Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 637

Without even raising her head, the nurse asked, "Which ward is the patient from?"

"Ward 5208."

"Ward 5208? Didn't that patient just come out from the operating theatre? There is currently no examination scheduled for him, and he had been in the ward since afternoon. How could the patient not be in the ward? Did you see wrongly?"

Annoyed, Ariah answered,"... I'm not blind."

It was then only the nurse raised her head and glanced at Ariah. "The patient in the ward can barely move, so how could he get out of bed?"

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

The nurse had no choice but to follow her, only to be stunned. "Where is he?"

With a frown, Ariah asked, "Why are you asking me? I am the one who should be asking you, where is the patient?"

The nurse's facial expression changed, and she quickly ran back to the nurse deck to check with the other nurses. After a while, several nurses and doctors all came to the ward for inspection, and they came up with a conclusion.

The person in the ward was missing.

Missing?

It turned out that Kobi was missing?

Never did Ariah expect that Kobi would have gone missing. At first, she even thought that there was something wrong with Kobi and that the doctor had brought him for an examination!

If Kobi was missing, then it would be a huge problem!

Needless to say, the first thing that the hospital did was to call the police. When the police arrived, they ordered the hospital security to show them the surveillance footage. As the patient's family member, Ariah naturally followed them to the monitoring room.

But when they saw the footage, Ariah's heart skipped a beat.

Ricco...?

If Ariah was not mistaken, the figure on the monitor was Ricco.

What was he doing in Kobi's ward?

However, Ariah couldn't recognize the other two men who had been walking in and out of Kobi's ward, and it made her even more curious about who they were.

A policeman noticed Ariah's strange expression, so he pointed to the monitor and asked, "Is there anyone on it that you know?"

Casually, Ariah nodded and answered, "Of course. I know the patient. He's my brother-in-law. But I don't know who are the other people."

The police felt that Ariah didn't seem to be lying, so he stared at her for a while and remained silent.

After the negotiation, the police placed the case on file and told her to wait for the updates. Then, they left.

As soon as the police left, Ariah immediately took out her phone and gave David a call. After Ariah roughly explained the situation to David, he almost jumped up on the other end of the call. "What do you mean Kobi is missing? How could a grown man like him be missing?"

Then, Ariah told David what she saw from the surveillance footage, "I saw three people who entered Kobi's ward, so I was guessing that he might have been taken away by someone. Go to the Hudson Family and keep an eye on Mack, and tell him not to come to the hospital."

At that moment, Ariah was afraid that if Mack were to know about what had happened in the hospital, he would have a heart attack.

Too many things had happened in the past few days, and if Mack were to be given another blow, Ariah had no idea whether he could bear it.

Immediately, David agreed, "I get it, Ariah. I'll go to the Hudson's Mansion now. I'll take care of everything over there. Don't worry."

Then, Ariah thanked David and went straight to the police station.

When Ariah arrived at the police station, before she saw Jimmy, she bumped into the person that she saw in the surveillance.

It was Ricco!

"Why are you here?" At that moment, Ariah walked over with large strides.

When Ricco turned to look, he didn't expect Ariah to come at this time. In fact, he was about to go and find Jimmy.

"Why can't I be here?" With his eyebrows raised, Ricco asked.

How dare he pretended to not know what just happened!

Let's see how much longer could he continue to pretend!

Without another word, Ariah stared straight at him with her gaze that was as sharp as an X-ray.

Frightened by Ariah's gaze, Ricco asked, "What's the matter?"

"What are you doing here?" Angrily, Ariah asked.

"I'm here to discuss something with Jimmy."

"What is it?"

"You're not Jimmy, so I don't think it's a good idea to tell you."

"You..."

With a faint smile, Ricco glanced sideways at Ariah. Then, he pushed the door open and strode into the room.

Immediately, Ariah followed.

Meanwhile, Jimmy raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people who came in. "How did you come together at the same time?"

It wasn't until the door of the room was closed that Ariah jumped up. "Ricco, tell me. Does Kobi's disappearance has something to do with you?"

Taken aback, Ricco asked, "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending. I just came from the hospital! I had even watched the surveillance footage. Although you are wearing a hat, I could still recognize you from the back. You are the one who went in and out of Kobi's ward!"

"Well, if it was that easy for you to recognize me from my back, it seems that you know me very well." In fact, Ricco deliberately said it in an ambiguous way, which made Ariah angry.

Before Ariah could lose her temper, Jimmy had already glared at Ricco, "What did you say?"

At that moment, Ricco knew that if he were to provoke Jimmy, Jimmy's natural character of protecting Ariah would definitely be exposed again, so Ricco straight his head, pulled out a chair, and took a seat.

"I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything."

Immediately, Ricco gave in.

Then, Ariah snorted and went to stand next to Jimmy, while Jimmy rubbed his temples and asked, "What were the both of you talking about just now? What do you mean Kobi is missing? Also, Ariah, what do you mean that you saw Ricco appeared in the surveillance footage?"

However, Ariah looked at Ricco as she wanted to see what he could say.

In the meantime, Ricco also raised his head to look at Ariah and wanted to hear what she could say.

The two of them stared at each other and did not speak for a while.

With a frown, Jimmy asked, "Anyone here who could make it clear for me?"

"Ahem." Immediately, Ricco looked away, cleared his throat and said directly, "Ariah is right. I did go

to the hospital. Since there are CCTVs in the hospital, it would be natural to see me appearing on the footage."

"Then what is it about Kobi?" As Jimmy asked, he turned to look at Ariah.

Calmly, Ariah answered, "An hour ago, I went to the hospital to look for Emily. I wanted to spend the night with her in the hospital, but when I arrived at the hospital, I couldn't find her anywhere."

After a pause, she added, "And for Kobi, I didn't see him either. The ward was empty, so the staff in the hospital called the police. After the police came over, they took a look at the surveillance footage. At that moment, I also stood by the side to watch, and I saw Ricco in the footage."

Then, Jimmy nodded and looked at Ricco. "What about you? Why were you there?"

After a moment, Ricco raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you want to say it in front of her?"

Then, Jimmy finally understood why Ricco did not take the initiative to speak as soon as he entered the room. Apparently, it was that Ricco was on guard against Ariah.

However, Ariah was unhappy when she heard that. "What do you mean you by that? Why can't you say it in front of me? I'm not an outsider. Ricco, you're the outsider, okay?"

Suddenly, Ricco shrugged and uttered, "I am indeed an outsider, but it's not that I don't want to tell you about it. It was Jimmy that specifically ordered me not to tell you about it."

Without hesitation, Ricco sold Jimmy out.

What?

Angrily, Ariah glared at Jimmy, "What are you trying to hide from me?"

"Nothing. Don't listen to his nonsense. It's just that he is jealous about how close we are, so he is trying to cast a bone between us." AT that moment, Jimmy was having a headache, and he secretly glanced at Ricco as a warning.

With a sneer, Ricco helped Jimmy to deal with Ariah and said directly, "I had been keeping an eye on Kobi in the hospital these days, and I have been secretly monitoring his ward. There has been no movement in the last two days, but today, someone finally couldn't wait any longer and went to Kobi's ward."

In fact, Ariah didn't expect Kobi to have been staying in the hospital for the past few days, and she didn't know about it at all.

What the h*ll were these two men doing behind her back? NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Then, Ariah's suspicious gaze swept back and forth among the two of them.
