As soon as Howard left, the ward quieted down instantly.
Shaking her head, Ariah sighed. Howard was a playboy who would hit on a girl every time he saw one. However, he would mercilessly dump her after making her fall for him.
Why was he hitting on girls if he was not going to marry them?
A man like him should stay single for the rest of his life.
Looking at the expression on Ariah's face, Jimmy knew that she was secretly mocking Howard again. "He's a celibatarian, so he doesn't have any plans to get married. I don't think he'll be able to change his flirty personality."
Pursing her lips, Ariah said, "He'll regret it when he meets someone he really likes."
Stunned for a moment, Jimmy lowered his gaze to look at Ariah.
Back then, he did not expect that he would fall in love with Ariah as well. Love always came at the most unexpected time.
"Where are your two colleagues, David and Ben?
Ask them to come in," Ariah suddenly said.
Frowning, Jimmy asked, "Why do you want to see them?"
Ariah shook her head casually. "Nothing much. I have something to ask them."
"About what happened in the hotel?"
"Yeah."
"I've already figured out the whole situation. If there's anything that you're curious about, you can ask me."
Lifting her blanket, Ariah got out of bed. Seeing that, Jimmy immediately pulled her back onto the bed and said with a frown, "Stay on the bed!"
"Get out of my way!" Ariah was furious. "I understand you want to defend your colleagues, but those bastards set me up and drugged me. If I don't get even with them, I'll eat my hat!"
Ariah caused quite a ruckus. Upon hearing that, Ben and David, who were standing outside the door, trembled.
Sh*t! It seemed like Ariah was furious. They thought they were going to be done for.
Ben and David looked at each other and said, "Should we escape?"
However, they would appear too timid if they did that. It was not manly at all.
"Or should we go in?"
The atmosphere in the ward was already tensed. They might be doomed if they went in right now.
Caught in a dilemma, Ben and David could not think of a solution. In the end, Ben gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as he said. "Screw it! We got nothing to lose!"
With that, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was trying to stop Ariah, who was outraged. Seeing his subordinates coming in, he laughed. "Are you guys trying to get yourselves killed?"
Once Ariah got really mad, even he could not stop her, let alone Ben and David.
Trembling, Ben said, "Ari... Ariah, it's all our fault. We're willing to accept all forms of punishment."
Standing next to Ben, David nodded repeatedly. "Yeah. As long as you're willing to forgive us, we'll do anything."
Pushing away Jimmy, who was hugging her, Ariah snorted, "Whose idea was this?"
"Both of us."
"Is Jimmy involved?"
"No, no. Captain doesn't know anything!"
Ariah pursed her lips, "Then why did Kobi..."
Hearing that, Ben told them everything, from how Kobi picked up Jimmy's phone, how they did not worry too much as Kobi was Jimmy's brother, to how he left the hotel, subsequently causing Kobi to enter Ariah's room and nearly putting Ariah in danger.
After listening to the whole story, Ariah looked at Jimmy. Jimmy nodded, "They're telling you the truth. They won't dare to lie to you."
Ariah frowned.
She had been wondering why did Kobi appear in the hotel room. So that was the reason why.
However, why did Kobi come to the hotel to look for her?
Taking a deep breath, Ariah tried to put her doubts aside. After tidying up her clothes, she sat up on the bed. Suddenly, she said, "Is there any water here? I'm a little thirsty."
Before Jimmy could react, his two subordinates got into action. "Yes, yes. What do you want to drink, Ariah? Plain water or any beverage? We'll get them for you."
"Plain water will do."
