The Omnipotent Dragon General

Chapter 18

James did not want to prolong the conversation any further.He said, "Send me some money.I’m getting breakfast for Thea."Henry said, "I'll Vinmo it to you."

James left the clinic, buying some chicken noodle soup on the street for Thea.

When he returned, Thea was awake.Her face was bandaged in gauze.She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling listlessly.

"It’s over now.It’s all over now."

Thea turned to him slightly, sobbing softly.Her body trembled, a panicked expression on her face.

"I-I’ve offended Trent Xavier.I'm a dead woman now.Go, leave me.I don’t want to get you into trouble." James soothed her.

"It’s alright.I saw the news this morning.Trent’s dead, and your family is okay."
