(So we take the idea of the friend deliberately lied because he was a secret admirer of Horu and wanted the couple to get into a fight? And noe this time he told the truth because he had seen how sad Horu was and realised he had no chance in changing Horu's mind, no chance to separate the husband and wife?)

James knitted his brows togrther tightly hearing the panic in Horu's voice. He didnt like seeing his wife so afraid, his heart told him he should.console him, calm him, make his wife feel better, but his brain was telling him he shouldnt do that, he shouldnt get close to Horu again, or he would hurt even worse. He kept silent and focused on removing the pants fully, and he spread his legs. He looked between his legs and tried not to remind himself of his friend, but even himself didnt notice how gentle he had been ahen touching Horu. James could never hurt his wife, it was simply impossible.

"Shh.... dont panic. I am here and it will be alright." He hushed Horu, just like what he would do before, and he regretted it immediately when he heard how gentle he had been. He remindrd himself Horu had been the one unfaithful, his wife had been a liar, and almost immediately his face went blank, he hid all his expression under a mask and showed Horu no.more of his emotions. He didnt hear what Horu said, and he didnt ask as well. "I am checking you. Relax." He said as coldly as he can, trying to see how dilated Horu could be to confirm if this was indeed labor.
