Chapter 1537
James woke up.
As he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself staring at a white ceiling.
"Where am I?"
As his throat moved slightly, he let out a feeble voice.He wanted to get up, but when he moved, a severe pain shot through his body.
"Ah..." he cried out in pain.
Thea, who was nodding off, immediately reacted and grabbed James' hand.
"Honey, I’m here.I’m here.It’s alright.Don’t be scared."
James was calmed down by Thea's voice.He moved his head a little to look at Thea, who was sitting beside him, and asked frailly, "Thea, you...why are you here? Oh, and uh, where am I?"
James was extremely confused right now.He could not remember much.He closed his eyes and tried to sort through his memories.
It was then that he remembered...He went to Malgudi.He was captured there, and Tobias eventually absorbed his True Energy.Then, he went unconscious.He had no idea what happened after that.
"Thea, how is Malgudi, by the way?"
Thea shook her head slightly and said, "I-I don’t know.Sir Caden brought you here.You were already unconscious when you were brought here.We’re now in Cansington."
Thea lied.
She held James’ hand tightly and said, "Honey, Sir Caden said that all of your power had been absorbed.Now you're just like any other person.Can we just put everything else behind us? Can we no longer care about what happens in the ancient martial arts world? Can we stop worrying about the country's major issues?"
Thea started to cry as she was saying that.
From the corners of her eyes, tears began to fall.
"Honey, I'm worried.I'm so scared.I worry that one day I'll lose you.Let’s just let everything go and not care about any of that.Let's live our lives like normal people, okay?"
At this moment, James was at a loss.Let everything go? He could not let go now.
How could he? The Gu Sect had not yet been destroyed, Orient Commerce was still in operation, and the election was near.
If he did not deal with them right now, all of his previous efforts would be for naught.
However, when he saw the tearful eyes of the woman in front of him and noticed her tear-stained face, James' heart softened.He wanted to take care of the problems.
Nevertheless, he had lost his power.He had become a useless man.
Even if he wanted to do something, he lacked the strength to do so.
"Thea, I promise you," James said in a weak voice.
