Chapter 821

Tiara finally regained consciousness.

She had suffered unimaginable tortures. She was whipped, and her flesh was burnt with a scorching

branding iron.

Yesterday, the doctor performed surgery on her and treated her injuries.

When James entered her ward, she was staring at the ceiling, her eyes void of all emotion.

Hearing footsteps, she immediately turned her head. Upon seeing James, she was unable to stop the

tears from flowing down her cheeks.

James walked over to her and sat on a chair beside the bed. Grabbing her hand, he consoled her,

“Everything’s fine now.”

“J–James, I didn’t tell him anything.” She croaked.

She persevered because she had a conviction. She would never betray James, even if it cost her her

life.

“I know.”

Seeing the state Tiara was in, James was distressed.

From her injuries, James could tell she had undergone unimaginable torture. Not even a battle -

hardened warrior could withstand such agony, let alone a frail maiden. However, the fact that she stood

her ground showed great tenacity on her part.

Looking at her pale face, James scolded himself in his head.

This was all because of him.

If he had been more decisive and pushed Tiara away, she would not have had to go through such an

ordeal.

However, what had happened had happened.

The only thing James could do now was to repay his debts toward her for the rest of his life.

He grabbed Tiara’s hand and took her pulse to diagnose her body condition.

She did not suffer any internal injuries. She only required a period of rest to let her body recover.

Seeing the look of anticipation on Tiara’s face, James whispered, “Everything’s fine. You just have to

rest well, and your body will recover in no time.”

“D–Did I ruin your plans?”

“Of course not. The research laboratories are no more. You helped me out big time,” James said.

It was the truth.

If it was not for Tiara’s abduction, James would not have made a move on the Emperor’s research

laboratories. The Emperor would not have blown up the laboratories to destroy the evidence.

“Thank goodness.”

Tiara was worried that her slip–up would affect James‘ plan.

James, on the other hand, was blaming himself for the incident.

Though he knew that the Emperor would surely make a move, he still instructed Tiara to head to

Herbal Biotech. If he had been more careful, this would not have happened.

James did not leave and instead accompanied Tiara in the hospital.

On the other hand, Quincy hurriedly made her way to James and Tiara after learning what had

happened.

“What the hell, James?” Quincy scolded the moment she entered the ward. “How did this happen?”

Tiara, who was lying on the bed, said in a feeble voice, “It’s not James‘ fault. I let my guard down.”

Seeing Tiara’s pale face and the bandages wrapped around her, Quincy sighed.

Looking at James, she said, “I watched the news. A mountain near Lily City exploded last night. Many

explosions occurred around the same time all over Sol. What exactly is going on?”

As Quincy was part of the team, James was honest with her about everything.

He briefly narrated the chain of events.

“This is my first face–to–face fight with the Emperor. He blew up all the research laboratories. to

destroy the evidence.”

Upon hearing this, Quincy took a deep breath.

She never thought that so much would happen in a single night.

After brief contemplation, she looked at Tiara and said, “Things are getting increasingly dangerous. I

can’t allow Tiara to stay by your side anymore. She was lucky to have survived this. Next time, she

might not be so fortunate.”
