Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 585

Ariah felt her scalp tingle from being stared at by Jimmy, who had a faint smile on his lips. She asked, "W-What?"

"Have you finished washing up?" He sat up from the bed.

"Yes." Ariah nodded.

"Ok. My turn," Jimmy said and got out of bed. Seeing her standing still, he raised his eyebrows. "Come here and give me a hand, will you?"

Ariah had no choice but to go over and help him up.

Placing his hand on her shoulder, he leaned half of his weight onto her. Ariah helped him into the bathroom and then immediately turned to leave as she said, "Go wash up, I'll go..."

"Stop right there."

"What is it?"

Jimmy leaned against the washstand. "Come here."

There he was with his antics again! Ariah glared at him. "What do you want?"

Jimmy said lazily, "Your husband's hand is injured, and he can't move half of his body. Don't you think it's insensitive of you to leave just like that?" "What do you want me to do then?"

"Help me."

"How?"

The grin on Jimmy's face grew bigger. He looked down and said, "Take off my pants. I need to take a leak."

An awkward silence in the bathroom.

He was such a shameless brute!

Her eyes widened in shock.

Jimmy's arm was wrapped in gauze and hung beside his body like a stick as if it couldn't move at all. "Didn't you hear me? Come here and help me. Come on."

Abruptly, Ariah came back to her senses. "Your other arm is okay. Why do you need my help?"

"It's inconvenient."

Ariah felt speechless hearing that.

"Hurry up, or I'll pee in my pants." Jimmy frowned.

With resignation, Ariah ran over in disgust to help him unbutton his pants. Skeptically, she asked, "You're lying, right? Your left hand is always nimble. Why is it inconvenient now?"

Ariah snorted once she was done, "Happy now? Hurry and finish your business. I'm heading out..."

"Don't go."

"What now? Do you need a company to take a leak?"

Dumbfounded, Ariah thought she must have misheard him.

Jimmy grinned evilly. "I'm not used to it without you by my side..."

Knowing that he said it on purpose, Ariah gave him a light slap, her face as red as a tomato. "Just pee!"

She ran out after slapping him and quickly drank two glasses of water to calm herself down. Suddenly, she remembered what the nurse had told her earlier about the visitors and quickly went to the door.

The group of people outside the door had fruit baskets and flowers in their hands.

Director Sherlock was one among them. Seeing Ariah come out, he cleared his throat. "Hi, Ariah, is Jimmy awake?"

Everyone sized her up, but she pretended not to notice their gazes and invited them in. "Director Sherlock, please come in and have a seat. Jimmy is up. He's in the bathroom washing up."

A band of people entered the ward, with fresh flowers and fruit baskets placed all over the floor.

The sound of flowing water came from the bathroom. Director Sherlock frowned as he glanced at the bathroom. "Doesn't he have to keep his bandage dry? His shoulder is injured. It must be a hassle for him to wash his face and brush his teeth."

"Well..."

"Ariah, don't worry about us. We're not important. What's important is Jimmy. Quick, go in and help him lest his wound opened again."

"He can do it by myself..."

"No, he can't. Hurry and have a look. It'll be troublesome his wound got torn apart and bleed again."

"Yes, Director Sherlock is right. Go in and have a look."

Meanwhile, the group of people standing by the side echoed and nodded repeatedly.

Just like that, she was reluctantly turfed back into the bathroom, feeling that they made a big fuss about it.

At the cafeteria, she planned to eat breakfast and then bring some food back for Jimmy.

As soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, she bumped into Howard.

Howard raised an eyebrow and walked towards her. "Hey, what a coincidence." "Yeah right." Ariah rolled her eyes at him.

"Jimmy was so unlucky that he married you. What are you always against me? You do it on purpose, don't you?"

"Oh, so you know."

"You..." Howard took a deep breath. "Never mind. A gentleman doesn't argue with women."

Snorting, Ariah found an empty spot to sit down and ordered lazily, "Get me some mashed potatoes."

Howard rolled his eyes. "That's all you eat?"

"I'll get more if I'm not full."

He muttered to himself as he walked away. Not long after, he walked back with a food tray in his hand. "Eating mashed potatoes alone for breakfast is not healthy. Have some salad, eggs, and milk."

Glancing at him quietly, Ariah picked up the milk and started drinking it.

Howard took a bite of his sandwich. "When will Jimmy be available? I'll visit him when his visitors are gone."

"You know about it?"

"How can I not know after such a huge commotion? Even the director was alerted, and the cars of the general directors and ministers came one after another today. They are all important officials. I bet the hospital wants to hire armed police to guard him."

Ariah was taken aback. She had no idea that the men whom she opened the door for were so important.

She thought that Director Sherlock was the only one with a high rank...

"Jimmy was injured on duty. His superior would certainly send someone important to visit him. He must be busy today with countless visitors, so I won't bother him. I'll see him after he's done meeting the higher-ups."

Speaking of this, Howard took his phone out, typed a message, and sent it out.

"Who did you send the message to?" Ariah glanced at him and asked.

"Stanley. Only a handful of people know about Jimmy's injury since it has not been reported publicly yet. I'd better tell him now, or he'll nag me."
