"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
Luna fell silent for a split second, then replied, "Alright, Bonnie. I'm waiting for Gwen here at the station, and as soon as I'm done with her, I'll go back to Joshua's house to find you.""Okay." Bonnie pursed her lips slightly and glanced at the man sitting in the front seat. "So…please come back soon."Joshua was emanating an aura so cold and unforgiving that she did not want to be in the same room with him for even a second longer.After hanging up, Bonnie handed the phone back to Lucas and sat quietly in her seat, staring out the window.Joshua furrowed his brows, lowered his head to glance at Luke's name on his phone screen, and hesitated for a moment before finally turning off his phone.Soon, the car arrived at his house.Even from afar, Bonnie could see Theo and the family doctor standing at the front door, awaiting their arrival.Joshua was even so considerate as to find a young lady doctor for Bonnie to make her feel more comfortable.As soon as the car pulled to a
That voice…Luna's entire body stiffened.That was Luke's voice!She immediately lifted her head to glance at Gwen, who still hid behind the wrought-iron tree.At this moment, Gwen's face was as pale as the wall behind her.They had not a clue of this, but at that moment, the bus station had been evacuated of people, and Gwen was surrounded by dozens of men in black within a ten-meter radius.These tall, burly men blocked the view of the public.Only Gwen and Luna were trapped within this circle of guards.Gwen's entire heart felt like it was squeezed by an invisible hand.She put down her phone, her mouth wide open in despair.A split second later, she tucked her phone away and darted into the women's bathroom behind her out of instinct.This was the only place she could hide!After sprinting into the toilet and closing the cubicle door behind her, Gwen sat on the toilet bowl as tears slid silently down her face.She knew she would never have the chance to escape again.
Luna chewed on her lip when she saw Luke approaching Gwen's hiding spot and chased after him. "Luke! If you treat Gwen that way, she'll hate you for the rest of her life!"Unfortunately, Luke did not stop. "What difference does that make?"No matter how good I treat her, she never remembers the things I do for her."He was already at the restroom door as he spoke.Seeing that he was about to push the door open and go in, Luna immediately stormed forward and extended her arms out to block his way."Can you stick to your word? Do you promise that you won't do anything to harm Gwen as long as I go in there and convince her to come out?"Even though, deep down, Luna wanted to believe that Luke would not harm Gwen, this man was still crazy!If he really wanted to harm Gwen in public, there was nothing else Luna could do except watch.Therefore, she could not take this risk.Luke lowered his head to stare at the woman standing before him, who was more than a foot shorter than him.
What made him better than Luke?As soon as he thought of this, Joshua sighed and said, "Alright then, just remember not to go too overboard.""Don't worry." Luke curled his lips into a smirk and replied, "I won't dare hurt her with your precious Luna there."Joshua's breath caught in his throat when he heard Luna's voice.After that, he hung up the phone after instructing Luke to send Luna back after this ordeal was over."Mr. Lynch."At this moment, Dr. Laura had already finished treating Bonnie's broken finger.Seeing that Joshua had hung up his call, she quickly approached him smilingly and handed him her handwritten medical notes. "I think I should be upfront with you about Ms. Bonnie's health as of now."She stared at him intently and asked, "Are you her boyfriend?"Joshua furrowed his brows, shot her a displeased look, then lowered his head to stare at the notes he was holding. "She's my wife's friend."Dr. Laura's expression darkened slightly when she heard this.Of c
