Chapter 992

James shrugged. "He's just messing around-that's just what he's like, so just ignore him. He's not that bad either.

"I know," Erin replied while helping James button his shirt. "If he were that terrible, you wouldn't be hanging out with

him."

As James looked at her, Erin smiled. 'And you're not that bad either."

James brushed her hair with his fingers then. "Aren't you going home yet?"

"My leave isn't over yet," Erin said, and she picked up the bowl of soup to hand it over..

James always humored her and would finish the food she cooked whether it tasted good, while never forgetting to

praise her. "Your cooking is getting better. I don't think I can eat anyone else's cooking soon."

However, Erin was staring at him seriously. "I think I should resign. You're hurt, and you need someone to take care

of you..."

James put the bowl down to look at her then.

He naturally wanted Erin to stay at his side, but he was unsure if she just wanted to take care of him or if she had

gotten over her trauma.

Erin met his gaze and knew what he wanted to say.

She was in turn honest. "If you don't mind it... I can love you like I did before."

"Of course I won't mind," James replied and gathered her into his arms." Silly."

The ones who should be dead were, and he had long since gotten over it too.

He heard that even Ian Jefferson succumbed to his injury after Hector Vaughn chopped off his leg, which was good

news to him.

While Isaac told everyone that he went to Minerva to get his eyes treated, he was secretly investigating Hector's

whereabouts-they would find him eventually.

It was also why Isaac refused to bring Irene along to Minerva. With Hector still in hiding and bent on exacting

revenge upon Isaac, Irene would definitely be in danger if she stayed with him. Naturally, Isaac did not tell Irene

that so that she would not worry.

As Erin leaned on his chest, she asked, "Would you like to come to Minerva with me?’

As James was left quiet in bemusement, she explained, "I'm not telling you to resign. I just think it'd be the same if

you went to Minerva with me, since you'd be staying home to recover."

She certainly knew that James would never leave Isaac and therefore would not ask that. Still, she would like to

have more time with him while he was recovering.

"Sure," James replied.

Erin beamed happily and said, "I'll tell Irene."

However, James suddenly caught her wrist, and Erin wheeled on him." Regretting it already? Don't you dare!"

"No, I'm not," James grinned as he pulled herself to him, holding the back of her head as he leaned in and kissed

her lips. "I'll go wherever you go."

"Okay." Erin smiled in turn and left the room.

She found Zachary in the living room, and he actually took a bowl of soup and was sitting there as he drank.

Erin went over and asked, "Is it good?"

Zachary nodded. "It's very sweet."

Erin was speechless-there was really something wrong with him!

She had added certain herbs while she cooked it to help with James' recovery.

She had tasted it herself, and it was definitely bitter.

"You need to get your tongue checked," Erin told him.

Zachary looked up at her then. "Come, sit. Let's have a chat."

"I'm busy. I need to talk to Irene,’ she replied.

"She left with her children. She’s not at home," Zachary replied.

"I see," Erin said and went to sit on the couch, staring at Zachary as she asked, "There's something weighing on

your mind, right?"
