Quincy stood outside the corridor and found herself a seat.
She wore a complicated expression as a billion thoughts raced through her mind.
Meanwhile, inside the ward…
Thea looked at James frantically while lying in bed and pleaded. “Honey, let’s remarry.”
James raised his hand and interrupted Thea.
Getting back together with her was not an option.
He had many things he needed to do and wished to avoid involving Thea again.
The Emperor wielded a considerable amount of power, and someone more powerful than him was definitely pulling his strings.
Marrying Thea again would only put her in harm’s way yet another time.
He knew this for a fact in his brain, but his heart was still undecided.
He owed Thea for saving his life. Without her, he would never have become the man he was today. He once swore to protect Thea and devote himself to her for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, many things happened along the way. Circumstances had changed.
Speaking of circumstances, another woman had already stepped into his life after the divorce.
He did not know how to choose between the two and how to appropriately deal with his emotions.
“I’ve already apologized earnestly! Why are you still unwilling to forgive me?” Thea spat out resentfully and sobbed harder.
“I-Is it because of Quincy?”
James did not answer and remained silent.
“I know it’s because you’ve chosen her. In what way is she better than me?” Thea began to adopt a more truculent tone.
James tried to calm her down. “You’re great and incredibly talented. It's just…”
“Just what? Why’d you stop?”
James sighed and hung his head. “I’ve made too many enemies. While I still have these matters to resolve, I don’t want relationships to get in the way of anything. You should rest. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”
James turned around and left.
“James!” Thea shrieked.
Paying her no heed, he continued walking out of the ward without even turning his head.
