    Her showing upst night might’ve already left a psychological scar on him–how could she possibly ept that many shares?


    Afraid he’d actually ask hiswyer to draft the transfer agreement, she quickly waved it off. “James, you really don’t have topensate me. All those shares, you earned them with your own hard work. I can’t take them.”


    Worried he might still feel pressured, she lightly bit her lip and added, “Besides, I really didn’t the shart end of the stickst night. You actually have a great body, and you’re really good–looking <b>too</b>. If 1 went to a club and tried to book <b>a </b>gigolo like you, it would <b>cost </b>a fortune–assuming I could even find someone of your quality. So technically, I’m <b>the </b>one <b>who </b><b>got </b><b>a </b>deal. You really don’t have to feel <b>bad</b>.”


    For some reason, James didn’t like the thought of her going to a club to hire a gigolo.


    <b>But </b>after the initial jolt of irritation, he quickly realized she was just saying that to take the pressure off him.


    She


    was too decent to actually do something like that, especially when she already had someone she loved. He also understood that, with her personality, there was no way she’d ept the shares right <b>now</b>.


    But he had another n to make sure she took them eventually.


    She cared about her old ssmate so much–there was no doubt she <b>was </b>desperate to finalize the divorce.


    When it came time to go to City Hall for the divorce, he’d pretend he wouldn’t go through with it unless she signed the agreement.


    Since she was set on being with that man, she’d have no choice but to sign it to get what she wanted.


    With the n set, he didn’t argue anymore. He just responded tly. “Okay”


    Lily quietly let out a breath of relief.


    Thank goodness he didn’t insist on giving her the shares–if she epted that much money, she’d be too embarrassed to face Nancy and the others.


    She figured there were still <b>some </b>things she needed to be honest about.


    After pulling the nket tighter around her, she softly added, “You don’t have to worry about me getting pregnant, either. I was submerged <b>in </b>ice water for way too long. The doctor said I won’t be able to have kids. You <b>won’t </b>suddenly find yourself being forced to raise a kid or take responsibility. You… you can go <b>chase </b>the happiness that really belongs to you. James, you’re such a good person. I know you’ll be really. really happy”


    When she mentioned the ice water, James felt especially ufortable.


    Still, he wasn’t used to showing concern for a wife he <b>was </b>about to divorce, so he just replied indifferently, “Okay”


    Since everything that needed to be said had been said, Lily had no intention of sitting around awkwardly,

    But even though they’d already tangled in the most intense way possible, she still didn’t have the nerve to walk around in front of him without a stitch on “Could you close your eyes for a second? L. I want to get out of bed <b>and </b>get dressed.”


    “Okay.“”


    James wasn’t some kind of pervert. Of course he wouldn’t just sit there staring while she got dressed.


    He not only shut his eyes but even turned around andy on his side with his back <b>facing </b>her.


    Lily jumped out of bed, wanting to throw her clothes on as fast as possible.


    Only, she overestimated her physical stamina.


    Or rather, underestimated James’s strength


    Her legs were still so weak she could barely stand.


    The second she jumped off the bed in a hurry, she immediately crashed to the floor.


    Worse, her back mmed into the corner of the nightstand. The <b>pain </b>made her cry out on the spot.


    “Lily!”


    James whipped around in rm the second he heard her cry out in pain.


    He never expected <b>to </b>see <b>a </b>scene like that.


    A fair–skinned, delicate girl had copsed helplessly to the floor.


    Her back had mmed into the sharp edge of the nightstand, and the pain had her leaning back uncontrobly, trembling all over.


    She looked like a swan with a broken neck.


    Or like mountain flowers blooming wildly in the breeze, swaying across the hills under the spring wind and <b>sunlight </b>


    Innocent and seductive, utterly mesmerizing.


    James quickly turned his head, too flustered to keep looking.


    But hearing her sharp breaths, tinged with pain, made him worry that she might’ve actually hurt something seriously. He couldn’t just sit there and <b>do </b>nothing.


    He grabbed a pair of his shorts from the bed and quickly slipped them on, then got up and moved toward her, trying to help her up and check her injuries.


    <b>“</b>Lily, how do you feel right now? I’ll take you to the <b>hospital</b>.”


    As he spoke, he effortlessly scooped her into his arms.

    “No need. I’m fine.”


    Lily’s brows were still tightly furrowed.


    She suspected the fall had scraped her back–it really hurt.


    But she <b>didn’t </b>want to go to the hospital

    Falling out of bed and hurting herself would be too humiliating to exin. She couldn’t bear to be seen


    like that.


    Besides, her body was covered in all kinds of marks. She didn’t want to face nosy or judgmental looks from the doctors either.
