Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 712

When Ariah woke up, the sky had already turned dark. She was lying on the bed at her house, and she could hear the sound of television blaring in the living room.

Stunned, she quickly got up and went to the living room.

"Oh, you're awake." Felipe was sitting cross-legged on her sofa. When he saw her coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief. Holding a beer bottle in his hand, he was drinking while watching television. "You slept the whole afternoon. I was about to freak out if you don't wake up anytime soon."

He was wondering if she was unconscious for so long because Jimmy hit her too hard.

Now that she was awake, he could rest assured.

However, after listening to what Felipe said, Ariah stood rooted to the spot. Wearing a poker face, she looked kind of scary.

Swallowing the beer in his mouth, he said, "Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Ariah pursed her lips and asked, "Where's Jimmy?"

"Oh, he's not back yet. I guess he needs some time to take care of things." Pointing to the plates on the table, he asked, "You've been sleeping for one whole day. Do you want something to eat? I ordered some takeouts, but I'm not sure if the food suits your liking." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Standing frozen for a while, Ariah slowly walked up to Felipe. It was only until she came nearer that Felipe saw her trembling hands.

Shocked, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ariah only laughed coldly without answering his question. Suddenly, she stood up and strode towards the bedroom.

Noticing the murderous look on her face, Felipe quickly followed after her. "Hey, what are you doing?!"

After returning to her bedroom, Ariah packed Jimmy's clothes, his toiletries, and even the sheets that he had slept on before throwing all of them into the trash can downstairs.

Looking at her vigorous movements, Felipe was dumbfounded for quite a while.

After Ariah got rid of everything related to Jimmy, Felipe asked blankly, "Does this mean that you're breaking up with Jimmy?"

Sitting on the sofa, Ariah laughed coldly. "Yeah. From now on, Jimmy and I are strangers. You can go now. You're not needed here anymore!"

Listening to her voice, Felipe knew that she was dead serious. Suddenly, he felt a little intimidated. "Well, Jimmy asked me to take care of you until he comes back. I don't think now is a good time for me to leave."

Ariah glared at him. "Don't you ever mention him in front of me!"

Pursing his lips, he said. "Alright then. I'll stop talking about him. Please don't get angry."

Anger flooded through Ariah. She used all of her might to hold back her anger so that she would not lose control.

She could not believe that not only did Jimmy lied to her again, but he even knocked her out!

She would never forgive that bastard!

In fact, she felt a feeling of indescribable helplessness after her anger subsided. Leaning against the sofa, she looked at the empty house as an ironic smile crept across her face.

Seeing her smiling without saying anything, Felipe did not dare to provoke her. Sighing, he sat down beside her, grabbed a bottle of beer and opened it for her. "Want some beer?"

Ariah cast a glance at him, took the bottle, and chugged the beer.

"Hey, drink slowly. No one's going to take your beer away." Felipe pushed the food to her. "You should at least eat something. The pork chop from this restaurant is very delicious. Try it..."

After sleeping for half a day and throwing Jimmy's stuff out, Ariah was drained. Indeed, she was starting to feel hungry.

Picking up her fork, she took a bite. However, her expression changed all of a sudden. Tossing her fork away, she ran to the bathroom without even putting on her slippers.

Surprised, Felipe followed after her hurriedly. Before he even got close, he could already hear her puking.

Terrified, he grabbed a towel and stood next to her. "What's wrong? Does it taste that bad? I think it tastes good though. If you don't like it, I'll order something else for you."

He kept blabbering away until she stopped vomiting. Quickly, he handed her the towel. "Wipe your mouth."

After Ariah was done vomiting, she sat blankly on the toilet seat, face as pale as paper before falling into deep thought.

Felipe did not know what she was thinking about. He was a little annoyed at her for being so weak, simply throwing up all of a sudden.

If he had known that this would happen, he would not have let her eat the food.

Just when he was still in the middle of his thoughts, Ariah suddenly stood up, giving him a shock.

Wearing an awful expression, Ariah strode outside. Felipe had absolutely no idea what was wrong with her, so he quickly followed behind her. The next second, Ariah slammed the bedroom door in his face, nearly hitting his nose.

After a while, the bedroom door opened again, and Ariah came out. Wearing a coat, she held her purse and phone in her hand. It seemed like she was about to go out.

Scratching his head, Felipe followed her again. "Hey, what's wrong with you? Can you at least say something?"

Ariah ignored him.

Felipe could only go along.

After exiting the neighborhood, Ariah hailed a cab. Felipe followed her into the car, and the driver asked them, "Where's your destination?"

Felipe looked at Ariah. Only then did Ariah say in a hoarse voice, "The hospital."

Upon hearing that, Felipe frowned. The hospital? Why was she going to the hospital? Did she have an upset stomach?

However, Ariah did not seem to care about him at all. Left with no choice, he could only follow her quietly.

After arriving at the hospital, Ariah registered herself at the reception. An hour passed, and it was finally Ariah's turn. The doctor looked at her and asked, "So what brings you here today?"

Ariah said, "Doctor, I think I'm pregnant. I want to do a checkup."

"What?!"

Felipe shouted behind her.

Frowning, Ariah glared at him and immediately, he shut up.

The doctor gave them a look before asking her some questions. Then, he gave her a slip. "Let's do an ultrasound first."

Ariah got up and walked away. As she was walking, she accidentally tripped, and the doctor shouted at Felipe, "You're her husband. Don't you know how to help her walk?"

Feeling guilty after being shouted at, Felipe tried to explain in a weak voice, "I... I'm not her husband..."

Disgusted, the doctor waved his hand and said, "Young people nowadays are really irresponsible."

Felipe was speechless.

He wanted to defend himself, but Ariah had already left. Hurriedly, he caught up to her. He was so shocked that he could not even speak properly, "You... you're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

When he heard the doctor say that she might be pregnant, he was really shocked.

Ariah ignored him. After examining her expression carefully, Felipe noticed that she did not seem happy at all. Instead, she seemed somewhat angry.

He knew something was not right, but he dared not ask anything. Quietly, he followed after her.

However, his attitude towards her had completely changed. He treated Ariah like a national treasure, not daring to touch her even the slightest bit. He would block anybody who tried to get close to her.

People along the way wondered if she was diagnosed with some infectious disease.
