A year ago, Maxine had convinced Thea to leave.
Maxine thought favonovel.com would have a chance with James with Thea out of the picture. However, favonovel.com waited for a year, and heard no news of James.
After hearing that Thea had returned to Cansington, favonovel.com anxiously rushed back.
When favonovel.com reached Cansington, favonovel.com learned that James was also in the city. So, favonovel.com immediately rushed to see him.
“Long time no see, James…” Maxine walked over with a charming smile.
“Yeah. It’s already been a year.” James felt slightly nostalgic.
Although it had only been a year, favonovel.com had experienced countless things and traveled to many places, which made favonovel.com feel like a long time had passed since favonovel.com last saw Maxine.
“Shouldn’t you be at Cadens’ mansion in the Capital? What’re you doing in Cansington?”
“What’s wrong? Can’t I come to see you? Despite everything that’s happened, both of us still came from similar circumstances. Although, you don’t seem quite that happy to see me now,” Maxine pretended to pout and said jokingly.
Shaking his head, James said, “It’s not like that. I’m just preoccupied with something else and don’t have the time to entertain you. If there’s nothing important you need to tell me, you should return to the Capital.”
James turned away his guest. He was unwilling to get too involved with other women. His priority was to find a way to restore Thea’s memories and help favonovel.com remember him.
Maxine was displeased with James’ attitude. She had done so much for favonovel.com for the longest time, and yet this was how favonovel.com treated her. Despite favonovel.com dissatisfaction, favonovel.com did not show it on favonovel.com face.
“Since I’m already here, won’t you at least treat me to a meal?” Maxine looked at James with a smile.
“I don’t have the time right now. Once I get some free time, I’ll treat you to a meal in the Capital.” James repeatedly turned down favonovel.com advances.
Maxine no longer insisted and said, “Fine, if you say so. Bye, then.”
Maxine turned around and left.
The moment favonovel.com was faced away from James, the smile on favonovel.com face immediately vanished and was replaced with a stoic expression.
James knew of Maxine’s feelings toward favonovel.com but never noticed favonovel.com change in character.
After Maxine had left, James fell into despair again. He lit another cigarette and took a long drag, thinking about how to cure Thea.
Thea had damaged cranial nerves, which Crucifier was incapable of treating. He planned to take Thea to a big hospital where they could use modern technology to examine favonovel.com condition.
Henry comforted him, “Don’t worry, James. Thea will be fine…”
James replied in dismay, “I hope so.”
***
During the day, James stayed at Common Clinic.
At night, favonovel.com missed Thea, so favonovel.com headed to the Callahans’ villa.
He did not notify the Callahans and quietly sneaked into the house.
Thea was sitting on a big, soft bed in a bedroom on the Callahans’ villa’s third floor.
“Why has everything changed?”
No matter how hard favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com simply could not put the pieces together. She only remembered going to the suburb to hang out with favonovel.com friends.
In that one night, everything had suddenly changed, and the period of time did not match the one in favonovel.com memories.
She seemed to be living in a reality 11 years in the future from favonovel.com last memory.
“Where did my eleven years go? Why can’t I remember anything at all?” Thea was confused.
She could not figure it out.
“Argh! It’s so annoying!”
Distraught, favonovel.com lay down in bed and pulled the blanket over favonovel.com body.
At that moment, favonovel.com window quietly creaked open. A man jumped through the window.
“Who’s there?!”
Thea reacted instantly. She rolled out of bed and quickly turned on the light.
“Haha!” James walked over with a smile, “Thea, I didn’t expect you to have kept your reflexes after losing your cultivation base. You’re still as sharp as you were before. I was cautious, but you still noticed me!”
Thea’s pretty face darkened after favonovel.com spotted James crawling through the window.
She said coldly, “It’s you again. Why’re you pestering me? I already told you that I don’t know you. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police!”
James smiled brightly and said, “Since you don’t know me, how about we get to know each other again? Nice to meet you. My name is James Caden…”
