After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 624 Love Advice

The nurse came in to change James' bandages, and seeing the still red and angry wound, Chloe instinctively twitched the corner of her mouth, as if feeling his pain herself.

"Where are Vicky and Maggie today? They're not around," Chloe continued, trying to make conversation.

James shrugged. "How would I know? I'm not their keeper. If they're not here, it's not the end of the world for me."

He had no interest in prying into their whereabouts.

"Don't you ever think about your own future? Maggie seems pretty genuine about her feelings for you. Aren't you going to give her a chance?"

Chloe knew she shouldn't be meddling, but as a friend, she wanted to see him with someone who would stick by his side.

Ideally, it would be someone he liked and someone who truly cared about him.
