James turned around and left.The director shouted behind him, “Lydia is a decent woman! She’ll make a lovely wife!”James ignored him and returned to Thea’s ward.Running around the hospital the whole night had exhausted him. He lay back against sofa and gently massaged his temples.While he was taking care of his business, Thea did not sleep at all.“Honey, can you come over and have a conversation with me?” Thea tried once again to talk to James.James raised his head and looked at her.Seeing her hapless expression on her face, he sighed. He felt bad for Thea and wanted nothing more than to protect her with his life.However, he did not have time for that right now.James moved a chair over and sat beside her bed. He held onto her hand and said, “I’ve been really tired lately and don’t have the energy to spend on a conversation. It’s not that I’m ignoring you, so don’t take it personally.”Thea started sobbing and said, “Honey, let’s go get married again once I’m discha

“I’m at the Military Hospital.”“Okay, we’ll come over right away.”After James informed them of his location, he put away his phone and fell back into his thoughts.Zane and Cynthia arrived shortly after.James was still sitting on the staircase at the inpatient ward’s entrance when they arrived. “James!”An excited voice came from close by.James came back to his senses and raised his head.A girl in her 20s dressed in a white dress ran up to him cheerily. Her long black hair danced with the breeze as she rushed to him.Soon, she stopped in front of James.James stood up and greeted her, “Cynthia.”Cynthia’s beautiful face held an expression of delight. She clasped James' hand and beamed brightly at him. “I finally get to see you again after so long! How are you getting on? Are you doing better?”James uttered gently, “Nothing much has changed, but at least I won’t die for the time being.”A few moments later, a burly man caught up to them.“Mr. Dawn,” James greeted hi

That entire discussion completely drained what was left of James’ mental energy.Nodding lightly at Quincy, he tiredly lay on on the sofa. “Alright. I just close my eyes for a minute.”Cynthia stood up and said, “I’ll help you upstairs, James.”“Okay.”With Cynthia’s help, James was guided to a guest bedroom on the second floor.She left him to rest in the room and gently closed the door. Then, Cynthia headed downstairs.She plopped herself on the sofa next to Quincy and grinned cheekily at her. “So, how far have both of you gone?”Quincy rolled her eyes and gave a terse reply, “Stop that. There’s nothing between us.”“Pfft. Do you think I’m stupid? You literally look at him with lovestruck eyes.” Cynthia pouted, mildly disappointed at Quincy’s blase response.Quincy sighed softly.She stopped herself from considering a future with James and what that would look like. She knew that while Thea still clung to him, it was impossible for him and Quincy to have a happy ending.Seei

Quincy was troubled by the situation. She paused for a moment before speaking to Tiara again, “It’s raining out here. You should come inside first.”Tiara shook her head.Cynthia walked over, tugged at her wrist, and said, “Come inside. James isn’t feeling too well right now and is resting. You can see him when he wakes up.”Tiara finally agreed when presented with that argument.After entering the villa, a maid got her a cup of warm water.Tiara picked it up and took a sip.Cynthia looked at Quincy, pulled her aside, and whispered, “What should we do, Quincy?”Quincy shrugged. “Why’re you asking me? How would I know? We should wait for James to wake up and talk to her himself.”She had never heard James mention anything about marrying Tiara, but it was not her place to question him. Afterall, it was not like Quincy and James were actually together. Quincy exhaled sharply.James’ relationships were a mess. He had not settled his relationship with Thea, and here was Tiara, co
Chapter 791
James was now alone with Tiara in the living room. He was unsure of what to say to a pure and innocent young lady like her. Their previous sexual intercourse was a misunderstanding. Someone had set James up, but in theory, he should be responsible for her as a man. However, as there was too much burden on his shoulders, there was nothing he could do. Any promise he made would be paying lip service. It would only break her heart further down the line. “Umm… Tiara… Actually, I…” James looked at Tiara apologetically and said, “I heard about your situation. Though I wish to take responsibility for my actions, there’s simply too much I have to bear at the moment. Besides, my body’s in terrible shape. I could die anytime. I also have Thea to consider…” Hearing this, Tiara lifted her head and cut James short. “I know, James. I didn’t want to come looking for you, but I can’t suppress my emotions. You’re a national hero. There isn’t a single woman who doesn’t adore you. I’m not
Chapter 792
“Oh, I see.” Thea did not think much about it. Although she knew that James had sexual relations with a woman, she did not know her name. Besides, it was a misunderstanding, after all. Thus, Thea did not put two and two together. James had a huge lump in his throat. He thought that Tiara would seek to sow discord between him and Thea. He did not expect her to be this thoughtful. Deep down, he sighed. Though she was a fine woman, he owed her greatly. He wondered how many hearts he would continue to break in the future. James believed that fate was cruel to Tiara. However, upon deeper contemplation, it was in fact he who was being cruel. If he had been a more responsible and reliable man, Tiara would not have had to go through such hardships. Upon being reminded of these complex questions, James had a headache. Wearing a pained expression, he groaned. Since Quincy had told Tiara about James’ condition, she knew that he had a headache. She hurriedly said, “James, Quincy told
Chapter 793
After being admitted to the hospital for half a month, the gun wound on her leg had healed. Although she had not recuperated completely, she merely needed some rest and everything would simply work out. The Callahans were here to take her home. After James gave the 10 billion dollars to Thea, Gladys bought a new villa near the Callahans’ villa. All the Callahans were here on the day Thea was discharged. Now, Thea was the one who controlled the family’s finances. That was why every single of her relatives was buttering her up. “Thea, Eternality has expanded its production recently. Business is booming because of you!” “Your title as Asclepius really helped us a lot here.” “I think it’s time for some reforms. We can’t continue ordering from other businesses. We have to pour money into our own R&D and produce medicine ourselves. Then, we will list the company on the stock exchange.” The Callahans surrounded Thea and bombarded her with flattering remarks. Meanwhile, The

“Wait…” James stopped Tiara from leaving. Tiara turned and asked, “Is anything else the matter?” James looked Thea in the eye and said, “I hired her to take care of me. She’s not a maid of the Callahans. If you need someone to wash your clothes, go get yourself a maid.” “What do you mean by that?” Thea’s face darkened, and she roared, “Since she lives here, she’s our servant. What’s wrong with asking her to do some chores? Besides, did you really hire her? Don’t think I don’t know that you two have been exchanging glances and whispering to each other all this while. Do you take me for a fool, James? “She’ll have to listen to me if she wants to stay in this villa. Otherwise, she’s free to leave anytime.” James stood up and said, “Tiara, get my wheelchair. We’re leaving.” Tearfully, Thea grabbed James’ arm and pleaded, “It’s my fault, James. Please don’t leave.” James sighed and sat down. Unwilling to see James and Thea quarrel, Tiara hurriedly said, “It's fine, James.
