The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 776 Quincys nonchalant response made James embarrassment even more pronounced.

U-Um, could you get out of the bathroom first? I need to get dressed.

Okay, Quincy replied while her eyes peered at the bathtub as if she was trying to check something.

After a glance, she turned and left the bathroom.

James sighed in relief.

Then, he got out of the bath and quickly got dressed.

After putting on his clothes, he walked out.

Quincy had already set the table for them.

When he sat next to her, she passed him a set of utensils.

James took them and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, James phone rang.

He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a while, he denied the call.

Who was it? Why didnt you answer it? James simply put his phone back down and picked his utensils up again.

I didnt recognize the number.

It must have been one of those telemarketers.

Shortly after turning down the call, his phone rang again.

It was the same number.

This time, James answered it.

A shrill voice screamed at him from the other end of the phone, James, where are you?! Get over here! Now! It was a familiar voice.

Its owner was none other than Theas mother, Gladys.

James furrowed his brow and asked, Whats wrong? You have the gall to ask me?! Im warning you.

If anything happens to my daughter, Ill never forgive you! Thea is trying to commit suicide because of you! What?! James expression immediately changed.

What happened? He pressed her for more information.

Shes trying to jump off a building.

James replied immediately, I-Ill rush over right now.

Seeing his alarmed expression, Quincy could not help but ask, Whats the matter? What happened? James turned to her helplessly.

Its Theas mother.

She said that Thea is trying to jump off a building.

What? Quincy urged James in distress, Then why are you still standing there? Come on, Ill drive you there! Sorry about the trouble.

What do you mean trouble? Theas life is at stake! Lets hurry.

After leaving the villa, they immediately rushed to the military hospital.

Military Hospital, inpatient ward, eight-floor window.

Thea was sitting on the edge of the window.

Many onlookers gathered downstairs.

Theas family was also inside the ward trying to stop her.

Quincy had already informed Theas family about her condition in the morning, and they all were there to visit her.

Inside the ward, Gladys looked at Thea sitting by the window and pleaded with her, Thea, what are you doing?! Please come back inside! We can discuss your problems after you come in, okay? Thea, dont be so upset.

Its not a big deal.

You should come back inside.

Thea, you wont listen to your grandpa anymore? Theas family members were trying to talk her out of her decision.

D-Dont come near me! Thea looked at her family inside the ward and threatened as she cried hysterically, Come any closer, and Ill jump! James doesnt want me! He doesnt want me anymore! Her tears poured down her face.

Theas family was worried that she would be overwhelmed by her emotions and jump off, so they refrained from approaching her.

Gladys instructed everyone, Everyone! Quick, step back.: Everyone quickly backed away.

Quincy drove over to the hospital like a bat out of hell.

Throughout the whole car ride, James did not utter a single word.

He stayed away from Thea because he did not want her to get hurt again.

As long as he stayed with her, the Emperor would surely exploit his weakness over and over.

Soon, his battle with the political fractions was going to be intense.

He wanted to give off the appearance of a man who had no weaknesses, so his opponents would not have any ammunition against him.

Never did he expect Thea to commit suicide because of his consideration to her safety.
