Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 555

Ariah didn't sleep well all night. The next day, she was woken up by a call.

With a blurry vision, she squinted at the caller ID for a long time before picking it up. "Hello..."

"It's me." Kobi's voice came from the phone. "Haven't you woken up yet?"

"I just woke up." Ariah felt her throat was a little uncomfortable and cleared her throat. "Why did you call me all of a sudden?"

"Why do you sound like you have a sore throat?"

"Ah, I'm fine." Ariah smiled. "I probably caught a cold yesterday. Anyway, what are you calling me for?"

"Have you forgotten about our arrangement last night?"

An arrangement?

Ariah thought about it carefully for a while before she understood what he meant. "You're free now, aren't you?"

"Yep, I'm free all day."

"Cool, I'll give Anna a call. If she's willing to get a consultation today, I'll bring her to see you later."

After making an appointment with Kobi, Ariah dialed Anna's number. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. "Hey..." "Anna, it's me."

A while later, Anna's cold laughter rang out. "What? Are you calling to check if I'm still alive?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in her tone, Ariah said, "I've found you an expert in this field. If you're free, come to the hospital today."

Upon saying that, Ariah hung up as she didn't want to waste her time explaining any further.

Besides, she felt quite dizzy now. She was probably getting a cold.

In the past few years, she had always been in good condition and hardly got ill.

Surprisingly, last night's fight with Jimmy had caused her to catch a cold.

Thinking about that b*stard, Ariah couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She had never realized that he was such a petty man who liked to hold grudges. How could he leave her after she had confessed everything truthfully?

With a sigh, Ariah got up and went to wash up. Before leaving home, she called Jimmy, but he didn't answer still.

She was very angry but went to work, anyway...

An hour later, when she arrived at the hospital, she saw Anna waiting for her from afar. Ariah slowly walked over and Anna snorted. "You said there's a way to cure my disease? What is it?" Ariah just signalled her to follow. "Come with me."

Seeing the smug look on Ariah, Anna was frustrated. However, she had no choice but to follow.

Upon entering her office, Ariah didn't treat her like a patient. Instead, she said casually, "There's a sofa over there. If you wanna drink water, then go and get some in the kitchen."

Then, she ignored Anna and started busying herself with her own matters.

Seeing that, Anna couldn't help saying, "Hey, I'm your patient. How can you just leave me by myself?"

Instantly, Ariah looked up from the documents in surprise. "Since when are you my patient? I've made it very clear on the phone. I've found you a specialist, so it's not me who's treating you." With a snort, she then added, "You're free to leave if you don't wanna get the treatment."

Anna glared at her. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Leaning back, Ariah looked at her calmly. "What do you mean?"

"You're trying to humiliate me! You know that my illness is dependent on you, so you could act however you want! You must be quite amused to see me begging you now, don't you?"

"Done?" Ariah looked at her with her arms crossed.

On the other hand, Anna bit her lip.

"Anna, let's admit it. We don't like each other, so what do you expect?" Ariah raised her eyebrows and added, "Or do you want me to show you gentleness so you could feel much at ease?"

"I..."

"Just face it. We hate each other. There's no need for us to act like we're friends!" Ariah put down the document. "Anyway, I've invited the expert over for you, but he hasn't arrived yet. The decision to wait for him or not is all up to you."

After that, she got up and went out.

Dazed, Anna stared at her back and suddenly blurted out, "Why... are you willing to help me?"

Hearing that, Ariah just shrugged her shoulders. "Well, call yourself lucky."

"What do you mean?" Anna asked in a puzzle.

"I'm a petty woman and I definitely will never help my husband's lover... Luckily, you have nothing to do with Jimmy, so I don't mind helping you at all."

Anna gaped at her. She didn't expect it to be for this reason!

If she had been involved with Jimmy, Ariah would have probably done her nothing in favor and just watched her being tortured.

"You're a mean woman!" Anna commented hatefully.

Ariah didn't care. "Whatever, just as long you quit messing with me."

Upon saying that, she ignored Anna and went out.

In the kitchen, Ariah took some medicine for her cold, along with some tea. Only then did she feel much better.

Then, thinking that Kobi should be coming soon, she went back to her office, just in time to see that her assistant was taking Kobi into her office. "Dr. Myers!"

The assistant spotted her too and called out, "There's a Mr. Hudson here for you. I was just gonna take him to see you."

Immediately, Ariah walked over and smiled at Kobi. "Hey, the patient is waiting for you inside."

Kobi nodded and entered the room.

Ariah was about to follow, but the assistant

stopped her. "Dr. Myers, hold on."

"What's the matter?"

"Who's that? He's so handsome! Is he your boyfriend?" The assistant blushed and looked rather gossipy. "If he's not your boyfriend yet, you'd better hurry up. It'll be a pity to miss such a good man!" Choked at her words, Ariah gave her a flick on the forehead. "What are you talking about? He has a fiancee already, and we're just friends!"

"Really?" The assistant looked disappointed.

Then, thinking of something, Ariah turned around and added, "Oh, by the way, I'm already married, so stop matching me with someone else."

Hearing that, the assistant looked shocked.

"Wait, so the rumor that you're married is true?"

Everyone in the hospital had speculated that Ariah was married, but there was no evidence that could point it out. Besides, Ariah had kept a low profile, so no one knew for sure.

The assistant did not expect that Ariah would take the initiative to reveal it today.

Instantly, she became excited and asked, "Dr. Myers, who's your other half? Is it the man who came to find you the other time? He seemed quite masculine and the way you two looked at each other was very different."

Besides, she saw the man lean against Dr. Myers on the desk, which was an intimate act that could only happen between couples!
