Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 584

Jimmy opened his eyes, feeling a little breathless. He looked down to see a delicate hand pressed against his chest.

As he turned slightly, a furry head lying on the side of the bed came into sight. The person must be Ariah.

The dimly lit ward was warm and cozy, and it was no wonder that she could fall asleep in this position. In the ward, it was only silence except her faint breathing.

Jimmy looked at her with his head tilted, and his lips curled into a smile.

At this moment, there was a sound at the door. Someone was coming in.

It was a nurse with a tray in her hands, wanting to dress his wound. The minute she entered the ward, he said to her in a low voice, "Be gentle. Don't wake her."

The nurse was startled before realizing what he meant was not to wake the woman who was sleeping by the side of the bed.

She had been staying in the ward all day long. Every time the nurse came in, she would see her here.

She was probably overly exhausted that she fell asleep by the bedside.

Nodding to his request, the nurse came to Jimmy's bed carefully and changed his dressing. She was about to go out when Ariah woke up.

Ariah blinked in a daze but when she spotted the nurse, she immediately sprung up and asked, "Is he alright?"

The nurse smiled and pointed at Jimmy, indicating her to take a look herself.

Ariah turned around and met with Jimmy's dark eyes that were looking back at her quietly.

Overjoyed, she shrieked, "You're awake? When did you wake up? Has any doctor come to check on you? How do you feel now? Any discomfort or pain?"

Jimmy simply looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Anxious, she turned around to the nurse. "Excuse..."

However, the nurse had already long gone, leaving room for the couple to spend some alone time together.

"I'll call the doctor..."

"Come back."

Ariah stopped. Jimmy huffed in amusement, "I'm

fine. Come back."

Breathing a sigh of relief, she then sat beside him. Jimmy looked at her intently and said in a low voice, "I told you, I won't make you a widow."

Ariah squinted at him.

It seemed that he was really okay now since he had the mood to joke.

"Tell me everything I don't know. Did my parents know that I was admitted to the hospital?"

Ariah nodded and told him everything that had happened during the day. Her gentle and silvery voice resonated across the quiet ward like a lullaby as it echoed into Jimmy's ears.

As he listened to her recounting the events of the day, his eyes felt heavy, and his body gradually went limp under the effect of the drug.

Seeing that, Ariah immediately stopped talking. "You should rest..."

While shifting his position slightly, Jimmy grimaced when he accidentally pulled the gunshot wound. He even snorted a little because of the sharp pain.

Startled, Ariah held him. "What are you doing!"

Couldn't he just sleep properly? Why did he have to move around? Would he only be happy when his wound opened?

After helping him to sit firmly on the bed, Ariah bellowed, panicked and furious, "Are you okay? Does it hurt? Is it bleeding? No, I'm going to call the doctor..."

She felt a tight grip on her wrist and she was yanked to a halt. "Come here."

Ariah was astounded. "W-What?"

Pouting, Jimmy patted on the vacant space next to him with his uninjured hand. "Come and sleep here."

Stood akimbo, Ariah glared at him.

So the reason he shifted his body just now was to make room for her to lie down.

Ariah was so angry with him but she could only glare at him, unable to utter a single word.

Jimmy frowned at the lack of response from her. "Didn't you hear me? I asked you to come and sleep here."

Rolling her eyes, she nudged him. "Quit it! How can I sleep on the bed when you're injured?"

"You don't want to sleep with me?"

"I might bump into your wound at night."
