Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 673

"Kobi!"

After suddenly being pinned on the hospital bed by Kobi, Emily was overwhelmed at first. When she finally came back to her senses, she felt irritated.

"Let go of me!"

With a flushed face, she struggled hard to get out from his grip, but to no avail.

She didn't expect that he still had strength even though he was injured.

"Stop...moving..." Kobi whimpered, and his face grimaced. "You're touching my wound..."

Giving her a bitter smile, he whispered, "It hurts a little."

Only then she was shocked by the realization that they were extremely close to each other. When she struggled, her body would touch his.

In an instance, she stopped struggling.

Though she stopped moving, she couldn't help but snap at him, "Serves you right!"

"Guess you're right," Kobi didn't retort. He then asked, "What else are you mad at me for? Just let it all out. You'll feel better after letting out everything." "I will just be wasting time if I scold you!" Emily's tone as full of disdain.

Looking into her eyes, Kobi asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

Hearing that, Emily felt her body stiffen.

"What should I do so you can stop being mad at me?" he asked in a low voice as he moved closer to her.

Feeling his breath enveloping her entire body, Emily was unable to move an inch. When she was with him, there was no room for resistance.

From the first time that she saw him, Emily was instantly attracted to his warm aura and fell in love with him at first sight. No matter what he said or did, she trusted him wholeheartedly.

Though she knew that he still loved Ariah, Emily still chose to give him her unconditional love.

Even so...

There would be a day where she'd be crushed and hurt by his actions. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The grievances she had suffered in the past didn't mean that she was alright with it. All she lacked was a trigger point.

As memories flooded her mind, Emily felt completely heartbroken.

"Why don't you say something?"

Seeing that her body stiffened and she didn't utter a word, Kobi asked. The blush on her face made him smile even wider.

He knew that she had never been able to resist his good looks.

Emily rarely got angry with him. No matter what he did, she would just follow or let him be. Sometimes when he was busy with work, she would get angry with him for not spending time with her, but if he coaxed her, her anger would dissipate completely.

Therefore, he was confident that it would be the same this time-as long as he coaxed her like before, she would no longer be angry at him.

"You're blaming me for not coming to look for you these few days, aren't you?"

Letting his words out almost breathlessly, Kobi sounded weak. Lying on top of Emily, he continued with a hoarse voice, "I wanted to see you too, but the nurses wouldn't let me get out of bed..."

"Don't be angry with me anymore. After I'm discharged from the hospital, I will spend more time with you. What do you say?"

If it were old times, Emily would have fallen under his soft and mellow coaxing.

Sometimes, she would even feel much better after hearing his simple words of affection.

However, this time...

"Kobi, what makes you think that I will forgive you after you've done those hurtful things to me?"

Amidst the silence, Emily suddenly opened her mouth. She then slowly lifted her stiff arms and pushed him off from her.

Falling back into his bed, Kobi was slightly stunned. Emily could even see that there was a tiny bit of incredulity in his eyes.

Looking into his eyes, she felt sad for her old self.

How naive was she in the past? Was it that shocking to him that she tried to push him off from her?

Sitting up, Emily challenged, "You think I'm easy to fool, don't you? You think as long as you say something nice, I'll forget everything hurtful you've done to me."

Frowning, Kobi asked, "What do you mean?"

"Can't you figure out yourself since you're so smart?"

"Emily..."

"Stop calling me. I won't listen to your nonsense anymore."

Feeling brave, Emily interrupted, "Kobi, you knew I've regained my memories so I remember what you did to me. That's why you're afraid that I'll do something to hurt you back, so now you're trying to mend things between us, aren't you?"

Hearing that, Kobi pulled a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what you did to me."

Saying those words made her feel a little guilty, because she had already told Ariah everything.

Seeing that she kept avoiding his stare, Kobi narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "Who did you tell?" Not daring to let anything slip out of her mouth, Emily kept quiet.

Nervous, she bit her lips. How did that smart brain of his guess what she was thinking?

Feeling a sudden tightness on her chin, Emily realized Kobi was pinching her. Kobi asked again, "Who did you tell?"

His eyes turned cold, and the look he gave Emily was completely different from the one before when he was trying to coax her.

Seeing Kobi like this, Emily felt bitter. Indeed, he was afraid that she'd expose him, which was why he behaved like that earlier.

Did he always have an intention behind everything he did for her?

"Tell me!"

Growling, Kobi pinched her chin harder.

Flicking his hand away, Emily answered, "I've already told Ariah what you've done and your real character, now she knows everything. Oh, perhaps Jimmy would have also known all the things you did by now."

With every word she said, Kobi's face darkened.

"So? Do you still want to kill me now?" Emily got up from the bed and sneered. "Even if you wanted to kill me, are you capable of doing so? Look at yourself, all injured and almost losing your life. You're useless now!"

After venting all her anger, she looked down upon him like a queen.

Not expecting this to happen, Kobi was stunned at first, then he squinted his eyes slightly. Unable to turn his eyes away, he stared at her as if it was the first time he had met her.

Wasn't it the first time she had fought back? Emily had never been so straightforward with him in the past few years.

Never had she thrown a tantrum in front of him. With him, she was always soft-spoken and mild- tempered; always telling him that she loved him.

Whatever he said, she would agree. She would never fight back.

Now that she had suddenly become another person, he couldn't get used to it.

Seeing that he just stared at her with burning eyes without uttering a word, Emily felt a little bit guilty. Although she felt that it was very cool to be able to look down on him, her scalp tingled after that.

The way he looked at her made her feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

Turning around, Emily was going to head towards the door and leave. She didn't want to stay any longer in the same room as him.

"Did I say you can leave?" Kobi's voice suddenly rang behind her.

Rolling her eyes, Emily kept walking until she left the room.

Left alone in the room, Kobi was at a loss for words.

Ariah felt that there was something wrong with Jimmy tonight. Besides keeping quiet most of the time, he kept staring at her.

As soon as they got home, he started staring at her. After she took a shower and came out of the bathroom, his eyes never left her. Even when she dried her hair, his eyes were still fixed on her.

Under his sharp gaze, she felt goosebumps crawling all over her body.

All of a sudden, the phone next to her rang, and a message popped up.

It was from David, "Ariah, are you at home with Jimmy already?"

Curious, Ariah asked, "Did anything happen?"

After a while, David replied, "Uhm, it's nothing. I was just asking. By the way, did you notice anything unusual with Jimmy tonight?"

Feeling impatient, Ariah texted back, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Hesitating, David replied, "I have nothing to say..."

As their conversation continued, Ariah grew frustrated and sent a straightforward reply, "Then why did you ask if Jimmy was acting strange? Do you think I don't know that you're holding in? Tell me the truth. What is it?"
