Chapter 552

Whitney did not expect James to be so capable. He had already seen through her identity.

“Tell us about it.” James looked at her.

Although he suspected Whitney’s identity, he kept it a secret for a while and observed her because he

was unsure of her motives for approaching Henry or himself.

Now, it seemed that this woman did not have ill intentions toward Henry but rather seemed interested in

him. Thus, he simply poked through her identity.

“He’s my father.”

Whitney did not hide it. She smiled mischievously and replied, “To be honest, I secretly snuck out from

home. The Northern Border is too boring, so I came to Cansington.”

Henry was stunned to learn of her identity.

This woman was the daughter of one of the Five Commanders.

“Not bad.”

James smiled brightly and glanced at Henry. “Henry, you better seize your chances. The daughter of a

commander must have countless wealthy suitors wanting to marry her.”

“Cough, cough…” Henry smiled awkwardly.

“Fine. I won’t tease you anymore. I’m heading off.” James stood up and was about to leave.

“James,” Henry called out and glanced at him pleadingly.

James immediately understood and threw him a cigarette. After thinking for a moment, he felt that one

was not enough. He knew that Henry had a cigarette addiction and would have at least two packs daily.

He threw all the cigarettes he had and a lighter to Henry.

Whitney took it and said sternly, “No smoking.”

“James, do something about this girl. She won’t even let me smoke and is trying to kill me. Could you

get me a nurse instead?” Henry looked frustrated. These few days, he was about to suffocate from the

withdrawal symptoms. He was looking forward to seeing James so he could get some cigarettes.

James said with a smile, “Don’t worry too much, Whitney. It’s normal for men to smoke and drink.

Henry only smokes. He doesn’t touch anything else. You’ll be taking away his only entertainment if you

don’t let him smoke.”

“James, it’s not that I don’t want him to smoke, it’s that he’s injured right now.”

James shrugged helplessly and turned to leave the ward.

“Woman, I’ll have just one! Just one!” Henry pleaded with Whitney.

“What? What did you just call me?” Whitney’s face darkened immediately.

“Ms. Walker, Ms. Beautiful.”

Ultimately, Whitney gave him one, seeing that he looked incredibly pitiful and addicted to smoking.

At the same time, in a villa in Cansington.

Two people sat on the living room sofa.

A man in his 50s dressed in casual clothes and with a long beard was present. He was Jonathan

Harris, Gensinton’s National Doctor's Association president.

Opposite him sat an older man with a wrinkled face. His eyes were saggy, and his eyes were cloudy.

He looked like a debilitated old man on the verge of death.

He was Lucas, the founder of Universal Hospital.

“Mr. Hamilton, the Black Dragon has cured the poison. He also escaped and survived last night. You

have to find a way to prevent him from appearing at the medical conference. Otherwise, it would

destroy our plan.”

A gleam of light flashed in Lucas’ turbid eyes, and he glanced at Jonathan.

“Jonathan, James’ medical skills are the best in the world. Isn’t it your wish to compete with him? The

medical conference is a good opportunity. Jay isn’t considered the real genius doctor. Only by defeating

James will you be considered the best doctor in the world.”

“That’s true, but we have to look at the bigger picture.”

Jonathan eagerly wanted to learn from James.

However, this matter was important, and he understood his priorities.

Lucas waved his hands and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already made the appropriate arrangements.

James won’t make it to the medical conference.”

Jonathan was relieved by Lucas’ reassuring words.

After James left the hospital, he returned to the Callahans.

As soon as he entered the house, he overheard Gladys scolding Thea.

Thea had a weak personality and had always remained silent when her family members scolded her.

“Thea, it’s not that I want to scold you. However, the Callahans are in a dire situation right now. James

borrowed several million dollars. How is he going to repay the money? The money isn’t linked to us.

Divorce him before the debt collectors come looking for us. You’re still young and beautiful. You can

always marry another wealthy man, and the Callahans will be able to start over again.”

Thea was dispirited.

It was not something new for Gladys to look down on James.

“Mom, James is working hard. Can’t you give him some more time?”

“What’s the use of working? What’s the use of a few thousand dollars salary monthly? Is it enough to

support you? It’s not even enough for you to buy a new set of cosmetics.”

James opened the door and entered just in time to hear her belittling him.

He rubbed his nose and walked over with a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, Thea.”

“Hmph!

“Don’t call me mom! I don’t have a son-in-law like you!” Gladys shouted.

“James, this is just the way my mom is. Don’t take it to heart.” Thea looked apologetic.

James smiled and said nothing.novelbin

Thea was worried that Gladys would scold James again, so she quickly dragged him back into the

room.

“I’m so pissed! You’ve no conscience at all! All my efforts to raise you for more than twenty years were

for nothing!” Gladys scolded.

In the room.
