While Bobby comforted Thea, he turned to James and smiled playfully. James walked over, clenched
his fist, and swung it at Bobby.
“Ouch! That hurt!”
Bobby covered the spot where he was hit and screamed desolately.
Thea cursed furiously, “You useless piece of trash, James! What are you doing? Get out of here! I don’t
want to see you!” “You better be careful. Don’t be deceived and think you’re just lucky. Not everyone
who treats you well is genuine.”
James left a reminder and did not say anything more.
He turned around and left the ward.
He knew it was useless to say more since he had no place in Thea’s heart. After he left, Bobby stood
up with a pained expression. He said with dissatisfaction, “Who is this person? Why is he so
overbearing?”
Thea, who was lying on the hospital bed, said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. That was my
ex-husband.”
“Ex-husband? No wonder.” Bobby acted as if he just came to realization. Outside the ward. James sat
on a chair in the corridor and lit a cigarette.
“James…”
Seeing the pained expression on James’ face, Cynthia felt sympathetic toward him. Yet, she did not
know how to comfort him.
“Sir, smoking isn’t allowed here.”
A nurse came over and reminded him.
James got up, turned, and left.
Cynthia followed him.
Outside the hospital.
James glanced at Cynthia and said, “You’ve been following me around all day. You should go home
and rest.”
“How can I feel at ease when you’re like this, James?” James laughed sarcastically and said, “I’m an
old man. You don’t have to worry about me. Go back home. I’m fine.”
After James finished speaking, he did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Cynthia frowned.
This time, she did not chase after him.
James returned to the House of Royals.He lay down on the sofa.His mind was running all over the
place.He was worried, not knowing what tricks Bobby was trying to play.He took out his phone and
called Quincy.
“Quincy, Thea is in the hospital. Go and check on her.”
Quincy had just gotten off work and was on her way home.
After receiving a call from James, she could not help but ask, “What’s the matter? Why is she in the
hospital?” James briefly explained what happened throughout the day.
“Is Thea stupid?” Quincy was furious.
James replied helplessly, “She’s not listening to me. Visit her and persuade her to be more cautious
around Bobby.” “Alright. I’m going to the hospital right now.” James hung up the phone. He rolled off the
sofa and picked up a cigarette from the table.
The more he smoked, the more upset he got. At the same time, in Southern Plains City. An overseas
bus was driving on a desolate road. Dozens of people were on the bus. These people came from
different countries and were traveling to Sol for vacation. Everyone grew sleepy as they listened to the
tour guide introduce their next destination.
Suddenly, a group of unidentified people rushed into the bus and hijacked it. Then, they tied all the
tourists up.
The night passed silently. James fell asleep on the sofa at the House of Royals.
It was already the next morning when he woke up.
He rolled off the sofa and got up. He rubbed his eyes and picked up the phone on the table. Then, he
looked at it and saw it was eight in the morning. He was still sleepy, so he fell back on the sofa and
continued to sleep.
