The people in the room were all extremely shocked.
Kyler’s father didn’t expect that the duck he had just caught flew away before it could be cooked.
Jewel, on the other hand, couldn't understand why Thorne, who clearly didn’t like Thea, would leave her and go
to Thea.
William was shocked. He had been so disgusted with Thorne, yet he could still be generous enough to let
bygones be bygones? He smiled kindly and felt grateful for Thorne’s assistance without holding any grudges.
William pushed aside the crowd and ran up to Thorne, saying eagerly, “Con, Thorne, I'll push you back.”
Thorne had a calm face, with endless worries in his eyes. “Hmm.”
He couldn’t wait to get back to Thea and cheer her up.
William pushed Thorne through the corridor. At that moment, William teasingly said to Thorne, “Con, admit
it. You
loved Jade.”
Thorne, however, stubbornly retorted, “Which eye of yours saw it?”
William said, “I saw it with both of my eyes.”
Then he started to play tricks again, “I knew it, my daughter is beautiful and kind-hearted, there is no man who
doesn’t like

her. Your strategy of pretending to retreat is indeed clever. Unfortunately, | saw through it with my sharp eyes.”
“I must warn you, | allowed you to stay in my house, solely because of my daughter's infatuation with you. | also
allowed you to date her, but...”
He emphasized, “Strictly limited to Platonic love. You cannot kiss, let alone sleep together.”
A flower bloomed in Thorne's eyes.
Being able to be with Thea, | have no regrets in this lifetime.
As for kissing and having sex, he would not touch her. After all, Thea still had to find someone else, get married,
have children, and live a happy and fulfilling life.
After William brought Thorne back, Thorne immediately went to Thea’s bedroom.
William, not wanting to see anything, sat alone in the living room on the ground floor, drinking heavily and
feeling gloomy.

Upstairs.
Thorne wheeled his wheelchair up to Thea’s bed and only then did he notice Thea’s unusually pale complexion,
with lips devoid of any trace of color. Thorne’s heart clenched tightly.
He couldn’t help himself and reached out his hand, gently placing it on Thea’s forehead. Confirming that Thea
didn’t have a fever, he felt slightly relieved.
“I cback,” he said hoarsely.

Thea slowly opened her eyes, with traces of tears still visible in her eyes, along with red bloodshot and swollen
eyes. She weakly reached out her hand, and Thorne quickly handed his hand to her.
“I thought you didn’t want Thea anymore.”
“I... just went next door as a guest. Sorry, | stayed a little longer than expected, | won't do it next time,” he said.
Thea burst into tears of laughter and said, “So that’s how it is. | thought it was my dad who said something
unpleasant to you and forced you to leave.”
Thorne smiled and said, “Don’t worry. | didn’t argue with him. No matter how hurtful his words were, his intention
was always for your own good.”
“I will explain our relationship to my father one day,” Thea said. “Then he will know how important you are to
me. He won't trouble you anymore.”
Thorne said, “I will find tto talk to him myself. You don’t have to worry about it. It's easier for us men to
communicate with each other.””
Thea thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright.”
After Thea finished speaking, she silently gazed at Thorne.
Thorne’s lips moved slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say to her, but in the end, he swallowed them all
back.
“Did you have something to tell me?” Thea asked.
Thorne looked at her desolate expression, wanting to say the words of departure, but choked in his throat

Finally, almost involuntarily, he asked with concern, “Are you tired from work? Will you be too busy to eat?”
Thea looked into his apologetic eyes, and she knew that Thorne had pushed her to the top of the pyramid out of
necessity.
If he were physically fit, he would probably prefer to be the one standing in a higher position protecting her.
Thea said, “I was tired.”
“It was too cold at the top, you know. In order to reach this position, | did many bad things.”
Thorne was taken aback.
Thea started talking to herself again, “I ruined the high and mighty prince, leaving him bankrupt and separated
from his family. | also kicked my uncle’s family out of the Fletcher Group, and now they look at us with envy and
hatred. Oh, and your father, I've been snatching projects from him for the past few years, forcing him to struggle
just to make ends meet. They all hate me, secretly callinga female demon.”
Thorne, however, laughed. He supported her and comforted her, “It’s not your fault, they were driven by greed
and deserved the punishment.”
Thea looked at him and said, “Are you satisfied now?”
Thorne coughed and said uneasily, “What...?"
Thea didn’t allow him to evade, she grabbed his face and forced him to face her, “Isn't it your intention to bring

Thorne laughed nervously.
“Why?” Thea asked.

Thorne pretended to be clueless, “What? Why?”
He couldn't tell her that he was dying and couldn’t protect her anymore, so he could only teach her the cruel
ways of survival.
Thea pouted angrily and said, “These things, you clearly had them under control, so why did you have to pass
them on to me?”
Thorne made excuses, saying, “Look at me, | am disabled. My appearance is not good, making it difficult to win
people over.””
Thea widened her almond-shaped eyes and refused to let him give up on himself, “Don’t forget, | am also
disabled. | lost a kidney...”
Thorne took a deep breath of cold air, freezing his entire body.
“If you don’t like being the CEO, why don’t you quit?” he said.
Thea, with red eyes, said, “Thorne, don’t avoid my topic.”

Thorne looked at her angrily... and completely lost his composure.
He couldn’t speak.
Fortunately, at this moment, Thea’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the deadlock between the two.

Thorne helped her pick up the phone from the bedside table and handed it to Thea.
Thea answered the phone and heard William's voice, with a
guilty tone, saying, “Jade, you and Thorne cdown for a late-night snack.”
Thea hoarsely said, “Okay.”
Thorne found it both amusing and ridiculous.
How scared was William that he would take matters into his own hands and punish Thea on the spot?
Why treat him like a pervert, is it necessary?
He was the last person in the world who wanted Thea to get hurt.
He would also not allow himself to hurt Thea.
Thea wearily sat up, and Thorne silently helped her up. Once Thea got out of bed, he pushed the wheelchair
forward.
But soon he found that the wheelchair beclighter.
Originally, Thea skillfully and effortlessly pushed him along.
Thorne smiled knowingly.
Downstairs.
William saw Thea and Thorne coming down together, fidgeting and rubbing his hands nervously, while carefully
observing Thea’s expression.
Thorne breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that he
