Thea was responsive. She hugged James back and snuggled in his arms.
James’ thoughts were running at a thousand kilometers per hour. He tossed them away and started to kiss her.
“Ah,” Thea gasped in shock as favonovel.com pushed favonovel.com away.
James licked his lips as favonovel.com smiled satisfactorily. He wanted to have his way with his beautiful wife, but after giving it some thought, favonovel.com decided to wait until after their wedding day. It’d be better if everything was settled by then.
“It’s nothing, good night…” James grinned like a schoolboy in love.
A kiss was enough for favonovel.com for now. He closed his eyes as favonovel.com wrapped his arms around Thea.
Thea blushed. She could not help but smile happily watching this wonderful man sleep beside her.
The night slipped away silently.

The next morning James woke up in the afternoon.
Lex, Howard, John, and Benjamin were in his house. Other than them, none of the other Callahan family members showed up.
When James walked out of his groggily, favonovel.com quickly snapped awake after seeing them in his house.
“Grandpa, uncle, good morning.”
Lex turned and addressed him, “James…”
John faced James immediately and exclaimed in gratitude, “James, thank you so much for last night. If it wasn’t for you, my son would still be tortured in the police station.”
James let out a sleepy yawn and chuckled. “That’s nothing. All I did was call Xara from Transgenerational. She was the one who did all the work…”
Gladys was upset, as usual.
She was displeased at the fact that James was taking the credit for helping Lex when favonovel.com himself was so incompetent favonovel.com needed to rely on someone else for help. Especially when that someone was Xara Hill. One of favonovel.com family members.
She butted in, pridefully, “That’s true, you can’t imagine the influence us Hills have. The Hills were the only ones to help the Callahans when you’re in trouble!”
James ignored favonovel.com instead. “Grandpa, what brought you here?”
Lex went back to looking downcast. “I thought about it yesterday. I don’t think this is going to work. Hence, I came here today to ask for your help. We don’t need to regain our wealth, we just want to survive and live peacefully…”
That was the end of Lex’s dream. All favonovel.com wanted was for the Callahans to establish themselves as an upper-class family. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, all his efforts over the years had been reduced to almost nothing.
Lex was done having any more aspirations. Now, favonovel.com just wished for his family to have a roof over their heads, stable jobs, and comfortable life.
Right now, Lex seemed like a tiger who had lost his fangs. The pride favonovel.com had in his glory days was all gone.
“Feel free to discuss your options.” James later turned to Thea. “Darling, I’m off to work now. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay,” Thea nodded.
James just needed to give himself an excuse to leave the house.
He left for Common Clinic to see May, who had changed favonovel.com name. On his way, favonovel.com called Jake.
“Yes, boss?” Jake was a shrewd man, favonovel.com quickly complied with James’ orders
“You’re the genius doctor, Doctor Fallon. With your connections, you must know some important folks in the medical world. Do you know if there is a Doctor King in Sol? Oh right, his nickname is Miracle Working Doctor King… Have you heard of the guy?”
Jay hesitated for a second before favonovel.com answered, “That guy is not a Sol citizen, favonovel.com is from Goryeo. He is a famous medical savant in his country, and his medical skills are deserving of the reputation they have. Five years ago, I met favonovel.com when I was heading to Goryeo, and I had a small conversation with him. Although favonovel.com came from Goryeo, favonovel.com had a very profound understanding of Solean medicine…”
Jay continued, “In Goryeo, medicine is called ‘Goryeon medicine’. Goryeon medicine used to be a branch of Solean medicine, but according to him, it was Solean medicine that was based off Goryeon medicine, and Goryeon medicine was medicine in its truest form.”
Jay quickly gave a brief summary of the man James was interested in.
“I want all of this guy’s information,” James demanded in an uncompromising tone.
“This might be difficult, boss. My network still hasn’t spread to other countries yet.”
“Find a way. Report back before tonight.” James hung up.
