Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

James watched as she was engulfed in flames, curled up in agony in the blaze, moaning and waiting desperately for him to pass.

But he couldn’t move a single step, even his throat felt like it was blocked and he couldn’t say a word.

–

“Angela …… Angela!”

James jerked his eyes open, only to find that he was lying in a hospital bed with a white ceiling above his head.

He sat up in frustration and wiped his face, only to find it sticky with tears.

“There is nothing physically wrong with the patient, it’s just the lack of rest, hunger, and excessive mental stress, caused with excessive grief. In the meantime, you have to keep an eye on his mental state.” To one side, the doctor said to Denise.

Denise nodded and escorted the doctor out of the ward before walking over to the bed.

She tried to persuade her son, but opened her mouth several times and ended up with a sigh.

James lifted the covers and tried to get out of bed.

“What do you want to go and do now if you don’t lie down properly?” Denise rushed to hold him up, afraid he would fall.

James broke away from her hand, his voice hoarse and weak, “Go see Angela.”

The dream was all about what had happened before, except for the car explosion at the end. It was then that Angela got out of the car and ended up breaking her foot because she couldn’t wear high heels, and he ended up carrying her and taking her to the school hospital.

How had he not noticed before that he liked her so much?

“Don’t have to go.” Denise had sighed more times this day than in her entire life combined.

James stopped and paused for a moment, “Why?”

“It was cremated and Greyson said he didn’t want to see Angela like this and that it would be hard on his heart. He went with Angela’s sister-in-law.” Denise said.

James didn’t make a sound with his eyes downcast, just stood quietly for a moment before sitting down.

“What are you doing sitting on the floor?” Denise went to help him, “The floor is cold, you sit on the bed too.”

“Don’t mind me.” James broke away from her and stood up, going to his clothes to look for a cigarette, which he couldn’t find after half a day of searching.

Seeing this, Denise said, “Are you looking for a cigarette? I’ve thrown them all away, it’s hard to quit. Just don’t smoke anymore, it’s not good for your health.”

James didn’t say anything either, just sat back down.

The floor was a little cool and sitting made his body feel uncomfortable, but it gave his anxious heart a moment of silence. It only lasts for a few seconds.

James stood up again and made a phone call, “Where’s Jessica?”

“The tendons have been picked out as you ordered, and now she is convalescing in the hospital, and when she is better, she will be sent to prison, or I am afraid she will not be able to bear it.”

James Jun’s face was eerily cold, “Get her there now and arrange for a medical team to guard her, as long as she doesn’t die.”

Didn’t she ask for Angela to be sent straight to jail after breaking her leg at that time? News

Now he was going to give her a taste of the same.

The man there listened, hesitated for a moment and then said, “Mr. James, the Smith family and the Rodriguez family have got the message and they won’t agree to this.”

“And the people who broke the story about Harvey Group’s involvement with human experimentation, we don’t know exactly who they are yet, and they’re watching you. If you have to do this now, you’ll give them something to hold on to.”

These are indeed things that the old James would have considered, because one wrong move and he would have been doomed.

But now that Angela is gone, even if all hell does break loose, so what?

“You don’t need to think about any of this, you just need to do what I tell you to do, understand?” James clutched his phone tightly, veins popping up in his forehead.

He wasn’t on speakerphone and Denise couldn’t hear what the other man was saying, but from what he’d said so far, she could pretty much surmise what he meant.

She took a few steps up to him and frowned, “James, how many people are watching you right now, do you know that? If you do that, you’ll only ……”

“What will happen, does it matter to me?” There was bitterness and sarcasm in James’ eyes, “If something does happen to the Harvey family, you can just go back to the Brown family.”

As for him, as long as he doesn’t die, he’ll find a way to avenge Angela’s death!

“You’re being too impulsive.” Denise said, “Your destiny has always been tied to the Harvey family, and you think that with the destruction of the Harvey family, you alone can avenge Angela’s death?”

James looked down at her, a dark wave tumbling under his eyes, “So what am I going to do? Continue to lurk, or work with someone else to find whoever is behind this and find a way to avenge Angela’s death?”

“Isn’t …… supposed to be like this?” Denise had never seen him like this before and stumbled for a moment before saying.

James laughed out loud twice, but tears glistened under his eyes, the pain of losing a loved one that almost tore him in two.

“That’s certainly the sensible thing to do, but I ……” he pointed down at his heart, “can’t take it here anymore. Mum, I can’t take it anymore and I don’t have the motivation to do so.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“All I want to do right now is to take what I know, what I’ve seen, and what I’ve seen, those people who killed Angela, and cut them to pieces, skin and bones, and make them feel the same pain that Angela has suffered! Make them feel sorry for Angela’s death for the thousandth time!”

He just heard those people’s names and saw those people and hated to get them killed, how could he still have the heart to accompany them around?

Denise knew that Angela’s death had hit him hard, but never imagined that it would hit him this hard.

He rarely expresses clearly what he likes or hates, and even when he found out about his dad’s cheating when he was nine years old, he just kept quiet for an afternoon and didn’t show anything overly aggressive.

He was only a little more defensive of her as a mother than the others, and not as close as the others were to their own mothers.

That’s why she has always been fond of Angela, a sweet-talking and clingy girl, and it is only with Angela that she can experience the feeling of being a mother.

So James, with his feelings for Angela, is already so deep?

“Do as I say. Also, Jessica will not be allowed to go out, nor will anyone be allowed to visit her, except for fatal injuries that require a trip to the hospital for resuscitation. If any of the prisoners are close to her, separate the two immediately. Do you hear me clearly?”

As Denise froze, James had already instructed the person on the other end of the phone.

Only after hearing the person on the other side answer did he hang up the phone.

Denise had come around by this time and said with a complicated look, “The Smith family, the Rodriguez family, and your grandmother, along with the people behind her, will not let this handle go easily, are you sure you want to take the consequences? No regrets?”

Even if he has all the glory now, he is nothing if the Harvey family is gone.

Not many people can afford such a big drop.

“The only thing I regret in my life is that I didn’t protect my woman, and my children.” James didn’t hesitate for half a second.

Without them, nothing would mean anything to him.
