It was the first time she’d heard him speak in such a flustered, panicked tone. “Ms. Ginger, the boss is at his villa right now. I’ll send you the location. Can you come over? His condition is really bad, and I don’t know what else to do.”

Lily’s heart jumped into her throat. What happened to James? Is he hurt? Is it serious?”

“It’s not an injury…”

He had accompanied the boss to dinner with the head of a company that night. James had seen potential in that business. Even though he hadn’t given the green light, it was obvious he was willing to work with them.

But the guy didn’t just want to climb the ladder by hitching onto Luke Corp–he also wanted to marry his daughter off to James and tie the knot in every way possible.

That bastard even bribed the servers and tampered with James’s

soup.

And he went all in. He spent over a million to get his hands on some vicious, insidious drug.

Ashton had just taken James to the hospital. The doctor said an IV wouldn’t help. The drug was too toxic- if he didn’t get help from a woman, James’s body would literally explode from within.

But even at the brink of death, James refused to lay a finger on that man’s daughter. He forced himself to stay clear–headed and called the police.

James told Ashton not to worry about him.

But if it weren’t for James pulling him out of a living hell back then, Ashton wouldn’t be where he was now.

James had practically given him a second life. There was no way Ashton could just stand by and watch him

die

And Ashton knew that Henry and the others had more or less accepted that James and Ms. Ginger were divorcing.

Still, legally speaking, Ms. Ginger was James’s protected spouse. Whether it was finding a woman or a man to help James survive the drug, the decision had to go through her.

So he’d made the call to bring her in.

There was no way to explain everything over the phone. Ashton took a deep breath and simply said, “Ms. Ginger, please come. If we keep wasting time, the boss won’t make it,”

The urgency and panic in Ashton’s voice told Lily that this was serious. Life or death.

She didn’t press further. As soon as she received the address, she drove straight to the villa.

“Ms. Ginger, thank God you’re here!” Ashton looked like he’d just seen his savior as he spotted Lily outside the main building.

He wiped at his eyes. “Wesley actually drugged the boss with something that lethal. Even if he

prison. I’ll make sure someone pays him a visit behind bars. The doctors said that if the boss doesn’t help from a woman tonight, he’ll die. Ms. Ginger, you’re still his wife. This decision should be yours. The boss has… specific preferences. He can’t stand women. So tell us–should we get him a man or a woman? You’re still married. If we bring in some stranger to help him, can you accept that?”

Lily instantly understood what James was going through.

She never imagined Wesley would drag him with something that dangerous.

James had saved her life more than once. Of course she wanted him to live.

Still whether he needed a man or a woman, and what kind of person, she figured she ought to at least ask for his opinion.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “Let me go check on him first. I’ll ask what type he prefers.”

With that, she quickly rushed up to the master bedroom.

James had taken multiple cold showers.

But it didn’t help.

The water couldn’t sober him up, and it definitely couldn’t extinguish the fire raging through his body.

By the time he stepped out of the bathroom again, his vision was already blurry.
