Immediately, Stanley strode over and picked Sadie up, and comforted her softly. Meanwhile, Sadie wrapped her arms around his neck and gradually stopped crying when she heard his words.
Besides, she had never seen such an angry Jimmy. All this time, Jimmy had always put on a smile in front of them. Now that he suddenly got so angry, how could a little girl like her not be terrified?
At that moment, Stanley handed Sadie over to Sharon, who had been trailing behind him. With a sneer, he pulled Jimmy's arm and threw him aside, as he warned him in a low voice, "Do you want more injuries on your face? What did Sadie do to make you scare her? Is this what you're capable of? As a grown man, you did not solve the problem, and you even lose your temper in front of Ariah and children to show your prestige?"
When Jimmy heard Stanley's words, he clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were popping. As he glared at Ariah, his eyes gradually turned red, which made him look terrifying and appalling.
Ariah!
Well, everything seemed to be going smoothly for her!
"Jimmy, if you dare to act foolishly today, I definitely will not let you go!" In anger, Stanley berated him.
At that moment, Ariah's face was pale, and her voice was trembling so much that it was difficult for her to finish a sentence. "Stanley, please, I beg you to chase him out. I don't want to see him. He's a lunatic!"
As soon as she finished her words, something in Jimmy's eyes instantly disappeared. A moment later, he retracted his gaze and sneered. Then, he turned around and left.
There was merely any emotion in his eyes when he left.
Meanwhile, Ariah's heart shriveled in pain when she saw his final glance. At that moment, she could no longer hold back her tears, and her eyes turned red, but she could not let herself cry when there were so many people in the room.
The last pride she had did not allow her to do so.
After Ariah took a deep breath, she tried very hard to force a smile and apologized, "Sharon, I'm sorry to scare your precious daughter. I didn't know that b*stard would suddenly lose his temper like a lunatic, which ended up scaring your precious children."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the two children. "When I recover, I will give the both of you an apology by buying you whatever that you want, okay?"
With a sigh, Seamus said, "Aunt Ariah, your smile looks uglier than crying. Earlier it was just that Sadie was not used to seeing Uncle Jimmy acting like that. Look at her now. It's like nothing has happened. Don't worry about her."
Those words made Ariah's smile freeze.
Then, Sharon added, "Ariah, don't think too much about it. Sadie has always been nitwitted, and it will only take a meal for her to forget everything that happened earlier, so she'll be okay."
When Ariah heard those words, she nodded her head, but her face still didn't look good.
Although Sharon wanted to ask her what had happened, when she saw her in that state, she couldn't bring herself to say anything else.
In the end, the doctor finally came over and examined Ariah. With a frown, he reminded, "If you still want to keep this arm of yours, it's best if you have a good rest. Don't move too much. Take care of yourself, or else who'll take responsibility if anything happens?"
Meanwhile, Ariah was in a daze as if her soul had left her body. That scene made Sharon feel bad for her, who was in such a state, so she promised the doctor that there would be no more problems as she helped Ariah lie down to rest.
After Sharon sent the doctor off, she pulled Stanley aside and whispered, "Someone will have to stay here and take care of her tonight, so I'll stay here while you take the children home to rest."
Immediately, Stanley frowned, "No way!"
"Why not?"
"You should go home and rest." It was extremely torturous to take care of a patient because it would make someone tensed up and mentally tired.
"Then will you be taking care of Ariah if I were to take the kids home?" At that moment, Sharon glanced at him. "Jimmy definitely can't come over to take care of her, or else the both of them might start a fight again."
With his brows still tightly furrowed, Stanley suggested, "We can hire a nanny..."
"Will the nanny be as considerate as I am? I don't care. Even if you are against it, I will still stay here to look after her. When you disappeared four years ago, I almost collapsed, and in the first six months, Ariah has always been by my side, taking care of me. If I don't take care of her now, I would be sent to hell."
After Stanley stared at her for a long time, he finally let out a sigh of relief, "If I were to go against it, I would be sent to hell too."
Only now did Sharon smile.
When they were about to head home that night, the two children were reluctant to part with Sharon. However, she told them that Ariah needed someone to look after her, so they obediently followed Stanley back home.
