James smiled and said, “Not at all.”
“Did Thea call you? You didn’t return home last night. She must be worried sick. You should go and
meet her.”
“It’s alright,” James consoled her. “Don’t overthink things.”
Tiara knew James was choosing to stay with her because of her injuries.
She believed that James must be missing Thea terribly. She did not wish to make things difficult for
him.
“James, listen to me…” Tiara said softly, “There’s no need to feel guilty. I’m content as long as I can
remain by your side. Once your body completely rejuvenates and everything is over, I’ll leave by
myself.”
Saying that, she smiled.
“Actually, I plan to study abroad.”
The more Tiara said, the more unwilling James was to leave her side.
“Everything’s fine. I’ll explain things to Thea. Besides, we’re already divorced. I’m only staying with her
because of the Gu venom inside her body. I’ll sever all ties with her once my True Energy is powerful
enough to treat her.”
James had thought long and hard about this. Nothing good would come up between him and Thea. He
could not disappoint a better woman just because of her.
Tiara was delighted to hear that James would keep her company, and a smile unconsciously crept up
on her face.
At the Callahans‘…
After hanging up the call, Thea sat on the sofa and grumbled, “What the hell is he up to? He hasn’t
been back all night.”
She could not figure out where James went.
After brief contemplation, she called Quincy.
Quincy was on her way to Messiah Corporation.
Upon receiving Thea’s call, she turned on speaker mode and asked, “Is anything the matter?”
“Is James by your side?” Thea questioned.
“Yeah, right,” Quincy said. “Don’t overthink things, Thea. I haven’t been in touch with James. for quite
some time now. I don’t know where he is.”
“Then, where could he be?”
“Thea, you don’t understand James at all. You don’t know anything about what he’s doing or what his
plans are. You aren’t a good match for him.”
“That’s not up to you to decide. You definitely know where he is. Please tell me. His body is still weak,
and he hasn’t been back for a whole night.”
Quincy was lost in contemplation.
She knew about James‘ plans.
She knew that James was using his identity as the Callahans‘ son–in–law as a smokescreen to better
carry out his plans. However, since he had had an official falling–out with the Emperor, there was no
need for him to remain hidden anymore.
She believed it was time for James to put an end to his relationship with Thea. Otherwise, if this
dragged on, it would be unfair to Tiara.
“James is at the military hospital. A lot happened last night. As for the specifics, ask him yourself.”
Saying that, she hung up the phone.
Thea frowned.
“Did something happen last night?” She muttered.
Then, she got up and headed out.
At the military hospital…
James was conversing with Tiara when knocks sounded from the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Come in,” James said.
A man in a black shirt and a cap walked in.
His footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
“I knew you would come.
Looking at Gloom, James stood up and pointed at the sofa beside him, “Have a seat.”
Gloom took his seat and glanced at Tiara.
James said, “She’s one of us. Cut to the chase.”
