Only Jimmy and Ariah were left in the ward now. Looking at Ariah with deep eyes, Jimmy said, "You scared them earlier."
"Who asked them to set me up? Am I not allowed to scare them?" Ariah snorted, "They got off light."
Jimmy raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean? Are you still planning to mess with them?"
Glancing at Jimmy from the corner of her eyes, Ariah asked, "Do you feel bad forthem?"
Jimmy had nothing to say for himself.
"Forget it, since they're sincerely sorry, I'll cut them some slack." Ariah waved her hand. "Good thing you're not involved in this thing. Otherwise, I won't let you off so easily."
Recalling her slutty behavior in the hotel room just now, Ariah gritted her teeth with anger.
"Oh, what if I was involved? What would you do to me?"
"I'll feed you guys the drug that you gave me and lock all of you up in one room." Blinking her dewy eyes, Ariah said. "I'll let you guys have a taste of what I experienced earlier. Sounds perfectly fair, doesn't it?"
Jimmy did not know whether to laugh or cry. Ariah was indeed ruthless. How could she even think of such an idea?
Returning to her bed, Ariah asked after hesitating for a while, "Did you really knocked on my room door yesterday?"
Wearing a faint smile on his face, Jimmy asked, "Why are you asking?"
"Didn't you go back home with Anna?" There was a tinge of jealousy in her tone.
Keeping silent, Jimmy gradually walked towards her. He lowered his eyes and kept his gaze fixed on her. "Are you jealous?"
What?
Ariah paused for a moment.
Bending down slightly, he looked her in the eye. "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. That's what you just mentioned."
Ariah was dumbfounded. Was he trying to say that he decided to get close to Anna after seeing how close she was with Kobi?
After knowing the truth, Ariah was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot. She was boiling with anger at the hot pot restaurant last night, but it turned out that he was purposely trying to make her jealous.
After scolding him for god knew how long, she chased him away. "Go away. I'm going to rest!"
Pinching her chin, Jimmy smiled. "Get some sleep."
Why was he suddenly being so nice to her?
Suspicious, Ariah asked, "Where are you going?"
"You get some rest. I have something to do. I'll be back soon."
"Geez..."
Jimmy pushed open the door and went out. Lying back onto the bed, Ariah looked at the ceiling and sighed. Recalling what happened in the hotel, she felt a headache creeping up on her.
Unlike before, Kobi seemed to be treating her differently.
When Ariah was still abroad, she thought Kobi was the one who saved her, so she had been friendly towards him.
Back then, Kobi was extremely indifferent to her. He was not interested in her at all.
Now that his attitude toward her changed, Ariah could not figure out what he was thinking.
Moreover, he already had Alice.
Eyes darkening, Ariah pursed her lips as she fell into deep thoughts...
After exiting the ward, Jimmy noticed David was still standing outside the door. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Why are you still here? Where is Ben?"
"Something happened at the station, so I asked him to go back first." David timidly looked inside the ward, obviously still shocked by Ariah's evil plan. "Um, captain, Ariah is all cooled down now, right?"
"If you're going to be so scared, why did you even drug her in the first place?" Jimmy glared at him coldly.
David smiled awkwardly.
"I'll deal with you guys later." Jimmy did not have the time to bother about them now. "Give me the key."
"You mean the car key?"
