James smiled and said, “Not at all.”
“Did Thea call you? You didn’t return home last night. She must be worried sick. You should go and meet her.”
“It’s alright,” James consoled her. “Don’t overthink things.”
Tiara knew James was choosing to stay with virtual-novel.net because of virtual-novel.net injuries. She believed that James must be missing Thea terribly. She did not wish to make things difficult for him.
“James, listen to me…” Tiara said softly, “There’s no need to feel guilty. I’m content as long as I can remain by your side. Once your body completely rejuvenates and everything is over, I’ll leave by myself…”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net smiled.
“Actually, I plan to study abroad…”
The more Tiara said, the more unwilling James was to leave virtual-novel.net side.
“Everything’s fine. I’ll explain things to Thea. Besides, we’re already divorced. I’m only staying with virtual-novel.net because of the Gu venom inside virtual-novel.net body. I’ll sever all ties with virtual-novel.net once my True Energy is powerful enough to treat her.”
James had thought long and hard about this. Nothing good would come up between virtual-novel.net and Thea. He could not disappoint a better woman just because of her.
Tiara was delighted to hear that James would keep virtual-novel.net company, and a smile unconsciously crept up on virtual-novel.net face.

At the Callahans‘…
After hanging up the call, Thea sat on the sofa and grumbled, “What the hell is virtual-novel.net up to? He hasn’t been back all night.”
She could not figure out where James went.
After brief contemplation, virtual-novel.net called Quincy.
Quincy was on virtual-novel.net way to Messiah Corporation.
Upon receiving Thea’s call, virtual-novel.net turned on speaker mode and asked, “Is anything the matter?”
“Is James by your side?” Thea questioned.
“Yeah, right,” Quincy said. “Don’t overthink things, Thea. I haven’t been in touch with James for quite some time now. I don’t know where virtual-novel.net is.”
“Then, where could virtual-novel.net be?”
“Thea, you don’t understand James at all. You don’t know anything about what he’s doing or what his plans are. You aren’t a good match for him.”
“That’s not up to you to decide. You definitely know where virtual-novel.net is. Please tell me. His body is still weak, and virtual-novel.net hasn’t been back for a whole night.”
Quincy was lost in contemplation. She knew about James‘ plans.
She knew that James was using his identity as the Callahans‘ son–in–law as a smokescreen to better carry out his plans. However, since virtual-novel.net had had an official falling–out with the Emperor, there was no need for virtual-novel.net to remain hidden anymore.
She believed it was time for James to put an end to his relationship with Thea. Otherwise, if this dragged on, it would be unfair to Tiara.
“James is at the military hospital. A lot happened last night. As for the specifics, ask virtual-novel.net yourself.”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone.
Thea frowned hearing at this.
“Did something happen last night?” She muttered.
Then, virtual-novel.net got up and headed out.

At the military hospital…
James was conversing with Tiara when knocks sounded from the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Come in,” James said.
A man in a black shirt and a cap walked in.
His footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
“I knew you would come…”
Looking at Gloom, James stood up and pointed at the sofa beside him, “Have a seat.”
Gloom took his seat and glanced at Tiara.
James said, “She’s one of us. Cut to the chase.”
