A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 463

The assistant looked at James, who was holding onto the door, and rushed to assist him. The bodyguards followed his lead.

He then supported James and said, "Mr. Xi, we have to go back. Above all else, your health is our priority."

James had only regained consciousness a few days ago. The second he had enough strength to get out of bed, he insisted on coming here, and nobody could persuade him otherwise.

James loosened his grip and looked at the expressionless woman. "Mia, for now, I'm going home. But once I get better, I'll come back." He started coughing violently again.

Without even glancing at him, Maria turned to his assistant and said, "Sorry to have troubled you."

With that, she walked out of the room.

She was wearing nun's clothes. She exuded a pious aura as she strode away without looking back.

On his way back from the nunnery, James almost passed out several times.

Cooper and several doctors were already waiting for him in the ward.

Upon James' arrival at the hospital, an oxygen mask was put on him, and then he was infused right away.

Once the doctors had left the room, Cooper stood at his bedside, looking at him. In a tone laden with agitation, he said, "James, I'm not opposed to you visiting her. All I ask is for you to wait until you're fully recovered. Please, do this for me."

It was only when he got here that he found out that James had gone to see Maria despite his frail body. To top it off, he didn't even tell anyone about his departure from the hospital.

James didn't respond to his brother. He appeared to be asleep, but his breathing was unregulated.

Silence ensued in the ward once again. Cooper didn't stay there for long. When he was certain that James was in a more stable condition, he left the hospital right away.

About half a month later, Cooper and Boston visited the nunnery again. During the past fifteen days, James hadn't visited Maria.

When Boston saw Maria, he accompanied her and his younger brother as usual, and he didn't say anything about James.

Two months later, when Maria thought that something bad had happened to James or he had already given up on her, he appeared again.

Coy had just celebrated his second birthday. On that day, Cooper and Boston celebrated his birthday with him, but they went back to H City on the same day.

The following morning, Coy climbed up a tree and bumped into a man who resembled him.

On this day, a black Harkim pulled over in front of the nunnery.

As soon as James got out of the car, something hit his head. He looked down and found a green date on the ground.

With a frown, he looked up.

The date tree had borne many fruits. Just when he thought that he was hit by a naturally falling date, he noticed a little figure hiding beneath the tree's canopy.

The boy was wearing a miniature monk's robe, and there were several dates stuffed into his tunic.

Perhaps the kid realized that he had hit someone, so he looked down cautiously. And to his surprise, his eyes met someone's piercing dark eyes.

Young people were fearless. Coy didn't avert his gaze and even asked, "Why are you standing under the tree?" On top of that, James didn't catch the date that had fallen by accident. 'He's so useless!' thought Coy.

James was rendered speechless. 'Is it wrong of me to stand under a tree?'

The boy slid down a little bit from the tree and asked, "Are you here to steal dates?" Coy was aware that some people had been stealing dates lately.

Seeing that James wasn't saying anything to the boy, Gary took the initiative to answer. "You misunderstand. We were just passing by. It's your date that hit Mr. Xi, so you should be the one to apologize."

Shortly, Coy slid a little lower, looking at Gary in confusion. "Are you with him? Don't try to deceive me just because I'm young! I'm smart enough to know better!"

Gary was at a loss for words. 'Whose child is this?' The boy's bald head made him look quirky.

At this time, Coy jumped away from the tree with his back toward them. He put the dates away and performed a somersault with a single hand in the air.
