Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Being a Good-for-Nothing for Two Days

Sophie Woods was just about to say sorry for something.

When she heard James Thompson cough, the man strode out and left.

She didn’t even get a chance to speak.

Jasper Winters, considering Elizabeth Shaw’s face, spoke rather gently to Sophie Woods, "Miss Woods, though I don’t know what you want to apologize to the BOSS for, he’s currently busy, we’re really sorry."

Sophie Woods gave a wry smile and nodded, "I just wanted to express my apologies for the misunderstanding before, I didn’t expect to disturb the boss, I’m truly sorry."

Jasper Winters smiled and hurried to catch up with the BOSS.

Sophie Woods turned around to watch James Thompson and the others sit in the car. She waited until the car drove away before dejectedly turning around to enter the hospital.

Once James Thompson got in the car, he immediately ordered to go to the Castle.

Jasper Winters reminded him with concern, "BOSS, do you want to take some cold medicine first?"

James Thompson said indifferently, "Not for now."

The car arrived at the annex of the Castle, and James Thompson got out and walked into the annex.

The annex was equipped with complete medical facilities, just like an entire small-scale hospital, including various laboratories.

Doctor Lu was standing in the hall waiting for James Thompson; seeing him walk in, the old man frowned slightly, "Take your temperature first."

James Thompson smiled and went to take his temperature.

Doctor Lu looked at the temperature reading, his face cold, "Congratulations, 38 degrees. Go have an X-ray examination first."

Seeing that James Thompson came to the annex for a checkup, Jasper Winters frowned; he felt as if he had neglected his duties.

James Thompson nodded and went to the X-ray room.

In the annex, there was also a whole medical staff team managed by Doctor Lu, and the whole team had signed a confidentiality agreement.

After James Thompson’s X-ray was done and his blood was drawn,

Doctor Lu looked at the X-ray results, his eyes angrily glaring at James Thompson, his face turning ashen, "The sudden fever isn’t just because of a simple cold. It’s your body’s immune system protesting. Didn’t I tell you to rest well and not to engage in excessive strenuous exercise? What exactly have you been doing these past few days?"

James Thompson smiled lightly, downplaying, "Sorry, I boxed for three days."

Doctor Lu nearly died of anger when he heard this, "Are you asking for death? It wasn’t easy for me to save your life."

James Thompson nodded and smiled, "Teacher, I promise there won’t be a next time."

When Doctor Lu heard James Thompson call him "teacher," he rolled his eyes, his tone got even more severe, "There better not be a next time. It wasn’t easy saving you from that explosion; have you forgotten?"

James Thompson nodded, his expression serious, "I understand."

Seeing him so obedient, Doctor Lu couldn’t go on scolding him and could only let James Thompson take the fever-reducing medicine first.

When James Thompson left the annex, his hand was already carrying a bag of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as a bag of Western medicine.

After getting in the car, he smartly swapped the Western medicine prescribed by Doctor Lu with the medication from First Hospital.

He didn’t want Julia Land to find out what kind of medicine he was taking.

**

At noon, Julia Land decided to return home to check on James Thompson.

When she arrived home, she went into the bedroom with soft steps.

James Thompson heard the sound of the door opening, opened his eyes, turned his head, and Julia Land had already walked to the bedside.

His voice hoarse, "Why have you come back?"

Julia Land picked up the ear thermometer from the bedside table and measured James Thompson’s ear temperature, "I was worried, so I came back to check on you."

James Thompson smiled, "It’s just a common cold and fever, I’ve already taken medicine to reduce the fever."

Julia Land saw the ear thermometer still showed a mild fever and frowned, "You continue to rest."

She didn’t plan to go to the office that afternoon.

Julia Land walked out of the bedroom, took out her mobile phone, and first informed Assistant Scott, "Assistant Scott, I won’t be going to the office this afternoon. If there’s anything urgent, you can call me. If it’s not too urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Assistant Scott, "Okay."

Julia Land hung up the phone, went back to the room to change into home clothes.

After changing, she went downstairs to prepare lunch.

She cooked light yet nutritious porridge and a few vegetable dishes.

After cooking, she served a bowl of porridge, cooled the hot porridge with a fan before bringing it to the bedroom,

This time when she entered the bedroom, James Thompson had not woken up.

The man lying on the bed seemed slightly pale, his brow lightly furrowed, appearing to be in discomfort.

It was the first time Julia Land saw Mr. Thompson reveal such a vulnerable side.

She gently placed the porridge on the bedside table, then sat beside the bed and touched his forehead; it still felt a bit hot.

She couldn’t bear to wake him, just sat there quietly waiting.

After waiting for an hour, she finally woke James Thompson.

James Thompson opened his eyes; he looked briefly disoriented upon waking but quickly saw Julia Land sitting beside him.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Thompson, I’ve cooked some porridge for you. Have a little first."

"Okay."

James Thompson nodded and propped himself up to sit.

Julia Land quickly supported him, letting him lean against the headboard.

She picked up the bowl of porridge and began to spoon-feed James Thompson directly.

After taking a bite, he joked, "Little Pear, how come you’ve suddenly become so virtuous?"

Julia Land looked up at the man and suddenly asked, "Do you really just have a common cold and fever?"

Mr. Thompson’s appearance didn’t seem like it was just a common cold and fever.

James Thompson’s voice was hoarse, but his tone was full of reassurance, "Little Pear, I really am fine. You don’t have to worry, I’m not lying to you."

He swore earnestly, "If I lie to you, my GG will shrink."

Julia Land, "..."

He could still make such jokes at this time; it seems he’s fine.

Julia Land continued to feed James Thompson. After he finished, she took the empty bowl downstairs for lunch.

James Thompson waited until Julia Land had left the bedroom before lowering his eyelids and sighing in his heart. Little Pear was too sensitive; he almost got caught.

After having lunch and washing the dishes, Julia Land stepped out of the kitchen and picked up her phone to call Jasper Winters.

Seeing the call from Julia Land, Jasper Winters hurriedly answered.

Julia’s gentle yet threatening voice came through the phone, "Assistant Winters, did Mr. Thompson have a health check this year?"

Jasper Winters lied through his teeth, "Yes, everything is normal so far."

Julia Land asked again, "Is there a medical report?"

Jasper Winters replied seriously, "There’s no report. The BOSS has a dedicated medical team."

Julia Land hummed with half belief and half doubt, not asking any further.

Seeing the phone call disconnected, Jasper Winters immediately informed James Thompson about Julia Land’s suspicion of his illness.

James Thompson saw Jasper Winter’s message and smiled.

In the next two days, Julia Land moved all her work to handle at home.

She kept a strict watch on James Thompson for two days until she was sure his fever had subsided, then she finally felt at ease.

James Thompson was reluctantly forced to act like an invalid for two days.

The next evening, he couldn’t help but suggest, "Little Pear, let’s go outside for a walk, stretch our limbs a bit?"

Julia thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

She moved the laptop from her lap.

They changed their clothes and walked out of the house.

Julia Land linked her arm through James Thompson’s as they strolled leisurely along the pedestrian path.

They didn’t expect to bump into Madame Bell and Celeste Lewis while out for a walk.

Celeste’s marriage home with Maxwell Bell was also nearby. They were surprised to see Julia and James Thompson walking together.

Especially Celeste; her surprise was even greater.

Had Julia Land and James Thompson reconciled???

Madame Bell greeted Julia with a smile, "Little Pear."

Although Julia saw Madame Bell, she pretended not to and continued to walk past her arm in arm with James Thompson, without even a sideways glance.

Her completely ignoring attitude made Madame Bell feel quite upset.

Celeste quickly supported Madame Bell and consoled, "Auntie, don’t be angry, take a deep breath, calm down."

Madame Bell’s eyes dimmed slightly, suddenly feeling like all her efforts during this period had been in vain.

She had been sending food every day to show care for Julia, but she saw no effect.

Now when they met on the street, Julia didn’t even nod or greet, which made Madame Bell feel uncomfortable.

With a sigh of helplessness, Madame Bell’s eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment.

Celeste, seeing this, gently said, "Auntie, don’t be too sad, take it slowly, my cousin will eventually understand your intentions."

Madame Bell smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I hope so."

Actually, she suddenly had a moment when she didn’t want to restore any mother-daughter relationship; it was quite good as it was now.

The old Mrs. Bell had returned to Sea Pearl City yesterday.

Now there was no one nagging at Madame Bell to ease the mother-daughter relationship.

Seeing Madame Bell growing more disappointed with Julia, Celeste secretly smiled.

Everything of the Bell Family would eventually belong to her husband.
