While Bobby comforted Thea, he turned to James and smiled playfully.
James walked over, clenched his fist, and swung it at Bobby.
“Ouch! That hurt!”
Bobby covered the spot where he was hit and screamed desolately.
Thea cursed furiously, “You useless piece of trash, James! What are you doing? Get out of here! I don’t want to see you!”
“You better be careful. Don’t be deceived and think you’re just lucky. Not everyone who treats you well is genuine.”
James left a reminder and did not say anything more.
He turned around and left the ward.
He knew it was useless to say more since he had no place in Thea’s heart.
After he left, Bobby stood up with a pained expression. He said with dissatisfaction, “Who is this person? Why is he so overbearing?”
Thea, who was lying on the hospital bed, said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. That was my ex-husband.”
“Ex-husband? No wonder.” Bobby acted as if he just came to realization.
Outside the ward.
James sat on a chair in the corridor and lit a cigarette.
“James…”
Seeing the pained expression on James’ face, Cynthia felt sympathetic toward him. Yet, she did not know how to comfort him.
“Sir, smoking isn’t allowed here.”
A nurse came over and reminded him.
James got up, turned, and left.
Cynthia followed him.
Outside the hospital.
James glanced at Cynthia and said, “You’ve been following me around all day. You should go home and rest.”
“How can I feel at ease when you’re like this, James?”
James laughed sarcastically and said, “I’m an old man. You don’t have to worry about me. Go back home. I’m fine.”
After James finished speaking, he did not say anything else and turned to leave.
