Charlotte narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed Jim's hand. "Don't you agree, Jim?"Jim finally snapped out of his daze and shifted his gaze away from Bonnie and Christopher. "I'm happy that Christopher finally met someone he likes, but I don't think…this woman is right for him."He and Christopher had grown up together.When he first met Number-9 at the orphanage, Christopher was immersed in his research of alternative medicine.After he had grown up and brought Number-9 home from the orphanage, Christopher was still immersed in his research of alternative medicine.Six years ago, when Charlotte was tricked by Heather and was forced to leave Merchant City, Christopher was still engrossed in his research.All of a sudden, the young Christopher, who had been absorbed in his love for medicine for all these years, had finally fallen in love with a woman.Jim should have been happy for him.However, his first impression of Bonnie was their encounter a day before, when she had trick
"Charlotte."Jim could tell that Charlotte was behaving a little strangely. He furrowed his brows and lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Don't you like Harvey?"There was a hint of questioning in his gaze, accompanied by hostility and coldness.His gaze was so sharp that it felt like it would penetrate all her thoughts and reach her deepest desires.She was a little terrified of this and did not dare to meet his eyes. Instead, she turned her head away and said, "I never said I don't like him."She sniffed and continued, "I'm just scared he won't like me…"After all, I had left Merchant City not long after he was born, and now that he's already six, I'm worried he won't accept me…"With that, she wiped her tears away and added, "I'm sure that he won't like me, and I…""Of course he will." A hint of pain shot through Jim's heart as he watched Charlotte cry. He pulled her into his arms and said in a low, melodic voice, "Don't worry about all this; leave it to me."As
"Now that Jim has lost all his memories of his past, every day feels like torture to him, so I decided to bring him here for a checkup to see if anything can be done to retrieve his memories."With that, she reached out and snaked her arm around Jim's taut waist as she added, "Not only that, but there are plenty of deceitful women out there who, knowing that Jim has lost his memories, try to trick him into thinking he had been disloyal and promiscuous over the last six years."These women are certainly quite a pain in the ass," she said, glancing at Bonnie. "Don't you agree, Ms. Craig?"Bonnie stared at Jim's arm, which was draped around Charlotte's shoulder, for a while before finally turning her head away to gaze at the changing numbers above the elevator doors. "You're right. These women who try to steal other people's boyfriends when they are in their most vulnerable states are certainly quite infuriating."Her tone was as icy as the expression on her face. "Because of this, th
Roanne could not help the bitter smile on her face when she heard Charlotte scolding her over the phone. "Charlotte, are you sure you want to talk so loudly to me?"With that, she lifted her head to glance at the butler. "Can you excuse us?"The butler paused for a moment, then got up and left the room.After hearing his footsteps disappear, Roanne finally curled her body into a more comfortable position and said in a low voice, "You still haven't managed to bribe the Landry family butler yet, so how can you talk so loudly to me, knowing you dialed his number to get to me? Do you want him to find out about what we did to Jim?"Charlotte furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this, and most of her anger dissipated.She was so impatient to know the truth that she let all her rage loose as soon as she heard Roanne's voice. She even forgot that the butler had probably been there when Roanne picked up the phone.However, even after knowing it was her fault, she still tried to put al
"When that happens, what you did six years ago will eventually be exposed."However, if you make him remember Harvey's existence, then everything will change."Charlotte's furrowed brows immediately relaxed upon hearing this. She let out an exhale and asked, "Does this mean that letting him know about Harvey will prevent him from investigating what happened six years ago?""I guess you can say that." Roanne let out a sigh and explained, "The only thing Jim remembers now is that Harvey was conceived with a woman he met in Banyan City."You can pretend to help him track down this woman. Now that he trusts you, he won't doubt you at all, even if we don't manage to bring out any evidence of this woman being dead. That way, he won't be able to find out that Bonnie was Harvey's mother after all."Clutching her phone, Charlotte's expression relaxed visibly as she heaved a huge sigh of relief. "I guess you're the smart one after all, Roanne."What she was most afraid of was that Jim and
Merchant City Central Hospital.After completing all the necessary checkups, Jim sat in the doctor's room and listened to the doctor's explanation."Under normal circumstances, people will usually lose their memories after being put through immense physical and psychological trauma. Your situation, however, Mr. Landry…is a little peculiar."The doctor furrowed his brows in puzzlement as he stared at Jim's lab report. "I'll prescribe you some medications that can help with your heart's function for now."A week from today, you have to come back for another checkup to see if anything has improved."With that, he put down the papers and glanced earnestly at Jim's face. "Why don't you go out now and ask your girlfriend to come in? I want to talk to her privately about some matters to look out for when taking care of you."Jim frowned upon hearing this. "Am I not allowed to listen in?"The doctor smiled. "It's just some boring instructions and special precautions, but if you want to
Bonnie never had the chance to hold hands with Jim in public, not like he had with Charlotte.Every time she brought up the topic of announcing their relationship publicly, Jim always pulled the this-is-for-your-own-good excuse to reject her.At one point, Bonnie had started to think that Jim's personality was the reason he did not like public displays of affection, but their encounter in the elevator that morning made her realize something.He did not mind displaying public acts of affection at all; the problem was who he was with."Hey gorgeous, what are you doing here all alone?" a leering man's voice suddenly rang out next to Bonnie's ear.Bonnie frowned and immediately opened her eyes.A roguish man who seemed like a gangster stood before her, holding a piece of grass between his lips as he ogled Bonnie. "You look like you're sick. Do you need someone to take care of you?"With that, he inched closer to Bonnie, grinning from ear to ear. "I'm great at taking care of people,
This voice sounded familiar…Bonnie furrowed her brows and immediately turned around.Jim, dressed entirely in black, strode over to her, staring at her with a gaze as cold as ice. "I thought that you trying to seduce me behind Christopher's back was just an act of confusion, but now, I finally understand that this isn't the first time you've done this."He could not believe how outrageous this woman was.Even during a trip to the hospital for a checkup, she could still find a way to tease strange men and even volunteered to sleep with the man after the baby was born!Was this how she treated herself?Most importantly, was this the way she should treat Christopher?Jim's cold tone and expression made Bonnie frown even more. "What on earth are you talking about?""What I'm saying is this—" Jim strode over to Bonnie's side and stared at her with contempt and hostility. "I've already warned you on the phone this morning that you have to treat Christopher well and stop trying to se
