Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 739

Jimmy's expression changed as soon as he heard that Ariah once had a crush on Kobi. He clenched the steering wheel tight and sneered.

When he heard her say that Kobi even bled for her, he was even more annoyed and hissed, "No wonder he's the one you want to marry. It turns out that he is so important, huh?"

Looking at his expressionless face, Ariah felt helpless.

Back in high school, she did tell Hailee that she wanted to marry Kobi when she grew up, but it was because she thought that the man who saved her at that time was Kobi.

This had always been a secret she kept to herself. But now, she realized that she should open up with Jimmy. Otherwise, he would always be bothered about this.

Upon making that decision, Ariah finally said, "Jimmy, do you know that we met before we got married?"

Instantly, he glanced at her in surprise. "Really? When?"

As expected, he didn't remember that.

He probably already forgot that he had once saved her.

"We met once when I was in the 11th grade. Don't you remember at all?"

Jimmy frowned. "No. Where did we meet?"

She had seen him when they were young?

Why hadn't she mentioned this for so many years? Hesitantly, Ariah explained, "It wasn't just the two of us though. There were other people too, so it's understandable if you don't remember it at

all."

However, she didn't want to tell him the fact that he had saved her before but then she mixed him up with Kobi.

And she even fell in love with the wrong man.

That was just embarassing.

Jimmy turned to give her a strange look, wanting to say something. Just as Ariah grew uncomfortable under his gaze and wanted to tell him to stop looking, she saw a car coming at them and her face turned pale.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, she screamed in fear.

Without looking back, Jimmy heard the screeching of car tyres and the first thing that came to his mind was Ariah's safety because the passenger riding in the passenger's seat was more at risk of injury compared to the driver.

And he didn't want anything to happen to her!

Quickly, he wrapped Ariah tightly into his arms.

Bang!

They crashed.

At the same time, the windshield was shattered into pieces and Ariah could feel her organs seemed to have shifted out of place. Instantly, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

When everything stopped, Ariah reached out to touch Jimmy, who was lying next to her dead still, and her fingers were coated with his blood.

"Jimmy..."

She let out a weak cry, but still, Jimmy didn't move or speak. Seeing that, she was surrounded in fear.

In the hospital-

Sharon had been coming here every day. Three days ago, she got the news that Ariah and Jimmy had gotten into a car accident. When she first heard the news, she almost fainted.

Then, she remembered that Ariah was still pregnant...

Nevertheless, she quickly rushed to the hospital with Stanley.

After Ariah came out of the examination, the doctor sighed and said, "Miss Myers is very lucky. It was a miracle that she wasn't injured badly from such a serious car crash."

Indeed, it was a miracle.

Hurriedly, Sharon asked, "What about the baby?"

"The baby's fine too, but..."

"But what?"

"Miss Myers's mood has been a little unstable and she's been waiting outside of the operating room. However, she should be getting a proper rest..."

Upon learning that Ariah was fine, Sharon was relieved and then she went to see Ariah, whereas Stanley proceeded to inform the Hudson Family about the car accident.

Coming close to the operating room, she saw that Ariah was sitting outside the room alone staring at the door blankly.

Then, Sharon noticed the haggard look on Ariah's face and felt a stab of pain in her heart.

"Ariah..."

When Ariah saw Sharon, she burst into tears right away. "Jimmy's still in the operating room and I don't know if he's doing okay."

"Don't worry. I'm sure he'll survive this." Sharon held her hand.

Meanwhile, Ariah looked down and saw that her hands were shaking faintly.

She had never been so frightened. It was as if she was gonna lose Jimmy at any time.

As time ticked by, she grew a little cold.

"Sharon, I'm regretting it now." Suddenly, she muttered to herself.

Hearing that, Sharon didn't know how to comfort her and just said, "Ariah, don't say this..."

"I was mad at him that he never discussed anything with me prior to making a decision and he even disappeared for a whole month."

"That few weeks when he went missing were the most insecure time for me and I had been thinking a lot."

"After he came back, all my insecureness turned into anger and I vented it on him by treating him coldly and ignoring him. Somehow, it was satisfying to see him getting anxious at how I treated him."

"I even had the thought of testing him to see how long he could stand it. I wanted to see how much he can sacrifice for me."

But today, Ariah finally understood that Jimmy could sacrifice everything for her, even his life.

He didn't hesitate in the slightest bit to protect her.

This was what he wanted to show her—the sense of security she mentioned to him earlier.

And there were no men who would prove this with their life like he did.

Tears streamed down Ariah's face as she spoke.

"If I had known what would happen today, I wouldn't have ignored him for so long. Now, if he really dies, all he carries to the other side of the world is the bitterness of how I'd ignored him..."

"Oh lord, I should have forgiven him earlier. It's so ridiculous that I prolonged the fight until now, like a child, when he was being tolerant of me unconditionally..."

In the end, Ariah couldn't hold it anymore and covered her face, sobbing hard. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ariah..."

Sharon hugged her and began to cry as well.

The two were crying their hearts out when Stanley came over, to which he was shocked and immediately asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Hearing his voice, Sharon waved her hand at him, indicating that they were fine before explaining, "Ariah is very worried about Jimmy..."

"Don't worry. The surgery is done now." Stanley pulled Sharon up and wiped her tears. Then, he looked at Ariah and reassured, "Jimmy is fine. The

surgery is very successful."

As soon as he said that, the door of the operating room was pushed open and a doctor came out. Although Ariah felt slightly relieved, when she saw the doctor walking towards her, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Quickly, she stood up. The doctor smiled at her and gave her an encouraging look. "Your husband's operation went well."

Hearing that, only then did Ariah relax completely.
