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
"The first time you and I slept together was at 10 p.m. at Tea Cottage ten months ago, on the nth of one particular month. I have two witnesses of this incident; one of them being your sister Luna and the other being one of your drivers who goes by Mr. Williams."The second time you and I slept together was nine-and-a-half months ago at Starhill Hotel at midnight. At that time, something drastic had happened to your family, and you were confused as to whether you should return to Landry Group to help your family or not. Witnesses of this incident were the housekeepers and the lobby receptionist at Starhill Hotel…"The third time…"The fourth time…"Bonnie recited these events as she scribbled them on the paper.She was writing so fast, and she was so absorbed in her writing that she did not even notice the tears falling from her cheeks and landing on the paper.She remembered every single detail of their time together.All their memories of the past year were inked in her mind.
"Well, we'll be off now, Jim."A pained expression flashed across Christopher's face when he saw the look on Jim's face.He did not intend to stay any longer, so he turned and left hurriedly with Bonnie.Jim remained motionless as he stared at Christopher and Bonnie's retreating figures.For some reason, he could not help but think something strange was going on between these two.Bonnie seemed desperate to maintain a distance between them, whereas Christopher kept trying to make Bonnie lean against him.Jim stared at them until, eventually, they disappeared from sight."Jim!" Suddenly, Charlotte, who had finished her appointment with the doctor, sprinted into the garden. "What are you doing here? I've been looking for you all over the place! Why didn't you pick up your phone?"Jim finally snapped out of his stupor and glanced at his phone.There were three missed calls, all from Charlotte.She had called him at the exact moment Christopher and Bonnie left, but for some reaso
"Christopher, it's precisely because you're such a good doctor that I don't want you to continue wasting time on me."You've said yourself that my case is just a simple one, and I can get by with just a nurse taking care of me, so I don't need someone like you to look after me."Christopher furrowed his brows. "But I want to!""I don't." Bonnie opened her eyes to stare intently at Christopher, but her gaze seemed to penetrate past him to somewhere far, far away. "Christopher, I know you're a good person, but I'm not."The only person on my mind is Jim, and even though he doesn't remember me anymore and doesn't love me anymore, I still can't let go of him."Jim was right. Someone like me is no match for you, so I think it's best that I stay away from you."Bonnie clutched her abdomen and forced herself to stand up. "My phone has been broken for almost twenty-four hours now. I'm worried that Harvey can't get in touch with me, and I'm worried about Shelly…"If you don't want to com
This low, familiar voice made both Christopher and Bonnie raise their heads.The person who had stopped Christopher from shutting the door was Lucas.As for the man who had spoken, it was none other than Joshua, who stood afar, watching them.He was holding a cigarette between his teeth as he leaned against the lamp post elegantly. He stared impassively at Christopher and said, "That's not the way to win over a woman's heart."With that, he glanced at a pale-faced Bonnie and asked, "Do you want to go with him or come with me?"Bonnie bit her lip. She first glanced at Christopher, then at Lucas, who was blocking the door.A split second later, she pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked slowly in Joshua's direction, clutching her belly with her injured hand.Christopher furrowed his brows and immediately reached out to grab her arm.However, as soon as he grabbed hold of her, Lucas frowned and flung his arm away. "Dr. Christopher, since Ms. Craig has already made he
Bonnie paused, then suddenly recalled that she had intended to buy a new phone.She furrowed her brows and asked, "Mr. Lynch, is Luna home right now?"She was not very close with Joshua, and the only thing they had in common was Luna, so she did not feel comfortable asking Joshua to go with her on her shopping trip.However, according to her current state, she could not possibly go alone, so she thought of Luna."She's not home." Joshua glanced at her impassively, then dialed Luna's number and handed Bonnie his phone. "You can call her and ask her to come home."Bonnie frowned and was about to take the phone from him when the call was cut off even before it could get through to Luna.The same thing happened the second time she dialed; Luna kept declining her calls.Bonnie suddenly understood why Joshua was so kind to her all of a sudden.Not only had he saved her from Christopher, but he even offered to bring her home to see his family doctor.It turned out that…he and Luna ha
