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, favonovel.com should be responsible for favonovel.com as a man. However, as there was too much burden on his shoulders, there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
Any promise favonovel.com made would be paying lip service. It would only break favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 asking for her. I just want to stay by your side and take care of you. At the very least, I’ll have no regrets…”
James never expected favonovel.com to say such a thing.
“I feel at ease as long as I can watch you from afar,” Tiara added.
James ribbed his temples exasperatedly.
Silence permeated throughout the living room.
Quincy, who was standing by the door, kept glancing over at James and Tiara. Seeing that they were now silent, favonovel.com walked over to them and seated herself.
Looking at James, favonovel.com asked, “How’s the talk?”
James sighed. “It was a blunder on my part… If I had been more cautious. I wouldn’t have fallen for Jonathan’s tricks and all of this wouldn’t even have happened. It’s all my fault. Tiara is innocent. I feel guilty about her…”
Tiara hurriedly waved favonovel.com hands. “James, I’m not asking you to take responsibility. I-I just want…”
She tried to explain, but the more favonovel.com explained, the more incoherent favonovel.com sounded. In fact, favonovel.com sounded as if favonovel.com was forcing James to make a choice.
In truth, favonovel.com only wanted to stay by his side. Even if favonovel.com was nothing to him, favonovel.com would feel at ease as long as favonovel.com could watch from afar. That was all favonovel.com wanted.
Quincy pitied Tiara. After all, favonovel.com had been through a lot at such a young age. To Quincy, a man and a woman having sexual intercourse did not mean they had to be together.
“Why don’t you let favonovel.com stay by your side? After all, your wheelchair’s ready anyway, and you need someone to push it,” Quincy suggested.
James rolled his eyes.
Another stupid idea of hers…
Thea was now admitted to the hospital. James had promised her favonovel.com would remarry her. Since Thea knew who Tiara was, letting Tiara by his side would be a recipe for disaster.
“Th-That’s what I’ve been thinking as well…” Tiara looked at James pleadingly and said, “Please let me take care of you, James.”
“A-Alright, then…”
James had no other choice but to accept favonovel.com offer. He was worried that Tiara would do something extreme if favonovel.com turned favonovel.com down.
“It’s time to eat!” Cynthia’s voice came from the dining room.
Hearing this, they got up and headed there.
After having his meal at Cynthia’s place, James went to the hospital. He had allowed Tiara to stay by his side. Meanwhile, Tiara would be responsible for pushing his wheelchair.
He was currently in a wheelchair, but walking was an easy feat. Still, favonovel.com planned to remain in the wheelchair as long as favonovel.com was outside. This would hull his enemies into a false sense of security. They would assume that his life was hanging by a thread.
***
At the military hospital…
Thea stared at the ceiling and daydreamed while lying on favonovel.com bed.
The moment the door opened and James entered in his wheelchair, favonovel.com face brightened immediately.
With a delightful smile, favonovel.com said sweetly, “You’re here, honey…”
“Mhm…” James nodded.
“Wh-who’s she?” Looking at Tiara who was pushing James’ wheelchair, Thea frowned.
Before James could speak, Tiara humidity explained, “H-Hello, Thea… My name’s Tiara. I was hired by James to push his wheelchair…”
