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

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.

James lay on the bed and rested. Soon, Thea was done showering. Draped in a towel, she walked over to James, who was deep in contemplation, and asked with a delighted smile on her face, “Am I pretty, honey?” Hearing this, James glanced at her. Thea just came out of the shower, so her wet hair was a bit messy but also enticing. Upon seeing this, James gulped. Then, he said smilingly, “What a shame that my body is in terrible shape.” Thea got on the bed and lay beside James. Embracing him in her arms, she consoled him gently, “You’re gonna be fine. By the way, I noticed that you’ve been busy reading something. What book is it?” “Just an ordinary medical book. I tried looking for ways to cure Gu venom, but after flipping through the pages day and night, I found nothing.” James said nothing about the second volume of the medicinal book. “Oh.” Thea continued, “Don’t overthink things. Everything will be alright.” James put his thoughts aside and entered into a state of de
Chapter 796
James asked, “What do you wanna ask?” “I…” Tiara blushed. Thankfully, James could not see her face as she was pushing his wheelchair. Lately, she had been hearing a lot of rumors. She heard that although James and Thea were married for quite some time, they had yet to have sexual relations. Triar was curious about the topic, but she felt that it was embarrassing to bring up the subject. “Thea has a nice figure,” she said in a roundabout manner, “If I was a man, I would have fallen in love with her.” “Cut to the chase, Tiara.” James did not know what Tiara was trying to say. To him, a woman’s mind was perhaps the most complex thing of all. Tiara whispered, “I heard that you haven’t yet had sexual relations with her. Is that true?” “Yes, it’s true,” James admitted. “Oh.” After remaining silent for some time, she continued, “Actually, I-I’m fine with it.” “Huh?” James froze. ‘What is she trying to say?’ Tiara's cheeks were bright red. “Well, I heard that men have

James looked at Blake and waited for him to speak. Blake took a deep breath and said, “You’d never guess what was being researched in that lab in the mountains.” James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What did you find?” Blake continued, “You know about Gu venom, don’t you? It’s one of the most venomous things in the world. It takes years, even centuries, to raise a Gu. Each Gu possesses deadly poison and unknown viruses. What’s most scary about them is the virus they carry.” “What are you trying to say?” With a grim expression, Blake said, “The research laboratory is conducting research on viruses.” “Viruses?!” James was stunned. “Have you ever heard of the Undead Warrior?” Blake asked. James shook his head. “No.” Blake explained, “By using viruses to change the cellular structure of the human body, the individual will gain immense strength. Not only that, he will lose his physical senses and become a ruthless and cold-blooded puppet warrior that only obeys commands
