Chapter 453 James Has Got A Hunch On Zacharias
In the past few days, Jonathan had been sending Angela to Northland Medical University every time, fearing someone might target her. But now that Kaydron had been arrested yesterday, he didn’t refuse to take her anymore. Instead, she felt oddly pleased.
After hastily finishing their morning routine and breakfast, as they were preparing to head out, Angela noticed a missed call from James on her phone.
She hadn’t anticipated James ringing her up so early.
“James‘ calling,” she announced and waved her phone in front of Jonathan.
“You don’t have to pick up if you don’t want to,” he remarked.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she replied, “Alright.”
She then muted her phone and decided to put James on hold for the time being.
She didn’t want to pick up his call because it was too early, and she didn’t want it to interfere with her time with Jonathan.
James wasn’t worth it, so she made her decision straightforwardly.
Angela had been contemplating a conversation with James, but she planned to wait until she wasn’t busy and had sorted out her emotions.
One of the bodyguards was driving, while she and Jonathan sat in the back, holding hands.
Jonathan, realizing that Angela’s training was coming to an end, asked, “Is it time for the final assessment?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
She had mentioned the date of the final assessment to him before, so his question didn’t surprise her.
“Still heading to the outskirts of Northland?”
“Yes, we leave tomorrow, and the assessment will last two days.”
“I’ll
accompany you this time.”
Angela looked at him in surprise, but remembering that he had mentioned leaving the Northland branch to Spencer, she flashed a smile and agreed.

She didn’t want to be separated from him either.
Jonathan’s illness, though it hadn’t flared up for a while, still left her feeling uneasy about leaving him.
Soon, the car came to a stop outside Northland Medical University.
Angela got out of the car and said goodbye to Jonathan before realizing that James‘ calls kept coming in now and then.
In the short ride, he had already called three times.
She watched Jonathan’s car drive away before answering James‘ call with a calm tone, “Who is this?”
Although Jonathan had told her that he had already denied James‘ attempt to use their sibling relationship to gain sympathy last night, Angela still felt unsettled.
She wanted James to understand that once she left the Kins Family, they had no relationship
anymore.
If she had the energy to deal with them, she would have settled the score from their past lives as well.
But for now, things were fine. The once respectable Kins Family had fallen apart, and she didn’t mind watching it crumble further.
Besides, watching the Kins family suffer was a bit of stress relief.
No matter what she was pondering, she fell silent after posing the question, “Who’s calling?”
On the opposite end of the line, when James heard a voice that didn’t belong to Jonathan, he let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s me, Angela,” he murmured, trying to convey a tenderness he had never shown her before.
But she couldn’t stand it. It made her sick to her stomach.
“Huh? You must have dialed the wrong number, I don’t have a brother,” she said, cutting off James before he could respond, and hung up the phone without giving him a chance to react.
After hanging up, she continued on her way to the training classroom in high spirits.
James froze upon hearing the busy dial tone on the other end of the line.
His entire body tensed up, including his expression.

He never imagined she would hang up on him like that, and her parting words sounded exactly like what Jonathan said last night!
She’s too audacious!
James gripped his phone tightly, and his expression darkened as his mood soured.
Scarlet approached cautiously and gently asked, “What’s up? Did Angela say something?”
Knowing him well, Scarlet sensed Angela must have said something hurtful to upset him.
James shook his head and muttered, “I’ll try calling her again.”
He understood he couldn’t approach Angela with his usual big brother attitude if he wanted to have a civil conversation.
Yesterday, Jonathan mentioned Angela didn’t have a brother. Although James didn’t argue then, Angela’s recent remark made him itch to scold her. But before he could speak, she abruptly ended the call.
James couldn’t help but wonder if she had picked up some of Jonathan’s traits from living with him for so long.
Pondering the situation, James felt it growing even more complex.
He dialed Angela’s number once more, but she didn’t pick up. Thus, fueling his impatience.
He didn’t know it, but at this moment, Angela had already muted her phone and stowed it
away
in her bag to fully immerse herself in the training session.
Their training was nearing its end, with the final exam slated for the day after tomorrow. Angela wasn’t about to slack off as she had before.
When James heard the call disconnect yet again, a surge of frustration overwhelmed him.
He battled to contain his anger and opted to join Scarlet on a visit to the hospital to check on Zacharias.
Scarlet noticed his troubled expression and couldn’t help but comment on how Angela was not only disrespectful but also lacked sibling respect.
Although James remained outwardly composed and didn’t agree with him, deep down, he harbored similar thoughts.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they were met with Zacharias‘ pallid, frail figure.

Chapter 458 James Has Got A Hunch On Zacharias
Originally, James wanted to ask Zacharias how to get Angela to help Joseph, but Zacharias didn’t want to talk more about Angela and directly changed the topic to Fanny.
He inquired, “Mom, will Fanny come to see me today?”
Scarlet had been cursing Angela in her mind and didn’t expect him to suddenly ask about Fanny. Thus, upon hearing this, she was momentarily stunned.
James was quick to respond, “Fanny is over at her friend’s place and might crash there for a couple of days.”
On the flip side, Zacharias furrowed his brow. “She’s not exactly in top shape, so how can you be okay with her staying out?”
He’d been working on setting up the kidney donation surgery for him and Fanny, but now he was stuck in the hospital. If he wanted to keep it under wraps from Scarlet, he needed Fanny’s cooperation.
