Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 681

The door of the ward was kicked open all the way with a loud bang.

Ariah subconsciously turned around and saw Jimmy walking in from outside, leaning lazily at the door, and looking at them with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Despite the smile, his glare was particularly heinous.

"Having a good time?"

His remark made Ariah astounded. What did he mean by that?

She was about to rebuke when she suddenly glanced at Eric, who was leaning on her, and suddenly understood what he meant.

Anxious, Ariah hurriedly pushed Eric away and explained, "He almost fell just now, so I helped..."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? And he was going to fall right into your arms?"

What!

Ariah ran over in a hurry and tugged at his clothes. "I'll explain to you later. It's not what you think. The most important thing right now is to find Emily. She was kidnapped by a bunch of men in the hospital ward in broad daylight. That's so scary!" "You'd better figure out how to explain to me later!" Jimmy snorted and waved his hand.

David came out from behind him. "Yes, Captain?"

"Go to the control room and ask for surveillance."

"Yes, sir!"

At his superior's order, David turned around and left.

Then, Jimmy called two men in. "Take a statement from him about what happened."

Sitting by the bedside, Eric raised his eyebrows. "You want to take my statement?"

Jimmy didn't even look at him as he glowered, "You made a police report, so we have to take your statements. If you don't want to, fine, I'll let my guys leave the hospital now."

"Beggars can't be choosers," Eric thought.

Swallowing in dismay, he jabbed, "Fine. Ask away. When you're done, hurry up and find my sister. Stop messing around."

The two policemen who were going to take his statement scowled indignantly upon hearing his remark.

Seeing Jimmy's squint, Ariah hurriedly wrapped her arms around his and dragged him out of the room. "Let's go outside and talk, shall we? Don't you want to hear what I have to say?"

She bet that they would get into a brawl if she did not intervene.

After exiting the room, he pinched her chin before she could even catch a breath and demanded somberly, "Talk."

"Okay, I will. Let go of me first. It hurts..."

He loosened his grip and massaged her arm a little as he muttered, "Yeah right. I didn't even use any force."

Ariah pouted and started, "Emily's kidnappers sprayed something at Eric and Kobi..."

Upon hearing Kobi's name, Jimmy looked even more unpleasant. "Kobi was here too?"

"What? Are you jealous? Oh please, I have nothing to do with Kobi. He's here to see Emily, not me!"

Jimmy looked askance at her.

"Do you want to listen? If not, I'll stop talking!"

"Go ahead."

"Don't interrupt me then. When they kidnapped Emily, those men sprayed some unknown drug on Kobi and Eric that made them weak instantly. The nurses took them for an examination and found out that they were perfectly fine, so they asked me to bring them back to the ward. I was helping Eric to get on the bed but he went limp and leaned on me, and that was when you suddenly walked into the room and saw us..."

Ariah heaved in exhaustion after explaining a series of events. Why did he get jealous so easily?

"He happened to lean on you?" Jimmy sneered. "Can't you tell that he did it on purpose?"

"No way..." Ariah frowned in disbelief. "I swear, he was as weak as a kitten. He couldn't even walk properly. Otherwise, he wouldn't just watch Emily being taken away!"

Donning a blank expression, Jimmy warned in a low voice, "Stay away from him! You have no idea what he thinks of you!"

Ariah laughed in amusement. "He's only here to take his sister home. What can he think of me? Your imagination really runs wild."

"Are you a man? I can easily tell how he feels for you when he looks at you."

Ariah pursed her lips, speechless.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Suddenly, David called to say that he had gotten the surveillance footage and asked them to come over quickly. Ariah hurriedly said, "Go. I'll wait here... Hey!"

Before she could finish, he grabbed hold of her wrist and dragged her with him.

Ariah stared at him, bewildered.

He must be afraid that something would happen if she was alone with Eric.

In the control room.

Ariah's face was filled with anger after watching the footage. "These people are so pompous and lawless! They actually kidnapped her in broad daylight!"

Ariah had no idea at all when Emily was being kidnapped. The moment she entered the ward, she saw Eric and Kobi lying on the floor.

Now that she saw how Emily was taken away in such a rude manner, she growled in rage.

Emily was such a timid young lady. She must be scared to death because of this experience.

David cursed in a low voice, "F*ck, who are these people?"

Most of the bandits would choose to commit their crimes at night to cover their tracks, but these men literally barged into the ward in broad daylight and kidnapped someone.

Frowning in agitation, Jimmy said slowly, "These people are indeed bold, not to mention how swift and orderly their action was. They had their duties planned out after entering the ward. Two of them grabbed Emily while the other three attacked Eric and Kobi."

Kobi was injured, so his combat ability was near zero.

"This is not an ordinary kidnapping. This is a well-planned abduction." Jimmy turned his head at Ariah. "Did Emily get on bad terms with anyone recently?"

Ariah blinked in shock. "I... I don't know. She's been staying in the hospital for the past few days. Besides, she's not from Beachmarsh City. She didn't even know anyone here."

Jimmy fell silent.

Something flashed across Ariah's mind that she smacked her lips and murmured, "Could... could it be Kobi again?"

Kobi had had criminal records and had kidnapped Emily once. She couldn't help but suspect him subconsciously.

It went without saying that one should not commit a felony for they would surely be the first to be blamed if something bad happened.

In Kobi's ward.

Lying in bed, Kobi's abdomen was bleeding because of the fierce fight in Emily's ward. After checking his wound, the doctor warned, "If you still want to walk out of the hospital alive, you better stay still for the next week. Otherwise, even the gods can't save you."

He wanted to go out and look for Emily but his hands were tied.

When Ariah and Jimmy walked in, they saw Kobi staring at the ceiling with no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Ariah cleared her throat to grab his attention.

Kobi turned his head to look at her and immediately asked, "Have you found her?"

"No." Ariah shook her head and came to the bed. Before she could say anything, Jimmy pulled her back forcefully.

"Stand behind and don't move."

After pulling her to stand behind him, he looked at her and then turned to look at Kobi. "Is it you who sent people to kidnap Emily?"
