Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 496

When Ariah woke up, her stomach hurt a lot. Then, a nervous voice rang beside her. "Nurse, she's awake!"

Opening her eyes in a daze, she saw doctors and nurses rushing in to check her body.

Suddenly, one of the doctors pressed her somewhere and she passed out in agony. Before she fainted, she heard Jimmy roar, "Where did you touch her? Why is she fainting again?"

The doctor swallowed and replied, "I'm assessing her neurologic response using pain. The more pain she is in, the better her condition is..."

"Bullsh*t! She's so painful that she passed out already!"

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the doctor reverted, "Please calm down..."

At the same time, Ben stood up and interrupted in a trembling voice, "Capt., the doctor's right."

Jimmy was speechless.

Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions, then beckoned the doctor to go out.

The doctors filed out one after another, whereas

Jimmy slumped down on the chair, staring at Ariah who was on the hospital bed.

Her face was as white as a sheet.

Jimmy's heart ached to see that.

He was determined to protect her. Yet, he still hurt her.

"I shouldn't have lost my temper just now." Jimmy sighed. "I'll apologize to the doctors later."

Ben couldn't help grinning at his words. Then, thinking of something, he said, "Capt., Anna woke up. She's been asking to see you..."

"I'm not going!"

Jimmy refused without a second thought.

"But she looks very agitated, and the doctor said that she's not in a good state. Are you sure you really don't wanna see her?"

"If she's in a bad state, go look for a doctor." Jimmy didn't even change his tone. "It's not like I can cure her."

Ben didn't know what else to say.

Knowing that Jimmy's mind was wholely on his wife, he nodded and said, "Capt., take care. I'm heading back to the police department now." "Okay."

When Ariah woke up again, she felt much better.

She didn't sense as much pain as before. It was just that her chest was feeling quite heavy, as if there was a big rock on it.

Looking down, she almost jumped up from the bed.

Half of Jimmy's body was on her, thus it was difficult for her to breathe.

Annoyed, she pushed him away and let him fell off with a loud thud.

When Jimmy got up, his face was darkened, and he stared at her squarely. Then, he raised his hand.

Seeing that, Ariah shrank away and warned, "I'll scream for help if you hit me!"

She bet that he wouldn't dare to act recklessly since they were in a hospital.

As expected, Jimmy paused, but then his hand continued to land.

Ariah was so scared that she almost screamed out, "Jimmy, how could you hit me? You were the one who lay on me first and made me hard to breathe, so I could only push you away..." However, Jimmy was just pulling the quilt up to cover her shoulders.

Ariah was stunned as she thought that he was going to teach her a lesson.

Then, with a playful look, he bent down and whispered, "Well, I'm your husband. Is there anything wrong with laying on top of you?"

Bah!

Despite being thick-skinned usually, Ariah still blushed at his words,

However, Jimmy stopped teasing her and stood up, saying, "The doctor said that you should be fine upon waking up. And if you still feel little pain, it's normal."

While he said that, Ariah noticed that he was unshaven and his eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles under his eyes. Apparently, he had been staying with her for the whole night. Meanwhile, Jimmy sat back down again. His gaze was fixed on her face.

Ariah frowned, then looked away, but his gaze was too intense, which made her nervous.

"Excuse me, I would like to rest!" Being looked at by him like this, she couldn't fall asleep at all!

"Don't worry. I won't make a sound."

Ariah didn't know what to say.

His gaze was even more bothering than any noise!

"Get out of here!"

Jimmy chuckled. "Don't think about it."

Oh, so did he mean that he wasn't going to leave then? Ariah held back her anger. "Okay, what do you want?"

Tapping his knee, Jimmy just sat there quietly. After a while, he finally said, "Never mind. I'll tell you when you recover. Now, rest."

Tsk.

Ariah ignored him and tried to sleep.

Although she had thought that she would not be able to fall asleep under his intense gaze, surprisingly, as the clock ticked away, she slowly closed her eyes.

Later, when she woke up again, she heard a light noise. But this time, she slept very well.

Turning her head, she saw Jimmy talking to a doctor. Their voices were so soft that she couldn't hearthem clearly.

Just then, Jimmy noticed that she had woken up and sent the doctor away, then came to her and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ariah was indeed a little hungry, so she nodded.

Chuckling, Jimmy took out his phone and said, "Hang on, I'll ask someone to bring something to eat."

Ariah said nothing and stretched a little.

"Do you want to sit up?" Jimmy supposed that she must be uncomfortable after lying for a long time.

Hearing that, Ariah muttered, "Are you a mind reader..."

Her voice was very soft, but Jimmy still overheard it and stroked her head. He was quite gentle, though his face didn't look like it. "Stop joking!"

After helping her up, he went straight to the point and said, "Do you know who's the doctor that I was talking to just now?"

"Nope." Ariah shook her head honestly. "Is it not my attending physician?"

"Nah. Your injury is getting better. You're only feeling a bit painful now because Kevin kicked you a little hard." Jimmy then narrowed his gaze. "The doctor I spoke to just now is someone who specializes in hypnotism."

Ariah looked up at him. "So?"

"Well, the doctor told me that a hypnotized person would always be under control. So if Kevin hypnotized you, you would naturally do what he said and kill me. But back then, you didn't kill me and stabbed him instead, which should be impossible."

With a shrug, Ariah replied, "Well, isn't the answer clear? I wasn't hypnotized..."

"Impossible." Suddenly, Jimmy's handsome face loomed over her. Being surrounded by his aura, she was forced to lean back.

Then, she heard him continue, "At that time, no matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up at all. It's like you don't know me... Also, I can see that something was wrong with you back then."

But Ariah only felt difficult to breathe now. He was getting too close, and her breath was filled with his smell. Feeling unease, she turned her face away. "Can you stay away from me..."
