Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 372

Meanwhile, Ricco remained frozen until the door of the ward was closed. After that, he headed straight to the bedside and looked down at her arm. "Your ex- husband's marksmanship is not bad. He was even able to move the gun and shoot aside to save your arm in such an emergency."

At that moment, Ariah glanced at him and asked suspiciously, "What's with the wound on your face?"

The area around his eyes was swollen, and the skin at the corner of his mouth was torn, bleeding faintly. It was quite scary.

With a faint smile, Ricco answered, "I fought with someone before I came to visit you."

That answer left Ariah speechless.

"Don't you want to know what happened to the person?"

"Uh, what happened?"

"The doctor is currently bandaging his wounds. The condition of his injuries is more serious compared to mine."

"In that case, I'll mourn for him."

Clearly, Ariah had seen Ricco's skills. In fact, she and Ricco met each other by fate when she went to the bar to drink and ended up being molested by a group of hooligans. In a hurry, Ariah grabbed him and asked him to call the police. As a result, Ricco alone took those ten hooligans down that night.

A few of them were even seriously injured and were admitted to the hospital. However, Ariah didn't know what happened to them in the end.

It has been many years since Ariah stayed by Jimmy's side. Sometimes, Jimmy would bring home some documents from work, and Ariah would occasionally look through them. Over time, Ariah had developed penetrating insight skills.

In fact, she also had an intuition for those who might be a threat. Just like Jimmy, when he encountered criminals, he also had an intuition deep in his heart, and he could tell whether the other party was unkind.

Well, she did get the feeling of unkindness from Ricco.

Supposedly, Ariah should stay away from a person like him. However, he was the one who saved her life after all, and if it wasn't for him the other night, she would definitely have faced a terrible ending.

Although he didn't seem like a good person, at least he didn't do anything to hurt her.

"What are you thinking about?"

While Ariah was deep in her thoughts, Ricco's low and hoarse voice pulled her back. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, Ariah blurted out, "I was thinking about how we met."

With a faint smile, Ricco asked, "I was a hero who saved the damsel in distress that night. Shouldn't you repay me by throwing yourself in my arms?"

A hero? With her lips curled, Ariah muttered, "Are you even a hero? I think you're more like a bad person."

It was a very soft voice, and only she knew what she was talking about, but Ricco was able to hear every word she said.

Insidiously, Ricco smiled and lowered his body as he stared at her with his brown eyes. "That night when you asked me for help, I did tell you that I was more terrible than those hooligans. Besides, I did ask you if you still wanted me to save you, but you immediately nodded without saying anything."

When Ariah heard those words, she gulped. That was indeed the case.

However, the situation was urgent at that time, and there was no time for her to think about it. As long as someone could save her from that situation, she did not care whether he was a hero or a devil.

"Hey... don't come so close to me!" Ricco's scent filled her nose which made her uncomfortable. "Stay away from me!"

After Ricco stared at her for a long time, he smiled and said, "Women are indeed ruthless. Last night when you hugged me to sleep, you were not as ruthless as you are now!"

Immediately, Ariah's face turned pale. After he mentioned it, the incident that happened in the morning flooded her mind.

In fact, the moment when she opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on the same bed as Ricco, her head was already in a daze.

However, the next second when Jimmy barged in, his eyes turned red, and he fought with Ricco like a mad man. All the things that could be demolished in her house were all torn down by the two of them... Things ended the moment Jimmy shot her, and she was then sent to the hospital and entered the operating room. Now she was awake, but the matter was brought up again by him.

As Ariah tried to remember what happened the night before, she stared into his brown eyes and asked slowly, "Nothing happened between us, right?"

Eloquently, Ricco smiled and said, "You have a mole on your chest..."

In an instant, Ariah's face turned pale.

How did he know about such a private matter??

Could it be...

Wait, something seemed to be wrong!

Those thoughts left Ariah's mind in a mess. After she zoned out for a few seconds, she forced herself to calm down as she uttered, "Even if things were as ambiguous as you said, it is still my own body, and I clearly know whether I had an affair with you. I don't feel anything on my body, so why did you lie to me?"

"Because..." After Ricco stared at her for two seconds, he smiled and said, "It's because it seems fun to tease you, so I wanted to see how you would react when you're panicking!"

"You..."

At that moment, Ariah really wanted to beat him up.

Instantly, Ricco's wide palm pressed down on her shoulder, as he said in a slightly low voice, "Stay where you are and don't move. Are you trying to rip your wounds apart again?"

However, Ariah slapped him with her hand that was free to move around. "Don't touch me!"

Since this b*stard was deliberately lying to her, Ariah didn't have to put on a good act for him.

"Is this how you treat your lifesaver?" Lazily, Ricco pulled over a chair and sat down.

After Ariah took a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down. "Didn't you leave last night? Why were you still at my house when I woke up the next day? And why were you sleeping on my bed?"

In fact, Ricco did leave her house the night before, but he went back later. When he went back, he found that she was alone at home, trying to get herself drunk. The coffee table was full of empty bottles, and she was wasted.

At that time, Ricco even thought that she was smart because she knew that it would be dangerous for a beautiful woman like her to go to the bar alone, so she bought wine to enjoy alone at home.

Although it was very safe, it was also very boring.

Since he had nothing to do, so he sat on the sofa and stayed with her. Then, he took the remaining wine and drank with her.

As they had their wine, Ariah began to hug him and started crying. While she cried, she even called out Jimmy's name.

"The door of my house has a special security system. How did you get in without the key?" Suspiciously, Ariah asked.

However, Ricco gave her a faint look and answered, "Of course I have my own way. There is nowhere that I can't go."

Tsk.

Why did he have to be so full of himself?

At that moment, Ariah didn't believe what he said at all, but she also couldn't figure out how did he enter her house. It made her wondered if it was time to change to a better lock.

The two of them had been talking for a long time, and Ariah was afraid that Sharon would be worried, so she immediately drove him away, "I want to rest, so please leave. Even if you saved my life once, you can't stop me from trying to rest now, right?"

After Ariah said those words, Ricco didn't get up. In fact, he kept staring at her face as if he didn't hear what she said.

As Ariah frowned, she asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Why did you take the bullet for me?"

Finally, he asked that question.

With her arms spread, Ariah answered, "You too, saved me back then, didn't you?"

"Was that really the case?" With his sharp eyes, it almost made it hard for her to catch her breath.

After Ariah licked her lips, she nodded, "Of course, or else why do you think I would do that?"

Then, Ricco got up and smiled. "No matter what is the reason, you still took a bullet for me, so I now owe you a favor." Suddenly, he paused, then continued, "It's not easy for me to owe someone a favor. You are very lucky."

Those words left Ariah speechless.

She had never seen such an arrogant man before.

Just as Ricco was about to open the door, he thought of something and looked back at her. "Is Jimmy your ex- husband? Are you both divorced?"

Instantly, Ariah narrowed her eyes and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious." With a sneer, he answered, "I thought you took the bullet for me because you were afraid that your ex-husband would be a killer. After all, your ex-husband is a policeman. If he pulled the trigger at civilian, I bet you know better than me about how serious the consequences would be."
