Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 371

As for how the accident happened, Jimmy would still tremble whenever he thought about it.

One of the reasons was that he was afraid. If that shot had missed a little, then Ariah would have been dead.

Other than that, he was angry, as the reason Ariah was shot was that she took the bullet forthat man.

How dare she take the bullet for other man?!

With a low and hoarse voice, he said, "Ariah definitely has a devious relationship with him. Stanley, you know Ariah well. Although she might look carefree, she's actually cold and distant. Besides, when it's someone that she's not close to, she won't even bother to pay attention to them, but now she's even willing to sacrifice her life for her mister!"

It must have been more than a devious relationship!

"So you're saying that it was an accident? You misfired?" When Stanley heard those words, he glanced at Jimmy from the side.

However, Jimmy sneered and said, "No, I really wanted to kill that b*stard at that time!" No one knew how he felt at that moment. Anxiously, he stood outside the door for so long as he tried to think of a way to explain to Ariah when he entered the house. In fact, he was even prepared to tell her all the truth...

But when he opened the door and went in, he saw her sleeping in the same bed with another man. At that moment, he was so mad, and he couldn't calm down. All he wanted was to kill that b*stard to vent his anger.

"You fool!" In a low voice, Stanley scolded him. "Do you think you could still sit here if you had killed that man?"

When Jimmy heard that question, his lips pressed tightly into a line.

At that moment, he had completely lost his mind and was extremely agitated, which was why he had done such a terrible thing.

"Consider yourself lucky that Ariah isn't seriously hurt, or else you would've been doomed." Then, Stanley lowered his voice and said, "I'll help you deal with this issue, and if that man decides to not make a fuss out of it, I believe you should be fine."

As soon as Stanley finished his words, an unfamiliar male voice was heard from behind, "There's no need for that. I will not pursue this matter, and Mr. Hudson will be fine."

Meanwhile, Stanley didn't turn around to look, as he looked straight at Jimmy instead. As expected, Jimmy's expression changed, and with the veins on his forehead popping out, he was on the verge of extreme anger.

It seemed that the person who had suddenly appeared was the man who had a relationship with Ariah.

The moment Stanley turned around, he noticed that he was a tall man with a sharp gaze. There was a hint of hostility between his brows, and with that gaze of an eagle, he didn't seem to be an easy man.

However, Stanley narrowed his eyes when the other party was checking him out. Finally, the man gave a faint smile as he directly walked over and politely reached out his hand to greet him, "Ricco."

As Stanley shook his hand nonchalantly, he replied, "Jones."

"Oh, Mr. Jones!" Something seemed to have flashed across Ricco's eyes as he smiled. "So I'm guessing that you're friends with Mr. Hudson?"

That question made Stanley raise his eyebrows. "Why do you seem to be very curious about our relationship?"

For a moment, Ricco pondered, but he didn't answer.

If it weren't for Stanley, who secretly tried to hold Jimmy back, he would have gone up to kill Ricco. At that moment, he couldn't restrain himself anymore, so he shook off Stanley's hand and said coldly, "Get lost!"

Meanwhile, Ricco looked at Jimmy and said with a smile, "Why are you so agitated? I'm just here to ask you which ward Ariah is at. I want to visit her."

Clearly he was doing it on purpose!

In fact, he could've just asked the staff, but he had to come here to irritate Jimmy.

Although the anger in Jimmy's eyes at that moment seemed as if he wanted to kill Ricco, in the end, he still endured it.

However, Ricco ignored his angry expression and added coldly, "As the saying goes, a day together as husband and wife would mean an endless devotion to each other for the rest of our lives. After what happened last night, Ariah and I..." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"F*ck you!"

When Jimmy heard those words, he couldn't hold his anger any longer. It made him so irritated that he wanted to beat Ricco up.

The moment Stanley wanted to stop him, it was already too late...

Meanwhile, in the ward.

The two children were having fun on the other side of the ward.

When they were alone, Sharon couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart. "Ariah, did Jimmy really... shot at you?"

It's been a few years since Sharon got to know Jimmy, and she knew his character quite well. In fact, he was not an impulsive person, and even if he had a conflict with Ariah, it would not have reached the point where he had to pull the trigger on Ariah.

However, Ariah's voice was calm as she answered, "You don't believe me?"

As Sharon shook her head, she replied, "I don't think he would do that."

At that moment, Ariah tilted her head to look at Sharon and asked curiously, "Why wouldn't he do that? He's even had the guts to have an affair. What else would he not dare to do?"

"I don't know about that, but I just feel that Jimmy still loves you, and he will never pull a trigger at you."

With her lips pursed, Ariah didn't say a word.

It was true that Jimmy didn't pull the trigger on her because the person he wanted to shoot was Ricco.

At that moment, when she saw Jimmy took the gun from his waist to point at Ricco, her scalp began to tingle, and she subconsciously rushed toward Ricco.

The moment she stood in front of Ricco, Ariah saw Jimmy's pale face, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Perhaps, he could not believe that she would take a bullet for another man.

Suddenly, the corners of Ariah's mouth twitched as the anesthetic gradually went off, and she felt a dull pain in her arm.

When Sharon noticed Ariah didn't want to talk about it, she stopped pursuing the truth. Then, she took the blanket and motioned for Ariah to rest well.

After a while, the door of the ward opened again. At first, Sharon thought it was Stanley who had returned, but it was an unfamiliar face.

"Hey, who are you? Did you go to the wrong room?" Immediately, Sharon stood up and asked.

When the person glanced at her, there was some blood at the corner of his mouth, which made him look a little terrifying. The gloomy aura from his gaze made her uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, Sharon felt that this man was not easy to deal with.

"Seamus, Sadie, come here!"

Immediately, Sharon ordered her children to come over to her. It was her maternal instincts. Whenever she sensed that there was danger, she would subconsciously hide her child behind her back to protect them.

However, the person seemed to be very interested in her reaction, and his eyes were fixated on her.

That gaze made Sharon felt uncomfortable.

"Ricco, why are you staring at my friend?" Instantly, Ariah frowned. "You're scaring her!"

At that moment, Ricco retracted his gaze and chuckled. "She's a friend of yours? So pretty, even prettier than you."

Those words made Ariah's eyes widen. Although she had known that he was profligate, she didn't expect him to be so flirty.

In disgust, Sharon raised her eyebrows as she turned around and asked, "Ariah, you know him?"

Then, Ariah nodded and struggled to sit up. Immediately, Sharon helped her up and placed two more pillows on her back to make her feel much more comfortable.

"Sharon, take the two children out." Clearly, Ariah knew that Ricco wouldn't just leave without saying a word if he were to visit her.

However, Sharon was not at ease. "Ariah..."

This person seemed so gloomy, and she didn't want Ariah to be alone with this man.

"What's there to be afraid of? This is a hospital. Nothing will happen. Besides, I feel relieved to know that you'll be guarding outside."

When Sharon heard Ariah's words, she had no choice but to nod her head.

When she walked past the man, his gaze focused on her body, which made her hair stand on ends as if she had been targeted by a predator.
