Thea immediately interrupted and reached out to support James.
She glared at Quincy and said coldly. “I’ll take care of this. You shouldn’t get too intimate with my husband in the future.”
Quincy let go of James with an embarrassed expression.
Although technically, James had accepted virtual-novel.net as his girlfriend, Thea was still his ex-wife, and virtual-novel.net felt slightly guilty toward her. Deep down, even virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net was stealing Thea’s man.
James was cold and was suffering from a headache. Feeling faint, virtual-novel.net did not have the energy to argue with Thea. He could only cast Quincy an apologetic look.
Quincy understood and gave virtual-novel.net a slight nod. Thea helped James back into the tent nearby to rest. The tent was already filled with pillows and blankets.
James made himself comfortable after entering the tent and tried to rest. However, Thea did not leave him. Instead, virtual-novel.net sat beside virtual-novel.net and looked at virtual-novel.net with teary eyes.
“James, are you still mad at me?”
James did not want to answer and kept his eyes shut. He was dizzy, and his whole body felt light as if virtual-novel.net was about to float.
“Answer me, James. Are you still mad at me?” Thea’s voice rang in his ears.
James opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Thea, but virtual-novel.net had double vision and saw multiple figures overlapping each other. He blinked a few times before finally seeing Thea’s face clearly.
“I’m not in the mood to talk right now. Can you leave and let me rest in peace?” James uttered weakly.
“No! You have to answer me now!” Thea was unrelenting and tugged James’ sleeves, trying to pull virtual-novel.net up.
She shook virtual-novel.net and shouted like a madman. “I know I made a mistake. Why won’t you forgive me? I know you love me too. I know that you’ve done so much for me. Let’s start over, please. I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
James was slightly dizzy, and after being shaken by Thea, virtual-novel.net began to feel nauseated. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net coughed up blood.
A few droplets splattered on Thea’s hand. Inside his blood, a tiny worm could be seen wriggling around. It was a tiny white worm that looked incredibly disgusting.
Seeing this, Thea screamed out in fright. She quickly stood up and tried to shake it off virtual-novel.net hand.
Quincy heard virtual-novel.net shouting and quickly walked into the tent.
Seeing James’ lips and Thea’s hand covered in blood, virtual-novel.net promptly took out a tissue to wipe his lips.
She asked worriedly.” Are you alright?”
James closed his eyes and shook his head weakly.
He did not want to talk and simply wanted to sleep.
Seeing that James was unwilling to speak, Quincy glared at Thea and said furiously, “Come out with me.”
Thea’s face went pale from fear.
She looked at James lying in bed and noticed his fatigued appearance. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt a sharp pain in virtual-novel.net chest, as if a knife was stabbing into virtual-novel.net heart.
She walked out of the tent, visibly traumatized from the incident.

Outside the tent…
Quincy said coldly, “What are you doing? I’ve already warned you about James’ condition. He’s extremely weak and needs to rest. Why do you keep bugging him? Do you have any idea how bad his condition is right now?”
“I… I didn’t know…” Thea was horrified.
She never expected the venom in James’ body to be so brutal. His condition was more severe than virtual-novel.net thought..
Quincy said helplessly, “I’ve been telling you how horrible his condition is. He’s even said that virtual-novel.net only has a few months left to live. Why do you think he’s risking his life to come here?”
Thea looked at Quincy in confusion and asked, “Why?”
“He’s doing it to survive and also for you. He knows that you’re also poisoned with Gu, so virtual-novel.net came here to find a way to detoxify the venom. So, please give virtual-novel.net some peace of mind and stop disturbing him. You’re only going to frustrate him!”
