In the corridor of the hospital.
While Howard held a cup of hot coffee in his hand, he walked toward Ariah and said, "Take this."
Then, Ariah looked up at him and accepted the cup of coffee. After she took a sip, she frowned, "Did you add sugar to it?"
"What's wrong?”
"It's too sweet."
"Don't you women love sweets?"
"Too much sugar will cause weight gain."
Furious, Howard uttered, "I personally took the effort to pour you a cup of coffee, and you're still complaining about it? Pfft, it's up to you whether you want to drink it then!"
At that moment, Ariah pursed her lips and remained silent. Slowly, she took a sip and asked, "How did you know Emily is angry with me?"
Now that she thought about it carefully, just now, Emily did seem to be targeting her.
However, Emily was aware of the relationship between her and Jimmy.
If Emily were angry at her, she would have been angry since the start. Why did she have to wait until today to lash out at her?
Then, Howard glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "Shouldn't you be asking me how do I know that you and Kobi have such a good relationship?"
"Probably because of your cousin sister Hailee Perkins."
Shocked, Howard exclaimed, "F*ck, how did you even guess that?"
When Ariah saw how shocked he was, she was speechless.
Did he think that she was stupid?
Back then, Hailee and Ariah were schoolmates, and all thanks to Hailee, Ariah had mistaken Kobi for Jimmy.
As for Hailee, he had always been close to his cousin, Howard. Therefore, Hailee would definitely tell Howard all about Ariah's tiny little secrets.
So, Ariah was not surprised at all about how Howard knew that Ariah had such a relationship with Kobi in the past,
However, to Ariah's surprise, Howard managed to hold himself back, and he did not mention anything about her past to Jimmy.
"Since you know that I have a relationship with Kobi, why have you never mentioned it to Jimmy in the past few years?" Curiously, Ariah asked.
In fact, Howard didn't get along with her since the start, and they would quarrel whenever they met. Logically, according to Howard's character, he would have complained to Jimmy, but he didn't.
Immediately, Howard rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm a person who likes to gossip and leak everyone's secret?"
At that moment, Ariah's heart was a little touched.
"To be honest, the reason why I didn't tell Jimmy is that I realized that you've been leading an honest and clean life, and you've never got in touch with Kobi in the past few years. Otherwise, as a close friend of Jimmy, I would've told him ago if you dared to cheat on him."
Again, Ariah was tongue-tied.
D*mn it, she was moved for no reason.
Immediately, Ariah kicked him, "Get lost. Let me be alone for a moment."
"You still don't understand why Emily is jealous of you?"
After what Howard said, Ariah was silent.
"Women get jealous easily. Think about Anna. Even though she doesn't have any relationship with Jimmy, can you really tolerate her?"
Suddenly, Ariah stuttered as she tried to find an answer to Howard's question.
"Put yourself into Emily's shoes and think about it, and I believe it won't be difficult for you to understand why she's jealous of you."
In a daze, Ariah looked at Howard. Although she felt that what he said made sense, at the same time, she felt that what he said was not right either.
"Carefully think it over. If there's anything you don't understand, come and find me."
Then, Howard looked at the time and said, "It's time for me to leave. I have to carry out a surgery later."
After Ariah sat on the chair for a long time, she slowly figured it out. After she let out a sigh, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed again as she hurriedly ran toward Jimmy's ward.
It was a long time since she left his ward, and Ricco should be gone, but Jimmy had not his breakfast yet.
In fact, Jimmy would be irritated easily if he was hungry, and he would definitely scold her later.
When she returned to the ward, Ricco and Felipe had already left.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was on the phone. When he saw that Ariah had returned, he hurriedly hung up the phone after a few words with the person on the other side of the phone.
As he glanced at her, he said with a calm expression, "Wow, you still know that you need to come back?"
