Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 620

Jimmy glanced at her and let go of Ariah, who immediately ran the bathroom.

It was after some time when she finally came out of the bathroom, and she was shocked to see Jimmy sitting in the living room. "Oh, y-you are still here."

She thought he had left, but out, but surprisingly he was having a smoke here.

As he snuffed the cigarette, he looked at her with a frown. "Go and change your clothes!"

The bathrobe on her made him feel cold.

His words pulled her back to reality. Since it was indeed a little cold, she hurried back to her bedroom and changed into a warm outfit.

As she changed, she thought why Jimmy was still here? Was he going to send her to the hospital?

Or did he have anything to tell her?

After she changed her clothes, she found him waiting for her outside the bedroom.

In a very direct manner, he said, "Do you want to know the story between Nicole and me?"

Ariah was happy to hear that he was ready to share the past.

"Do you want to know it?"

"Yes!"

Jimmy thus smiled and said, "Nicole grew up with me. We went to primary school and high school together. Although we then studied at different high schools, we were still close to each other as we lived very close to each other."

Traces of uneasiness started seeping through Ariah's heart. "So, she's your childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, to a certain extent." Jimmy nodded.

Ariah thus got a little jealous. "Did she like you?"

Glancing at her, he nodded. "Yes."

Upon hearing that, Ariah pulled at her clothes and lowered her head silently.

Just then, he moved forward, casting his shadow upon her. "You haven't asked me whether I liked her."

Since they were childhood sweethearts., did Ariah still need to ask his feelings for Nicole?

Ariah snorted, "Why do you ask that question?"

She knew she would not be in a good mood upon knowing the answer, so should she still ask him about that?

"Let me tell you something: I didn't like her." Raising her head abruptly, she stared at him with a pair of sparkling eyes, "What did you just say?"

"I didn't like her. At that time, I was thinking about how to be a policeman, so I didn't have time to think about love affairs."

"Really?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows.

Ariah thought for a moment. There was indeed no need for him to lie to her, so she soon dismissed her suspicion.

"Then... where's Nicole now?" she asked again.

"She's missing," Jimmy replied indifferently.

Ariah was silent. Was that what Kobi meant? Had Jimmy been secretly looking for Nicole for so many years because of this?

"What's going on? How could she be missing?"

"She was a policewoman. When I was on an undercover mission, she took the initiative to support me. She lurked beside a drug dealer, but her identity was unfortunately exposed, and the man threatened to kill her." Jimmy told her about the terrifying incident of that year in a brief manner.

Shocked, she continued asking, What happened after that?"

"I didn't manage to save her."

His few words were imbued with helplessness and regret.

"I'm sorry..."

Ariah felt a little guilty for having asked such sensitive questions.

Shaking his head, he replied, "I'm fine." After a pause, he continued, "Everyone thought she was dead, but I believe she must still be alive somewhere."

Everyone said that she had died because he failed to save her.

However, he would never accept the fact before her dead body was found.

He was determined to find her and give the Hart Family an explanation.

"What is it?"

"When I inquired about Kevin in Mathines, I found out that five years ago, he had been burned by fire and was receiving treatment in a hospital. Less than a month later, he moved out of the hospital. I can't find out where he went to after that."

Since Stanley had called Jimmy personally, he must have something important to share. It would definitely not just be about Kevin.

Therefore, Jimmy patiently waited for Stanley's next words.

Sure enough, after a short pause, Stanley spoke again, "When Kevin was hospitalized, I found records of Kobi's payment for the medicine."

Just a few words, Jimmy's pupils contracted in an instant.

As he tightened his grip on his phone, he lowered his voice. "Are you sure?"

"The medical expenses are recorded in the same account, and the owner of that account is Kobi."

That was to say that Kobi had something to do with Kevin a long time ago.

Disbelief was written all over Jimmy's face.

It was a few hours later that Ariah learned out about Emily's disappearance.

When she came back from the canteen, her cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and found that it was a strange number.

"Hello?" She answered the phone with suspicion. She thought it was a patient's number, which she forgot to save.

"Ariah, it's me."

To her surprise, the person on the other side of the phone was Mack.

Ariah was stunned for a moment before she quickly asked, "Why did you call me? Is there something wrong?"

Mack had never called her in private unless there was something serious. If he had an important piece of information, he would directly inform

Jimmy, who would then share it with her.

"Something happened not long ago."

Following a sigh, Mack said, "Ariah, Emily is missing."
