Soon, James was back. He pushed the door of Common Clinic open and walked in. Whitney immediately stood up and greeted, “Hey, James.” “Mhm.” James lightly nodded and looked at Thea, whose eyes were glued to the screen. He walked over there and sat beside her. “Are you alright, Thea?” “Yes.” Thea looked at James and pointed at the TV. “W-What’s going on? G-Gavin’s dead?’ James nodded and said, “I know that the Watsons are influential. Since calling the police wouldn’t work, I reported them to the military. The higher-ups took my report seriously, and the Blithe King himself led an army to Osmanthus villa and exterminated them all. Since Gavin resisted arrest, he was killed on the spot.” “By the way, Maximus is dead too. With him gone, there’ll be no one else targeting the Callahans.” “T-The Blithe King himself?” Thea was shocked. “Of course. This is Cansington which the Blithe King holds jurisdiction over. He would not stand idly and watch these wicked people act as

Seeing that Thea was safe, Gladys rushed toward her, crying tears of joy. “Thea, you’re fine! Thank goodness. I was just watching the news. They said Maximus and the others had an illegal gathering at Osmanthus villa. I thought you…” “Mom, I’m alright. James reported the incident to the military. It’s all thanks to him that we’re fine.” “By the way, where’s Dave? Where’s your brother?” “Where’s my husband? Did anything happen to him?” Seeing that David was not there with them, Alyssa burst into tears. “David, how could you leave us just like that? Our child isn’t even born yet…” “Mom, he’s alright. He was injured and sent to the hospital. Let’s visit him.” Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they headed straight to the hospital. As David was sent to the hospital early, his operation was already over. He lay on the bed in the special ward and looked at the ceiling, daydreaming. Today’s incident had been too shocking. He thought it was the end fo

Thea’s mind was clear after all she had experienced. She loved James. James had a place in her heart. She remembered how James treated her injuries. She remembered James’ meticulous care and attention toward her. She suggested they showered together. She wanted James to be her first. James looked at Thea in a daze. Then, he grinned mischievously and asked, “Is that so? You better think again. I’m not forcing you.” “If you don’t want to, then so be it.” Thea blushed and made her way to the bathroom. James scratched his nose. He wanted to make a move on her. However, now was not the time. He still had business to deal with. Besides, he had not held a wedding ceremony with Thea yet. He planned to officially marry her after dealing with everything. It would be a grand wedding ceremony, the envy of all. Only then would he have his first with Thea. Thea went to shower. Soon, she was done. Wrapped in a towel, her hair was wet and water droplets were dripping from

They kissed. Then, they hugged. Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, knocks came from the door. As if they were doing something wrong, they jumped with alarm and wrung free of each other immediately. James cleared his throat. “Who is it?” He was displeased. ‘Who’s knocking on the door? How rude. I almost had it. How dare they interrupt me?’ Gladys’ voice came from the door. She shouted, “Open the door! Lex is calling for a family meeting. He’s demanding everyone joins.” “In the middle of the night? Come on!” James was displeased. Thea, on the other hand, was already dressed. She was quick. She had gotten dressed before James could even react. Blushing, she smiled at James. “M-Maybe next time…” What else could James say? Next time, then. He put on his clothes. After getting dressed, they walked out of the room. “What took you two so long?” Gladys was annoyed. Suddenly, she noticed something. She stared at Thea and saw that her cheeks were red. She underst

She asked, “Grandpa, how’s Eternality doing at the moment?” Lex raised his eyebrow and glanced at her. “What? You dare ask? You humiliated the Watsons, and now, they’re targeting us. Celestial Group and Longevity Pharmaceuticals have already terminated their contracts with us. Not only that, they’re now suing us by saying there are quality concerns with our products. Eternality has been sealed off. The banks are demanding we repay our loans. All businesses under the Callahans have stopped. We now owe hundreds of millions of dollars.” Hearing this, Thea’s face darkened. She never expected the situation to be so grim. “What should we do now?” Lex looked at the crowd. They had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. For decades, Lex had strived to make the Callahans a well-to-do family. Yet, after finally accumulating billions of dollars worth of assets, they had lost everything. He was eighty years of age. He was tired. He no longer wanted to care. He had summoned ever
Chapter 426
Eternality still had a value worth several hundred million dollars.However, the Callahans owed hundreds of millions of dollars, and selling off the company would merely be enough to repay the debts.Bankruptcy and becoming an ordinary household were inevitable.“Honey, do you really have a way to attract investments?”Thea glanced at James doubtfully.James nodded lightly.Attracting investments was a cinch for him.James felt sympathy for Lex and could not bear to see his lifetime effort go down the drain like this.Lex was stubborn because of his obsession.It was his dream to lead the Callahans into glory.In order to achieve his dreams, he was still struggling at such old age when he should be enjoying the rest of his life. Instead, he was still working hard for the family.Additionally, he had a bottom line for doing things.Otherwise, there would be no such thing as household rules enforcing the family members to use down-to-earth methods and not dirty tricks in busi

Inside the ward, Alyssa was bawling her eyes out.David tried to comfort her, “Babe, why are you crying? Let’s look on the bright side. It’s already a miracle that I survived. ”After going through life and death, David reflected on himself and said remorsefully, “It’s my fault, and I can only blame myself for it.”He glanced at James while speaking with gratitude on his face.“J-James, I’m really grateful to you this time. I would be dead in the morgue right now if it weren’t for you.”James was delighted to hear David finally address him by his name, and he subconsciously straightened his body.‘After going through that experience, this kid finally reflected on himself,’ thought James.“Move aside. Let me check on him.”James walked toward the hospital bed.Alyssa stood up immediately with a face covered in tears.James examined David’s legs and hands, then his whole body.David just had surgery, and as the doctor said, whether he could recover and get out of bed to walk i
Chapter 428
Henry’s condition had already stabilized.Now, everything was up to his body to heal itself.The human body was very complex and had an exceptional function—self-healing.In theory, no matter how severe the injuries sustained, the body would repair itself.However, there was also a limit, and exceeding this limit would cause the body’s self-healing ability to be lost.Knowledge about this aspect was recorded in the medical book that James had obtained. The body’s self-repairing ability could be accelerated with medicine to stimulate the body’s various organs, cells, and blood.“J-James, is Henry alright? He will wake up, right?” Whitney eagerly looked at James.“He’ll be alright. He can’t die even if he wanted to with me here, so don’t worry.” James nodded.Whitney was relieved to hear James’ words.After James had prescribed the formula, he stayed in the hospital to accompany Henry for a long time.Near lunchtime, James instructed the doctor to pay close attention to Henry’s
