2024-10-29 19:42:56It was Sunshine Community Hospital.
Receiving the news that his wife got injured, James Miller rushed in worriedly.
In the ward, Ava Miller, who had a bandage around her forehead, was sitting on the bed, pale-faced.
"Ava, how are you doing? Are you alright?"
Looking at James, who was panting and worried about her, Ava pushed him away in annoyance. "I'm fine."
"And, take off your apron! It's embarrassing."
"Okay." James untied the apron on him with embarrassment. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I was so anxious to hear about your injury that I couldn't hear about anything else."
Ava was tall and curvy. Besides, she had an exquisite face, oval face. Her grandfather was the chairman of Bailey's group in Sunshine.
However, unexpectedly, she had fallen in love with James and married him quite soon, though she was the campus belle at the university back then.
Yet, life after their marriage was not easy.
James often ran into snags in his job, and his career was not going well. Now he was unemployed. As for Ava, she was not assigned any critical position in the Bailey's Group since she had gone against her grandfather's wishes and married the poor guy James.
She also ruined her relationships with her parents because of James.
Ava's mom had told James that she would never admit him as her son-in-law unless she was dead.
"Ava, what would you like to eat now? I'll..."
Before he could finish his sentence, James heard rapid footsteps from behind, which made him panic and his heart beat thumped faster.
"James Miller!"
He heard an angry yell.
Then, he felt a burning pain on his face. It was caused by a hard and loud slap.
Amelia Bailey, who was filled with much anger, said with tears in her eyes, "it's all because of you! You are just a loser! My daughter was bullied and she almost got herself in big trouble!"
Was she bullied, James raised his head and curiously looked at his wife on the hospital bed.
"Ava, what happened exactly?"
"Nothing. James, why don't you stay outside for a while?" Ava said with helplessness and disappointment, her head lowered.
"James, I guess Ava has to stay in the hospital for a few more days. You can to the receptionist to settle the bills, for now, Joseph Bailey, his father-in-law, said to him with a gentle tone.
"Humph!" Just as this time, Amelia sneered viciously and said mockingly, "Can he afford it? Does he have any money? He is just a kept man living off our daughter!"
"I...I will go pay for it now." James lowered his head in shame, not giving any explanation. He went to the cashier desk in the inpatient department.
After he passed his bank card, the nurse at the cashier's desk glanced at him coldly.
"There's no money in your card," she rolled her eyes and said ironically.
"Hold on a minute please?" James smiled awkwardly. Then he turned around and quickly call his good friend Henry Smith.
He turned on the speaker as the hospital hall was noisy.
"Hey Henry, my wife is admitted to the hospital. I'm a little short on cash right recently, can you..."
"No problem! I'll transfer you some money right away," Henry said kindly. However, a malicious sharp female voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Aria smith, Henry's wife.
"Henry, if you lend James one more cent, we are finished!" I'm telling you, he is just a loser living off his wife! There's no point being friends with him!"
All of a sudden, the entire hall fell silent. People around him all cast their strange and mocking gazes at James.
At that moment, he was like a child who had made some mistakes, wishing to run away.
"Excuse me," James humbly bent down and pleaded to the nurse, "May I ask if I can pay the fees later, in about two days?"
"No." As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse immediately refused. "If you can't afford it, just take her away. Or, go ask your wife for the money."
"I've seen lots of kept men like you. Go away. Don't waste your time here! I feel disgusted to see you."
Staring at James with a mocking gaze, the nurse waved her hand to chase James away.
This loser wanted to save his face, he deserved it!
"You!" James' face instantly darkened as he secretly tightened his fist.
Just as James turned around, he saw Allen Bailey, Ava's cousin, standing behind him with a disgusting sneer on his face.

Amelia said, neither you nor your talent was worse than Allen. What happened to you now was all because you went against your grandfather's wish."

Why are you staying with that loser? Can't you give him up?" Amelia stood up angrily from the ground and grabbed Ava's shoulder, saying, "You're being sued now, but your grandfather doesn't care! You might go to jail." "Then so be it. I'm not afraid," Ava raised her head and said firmly. "That's insane! You're crazy..." Amelia shook her head with a bitter smile.

When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening.

Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status."

"Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened!

Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly.

Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened."

"What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
