It was Jimmy who hit the car!
He was anxious then and only wanted Ariah to stop and listen to his explanation. However, Ariah didn't want to give him a chance.
In a hurry, he accelerated the car without thinking about the consequences. However, the cab in front finally stopped.
Due to the incident, the traffic was temporarily paralyzed.
When Ariah was pulled out of the car by Jimmy, she stared at him in disbelief. "Jimmy, do you know what you're doing?"
How could he act so recklessly?
There was a big gash on his forehead, to which blood was oozing out. Soon, both his face and his clothes were stained with blood.
But Jimmy didn't notice it at all. Instead, he clutched Ariah's hand tightly and said, "Don't go!"
Being drunk and injured now, he felt very dizzy and was close to fainting.
Therefore, his grip on Ariah grew tighter.
At the same time, some passersby called the police, while others gathered around and looked at
them.
Their gaze landed on Jimmy who was covered in blood.
Ariah didn't know why Jimmy did this. She had already seen him cheated on her with her own eyes, so what was the point of him acting like this now?
Staring at him, she asked again, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I wanna explain."
"You wanna explain? Alright, go ahead."
"I... I didn't..."
Jimmy felt as if his words were glued to his throat because he couldn't even be sure if he hadn't done those things last night!
Eventually, Ariah was impatient and broke away from his grip with a sneer. "Tsk, you can go back now. We're already divorced so you're free to be with anyone else."
Then, she turned around and left.
"Don't go!"
Jimmy wanted to chase after her but suddenly he blacked out and fell straight down.
Before he fainted, he saw Ariah running towards him in a panic and his lips curled into a smile. After all, she still cared about him.
When Jimmy woke up again, the first thing he saw was the white-washed ceiling of the ward. Then, he could smell the disinfectant.
Thinking of what had happened, he immediately got up but his vision abruptly went dark, so he had to sit and wait for the dizziness to pass.
"You're in the hospital now."
Howard tugged his hands into the pockets of his white coat and stood by the side, looking at him.
