James raised his hand to stop Thea.
“S-Sorry…”
With an apologetic look on her wretched face, Thea apologized profusely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for getting you involved.”
“Send her back to Cansington, Henry.”
James spoke with great difficulty.
“I…”
Upon hearing this, Thea cried out.
Her eyes brimming with years, she looked at James pleadingly. “How can I leave knowing that you’re in such a state? Please let me stay. I can take care of you.”
“Umm…”
Henry was caught between a rock and a hard place.
James glanced at Thea.
Thea’s hair was disheveled. Her face was full of her own scratches. In addition to her previous injuries which had yet to recover from, she looked a little frightening.
Her pitiful expression broke James’ heart.
However, James no longer owed Thea anything.
He did not wish to have anything to do with this woman anymore. Besides, before the revolution, he could not have any emotional entanglements with any women. Otherwise, they would once again be used by his enemies against him.
“Do as I say,” James uttered.
Henry looked at Thea and pleaded, “Please follow me, Thea. Please don’t make this difficult for me.”
With a tearful expression, Thea asked, “Why, James? Why? Why are you doing this to me? Is this because of Quincy?”
“I need rest!”
James cried out.
However, his cry was feeble.
A few men walked over to him.
James ordered, “Help me up.”
“James…”
