Chapter 822


    James gently nodded.


    He was of the same opinion.


    His conflict with the Emperor would only grow more intense.


    It would be too dangerous to keep Tiara around.


    “I–I’m not afraid.”


    Hearing this, Tiara panicked. She hurriedly said, “Please don’t chase me away, James. I’m not afraid of


    danger at all. Please let me stay by your side. I’m willing to do anything.”


    “This is for your own good, Tiara.” Wearing a surly expression, Quincy reprimanded her, ” You’ll lose


    your life if you continue to stay by his side.”


    Tiara hung her head and said in a low voice, “I’m not afraid.”


    “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now.” James gestured for them to drop the issue. “Let the patient


    rest.”


    Quincy sat down. Crossing her arms and her legs, she looked at James and said, “I’ll support you in


    anything you do. However, I won’t allow Tiara to stay by your side. It’s too dangerous. She’s lucky to


    have survived this. What about next time? She’s endured so much hardship just to collect intelligence


    for you. Don’t you feel bad?”


    James felt awful. He could not bear to see Tiara being harmed.


    “I can do this, Quincy.” Like a child, Tiara looked at Quincy pleadingly and said, “Please don’t chase me


    away.”


    Quincy said, “Tiara, I’m not chasing you away. This is for your own good. You’ll leave this ce for a


    while. Once James is done with his work, you can go back to him. How does that sound?”


    Tiara shook her head.


    Quincy looked at James and asked, “Now, what?”


    “Huh?” James nced at Quincy.


    She said coldly, “Thea or Tiara, choose one. You can’t have it both ways, you know.”


    James was at a loss for words. He did not know who to choose.


    “Sigh…” Quincy sighed.


    She knew that James could not make a choice. After all, if he could, none of this would have happened


    in the first ce.


    She did not press James for an answer.


    “I have work to get to. Tiara, I’ll visit you tonight, ok?” Upon saying that, she stood up and left.

    James apanied her out.


    Outside the hospital…


    The two were walking side by side.


    Quincy said, “Tiara’s a nice girl. She’s more suited for you than Thea. At least she looks at


    things from your perspective. Besides, you’ve had your way with her. You shouldn’t let her down.”


    Although Quincy had feelings for James as well, she knew that the likelihood of them getting together


    was virtually non–existent.


    James was simply obsessed with Thea.


    Now, anotherpetitor by the name of Tiara had appeared.


    Quincy admired Tiara’s courage. After all, she was able to endure such hardships. Quincy knew she


    could never persevere had she been in the same situation.


    “I know.” James gently nodded.


    Tiara was indeed a nice girl. However, he had yet to disassociate himself from Thea.


    “After I remove the Gu venom from her, I’ll sever my ties with her.” James came to a conclusion after


    thinking long and hard about it.


    He had already repaid his debts toward Thea. Everything had been settled the moment she ept the


    ten billion dors from him.


    That amount of money wouldpensate for the ordeals she had gone through for the past. ten years.


    It would also allow her to livefortably for the rest of her life.


    However, he could never repay the debts he owed Tiara.
