“Hush!!! It’s okay, it’s okay… nothing is going to touch you,” ignoring Sharon’s words, James rushed into the screen and hugged Ruby tightly, then he started doing everything he could to calm her down.After a while, she eventually calmed down and laid her head on James’ shoulder as tears continuously cascade down her eyes.“My mother is gone,” her voice trembled as she said.But just then, as if she just recalled something very important, she sat up straight and abruptly faced James nervously.“May, where is May, she…”“She’s okay and currently receiving treatment in the bed next to yours.”“I…”Once again, tears fell from Ruby’s eyes as she recalled the condition in which May had been before she lost consciousness.“Can… can I see her?”Gazing at her gently for a few seconds, James nodded his head and carefully helped Ruby up before taking her gently to May’s bed.Watching the duo from the start, Sharon finally doesn’t know what to say again at the moment.Everything she
Seeing the concerned look of the good-hearted Fiona, James finally became slightly relieved, then he made a yes sound and invited Ruby inside for a seat.“Could I speak with you for a moment?”James abruptly asked Fiona who immediately nodded her head, then with James in the lead, the duo walked into one room.As for Emma, she continued glaring at Ruby for a moment before suddenly, she became curious about what James was going to say to Fiona which instantly prompted her to go eavesdrop.“She just experienced something very tragic tonight which was why I brought her here, Hope you don’t mind?”This was what Emma heard the moment she neared where James and Fiona were standing.*Gazing at James’ face softly for a moment, Fiona nodded her head, and finally, she couldn’t refrain from asking the question on her mind again.“Is she really your girlfriend?”Although James already knew that this question would pop out sooner or later, he still became tensed as soon as he heard
Very early the next day, James woke up and together with Ruby, they went to the hospital to check on May. For some reason, Jewel had already regained a chunk of her normal brightness that morning, which James immediately knew as Fiona’s doing. Upon getting to the hospital, Ruby became utterly excited and relieved upon learning that May had regained her consciousness. Without waiting for James, she rushed to the new private ward where May had been moved. By the time James got there, Ruby was already describing to May everything that occurred since she lost consciousness the previous night. “How did you know?” May suddenly glanced at James with an expression that James had never seen on her face before. It contained gratefulness, dullness or so did James’ thought. It also contained a tinge of fear as if the recollection of what she experienced last night was a frightening nightmare. Immediately she heard the question that hadn’t crossed her mind at all before, Ruby also glanced
“Wow! To think you are this wealthy!” Once in Dragon estate, both Ruby who had been there before and May became amazed. For Ruby, although she had been there last night and had left there this morning, last night, she had been so completely out of it that she didn’t even notice anything whatsoever until she woke up this morning, but this morning also, she had been filled to the brim with concern for May which had caused her to not notice anything. But now, the more she sees, the brighter her eyes shined and the more amazed she became, the same as May. When James saw the two beauties like this, he became filled with pride and showed them around the place. “I’ve once heard before about the heaven and earth differences between the Dragon estate and the normal world, it is truly a heaven on earth…” Ruby commented subconsciously as her eyes continued alternating between the dragon-cloud-filled sky and the glowing ground. After a moment, the group of three arrived at James’ villa, whi
Thanks to the system’s help which allowed them to know everything about the weird things they took from Ruby’s mansion, the diary, and stacks of books Ruby was able to find out that there was a way to get to where her mother was taken even though they don’t know the particular place as of yet, it was still a great progress.Once they got this far, James and May quickly called it a night before Ruby could continue checking.“Have you forgotten that we’re going to the capital city in a few days from now? Don’t you think it would be easy to know where to go from there instead of racking our brains now and giving ourselves unnecessary troubles?”“But what if mother was already killed before we got the…”“No, I agree with James on this.” May quickly interrupted Ruby’s words before she could finish.“With the things you said you heard from the people who abducted Aunty, I’m very certain nothing would happen to her for the time being. Also, we can’t just rush off there, right? We
After not going to school the previous day due to everything that occurred that day, the craziness within Dee University’s students had calmed down greatly. Perhaps, what happened the previous day could also be said to have a positive result, as it was due to the failure of not seeing James and Ruby in school that caused all the people who had planned to question them gradually rethink things and give up. But… some people definitely have no intention of giving up, even if ten years pass. “Third brother, you didn’t come to school yesterday so that you would not fulfill your promise to us, right?” As soon as it was launch break, before James could think of what to do, three young men, two of whom only seemed to be older than James by one and two years walked into James’ classroom, taking James by surprise. He doesn’t even need to raise his head to realize the owner of the voice that had just spoken. “Second brother, I wouldn’t do something like that, you know.” “No, second brother
Amongst the welcome gifts was a necklace with a few diamonds embedded in it which absolutely cost several thousands of dollars, a set of bangles cast from an authentic jade, and a small picture frame that contained James and Ruby.“Er!!!”James was stupefied the moment he saw the frame, and all the shock he had felt about the other expensive gifts disappeared.‘When and where did they get that picture of me? Also, when have I ever taken a picture with Ruby before?’It wasn’t only James that was shocked right now, but everybody in the classroom, especially Ruby and May.“Wow!!! Wasn’t that the clothes he wore on the class rep’s birthday? I didn’t know they both took a picture together?”“Oh!!?”James’ eyes abruptly widened the moment he heard this, then he started studying the picture which contained a handsome young man dressed from head to toe in black, standing beside an extraordinarily and gorgeously beautiful goddess, who was dressed in a blue evening gown and has her
“Hahaha, how could that have even been possible?”Inside a fabulous and elegant private dining room, four men and two women were seated round a table of feast, and right now, the two women were laughing happily at something they just heard.“Of course, it was real. How I wish you guys had been there to witness the third brother then. He was like a big fool, hahaha!!!”The first brother laughed excitedly, resembling the big fool he was talking about.As for James, he had been about to die from embarrassment since they entered the private dining room earlier, but what could he do other than shamelessly eat his meal and listen to his greatest embarrassment being discussed and made fun of?“Oh, James!!! To think you had those sorts of periods in your life! I always took you for an ever-serious guy! Hahaha!”It was May who had lost most of her composure that laughed this.Ruby was still trying to do everything to maintain her composure and not to put James in an awkward position, bu
