Chapter 654


    For a second, Ariah stood outside and didn''t know whether she should enter Kobi''s ward or not.


    Right now, Emily was talking to Kobi, so it would be rude to enter.


    Thinking about that, Ariah decided to wait a little longer.


    From the window, she could see that Emily looked a little sad as she stared at Kobi who was lying


    on the hospital bed.


    What were they talking about?


    Ariah was curious.


    She leaned against the wall and waited idly. Recalling the heartbreaking look on Emily''s face just


    now, she felt sorry for Emily...


    After waiting for a while, there was some sounding from the ward and she saw that Emily


    wanted toe out but couldn''t open the door.


    "Let me do it."


    She knocked on the door and said to Emily.


    Emily was stunned to see her. Then, she moved her wheelchair back, allowing Ariah to push open


    the door.


    When the door was pushed open, Emily finally felt free and took a deep breath before pushing her


    wheelchair out.


    "Emily-"


    Ariah called out to her, but she just left without even giving her a look.


    Stunned, Ariah subconsciously looked towards Kobi and he was staring at her quietly.


    At the same time, Emily had disappeared already. With a sigh, Ariah walked towards Kobi. "Are you


    alright?"


    Kobi continued to gaze at her.


    "Yep, I''m not gonna die anytime soon."


    Ariah had nothing to say.


    The ward instantly fell into silence.


    Momentster, Kobi started to speak again, though he sounded quite weak. "Are you here for


    Emily?"


    Ariah had to take a few steps closer to hear him clearly and she nodded, answering, "Yeah, I


    brought breakfast for her, but she wasn''t in the ward. I thought that she could be worried about you


    and wanted toe to see you, so I came."


    With a pause, she then asked, "What did you say to her just now? When she went out, her eyes


    were quite red."


    Emily seemed to be holding back her tears, which made Ariah''s heart ache even more.


    Hearing that, Kobi was surprised and struggled to sit up, but when he moved, he frowned because


    of the pain.


    Hurriedly, Ariah said, "You''re wounded, so just lie down."


    Kobi stared at the ceiling and panted a while before continuing, "Just now, she was asking why I


    risked my life to take a gunshot for you."


    Ariah was dumbfounded.


    Out of her expectation, Emily was disheartened because of her.


    "And I told her that I block the gunshot subconsciously. So now, she was a little upset."


    "Ahem." Ariah cleared her throat. "Well... I''ll exin it to herter..."


    "What''s there to exin?" Kobi smiled. "It''s not like we can pretend that I didn''t take the shot for


    you."


    Soon, she went silent again.


    Because she didn''t know what to say.


    It was a big favor that she owed to Kobi now.


    If it hadn''t been for Kobi, she would have been the one lying on the bed now.


    Of course, she was grateful that Kobi had taken the bullet for her. However, she could not just fall in


    love with him because of this.


    Kobi had done so many things in the past that she couldn''t forgive easily.


    After a long while, she finally looked at him.


    "Anyway... you should get a good rest and I''ll go see Emily now. I''lle to visit you again soon."


    Then, without waiting for him to reply, she left.


    Kobi''s gaze was fixed on her. Only when her figure had disappeared did he curled his lips coldly.


    In the Hudsons'' Mansion-


    The servants were giving Jimmy a different look secretly the moment he came home.


    Sensing that, he knew that E must have identally said something about the matter between


    him and Kobi in front of the servants.


    Nevertheless, he didn''t take it to heart. He changed his shoes and asked, "Where''s my mother?"


    The servant took his coat and replied, "Madam is upstairs. She hasn''t eaten much this afternoon


    though. Now that you''re back, she must be happy."


    Jimmy said nothing and went straight upstairs.


    From a distance, he could hear Mack''s voiceing from the bedroom. "How can you not eat


    anything? If it goes on like this, you''re gonna get sick soon!"

    E wiped her tears and said, "After all that had happened recently, I don''t have much appetite left."


    Mack sighed.


    "Jimmy is a good boy. Even though he was a little naughty during childhood, that''s just because he


    has a lively personality. I don''t believe that he would do such a thing to harm his brother."


    "E, I know Jimmy won''t do that."


    With a pause, he then told her everything he knew. "It''s not solely Jimmy''s responsibility. Kobi has


    something to do with it as well."


    Upon hearing that, E widened her eyes and said, "I knew it. But why would they turn against each


    other?"


    Mack shook his head. "It''s not Kobi who is injured. It''s someone else!"


    "What? What is going on?" Instantly, E got anxious.


    Mack pursed his lips. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said solemnly, "On the day of the incident,


    Jimmy was hypnotized by Kobi. So Jimmy couldn''t control himself at all, which was why the police


    saw him trying to harm others."


    Hearing that, E was so shocked that she couldn''t utter a word for a long time


    Her hands were shaking on the quilt.


    Seeing her pale face, Mack hurried to say, "Don''t worry. I''ll try my best to do Jimmy justice. I won''t


    let him be wronged."


    E muttered, "Why... why did Kobi do that? Why did he do such a terrible thing to Jimmy? What


    was he up to?"


    "Don''t overthink it..."


    "How can I not overthink it?" E screamed, "Will you just make Kobi leave after the New Year and


    let him stay abroad forever? Let''s just pretend that we don''t have a son like him!"


    "What are you talking about?" Stunned, Mack frowned and said, "Are you asking me to drive him


    away?"


    "Yes, drive him away!" she shouted.


    "How... how could you say that!"


    E started to shed tears again. "But he''s threatening my son now. How can I pretend like nothing


    happened? Mack, if you still want us to be together, you should just let him go and don''t evere


    back again!"


    Hearing that, Mack got upset. "If I really drive him away, I''ll be breaking his heart. They both are my


    sons. I can''t treat them differently..." "He''s your son, not mine!"


    E interrupted him coldly. "If he continues to stay in this house, one day, he''ll eventually kill


    Jimmy!"


    "E!"


    Mack shot her a look.


    Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.


    "Dad, Mom, what are you two talking about?"
