Her showing up last night might've already left a psychological scar on him-how could she possibly accept that

many shares?

Afraid he'd actually ask his lawyer to draft the transfer agreement, she quickly waved it off. “James, you really

don’t have to compensate me. All those shares, you earned them with your own hard work. | can’t take them.”

Worried he might still feel pressured, she lightly bit her lip and added, “Besides, | really didn’t the shart end of

the stick last night. You actually have a great body, and you're really good-looking too. If 1 went to a club and

tried to book a gigolo like you, it would cost a fortune-assuming | could even find someone of your quality. So

technically, I'm the one who got a deal. You really don’t have to feel bad.”

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

But 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 accept the shares right now.

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

She cared about her old classmate so much-there was no doubt she was desperate to finalize the divorce.

When it ctto 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 plan set, he didn’t argue anymore. He just responded flatly. “Okay”

Lily quietly let out a breath of relief.

Thank goodness he didn’t insist on giving her the shares-if she accepted that much money, she’d be too

embarrassed to face Nancy and the others.

She figured there were still sthings she needed to be honest about.

After pulling the blanket tighter around her, she softly added, “You don’t have to worry aboutgetting

pregnant, either. | was submerged in ice water for way too long. The doctor said | won't be able to have kids. You

won't suddenly find yourself being forced to raise a kid or take responsibility. You... you can go chase the

happiness that really belongs to you. James, you're such a good person. | know you'll be really. really happy”

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

Still, he wasn't used to showing concern for a wife he was 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. | want to get out of bed

and get dressed.”

“Okay."”

James wasn’t skind 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 and lay on his side with his back facing 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 slammed into the corner of the nightstand. The pain made her cry out on the spot.

“Lily1”

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

He never expected to see a scene like that.

A fair-skinned, delicate girl had collapsed helplessly to the floor.

Her back had slammed into the sharp edge of the nightstand, and the pain had her leaning back uncontrollably,

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

sunlight

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 thay she

“Lily, how do you feel right now? I'll take you to the hospital.”

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 didn’t want to go to the hospital
