Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 487

Howard rushed to the hospital early in the morning. When he pushed open the door of the ward, Jimmy was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, you!" Howard called a nurse who just came out of the ward round and asked, "Where's the patient in this room?"

The young nurse was in charge of the VIP wards on this floor. Since the patients on this floor were all important figures, the nurses were more concerned about it. "Dr. Perkins, the patient in this room was discharged this morning. I thought you know that since you two are friends..."

Howard was speechless for a while. When Jimmy was sent to the hospital, he was the one who organized everything, so naturally, everyone knew that they were friends. Yet, upon being discharged, Jimmy wasn't bothered to inform him, thus making him a little awkward now.

"Ahem. Of course, I know. I just forgot it because I was too busy."

After saying that, Howard turned around and left. As he walked, he picked up his phone to call Jimmy, but no one answered it.

Right now, Jimmy didn't want to talk to Howard, so seeing Howard's call coming, he just ignored it.

Coming out of the hospital this morning, he wanted to go find Ariah and talk to her. But when he recalled what Director Sherlock had said to him the other day, he decided to suppress his impulse. It wasn't the time to get in touch with Ariah yet. It would be good for her if he acted distantly now.

As for those misunderstandings, he would explain them in the future. Besides, Ariah was probably angry still, so she might not believe him even if he brought the recording to her.

Ah, he should have just asked Anna to do the examination so that he could prove his innocence with the medical record. This way, Ariah should believe that he didn't touch Anna last night... Once arriving home, Jimmy unwrapped the gauze on his head and took a shower.

After that, he made a call to Ben while heading to the police department, but Ben didn't answer his phone.

Jimmy frowned as it was the first time that Ben didn't pick up his call.

Arriving at the police department, Jimmy went straight to his office and pressed the private line. When the secretary came in, without looking up, he said, "Tell Ben and David to come over. There is a case that want them to report on."

"Captain Hudson, they went out early in the morning already," replied the secretary.

Even though Jimmy had been promoted as deputy director a year ago, his colleagues were used to calling him Captain Hudson, which he didn't mind about.

Hearing the secretary's reply, Jimmy frowned. "Both of them went out?"

"Yes."

"For a new case?"

"Well, I'm not sure about this, but I heard Lenny said that Director Sherlock also looked for them this morning."

"Is that so?" Gradually, Jimmy was getting suspicious because both Ben and Edward were his men, and Director Sherlock wouldn't just bypass him and go straight to look for them. "Alright, when they are back, tell them to come and see me."

"Sure."

The secretary then left.

Jimmy pondered for a while, then went back to work. But suddenly, he thought of something and raised his head.

Quickly, he pushed his chair back and walked out with large strides. He was in such a hurry that he bumped into people along the way.

Seeing him losing his composure like this, his colleagues called out to him puzzledly, "Captain Hudson?"

But Jimmy acted as if he didn't hear him and went straight to the office of Director Sherlock. Just as he was about to enter the office, Secretary Cornell immediately stopped him. "Deputy Director Hudson, why are you here?"

"Get out of the way!" Jimmy snapped coldly.

Swallowing hard, Secretary Cornell said, "Uh, you can tell me first. When the director comes back, I will pass it to him..."

"Director Sherlock isn't here?"

"Uh, no. He went out early this morning."

Jimmy's thoughts were in a mess, and he knew there must be something wrong, but he just didn't know what just yet.

Ariah definitely was safe now... because Ben was watching her safety 24/7...

But why didn't Ben pick up his call, though? And why did Director Sherlock look for his men early in the morning?

Jimmy turned around and walked away with a black face. Then, he took out his phone and called Ariah. Although the call went through, no one was answering...

Instantly, his heart sank.

He then dialed the private line of Director Sherlock, but it wasn't answered as well...

Something must have happened!

Otherwise, how could no one pick up his calls?

On the other hand, seeing Jimmy leave, Secretary Cornell sighed and called Director Sherlock. The phone was quickly picked up and Secretary Cornell said directly, "Director Sherlock, Deputy Director Hudson probably knows something already. He just came to see you, but I said you were out."

Hearing that, Director Sherlock sighed and replied, "Alright, I know that he'll find out sooner or later. Well, I'll tell him later."

"Uh, Deputy Director Hudson has gone out now. I don't know where he went."

"He's probably heading to Ariah's after sensing something was wrong."

"Whoa, Director Sherlock, you're genius. How did you guess it?"

"Stop flattering me. Go and organize the information on the 'Beast' and set up a task force. We must take this opportunity to catch him this time!"

"Yes, sir!"

Meanwhile, Jimmy came to Ariah's apartment and knocked on the door desperately. "Ariah, open the door!"

However, no one answered the door. Just as he took a deep breath and prepared to break open the door, Ben's voice came behind him. "Capt., Ariah isn't at home..."

Hearing that, Jimmy turned around and gave him a hard punch.

With his eyes closed, Ben stood still, ready to take the strike. However, Jimmy's fist went past his face and hit the wall behind him.

Ben was frightened.

Jimmy merely looked at him coldly. "Ariah is missing?"

"Yes."

"What's going on?"

Ben then explained, "Capt., I did bring two men with me to protect Ariah secretly, as you'd ordered. But last night, she came out of her apartment to meet Anna downstairs..." "Anna came to see her?" Jimmy frowned and interrupted him. "Why didn't you inform me?"
