Chapter 706


    James raised his hand to stop Thea.


    “S–Sorry…”


    With an apologetic look on her wretched face, Thea apologized profusely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for


    getting you involved.”


    “Send her back to Cansington, Henry.”


    James spoke with great difficulty.


    “I…”


    Upon hearing this, Thea cried out.


    Her eyes brimming with years, she looked at James pleadingly. “How can I leave knowing that you’re in


    such a state? Please let me stay. I can take care of you.”


    “Umm…”


    Henry was caught between a rock and a hard ce.


    James nced at Thea.


    Thea’s hair was disheveled. Her face was full of her own scratches. In addition to her previous injuries


    which had yet to recover from, she looked a little.


    frightening.


    Her pitiful expression broke James‘ heart.


    However, James no longer owed Thea anything.


    He did not wish to have anything to do with this woman anymore. Besides, before the revolution, he


    could not have any emotional entanglements with any women. Otherwise, they would once again be


    used by his enemies against him.


    “Do as I say,” James uttered.


    Henry looked at Thea and pleaded, “Please follow me, Thea. Please don’t make this difficult for me.”


    With a tearful expression, Thea asked, “Why, James? Why? Why are you doing


    this to me? Is this because of Quincy?”


    “I need rest!”


    James cried out.


    However, his cry was feeble.


    A few men walked over to him.


    James ordered, “Help me up.”


    “James…”


    Thea cried out.


    However, James had left.


    “Sob…”


    Thea burst into tears.


    Henry said in resignation, “Let’s go, Thea.”


    Thea knew. From the moment she received the 10 billion dors from James… From the moment she


    divorced him, she hadpletely lost him. She thought that James still had feelings for her. However,


    she did not expect James to be this


    heartless.


    She ran out, sobbing.


    Henry followed close behind.


    He then personally arranged for a private ne to send Thea back to Cansington.


    Near the private ne.


    Henry could not help but ask, “What happened, Thea? What’s wrong with James? Something’s not


    quite right with him. He seems to be severely weakened.”


    “Sob…”


    Thea burst into tears once more.


    “Stop crying! Please tell me.”


    “Th–They abducted me and used me to ckmail James…”


    Tearfully, she narrated the chain of events.


    “What?!”


    Henry eximed, “Are you saying that the muscles all over James‘ body will shrivel to the point where


    he can no longer stand?”


    Thea sobbed. “Y–Yes… That was what the one who poisoned him said. I–I don’t know anything else.”


    Henry’s expression hardened.


    After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, “Alright now, I understand. I will find the one who


    poisoned James. There’s nowhere for him to hide.”


    Thea slowly got on the private ne.

    Henry watched her get on the private ne and left.


    He wore a grim expression.


    “Seal off the city. Do not let a single fly pass through. Mobilize the army and search the border. Do not


    let him escape!”
