Chapter 620


    Jimmy nced at her and let go of Ariah, who immediately ran the bathroom.


    It was after some time when she finally came out of the bathroom, and she was shocked to see


    Jimmy sitting in the living room. "Oh, y-you are still here."


    She thought he had left, but out, but surprisingly he was having a smoke here.


    As he snuffed the cigarette, he looked at her with a frown. "Go and change your clothes!"


    The bathrobe on her made him feel cold.


    His words pulled her back to reality. Since it was indeed a little cold, she hurried back to her


    bedroom and changed into a warm outfit.


    As she changed, she thought why Jimmy was still here? Was he going to send her to the hospital?


    Or did he have anything to tell her?


    After she changed her clothes, she found him waiting for her outside the bedroom.


    In a very direct manner, he said, "Do you want to know the story between Nicole and me?"


    Ariah was happy to hear that he was ready to share the past.


    "Do you want to know it?"


    "Yes!"


    Jimmy thus smiled and said, "Nicole grew up with me. We went to primary school and high school


    together. Although we then studied at different high schools, we were still close to each other as we


    lived very close to each other."


    Traces of uneasiness started seeping through Ariah''s heart. "So, she''s your childhood sweetheart?"


    "Yes, to a certain extent." Jimmy nodded.


    Ariah thus got a little jealous. "Did she like you?"


    ncing at her, he nodded. "Yes."


    Upon hearing that, Ariah pulled at her clothes and lowered her head silently.


    Just then, he moved forward, casting his shadow upon her. "You haven''t asked me whether I liked


    her."


    Since they were childhood sweethearts., did Ariah still need to ask his feelings for Nicole?


    Ariah snorted, "Why do you ask that question?"


    She knew she would not be in a good mood upon knowing the answer, so should she still ask him


    about that?


    "Let me tell you something: I didn''t like her." Raising her head abruptly, she stared at him with a pair


    of sparkling eyes, "What did you just say?"


    "I didn''t like her. At that time, I was thinking about how to be a policeman, so I didn''t have time to


    think about love affairs."


    "Really?"


    "Why should I lie to you?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows.


    Ariah thought for a moment. There was indeed no need for him to lie to her, so she soon dismissed


    her suspicion.


    "Then... where''s Nicole now?" she asked again.


    "She''s missing," Jimmy replied indifferently.


    Ariah was silent. Was that what Kobi meant? Had Jimmy been secretly looking for Nicole for so


    many years because of this?


    "What''s going on? How could she be missing?"


    "She was a policewoman. When I was on an undercover mission, she took the initiative to support


    me. She lurked beside a drug dealer, but her identity was unfortunately exposed, and the man


    threatened to kill her." Jimmy told her about the terrifying incident of that year in a brief manner.


    Shocked, she continued asking, What happened after that?"


    "I didn''t manage to save her."


    His few words were imbued with helplessness and regret.


    "I''m sorry..."


    Ariah felt a little guilty for having asked such sensitive questions.


    Shaking his head, he replied, "I''m fine." After a pause, he continued, "Everyone thought she was


    dead, but I believe she must still be alive somewhere."


    Everyone said that she had died because he failed to save her.


    However, he would never ept the fact before her dead body was found.


    He was determined to find her and give the Hart Family an exnation.


    Just then, Ariah seemed to have thought of something. "How did Kobi know that you''ve been


    looking for Nicole for the past few years? Did he keep an eye on you in secret?"


    Otherwise, how would Kobi know the things that Jimmy had done before?


    The corner of Jimmy''s mouth was tightly curled after he heard that. His face was gloomy, for Kobi


    seemed to be more suspicious.


    Suddenly Jimmy''s phone rang. It was a call from


    Stanley.


    Upon noticing the caller ID, she knew that there would definitely be nothing that she could help with.


    "Then, I''ll excuse myself now, or else I''ll bete for work. You can take your time to answer the


    phone."


    Jimmy then took his coat and followed her out. "I''ll apany you..."


    "s, no thanks. Our work units are not in the same ce. It''s troublesome to run from one ce to


    the other."


    He would waste the whole morning if he followed her to her office before going to the police station.


    "It''s no trouble at all."


    Without answering the phone, Jimmy stepped out of the house with her. "Let''s go. I''ll take you to the


    hospital."


    "There''s really no need for that..."


    "Don''t be so long- winded. Let''s have breakfast together."


    Ariah was speechless at the moment.


    He was indeed a strong-willed man, and nobody could change his mind.


    Daunted by his aura, Ariah could only follow behind him.


    After sending Ariah to the hospital, Jimmy turned his car around and left for home. On the way


    back, he remembered the call that he did not pick up, so he stopped his car and called Stanley


    back.


    "Why didn''t you pick up just now?" asked Stanley.


    "Something happened just now. Did you find something new?"


    "Yes, of course."


    Jimmy immediately sat up straight. "Go ahead. I''m listening."


    "I''ll sort out the detailed information and let Anthony send it to you. However, there''s one thing I


    think I''d better tell you in person."


    "What is it?"


    "When I inquired about Kevin in Mathines, I found out that five years ago, he had been burned by


    fire and was receiving treatment in a hospital. Less than a monthter, he moved out of the hospital.


    I can''t find out where he went to after that."


    Since Stanley had called Jimmy personally, he must have something important to share. It would


    definitely not just be about Kevin.


    Therefore, Jimmy patiently waited for Stanley''s next words.


    Sure enough, after a short pause, Stanley spoke again, "When Kevin was hospitalized, I found


    records of Kobi''s payment for the medicine."


    Just a few words, Jimmy''s pupils contracted in an instant.


    As he tightened his grip on his phone, he lowered his voice. "Are you sure?"


    "The medical expenses are recorded in the same ount, and the owner of that ount is Kobi."


    That was to say that Kobi had something to do with Kevin a long time ago.


    Disbelief was written all over Jimmy''s face.


    It was a few hourster that Ariah learned out about Emily''s disappearance.


    When she came back from the canteen, her cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and found


    that it was a strange number.


    "Hello?" She answered the phone with suspicion. She thought it was a patient''s number, which she


    forgot to save.


    "Ariah, it''s me."


    To her surprise, the person on the other side of the phone was Mack.


    Ariah was stunned for a moment before she quickly asked, "Why did you call me? Is there


    something wrong?"


    Mack had never called her in private unless there was something serious. If he had an important


    piece of information, he would directly inform


    Jimmy, who would then share it with her.


    "Something happened not long ago."

    Following a sigh, Mack said, "Ariah, Emily is missing."
