Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 657

"Oh?" Kobi looked at Jimmy faintly. "So what you're saying now is that you owe me a favor?"

Jimmy scoffed. "How do you want me to return the favor?"

"That depends on you."

Jimmy pushed the chair back and stood up. Staring down at his brother lying on the hospital bed, he said, "Do you think that I'll forgive you for hypnotizing me because of this?"

Kobi seemed to smile. "Will you?”

"Of course not." Jimmy tugged his hands in his pockets, and his gaze was indifferent. "And you'd better stop making trouble for me. Otherwise, I'm afraid we can no longer be brothers."

After warning Kobi, he left.

Outside, he went straight to the smoking area and lit a cig. While smoking, he took out his cell phone and texted someone, "I need you to investigate something."

Then, he put away his phone, put off the cig and left.

Ariah took the lunch from the cafeteria and pushed open the door of Emily's ward. But then, she got frightened and almost screamed.

Standing rooted to the ground, she reminded herself to keep calm. Nevertheless, her voice was still a little shaky. "Emily, wh-what are you doing there?"

Emily didn't even turn back as she replied, "I'm looking at the view."

"Uh, but it's so cold now. We'd better close the window so you don't catch a cold." Ariah walked slowly towards her while trying to keep her voice steady as she said, "I bought you your favorite dishes. Why don't you get down from the window first?"

The ward was on the seventh floor. If Emily fell off accidentally, she would be dead.

"Don't come near me."

Despite sitting on the window still, Emily seemed to sense Ariah's approach. "Ariah, don't come over. Please leave me alone..."

She murmured, and her voice sounded like she was on the verge of breaking apart.

Instantly, Ariah froze and didn't dare to get any closer. "Fine, I'll just stand here."

Then, she retracted and took out her phone, dialing someone's number before placing the phone aside.

"Ariah, do you know what despair feel like?"

Emily suddenly asked her.

"Are you asking if I've experienced despair? Of course, I've experienced it before. Do you think Jimmy and I love each other and have a happy life? That's just on the surface. Before you came to Estar, I'd gone through ups and downs with him as he had betrayed me!"

Hearing that, Emily turned around in surprise. "Re-really?"

"Yeah, Jimmy worked as undercover police before. At that time, he got entangled with a woman, who I believe you've met when we had a hot pot together. And I'd even seen the photos of him in bed with that woman!"

"Do you hate him then?" Slowly, Emily's tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Of course, how could I not hate him? The more I love him, the more I hate him. However, I won't ruin myself just because of him. That would be too easy on him."

"But what would the hard way be?"

Ariah curled her lips and gave her a wink. "Well, that would depend on how much you hate him. You could make yourself stronger and then torture him, or you can live a better life than him and make him jealous of you. However, hurting yourself to make him feel sorry is the most stupid way!"

"So the reason you didn't agree to remarry him is to keep him tortured, is that right?"

"Yep, that's right!"

Just then, Emily's gaze swept past her and landed behind her. "Sorry that you have to hear this."

Instantly, Ariah's heart skipped a beat as she spun around. She saw Jimmy standing quietly at the door with an indifferent look.
