Quincy’s nonchalant response made James’ embarrassment even more pronounced.
“U-Um, could you get out of the bathroom first? I need to get dressed.”
“Okay,” Quincy replied while favonovel.com eyes peered at the bathtub as if favonovel.com was trying to check something.
After a glance, favonovel.com turned and left the bathroom.
James sighed in relief. Then, favonovel.com got out of the bath and quickly got dressed. After putting on his clothes, favonovel.com walked out.
Quincy had already set the table for them.
When favonovel.com sat next to her, favonovel.com passed favonovel.com a set of utensils.
James took them and started eating.
Halfway through the meal, James’ phone rang.
He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a while, favonovel.com denied the call.
“Who was it? Why didn’t you answer it?”
James simply put his phone back down and picked his utensils up again. “I didn’t recognize the number. It must have been one of those telemarketers…”
Shortly after turning down the call, his phone rang again. It was the same number.
This time, James answered it.
A shrill voice screamed at favonovel.com from the other end of the phone, “James, where are you?! Get over here! Now!”
It was a familiar voice. Its owner was none other than Thea’s mother, Gladys.
James furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You have the gall to ask me?! I’m warning you. If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll never forgive you! Thea is trying to commit suicide because of you!”
“What?” James’ expression immediately changed.
“What happened?” He pressed favonovel.com for more information.
“She’s trying to jump off a building.”
James replied immediately, “I-I’ll rush over right now…”
Seeing his alarmed expression, Quincy could not help but ask, “What’s the matter? What happened?”
James turned to favonovel.com helplessly. “It’s Thea’s mother. She said that Thea is trying to jump off a building…”
“What?” Quincy urged James in distress, “Then why are you still standing there? Come on, I’ll drive you there!”
“Sorry about the trouble…”
“What do you mean trouble? Thea’s life is at stake! Let’s hurry!”
After leaving the villa, they immediately rushed to the military hospital.
***
Military Hospital, inpatient ward, eight-floor window.
Thea was sitting on the edge of the window.
Many onlookers gathered downstairs. Thea’s family was also inside the ward trying to stop her.
Quincy had already informed Thea’s family about favonovel.com condition in the morning, and they all were there to visit her.
Inside the ward, Gladys looked at Thea sitting by the window and pleaded with her, “Thea, what are you doing?! Please come back inside! We can discuss your problems after you come in, okay?”
“Thea, don’t be so upset. It’s not a big deal. You should come back inside.”
“Thea, you won’t listen to your grandpa anymore?”
Thea’s family members were trying to talk favonovel.com out of favonovel.com decision.
“D-Don’t come near me!” Thea looked at favonovel.com family inside the ward and threatened as favonovel.com cried hysterically, “Come any closer, and I’ll jump! James doesn’t want me! He doesn’t want me anymore!”
Her tears poured down favonovel.com face.
Thea’s family was worried that favonovel.com would be overwhelmed by favonovel.com emotions and jump off, so they refrained from approaching her.
Gladys instructed everyone, “Everyone! Quick, step back!”
Everyone quickly backed away.
Quincy drove over to the hospital like a bat out of hell.
Throughout the whole car ride, James did not utter a single word. He stayed away from Thea because favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com to get hurt again. As long as favonovel.com stayed with her, the Emperor would surely exploit his weakness over and over.
Soon, his battle with the political fractions was going to be intense. He wanted to give off the appearance of a man who had no weaknesses, so his opponents would not have any ammunition against him.
Never did favonovel.com expect Thea to commit suicide because of his consideration to favonovel.com safety.
