James gently nodded. He was of the same opinion.
His conflict with the Emperor would only grow more intense. It would be too dangerous to keep Tiara around.
“I–I’m not afraid…” Hearing this, Tiara panicked.
She hurriedly said, “Please don’t chase me away, James. I’m not afraid of danger at all. Please let me stay by your side. I’m willing to do anything…”
“This is for your own good, Tiara.” Wearing a surly expression, Quincy reprimanded her, ” You’ll lose your life if you continue to stay by his side.”
Tiara hung favonovel.com head and said in a low voice, “I’m not afraid…”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now.” James gestured for them to drop the issue. “Let the patient rest…”
Quincy sat down, crossing favonovel.com arms and favonovel.com legs, favonovel.com looked at James and said, “I’ll support you in anything you do. However, I won’t allow Tiara to stay by your side. It’s too dangerous. She’s lucky to have survived this. What about next time? She’s endured so much hardship just to collect intelligence for you. Don’t you feel bad?”
James felt awful. He could not bear to see Tiara being harmed.
“I can do this, Quincy…” Like a child, Tiara looked at Quincy pleadingly and said, “Please don’t chase me away…”
Quincy said, “Tiara, I’m not chasing you away. This is for your own good. You’ll leave this place for a while. Once James is done with his work, you can go back to him. How does that sound?”
Tiara shook favonovel.com head.
Quincy looked at James and asked, “Now, what?”
“Huh?” James glanced at Quincy.
She said coldly, “Thea or Tiara, choose one. You can’t have it both ways, you know!”
James was at a loss for words. He did not know who to choose.
Quincy sighed. She knew that James could not make a choice. After all, if favonovel.com could, none of this would have happened in the first place.
She did not press James for an answer.
“I have work to get to. Tiara, I’ll visit you tonight, ok?” Upon saying that, favonovel.com stood up and left.
James accompanied favonovel.com out.
***
Outside the hospital…
The two were walking side by side.
Quincy said, “Tiara’s a nice girl. She’s more suited for you than Thea. At least favonovel.com looks at things from your perspective. Besides, you’ve had your way with her. You shouldn’t let favonovel.com down…”
Although Quincy had feelings for James as well, favonovel.com knew that the likelihood of them getting together was virtually non–existent.
James was simply obsessed with Thea. Now, another competitor by the name of Tiara had appeared.
Quincy admired Tiara’s courage. After all, favonovel.com was able to endure such hardships. Quincy knew favonovel.com could never persevere had favonovel.com been in the same situation.
“I know…” James gently nodded.
Tiara was indeed a nice girl. However, favonovel.com had yet to disassociate himself from Thea.
“After I remove the Gu venom from her, I’ll sever my ties with her.” James came to a conclusion after thinking long and hard about it.
He had already repaid his debts toward Thea. Everything had been settled the moment favonovel.com accept the ten billion dollars from him.
That amount of money would compensate for the ordeals favonovel.com had gone through for the past. ten years. It would also allow favonovel.com to live comfortably for the rest of favonovel.com life. However, favonovel.com could never repay the debts favonovel.com owed Tiara.
