Jimmy's expression changed as soon as he heard that Ariah once had a crush on Kobi. He clenched the steering wheel tight and sneered.
When he heard her say that Kobi even bled for her, he was even more annoyed and hissed, "No wonder he's the one you want to marry. It turns out that he is so important, huh?"
Looking at his expressionless face, Ariah felt helpless.
Back in high school, she did tell Hailee that she wanted to marry Kobi when she grew up, but it was because she thought that the man who saved her at that time was Kobi.
This had always been a secret she kept to herself. But now, she realized that she should open up with Jimmy. Otherwise, he would always be bothered about this.
Upon making that decision, Ariah finally said, "Jimmy, do you know that we met before we got married?"
Instantly, he glanced at her in surprise. "Really? When?"
As expected, he didn't remember that.
He probably already forgot that he had once saved her.
"We met once when I was in the 11th grade. Don't you remember at all?"
Jimmy frowned. "No. Where did we meet?"
She had seen him when they were young?
Why hadn't she mentioned this for so many years? Hesitantly, Ariah explained, "It wasn't just the two of us though. There were other people too, so it's understandable if you don't remember it at all."
However, she didn't want to tell him the fact that he had saved her before but then she mixed him up with Kobi.
And she even fell in love with the wrong man.
That was just embarassing.
Jimmy turned to give her a strange look, wanting to say something. Just as Ariah grew uncomfortable under his gaze and wanted to tell him to stop looking, she saw a car coming at them and her face turned pale.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, she screamed in fear.
Without looking back, Jimmy heard the screeching of car tyres and the first thing that came to his mind was Ariah's safety because the passenger riding in the passenger's seat was more at risk of injury compared to the driver.
And he didn't want anything to happen to her!
Quickly, he wrapped Ariah tightly into his arms.
Bang!
They crashed.
At the same time, the windshield was shattered into pieces and Ariah could feel her organs seemed to have shifted out of place. Instantly, the air was filled with the smell of blood.
When everything stopped, Ariah reached out to touch Jimmy, who was lying next to her dead still, and her fingers were coated with his blood.
"Jimmy..."
She let out a weak cry, but still, Jimmy didn't move or speak. Seeing that, she was surrounded in fear.
In the hospital-
Sharon had been coming here every day. Three days ago, she got the news that Ariah and Jimmy had gotten into a car accident. When she first heard the news, she almost fainted.
Then, she remembered that Ariah was still pregnant...
Nevertheless, she quickly rushed to the hospital with Stanley.
After Ariah came out of the examination, the doctor sighed and said, "Miss Myers is very lucky. It was a miracle that she wasn't injured badly from such a serious car crash."
Indeed, it was a miracle.
Hurriedly, Sharon asked, "What about the baby?"
