Chapter 1666
A year ago, Maxine had convinced Thea to leave.
Maxine thought she would have a chance with James with Thea out of the picture. However, she waited for a year,
and heard no news of James.
After hearing that Thea had returned to Cansington, she anxiously rushed back.
When she reached Cansington, she learned that James was also in the city.
So, she immediately rushed to see him.
“Long time no see, James.”
Maxine walked over with a charming smile.
“Yeah. It’s already been a year.”
James felt slightly nostalgic.
Although it had only been a year, he had experienced countless things and traveled to many places, which made
him feel like a long time had passed since he last saw Maxine.
“Shouldn’t you be at Cadens’ mansion in the Capital? What’re you doing in Cansington?”
“What’s wrong? Can’t I come to see you? Despite everything that’s happened, both of us still came from similar

jokingly.
Shaking his head, James said, “It’s not like that. I’m just preoccupied with something else and don’t have the time to
entertain you. If there’s nothing important you need to tell me, you should return to the Capital.”
James turned away his guest.
He was unwilling to get too involved with other women.
His priority was to find a way to restore Thea’s memories and help her remember him.
Maxine was displeased with James’ attitude.
She had done so much for him for the longest time, and yet this was how he treated her.
Despite her dissatisfaction, she did not show it on her face.
“Since I’m already here, won’t you at least treat me to a meal?”
Maxine looked at James with a smile.
“I don’t have the time right now. Once I get some free time, I’ll treat you to a meal in the Capital.”
James repeatedly turned down her advances. Maxine no longer insisted and said, “Fine, if you say so. Bye, then.”
Maxine turned around and left.
The moment she was faced away from James, the smile on her face immediately vanished and was replaced with a
stoic expression.
James knew of Maxine’s feelings toward him but never noticed her change in character.
After Maxine had left, James fell into despair again. He lit another cigarette and took a long drag, thinking about
how to cure Thea.
Thea had damaged cranial nerves, which Crucifier was incapable of treating. He planned to take Thea to a big
hospital where they could use modern technology to examine her condition.
Henry comforted him, “Don’t worry, James. Thea will be fine.”
James replied in dismay, “I hope so.”
During the day, James stayed at Common Clinic.
At night, he missed Thea, so he headed to the Callahans’ villa.
He did not notify the Callahans and quietly sneaked into the house.
Thea was sitting on a big, soft bed in a bedroom on the Callahans’ villa’s third floor.
“Why has everything changed?”
No matter how hard she thought about it, she simply could not put the pieces together.
She only remembered going to the suburb to hang out with her friends.
In that one night, everything had suddenly changed, and the period of time did not match the one in her memories.

“Where did my eleven years go? Why can’t I remember anything at all?”
Thea was confused.
She could not figure it out.
“Argh! It’s so annoying!”
Distraught, she lay down in bed and pulled the blanket over her body.
At that moment, her window quietly creaked open.
A man jumped through the window.
“Who’s there?!”
Thea reacted instantly. She rolled out of bed and quickly turned on the light. “Haha.”
James walked over with a smile, “Thea, I didn’t expect you to have kept your reflexes after losing your cultivation
base. You’re still as sharp as you were before. I was cautious, but you still noticed me.”
Thea’s pretty face darkened after she spotted James crawling through the window. She said coldly, “It’s you again.
Why’re you pestering me? I already told you that I don’t know you. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.”
James smiled brightly and said, “Since you don’t know me, how about we get to know each other again? Nice to
meet you. My name is James Caden.”.
