The Almighty Dragon General Chapter 776

Quincy’s nonchalant response made James’ embarrassment even more pronounced.

“U-Um, could you get out of the bathroom first? I need to get dressed.”

“Okay,” Quincy replied while her eyes peered at the bathtub as if she was trying to check something.

After a glance, she turned and left the bathroom.

James sighed in relief.

Then, he got out of the bath and quickly got dressed.

After putting on his clothes, he walked out.

Quincy had already set the table for them.

When he sat next to her, she passed him a set of utensils.

James took them and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, James’ phone rang.

He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a while, he denied the call.

“Who was it? Why didn’t you answer it?”

James simply put his phone back down and picked his utensils up again. “I didn’t recognize the
number. It must have been one of those telemarketers.”

Shortly after turning down the call, his phone rang again.



It was the same number.

This time, James answered it.

A shrill voice screamed at him from the other end of the phone, “James, where are you?! Get over
here! Now!”

It was a familiar voice. Its owner was none other than Thea’s mother, Gladys.

James furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You have the gall to ask me?! I’m warning you. If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll never forgive
you! Thea is trying to commit suicide because of you!”

“What?!” James’ expression immediately changed.

“What happened?” He pressed her for more information.

“She’s trying to jump off a building.”

James replied immediately, “I-I’ll rush over right now.”

Seeing his alarmed expression, Quincy could not help but ask, “What’s the matter? What happened?”

James turned to her helplessly. “It’s Thea’s mother. She said that Thea is trying to jump off a building.”

“What?”

Quincy urged James in distress, “Then why are you still standing there? Come on, I’ll drive you there!”

“Sorry about the trouble.”

“What do you mean trouble? Thea’s life is at stake! Let’s hurry.”



After leaving the villa, they immediately rushed to the military hospital.

Military Hospital, inpatient ward, eight-floor window.

Thea was sitting on the edge of the window.

Many onlookers gathered downstairs.

Thea’s family was also inside the ward trying to stop her.

Quincy had already informed Thea’s family about her condition in the morning, and they all were there
to visit her.

Inside the ward, Gladys looked at Thea sitting by the window and pleaded with her, “Thea, what are
you doing?! Please come back inside! We can discuss your problems after you come in, okay?”

“Thea, don’t be so upset. It’s not a big deal. You should come back inside.”

“Thea, you won’t listen to your grandpa anymore?”

Thea’s family members were trying to talk her out of her decision.

“D-Don’t come near me!”

Thea looked at her family inside the ward and threatened as she cried hysterically, “Come any closer,
and I’ll jump! James doesn’t want me! He doesn’t want me anymore!”

Her tears poured down her face.

Thea’s family was worried that she would be overwhelmed by her emotions and jump off, so they
refrained from approaching her.



Gladys instructed everyone, “Everyone! Quick, step back.”:

Everyone quickly backed away.

Quincy drove over to the hospital like a bat out of hell.

Throughout the whole car ride, James did not utter a single word.

He stayed away from Thea because he did not want her to get hurt again.

As long as he stayed with her, the Emperor would surely exploit his weakness over and over.

Soon, his battle with the political fractions was going to be intense.

He wanted to give off the appearance of a man who had no weaknesses, so his opponents would not
have any ammunition against him.

Never did he expect Thea to commit suicide because of his consideration to her safety.
