Chapter 500
Hearing that E had demanded him to sit down and finish up the meal with Jean, Jimmy was quite
frustrated.
"Mom, what on earth do you want?"
"I just want you to have dinner with Jean."
"But I''m done eating."
"Well, wait for her to finish up then!"
Jimmy hadpletely lost his patience. With a stern look, he said, "I don''t have time to do this. I
gotta get going now."
Saying that, regardless of E''s sullen look, he went straight to the kitchen to pack up the food one
by one into the thermos, then stormed out.
"This b*stard really pisses me off," thought E as she heaved heavily.
Jimmy rushed to the hospital and went straight to the ward. But when he pushed open the door,
Ariah was nowhere to be seen.
Instantly, he got anxious and went to look for the nurse at the nurse''s station. "Have you seen the
patient in that ward? Did she leave without permission?"
The nurse pointed in the direction of the corridor and replied, "I seem to see her going over there..."
Before she could finish, Jimmy had left.
Meanwhile, Ariah and Ro were at the stairwell.
ncing at her sitting on the staircase, Ro joined her and asked in confusion, "It''s warmer in the
ward. Why do you wannae here?"
"Because I can''t smoke in the ward."
Ro was surprised. "You wanna smoke?"
"Yes. Do you have a cig?"
"Nope! Why? You''re craving for it?" Ro refused without thinking.
Ariah rolled her eyes at him. "Nah, I don''t crave for it."
"Then why do you ask me for cigarettes?"
"Well, I need to rx. Don''t you men always smoke to calm down your thoughts?" Ariah was really
annoyed with him asking all sorts of questions, mumbling, "Please, stop acting like my mum. Duh.”
Hearing that, Ro was a little speechless. "Well, the trouble doesn''t go away after that. One will
still be bothered by the same thing. Anyway, what''s bothering you? Maybe I could offer you some
insight."
Ariah was about to reject him when she thought of something. After a moment of silence, she
asked, "Is there a grudge between Kevin and Jimmy?"
"Yes."
"What kind of grudge is it?"
"Well, it''s a deep grudge." Ro stretched his legs and saidzily, "Had Jimmy not told you about
this yet?"
Ariah shook her head in silence. She had been kept in the dark ever since the beginning.
"How did Jimmy and Kevin be enemies?"
Ro made a gesture of stopping. "Well, I''m afraid I can''t answer this as it involves Jimmy''s privacy.
If you really wanna know more about the exact story, it''s better to ask him."
Hearing that, Ariah shot him a re. "Just now, you were the one who said you could help."
"Yeah, but even if I tell you everything, you won''t feel any better."
Ariah was speechless.
"Is there anything else you wanna ask?"
"Yep."
"Go ahead."
"What''s the grudge between you and Kevin?"
The moment Ariah asked that, Ro''s expression turned serious and his gaze sharpened. "I''m
afraid
I can''t answer this. Dr. Myers, you should know that this is my privacy."
With a nod, Ariah agreed, "Yeah, you can choose not to answer."
Under Ro''s intense gaze, unlike most people who would yield to his look, Ariah, on the other
hand, continued to act indifferently.
Later, Ro took back his gaze and chuckled. "Do you know why Jimmy chooses not to tell you
about all this stuff?"
Instantly, Ariah showed him some response. "Why?"
"Well, I suppose he wants to keep you away from danger, because the more you know, the easier it
is for you to get into trouble."
Ariah was stunned.
"Back then, Kevin manipted my girlfriend to kill her parents and then let her kill me... When she
woke up, she couldn''t bear those blows and chose tomit suicide. So I swear that I will end
Kevin''s life myself one day."
Hearing that, Ariah was dumbfounded and she quickly apologized, "I... I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have
asked this!"
She regretted causing him to recall his tragic past.
"Oh well, it''s not your fault. You don''t need to feel guilty." Ro shrugged his shoulders.
However, Ariah was still awkward, yet she didn''t know what to say tofort him.
Jimmy pushed open the emergency door to see Ro sitting by the stairs with Ariah and lighting a
cigarette for her.
Instantly, Jimmy was enraged and strode over to pull Ariah up from the ground, then struck at Ro.
This time, Ro was much agile and dodged his attack.
Nevertheless, Ro looked quite offended. "Jimmy, don''t think that I don''t dare to beat you!"
On the other hand, Ariah frowned as her cigarette dropped to the ground.
With a sullen look, Jimmy pulled her aside and questioned Ro, "Why did you give her the cig?"
Surprised, Ro did not expect that it was because of this. He cleared his throat and exined,
"Well, she insisted on having a puff. She would have robbed the cig from me if I hadn''t given it to
her."
Jimmy''s sharp gaze then swept over Ariah, who just shrugged and said, "Ah, I was just curious..."
"You''d better not tried it!"
Then, Jimmy gave Ro a meaningful nce and left with Ariah.
"Hey..."
Ariah stumbled because of his pull. He grabbed her hard, as if he wanted to crush her wrist.
It was only when they returned to the ward that she angrily flung his hand away. "Ouch, it hurts..."
Jimmy''s chest heaved heavily in anger. "How dare you want to try smoking? It''s not something that
you should be doing!"
"Rx, it''s not like I''m doing drugs."
"How can a woman be smoking?"
"What''s wrong with a woman smoking? It''s the 21st century now. Both men and women are equal!"
Knowing that Ariah had a sharp tongue and that he could not win her, Jimmy took a deep breath
and asked, "Why are you with Ro anyway?"
"Oh, he came to visit." Ariah walked towards the hospital bed. "He was just as curious as you were
about how I was able to fight back when I was under Kevin''s hypnosis."Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
"That''s it?"
"Yep."
Jimmy took arge step forward and blocked her way. "Do you know that Ro is interested in
you?"
Was she a fool? How could she not sense that Ro was treating her differently?
Meanwhile, Ariah was stunned. "What? He''s interested in me? That''s impossible."
