Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 586

It had been a while since Ariah last saw Sharon and her family, so she shrugged and let Howard send the message to Stanley.

After breakfast, Howard was getting ready to go back to work, and Ariah followed behind him leisurely.

"Why are you following me? Go back and take care of your husband." Howard eyed her suspiciously.

"Didn't you say that he will have a lot of visitors today? His ward must be jam-packed with people. Besides, there is a nurse in charge of his ward round the clock. I don't worry about him, and I'm not interested in socializing either."

She didn't know any of the visitors, and she irked at the idea that she had to greet and socialize with them with a smiley face.

Furthermore, Jimmy's parents would definitely come over later. She would rather wander outside for a while than to be in the awkward situation.

"Let's go to your office, Dr. Perkins." Ariah followed him. "I haven't seen your office yet. I want to go and have a look." "Hey, what do you think you're doing..."

Before Howard could finish, she had already strode ahead of him.

In the ward.

After seeing the last group of visitors out the door, David came back into the ward only to see Jimmy slam the book in his hand and snap, "Get me the nurse."

David jumped in shock. "What's wrong, Captain?"

"I want to change a ward." Jimmy grimaced annoyingly.

David knew that Jimmy didn't like the superficial socialization in the officialdom. Ironically, some of the people who came to visit him liked publicity, and they even brought a photographer along to take pictures of them visiting their injured subordinates. To jimmy, all this was nothing but a show.

Had it not been for the sake of Director Sherlock, Jimmy would have lost his temper long ago.

"I think that's it for today." David pointed to the fruit baskets all over the floor in the room. "Whoa. There's not even any space for me to walk here."

Jimmy frowned. "Throw them all away."

"What? It's a pity to just throw them away. Why don't we give them to someone else?" "It's up to you." Jimmy picked up his phone, looked at it, and furrowed his brows. Ariah had been away for so long, so why hadn't she returned yet?

He found her number and called her.

Suddenly, a ringtone resonated from the drawer.

"Bring it here."

David took out the cell phone from the drawer and handed it to him. "This is Ariah's phone, right?"

Jimmy hung up the phone and stood up, ready to go out. David frantically stopped him. "Captain, what are you doing? The doctor asked you to have a rest!"

At this moment, the door of the ward was opened. Ella gasped when she saw the scene and quickly ran over. "Son, why did you get out of bed?"

She helped Jimmy back to the bed and blurted, "You just did a surgery yesterday, so you should rest. Listen to me. Lie down!"

"I'm fine..." Jimmy massaged his forehead as he said.

"Nonsense! You've been shot! How can you say you're fine? You take me for a fool, don't you?"

"How dare I take you, the clever and brilliant Mrs. Ella Hudson, for a fool? I know how I feel though. I'm injured, not disabled."

Ella rolled her eyes at him. "Shut it!"

Jimmy shrugged.

"Lie down and rest. You can just call the nurse if you need anything. I've brought you something to eat. Have some."

Jimmy said blandly, "Take it back, please."

"Why? Have you eaten?"

Jimmy sat back without any change of expression. "Of course, not. You are my mother. I won't hurt you, but I can't let my wife feel wronged either." "B*stard! I did it for you. You were shot because you gave her your bulletproof vest, weren't you?" Ella rebuked furiously. "So what if I slapped her? I didn't hit her that hard anyway. You... you pissed me off!"

"She's my wife. She was with me on a mission, so of course I would protect her when there was danger. No one wanted this to happen. You're sad, but she's even sadder."

Jimmy emphasized word by word, "If it weren't for her help this time, I might have been in greater danger in the future. She helped me solve a big case. If she hadn't been with me this time to help me find out the flaws of the arrestee, I could have faced a greater threat in the future!"

No one had noticed that the man was an impostor besides the meticulous Ariah.

Upon hearing that, Ella was astounded by Jimmy's gaze. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

After a long time, she cleared her throat and insinuated, "She's not as extraordinary as you said. If she can help you solve the case, why do you need so many policemen? You're just deliberately putting in a good word for her just to make me feel guilty..."

David hurriedly interjected, "Mrs. Hudson, Captain is right. I was there yesterday. Thanks to Ariah's sharp observation, she helped us a lot. After we informed Director Sherlock about this matter, he, too, said that he would like to thank her personally someday!"

Ella was surprised. Director Sherlock and Mack went way back, so she was quite familiar with him. He was a man of complete integrity who kept his word.

Even the director thought that Ariah had done him a great favor. What they said must be true then.

Now, she regretted being too impulsive yesterday, but she still said stubbornly, "Everyone gets lucky sometimes. And here you are, treating her like some kind of powerful deity!"

Jimmy simply sneered, "David, send my mother off for me. I'm going to rest."

Ella stomped in anger as she knew that he was sending her away because of Ariah. In the end, she gritted her teeth and snarled, "Go live with your wife and forget about your mother, you ungrateful punk!"

After that, she rushed out angrily.

"Captain..."

"Follow her and see her out. Make sure she gets into the car safely. You're good with words. Help me coax her." "Yes, Captain."

David hurriedly chased after her.
