Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 631

"You're here." When Mack saw her, he sighed. "Let's wait for a while. The operation is still going on. Have a seat first."

"Okay." Ariah sat down beside him and said, "David, please get me a glass of water for Mack."

"No problem."

David quickly ran to get water.

"Sorry for hurting you. Are you alright?" asked Mack with a faint smile.

"The doctor said I'm fine."

"That's good."

Ariah wanted to say something for Jimmy, but when she saw the tired look on her father's face, she knew that he was also extremely depressed. Therefore, she swallowed back the words that had been bobbing in her throat.

As David came back, she handed the glass to her father. He took it but didn't drink it.

"Is Ella alright?" asked Ariah.

"She fainted upon knowing what happened. The doctor said it was a huge blow for her, and she needs to rest now."

Suddenly, Mack changed the subject. "Did the sc*mbag ask you to come over?"

He must be referring to Jimmy.

Ariah glanced at Mack and remained silent.

As he sneered, the joints of his hand were clicking. Ariah knew that he was still angry, so she hurriedly calmed him down, "There's something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead." Mack's mood eased a little as he uttered that.

"I understand that your feeling now, but I believe Jimmy may have been wronged."

"How is that possible? The police officers were eyewitnesses. They saw how he committed murder before arresting him on the spot! The knife with his fingerprints was at the crime scene. The evidence is there, Ariah."

"But what about his motive?" Ariah hurriedly retorted. "To kill someone, one must have a particular motive. Jimmy and Kobi are brothers, so I don't think Jimmy killed him out of hatred. Have you thought about this?"

Mack suddenly became speechless.

"Don't you think that this matter was fishy? Why would Jimmy kill Kobi for no reason? Even if he really wanted to do that, do you think he would be arrested? He himself is a police officer who deals with criminal cases all year round. With his professionalism and abilities, it's impossible for him to be caught after doing something bad!"

Mack fell silent. The corners of his mouth were tightly pressed together. He frowned deeply and stared at Ariah intently.

He had the same thought too, but the evidence was there. The surgery was going on, and Kobi's safety was still an unknown... How could he believe that Jimmy had done nothing wrong?

Ariah knew that Mack's heart was full of questions, so she gave him some time to think about it.

As she looked at Emily, she motioned for David to take care of Mack.

"Emily?"

Ariah squatted down in front of her and called out her name softly.

"Ariah?" Emily raised her head in shock.

"Yes, it's me."
