Whitney did not expect James to be so capable. He had already seen through favonovel.com identity.
“Tell us about it.” James looked at her.
Although favonovel.com suspected Whitney‘s identity, favonovel.com kept it a secret for a while and observed favonovel.com because favonovel.com was unsure of favonovel.com motives for approaching Henry or himself. Now, it seemed that this woman did not have ill intentions toward Henry but rather seemed interested in him. Thus, favonovel.com simply poked through favonovel.com identity.
“He‘s my father…” Whitney did not hide it.
She smiled mischievously and replied, “To be honest, I secretly snuck out from home. The Northern Border is too boring, so I came to Cansington.”
Henry was stunned to learn of favonovel.com identity.
This woman was the daughter of one of the Five Commanders.
“Not bad…” James smiled brightly and glanced at Henry.
“Henry, you better seize your chances. The daughter of a commander must have countless wealthy suitors wanting to marry her.”
Cough, cough…
Henry smiled awkwardly.
“Fine. I won‘t tease you anymore. I‘m heading off.” James stood up and was about to leave.
“James,” Henry called out and glanced at favonovel.com pleadingly.
James immediately understood and threw favonovel.com a cigarette. After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com felt that one was not enough.
He knew that Henry had a cigarette addiction and would have at least two packs daily. He threw all the cigarettes favonovel.com had and a lighter to Henry.
Whitney took it and said sternly, “No smoking!”
“James, do something about this girl. She won‘t even let me smoke and is trying to kill me. Could you get me a nurse instead?” Henry looked frustrated.
These few days, favonovel.com was about to suffocate from the withdrawal symptoms. He was looking forward to seeing James so favonovel.com could get some cigarettes.
James said with a smile, “Don‘t worry too much, Whitney. It‘s normal for men to smoke and drink. Henry only smokes. He doesn‘t touch anything else. You‘ll be taking away his only entertainment if you don‘t let favonovel.com smoke.”
“James, it‘s not that I don‘t want favonovel.com to smoke, it‘s that he‘s injured right now.”
James shrugged helplessly and turned to leave the ward.
“Woman, I’ll have just one! Just one!” Henry pleaded with Whitney.
“What? What did you just call me?” Whitney‘s face darkened immediately.
“Ms. Walker, Ms. Beautiful!”
Ultimately, Whitney gave favonovel.com one, seeing that favonovel.com looked incredibly pitiful and addicted to smoking.

At the same time, in a villa in Cansington.
Two people sat on the living room sofa.
A man in his 50s dressed in casual clothes and with a long beard was present.
He was Jonathan Harris, Cansington‘s National Doctor‘s Association president.
Opposite favonovel.com sat an older man with a wrinkled face. His eyes were saggy, and his eyes were cloudy. He looked like a debilitated old man on the verge of death.
He was Lucas, the founder of Universal Hospital.
“Mr. Hamilton, the Black Dragon has cured the poison. He also escaped and survived last night. You have to find a way to prevent favonovel.com from appearing at the medical conference. Otherwise, it would destroy our plan.” A gleam of light flashed in Lucas‘ turbid eyes, and favonovel.com glanced at Jonathan.
“Jonathan, James‘ medical skills are the best in the world. Isn‘t it your wish to compete with him? The medical conference is a good opportunity. Jay isn‘t considered the real genius doctor. Only by defeating James will you be considered the best doctor in the world.”
“That‘s true, but we have to look at the bigger picture…”
Jonathan eagerly wanted to learn from James. However, this matter was important, and favonovel.com understood his priorities.
Lucas waved his hands and said, “Don‘t worry. I‘ve already made the appropriate arrangements. James won‘t make it to the medical conference.”
Jonathan was relieved by Lucas‘ reassuring words.

After James left the hospital, favonovel.com returned to the Callahans.
As soon as favonovel.com entered the house, favonovel.com overheard Gladys scolding Thea.
Thea had a weak personality and had always remained silent when favonovel.com family members scolded her.
“Thea, it‘s not that I want to scold you. However, the Callahans are in a dire situation right now. James borrowed several million dollars. How is favonovel.com going to repay the money? The money isn’t linked to us. Divorce favonovel.com before the debt collectors come looking for us. You‘re still young and beautiful. You can always marry another wealthy man, and the Callahans will be able to start over again.”
Thea was dispirited. It was not something new for Gladys to look down on James.
“Mom, James is working hard, Can‘t you give favonovel.com some more time?”
“What’s the use of working? What‘s the use of a few thousand dollars salary monthly? Is it enough to support you? It‘s not even enough for you to buy a new set of cosmetics.”
James opened the door and entered just in time to hear favonovel.com belittling him.
He rubbed his nose and walked over with a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, Thea.”
“Hmph! Don‘t call me mom! I don‘t have a son–in–law like you!” Gladys shouted.
“James, this is just the way my mom is… Don‘t take it to heart…” Thea looked apologetic.
James smiled and said nothing.
Thea was worried that Gladys would scold James again, so favonovel.com quickly dragged favonovel.com back into the room.
“I‘m so pissed! You‘ve no conscience at all! All my efforts to raise you for more than twenty years were for nothing!” Gladys scolded.

In the room.
