Caught by the nurse?
Immediately, Ariah asked, "Then what?"
"Then I was chased out by the nurse."
That response left Ariah wordless.
Initially, Ben wanted to sneak in and have a look. However, as soon as he sneaked in the door of the ward, a nurse came out of nowhere, and she put her hands on her waist as she stared at him and asked who he was looking for.
Suddenly, Ben felt guilty, and he couldn't answer properly. Then, the nurse became suspicious, so she asked Ben to tell her the patient's name which he wanted to visit.
The thing was, Ben wasn't here to visit a patient, so how could he know the name of the patient?
Of course, he couldn't come up with a name. Since he failed to do so, the nurse decided that she didn't have to be polite to Ben and directly chased him out.
Left with no choice, Ben had to wait outside. When Howard came out of the hospital, Ben immediately drove back.
"That was the whole story." Straightforwardly, Ben explained what had happened.
After Ariah heard that, her beautiful brows furrowed, and she turned to look at Jimmy, only to find that his expression was unfathomable, which made her even more confused.
"Knock, knock..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Howard!" At that moment, Howard's voice rang out. "Jimmy, open the door. I have something to tell you."
As Jimmy opened the door, he stood aside to let Howard enter. Happily, Howard walked into the office as he fiddled with his phone in his hand, and sat down on the sofa in a relaxed manner. "What were you guys discussing with the door closed?"
Meanwhile, Ariah strode over to Howard and sat down beside him as she smiled and said, "So, where did you go?"
"Why are you leaning so close to me? Jimmy, please keep an eye on your wife. Aso, her smile, it's so infiltrating... Ah!"
Before Howard could finish his sentence, he received a slap from Ariah. While Howard rubbed his arm that Ariah hit, he glared at her and said, "Don't think that I won't hit you just because you're a woman. Just so you know, if I were to be violent, even I would be afraid of myself..."
"That's enough, don't be so long-winded!"
Then, Ariah rolled her eyes and asked directly, "What did you go?"
"I had something to do."
"What was it?"
"Ahem." Suddenly, Jimmy cleared his throat. "Why do you care so much? Anyway, I came here to tell you something. That is, I know where Kevin is."
Immediately, Ariah's eyes widened. "Who are you trying to fool?"
"Who is trying to fool you?" At that moment, Howard threw his phone on the tea table, looking particularly natural and unrestrained. "Have a look at it yourself."
In doubt, Ariah picked up the phone. After she looked at it for a long time, she said uncertainly, "This is... the coordinates’ of his locations, right?"
"At least you have a keen eye." Proudly, Howard raised his chin. "Jimmy, take a look and tell me where this location is."
After Ariah handed the phone over to Jimmy, he glanced at it and passed it to Ben. "Let the people from the technical department find out where it is." "Yes, sir."
Instantly, Ben took the phone and went to deal with it.
As soon as the door closed, Ariah was dragged off the couch by Jimmy, "Howard, where did you get this address?"
At that moment, Howard, who leaned on the sofa, smiled faintly and said, "Jimmy, everyone has their own privacy. This is my privacy, and I don't want you to meddle in it."
With a frown, Jimmy sized Howard up with his black eyes.
Meanwhile, Howard just sat there and let Jimmy stare at him.
When Ariah noticed that the atmosphere between the two men had suddenly become tense, she glanced back and forth at the two men, but from their expressions, she couldn't seem to figure anything out.
Moments later, Jimmy withdrew his gaze and curled his lips into a smile. "I owe you an apology."
However, Howard raised his eyebrows. "What are you apologizing for?"
"I used the goading method to get you to find me the address. Not only am I sorry for what I've done, but I'm also grateful for what you've done."
When Howard heard that explanation, he was dumbfounded.
Immediately, Howard sat up straight and his face darkened. "You mean, you deliberately tried to make me feel bad because you knew that I was the type who was willing to help you find the address that you wanted?"
Cheekily, Jimmy smiled. "Yes."
