Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 451

As the door was pulled open, Ariah turned her head and saw Ricco holding a drugstore bag in his hand, which was filled with some gauze and medication to relieve inflammation and stop bleeding.

"You are still here?"

After he closed the door, he looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Why didn't you run away like how you did on the mountain?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in his words, Ariah looked straight at him, "What's going on? Were those people really looking for me?"

"How did you know?"

"When I was held hostage by him, he asked me whether I was called Ariah. He actually knew my name and even said that I was the one he was looking for... He didn't mention you, nor did he directly rush toward you. His goal seemed to be very clear."

Then, Ariah pursed her lips and said, "I don't know those two people. I've never seen them or heard their voices. I haven't gotten into a feud with anyone, so why would I become their target?"

Her mind was in tumult, as she could not figure out the reasons behind those happenings.

"Who the hell are you? What on earth is your identity?" Ariah looked at him in confusion, "I thought you were a bad person and wanted to do something to me, but you didn't really hurt me along the way. Instead, it was you who killed the bad guys."

The more Ariah thought about it, the more she felt Ricco had forcefully brought her out to protect her. "Those bad guys know my name and my identity. They must even know my home address. Did you bring me out first because you didn't want me to come into contact with them? Was it because you wanted to protect me?"

That thought shocked Ariah. Ricco didn't want to hurt her, but to protect her?

This was unbelievable!

But after she finished speaking, she did not get Ricco's response for a long time.

There was no light in the car. She opened her eyes wide, hoping to see his surprised expression, but there was no expression at all on his face.

The uncertainties unsettled her. Did that mean that what she had said was right?

Who was Ricco, actually? Why did he want to protect him?

"Raise your head."

Just then, Ricco took out the medicine he bought from the bag and looked up at her. "What are you thinking?"

Then, he raised her chin and leaned over. "Don't move!"

As Ariah's body tensed up, she remained motionless until he touched her injury, which caused her to take a deep breath.

"Be gentle!"

In spite of the pain, she knew that it was necessary to apply medication on her injury to prevent inflammation. Gritting her teeth, she said, "It hurts!"

"Big trouble!"

Although his words were harsh, his movement had indeed become much gentler.

Because he was applying medication to her, the two of them were very close to each other. Ricco's scent mingled with the odor of cigarettes wafted over her, which made her think of Jimmy.

Jimmy...

If she was not mistaken, he must have found out that she was missing now. However, she didn't bring her mobile phone, so how was he going to look for her?

Although Jimmy was a policeman, how was he going to look for her with no clues available?

Ariah couldn't help but worry.

"What happened to the left of your neck? Why is there a scar?"

Retracting her thoughts, she saw that he was sitting properly. Knowing that the medication had been applied, Ariah touched her neck, which had seemed to be bandaged like a doctor.

"Oh, I used to scratch my neck some time ago. The scar is always there," she said coldly.

Of course, she did not admit that it was caused by herself when she used a knife to threaten Jimmy when they had an argument some time ago.

That rendered Ricco speechless.

Ignoring the way he looked at her as if he was a lunatic, Ariah cleared her throat and said, "You haven't answered my question..."
