Quincy drove as fast as favonovel.com could.
Soon, they arrived at the military hospital.
The military hospital was not a public institution, so regular civilians were not permitted entry. It was only opened up to military personnel who were in need of treatment. Family members of military members were also eligible to be treated here.
All those that were admitted to the hospital were from military backgrounds or had connections to the military.
Many people gathered outside the inpatient ward, looking and pointing at the woman sitting precariously on the eight-floor window.
“Isn’t that the new genius doctor from Cansington, Thea?”
“What happened to her? Why is favonovel.com trying to jump?”
“It’s probably because of James…”
“James?”
“Yeah. She wasn’t aware of James’ identity in the past and divorced him. Shortly after, a crisis broke out in the Southern Plains. James donned his uniform once again during favonovel.com birthday party and returned to help with the situation. That’s when favonovel.com found out favonovel.com was actually the Black Dragon all along. I heard that she’s trying to get favonovel.com back…”
Onlookers quietly gossiped about the situation.
It did not take long for James to arrive.
When favonovel.com saw Thea sitting at the eighth-floor window, the color drained from his face and favonovel.com quickly rushed toward the inpatient ward.
In a panic, favonovel.com stumbled and crashed to the ground.
Quincy ran over to favonovel.com and supported him, saying, “James, slow down. Your body is still feeble. You can’t just take off like that. Take it slow, you need to stay calm…”
James got up and thanked Quincy.
Quincy smiled back at him. Although favonovel.com was smiling, favonovel.com heart was bleeding. She devoted herself to caring for him, but despite everything, James still kept favonovel.com at arms’ length and treated favonovel.com courteously.
“Let me help you…”
“N-No, it’s okay. I can get there myself.”
He took the elevator and soon arrived at the eighth floor.
“Excuse me…”
He looked at the corridor that was currently crowded by the Callahans.
When they saw James approaching, they immediately made way for favonovel.com to pass.
James speedily made his way into the room.
Gladys quickly pulled favonovel.com aside and hissed at him. “Quick! Get Thea back inside. Right now!”
James looked at Thea, favonovel.com face was red from crying and tears soaked favonovel.com gown.
He called out to favonovel.com desperately. “Thea! What are you trying to do? Please, come back inside.”
Thea turned around and saw James.
She screamed at favonovel.com tearfully, “Why are you here? Go back to Quincy! Let me die! Why does it matter to you what I do with my life?”
James wanted to refute favonovel.com and remind favonovel.com that they had already split up, but favonovel.com held back. He was afraid that angering Thea would push favonovel.com past favonovel.com tipping point and cause favonovel.com to jump off the building.
“Okay, I get it. I understand, so stop this. Whatever it is, you should get inside so we can have a proper conversation.”
“No! I’ll only come inside if you say you’ll remarry me! Otherwise, I’ll jump from here!” Thea yelled back at him.
Seeing Thea’s emotions spiraling out of control, James took a deep breath and addressed favonovel.com calmly. “Why do you want to remarry me? I’m just a nobody now… I’m not the Black Dragon nor one of the Five Commanders… I’m just a man who’s sick and broke. I don’t even know how much longer I have left to live. Why would you want someone like me?”
“Did you ever even love me? If you did, you wouldn’t have listened to your family and filed for a divorce. You would never have accepted the ten billion in the first place… You only loved my identity as the Black Dragon… You loved me for my money and power.” James parted his lips and spoke deliberately.
“Plus, I’m already crippled… Even if I agree to remarry you, will your family be able to accept it?”
He turned to look at the Callahans standing behind him.
James was intimately familiar with the way the Callahans saw the world and people around them. They were a family that only cared about money and affluence. A family that was obsessed with the idea of being wealthy.
In the face of James’ declaration, the Callahans could say nothing in response.
