James did not answer.
"Do you really think your aunts can threaten me?" He looked at him with sharp eyes.
James looked down at his toes, "You should know better than me."
"Humph!" Lawson sneered, "If I use 21% of my shares as a bargaining chip, and tell your two aunts and uncle that I can change the will, will they still threaten me?"
James's pupils shrank for a few seconds, "Probably not."
"Go out and kneel. You are not allowed to get up without my permission!"Lawson was furious.
James hummed, walked outside and knelt at the door. Nathen followed out, stood by and watched him.
Several members of the Harvey family heard the sound and walked out. They whispered a few words of comfort, and left.
The floor in the corridor was cold. James knelt for two hours, and his legs became numb and unconscious.
"You did this because of Miss Chante, right? Is it worth doing this for a woman? "Nathen asked.
James squeezed his cold leg, "If it's not worth it, why should you be in jail for a woman?"
"I was young and aggressive." Nathen only said these words, and didn't say any more.
There were not many people at night, but there were still patients' family members, nurses on duty, and doctors walking around. Seeing James kneeling outside the door of the ward, they were all curious.
When it was about to dawn, Nathen glanced at James's pale face. He entered the ward and walked out after a while.
"Lawson said you can get up." Nathen said.
James smiled, "Thank you, Nathen."
He tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but his legs were already numb because of kneeling for too long. He staggered and almost fell. Nathen helped him, and he stood firm.
"Are you looking for a ward to rest or go back to the Bamboo Estate?" Nathen asked.
James supported the wall with one hand and rubbed his paralyzed leg with the other, "Bamboo Estate."
After his legs got better, he returned to Bamboo Estate with Nathen.
As soon as he got out of the car, James ran into Jessica, who was walking slowly with her wheelchair.
"I'm leaving now, Young Master." Nathen then greeted Jessica, and turned around and left without getting out of the car.
Jessica stopped with surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I happen to have a house here." James said.
Jessica put her hands behind the wheelchair, looked at him, and said, "Why do you have so many wounds? Is it because of Angela that you upset grandpa? "
"I fell off accidentally." James was indifferent, "I'm a little tired, and I'll go back to rest."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Jessica called to him, "Can you wait? I have something to tell you. "
James stopped and turned to face her again.
