Just as Dr. Willis grabbed Anna's hand, Anna quickly broke away from her grip and shouted, "I'm not going!"
Seeing that, Dr. Willis looked hesitant.
Tears began to roll down Anna's face. She bit her lips tightly and asked, "Jimmy, why are you treating me like this? This is humiliating!!"
Jimmy just remained cold. "Nah, I'm just trying to help you here. Didn't you say that we did it last night? Well, I'll marry you if it's true!"
Anna looked at the man in front of her in a daze. She wanted to marry him for all her life, but not in this way.
He was pushing her into a dead end now!
Gazing at him, Anna questioned, "Jimmy, do I really have to do this even if I don't want to?"
"Yes."
He said mercilessly.
Immediately, Anna's face lost its color. On the other hand, Howard gave Dr. Willis a look, to which Dr. Willis understood and then tried to grab Anna again. "Miss Anna..." "Don't touch me!"
After breaking free, Anna took a few steps back. Staring at Jimmy, she finally cried out in despair, "Fine, we... we didn't do it last night. I lied to you. You were so drunk last night, and you couldn't... do it at all. I only took off our clothes so you would think that we had sex..."
After she confessed, Jimmy turned his gaze towards Howard and asked, "Did you record everything she said?"
With an "OK" gesture, Howard replied, "Yep, I did."
Anna was stunned. "Wh-what? Why did you record it?"
Jimmy didn't say anything, and Howard answered for him, "Miss Anna, when you were playing these little tricks, have you ever thought that it would hurt Jimmy's wife? Now that you've caused a misunderstanding between them, so of course, Jimmy needs to prove his innocence with the recording."
Anna's face turned red when she heard the ridicule in his tone. She had never been treated like this before and felt really embarrassed.
With hatred, she turned around and left.
After that, Howard handed the phone to Jimmy. "Here, the recording."
Jimmy played it and made sure that everything had been recorded down before sending it to his phone.
Upon finishing that, he went back to the hospital bed and lay down.
Instantly, Howard raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you worried about explaining it to Ariah? Now that you have evidence, why don't you clarify the confusion?"
However, Jimmy thought that since he already held evidence, there was no need for him to be anxious anymore.
So he just closed his eyes and rested.
Seeing that Jimmy was really going to sleep, Howard just shrugged his shoulders and left.
Later, upon getting off work, Howard drove to Sharon's place to look for Stanley, but he was told that Stanley hadn't returned yet. Nevertheless, he went into the house. Smelling the cooking, he asked, "Sharon, you're cooking dinner?"
"Nah, the helper is cooking. But since it's dinner time, why don't you join us for a meal?" Sharon was surprised that he had come to visit though.
"Sure!"
Howard was indeed hungry. Coming into the apartment, he then passed the gifts to the twins. "Seamus, Sadie, I bought something for you. Come and see whether you like it or not?"
"Yes, I like it!" The moment Sadie saw Howard, she opened her arms for a hug. "Uncle Howard, hugs!"
