Chapter 72 Bestowed You JZL Medical Hall
After leaving the Enchanted Vine Tavern, James went to JZL Medical Hall to treat a few patients before buying groceries and heading home to cook dinner.
When he had finished cooking and turned on the TV to wait for Mary and the others to come home, he saw Joseph's car parked outside the window.
Then, James saw Mary step out.
This made his eyes grow cold.
Although Joseph did not follow her inside, James felt inexplicably upset and kept changing channels with the remote control.
Soon, Mary's tall figure appeared in the hall, as aloof and beautiful as ever, like an untouchable goddess.
Mary changed her shoes and, seeing the dim lights and James sitting on the sofa watching TV, her mood instantly darkened, and her pretty face turned cold.
Mary thought to herself, 'Can't this man be a bit more ambitious?'
Mary's tone carried a hint of reproach. "Have you found a job after all these days of searching?"
James's expression was indifferent. "Almost, I'm looking. Don't worry, I won't eat the Smith Family's food for nothing."
"What kind of attitude is that?" Seeing James's indifferent demeanor, Mary's pretty face turned displeased.
Mary said, "I'm not complaining about you eating for free. I want you to have a proper job."
Her expression was very unpleasant.
"With a job, your mother would also be relieved."
Seeing the woman's aloof demeanor, James retorted unceremoniously, "A proper job is great. You can flirt openly every day."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mary's pretty face was angry. "Be straightforward."
James replied, "There's nothing to say."
Maru explained, "Isabella took my car to pick up a client. Joseph happened to come to my company to discuss cooperation, so he gave me a ride home."
Mary's gaze was sharp as she stared at James. "I am clean with him. Don't slander me."
James spoke faintly, "I just hope this giving rides back and forth doesn't lead to feelings."
"You're talking nonsense!" Mary was angry and said, "James, can you stop being so jealous? It's pointless. If you put this energy into job hunting, you would have found one by now."
James remained calm. "Don't worry. I'll have a job soon."
"I don't want to argue with you." Mary suppressed her anger and walked up to James, speaking, "I know it's not easy to find a job in Rosewood City. Given your skill set that leaves something to be desired, coupled with a year-long hiatus from the professional world, the challenge is even greater. It's normal not to find a job immediately. I hope you maintain a positive attitude. Don't give up on yourself, and don't be paranoid all the time."
Mary added, "How about this? My company needs a security guard. The salary is $692. You're quite adept at combat, so come to TG Company tomorrow, and I'll have Isabella arrange it. Get used to the nine-to-five routine first, and then think about finding a better job."
In fact, Mary had thought about this for a long time and struggled with it before finally making this decision.
Having James come to TG Company meant she would have to endure ridicule and pressure from the Smith family.
But James's not working was not an option. Mary worried that if he stayed idle at home, he would waste away.
She thought James would be grateful, but to her surprise, James shook his head. James said, "Don't worry. I'll handle it myself. And in the future, you don't need to give me the $1538 allowance. I can support myself. By the way, the food is ready. You can eat with your parents later. I have no appetite. I'm going upstairs to shower and sleep."
After saying this, James threw down the remote control and went upstairs.
He was in a bad mood.
Mary didn't want a divorce and used Summit Villa to bind him. James thought they had a chance to develop feelings, but it turned out to be wishful thinking.
As Mary had said, their relationship was merely a transaction. She had no feelings for James.
This meant that Mary would never trust him, nor would she care about his aversion to Joseph.
James sighed inwardly, 'Even the warmest heart can't heat a stone.' Mary shouted, "Stop! You stop right there!"
Mary was seething with anger. She had James's best interests at heart, yet he was lashing out at her.
This was getting out of hand.
Mary rushed over and said, "James, you stop right there and explain everything to me tonight. Reminding you to find a job and not waste time is not wrong. I'm doing this for your own good. Why are you angry?" James turned back a few steps, looking down at Mary.
James replied, "I'm not angry. I'm just upset that you're getting close to Joseph."
Mary was livid. "Your jealousy over such trivial matters seems to have no end," she retorted. James was being so petty.
"Fine, I can stop seeing Joseph. As long as you find a proper job for me, I'll cut ties with him immediately." Mary was also angry. "Can you find one?"
James said, "You said it. I hope you keep your word."
James is no longer concealed. "I have already bought a JZL Medical Hall, and it's currently being renovated. It should be ready in two months. Then I'll have a legitimate job."
Saying this, he threw out a flyer for JZL Medical Hall and said, "JZL Medical Clinic, this will be my workplace. I can support myself."
Mary asked, "What? Are you managing a clinic?"
Mary was shocked at first, then even more furious. "James, what are you trying to do? Have you forgotten the three promises you made to me? You swore to me that you wouldn't practice medicine recklessly. And now, not only are you defying me, but you're also opening a clinic. You don't see me as your wife. Do you know that you could end up harming many people this way?" She snatched the flyer, growing more and more angry as she read. "JZL Medical Clinic. Doctors with extraordinary abilities. This is outrageous!"
James said, "I did promise you not to practice medicine recklessly."
James's expression was calm. "But I am absolutely confident in every patient I treat, so it doesn't count as reckless." "Playing with words is meaningless." Mary tore up the JZL Medical Hall flyer in anger. "Do you know what you're capable of? Do you have a medical license? I'm telling you, while the initial investment is still small and it hasn't opened to cause any medical accidents, you should shut down the clinic immediately. I don't want patients' families coming to our door, and I don't want to visit you in prison." James's disruption made her feel exhausted, and the renovation of JZL Medical Hall meant that Jacob's one hundred million dollars was used, which would lead to future entanglements.
Looking at the furious woman, James gave a bitter smile. "I'm sorry. I can't do that. This JZL Medical Hall is my hard work, and I won't shut it down."
James's assets, JZL Medical Hall and BH Pharmaceuticals were more substantial than connections like Jacob's.
After saying this, James turned and went upstairs again.
"I'm telling you. If you don't shut it down, I'll have it closed." Mary was completely enraged. "Tomorrow, I'll have the medical board shut down your JZL Medical Hall."
"Welcome," James threw out a sentence without turning around.
