Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 370

The doctor was obviously shocked by Jimmy's appearance. Usually, it was the patient that needed treatment, but his case was different. Therefore, the doctor kindly reminded, "Your injury is quite serious. It will get infected if not treated in time..."

"Don't talk nonsense. How's the woman in the operating room?"

"It's not a critical condition. She'll be fine."

Upon hearing the reassurance, he went limp and staggered as he muttered to himself, "Luckily she's okay..."

As Stanley stepped forward to hold Jimmy's shoulder, he politely asked the doctor, "Can we visit the patient now?"

"Yes, but please keep your voice down. The other patients need to rest."

The doctor then left after Stanley thanked him.

Leaning against the wall with a dispirited look, Jimmy waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "I will go in after I calm down. You can go in first."

Glancing at him, Stanley quietly brought

Sharon and the children into the ward.

When Ariah woke up, she didn't feel any pain in her body, but she could still sense a wave of numbness coming from her left shoulder.

Her arm was as heavy as a mountain that couldn't be moved.

She snorted.

"Ariah? Does it hurt? Do you want me to call the doctor?" Sharon asked nervously.

It was only then that Ariah realized that there was no one else in the room. Looking at the family of four standing by the bed, Ariah was moved, and her eyes were a little moist. "Thanks for coming. Even if I really die, I won't have any regrets."

"Don't say the D word!"

The lonely look in her eyes made Sharon feel uneasy. With a straight face, she told Ariah, "The doctor said you are fine. You can't move around these days and need to take good care of your health. In a week, you will probably be discharged from the hospital."

"Stanley, your wife's attitude is just like yours, especially when she scolds people."

Since she could still joke around, her condition should not be too serious.

"Jimmy is outside. Do you want me to get him in?"

"If you ask him to come in, I'm afraid he'll break another arm. Or maybe we'll fight again," Ariah said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Sharon immediately became alert. "Ariah, did Jimmy beat you?"

Ariah nodded without hesitation, "Yeah, and he even fired a shot at me. I was almost killed by him."

Rage immediately pulsed through Sharon's veins when she heard the revelation.

D*mn it.

She thought it was just a simple quarrel, but it turned out that the truth was so grim.

Sharon was so angry that she responded without thinking, "This is homi-"

Before the word 'homicide' could be uttered, her mouth was covered by Stanley's palm.

Once he pulled her aside, he said, "Stop talking nonsense. It is a serious claim."

Since he looked so grave, she could only stop articulating her thought and push him away. In spite of her fury, she chose not to continue bickering over this matter.

"You stay here. I'll go out for a smoke."

After rubbing Sharon's head, he turned around to leave.

A smoke?

He must have gone to find Jimmy to settle the score.

That made her feel a little better. The reason she got so angry was that Ariah had helped her a lot in all aspects when Stanley went missing over the past few years.

Apart from Melody, Ariah was the second woman who treated Sharon with sincerity.

Therefore, no matter what difficulties Ariah was in right now, Sharon would always stand on her side. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Are you in pain?" Sadie asked as she leaned against the window and looked at Ariah's pale face.

Ariah wanted to touch her cute little face, but the pain was unbearable when she moved her arm moved. "It's okay. I'll go shopping with you when I get better in a few days."

She still thought of shopping despite her injury.

Sharon thus gave her a disapproving look.

However, she just blinked at Sharon and smiled.

As a considerate boy, Seamus asked, "Can she drink water now? Her lips are parched. She doesn't look good."

"What? Is there a mirror? I need to have a look now!" Ariah cried out.

Sharon was rendered speechless.

The atmosphere in the ward was thus not as depressing as how it initially was.

As Sharon felt slightly relieved, she touched her son's head with a smile...

In the smoking area outside the ward, Stanley was ready for a confrontation.

He fished out a cigarette and handed it to Jimmy, who accepted it with a trembling hand. Jimmy then took a deep breath as he closed his eyes and lit it with much difficulty.

His haggard face looked gloomy despite the intoxicating nature of cigarettes.

Following a bitter laugh, he said, "After you guys left, the doctor told me that her arm would be crippled if the bullet slightly deviated from its original path."

However, Stanley remained stolid as he played with his phone.

As Jimmy's lips quivered, he took another drag on his cigarette.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are injured now, I would have definitely given you a good beating to vent your anger!"

"I want to beat myself, too."

Jimmy uttered, one word at a time.

"Then why did you still shoot at Ariah?" Anger was pulsating in his words. "You know very well that you can't simply fire a gun. What's more, Ariah is your wife. How could you be so cruel?"

Instantly, Jimmy's face was drained of color.

Taking two deep breaths, Stanley suppressed his emotions and inquired, "Tell me the truth. What's going on?"

He knew Jimmy was not the kind of man who would get so aggressive for no reason. Something must have happened.

After some time, Jimmy slowly opened his mouth.

"A few days ago, Ariah got a divorce. I received a notice from the court and planned to ask her to come out and settle this matter. There's no need to make things so awkward. However, she didn't want to see me, so I called her. Since she didn't pick up, I went to her unit to look for her. She was not there, and it was still the same after several times... You know my temper; I can do anything when I'm nervous."

Because of this matter, he did not sleep well for two days. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Therefore, he rushed to Ariah's house with red eyes the next morning.

However, at her home, he saw her lying in bed with a disheveled man.

He was out of his mind at that time.

Enraged, Jimmy directly punched the man in the bed to wake him up. However, the man was not easy to deal with either, and he started to fight back.

As Jimmy launched his counterattacks, he realized that the other party was actually a martial artist, so the situation was utterly horrible.
