. She will behave herself around you."

He assumed that since Emily listened to her so well, she would definitely go home with him if she tagged along.

"Cough cough!"

After listening to his request, Ariah chuckled helplessly. "I'm sorry but I can't agree to that."

"Why not?"

"Because it's impossible."

"What's so impossible about that? You don't need to bring anything with you when you're with us. I'll pay for everything. Isn't it nice to visit our place since Emily is such a good friend of yours?"

Ariah squinted.

"Or are you afraid that you will fall in love with me while we are together?" Eric smiled confidently. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

This time, Ariah rolled her eyes in disgust.

This man was not only confident, but also narcissistic.

She shook her head and explained seriously, "Mr. Eric, I have a husband and I'm very in love with him. You're indeed very charming and handsome, but I'm not interested in you at all. I only talk to you because you're Emily's brother. Do you understand?"

Eric was dumbfounded for a while and gasped in bewilderment.

After a long while, he said, "I have to admit that it's quite hurtful to hear what you've said because, truthfully, I've never heard of such a blunt refusal..." His face was full of disappointment.

Feeling uncomfortable in the awkward situation, Ariah blurted, "Well, I need to use the toilet. Excuse me.

With that, she quickly slipped away.

Eric looked at her leaving and slowly smiled.

In the ward.

Emily suddenly felt a sense of awkwardness now that she was alone with Kobi.

Sprucing herself up, she looked at him in the wheelchair and relented, "I apologize on my brother's behalf. He's not his usual self today..."

"It's okay. I don't blame him." Kobi smiled casually. "If I had a younger sister who suffered such a predicament, I would be even more ruthless than him."

Emily pursed her lips. So he knew that she went through a predicament.

Then why didn't he consider what she would do before he did those things that hurt her?
