Jim was momentarily stunned by this sudden turn of events.Even Sean was rendered speechless by the sight before him, his mouth gaping open in disbelief.Finally, Jim was the first one to break out of his stupor. He pulled Bonnie into his arms and shot Sean a murderous glare. "What are you waiting for? Get the car and bring her to the hospital!"Sean paused for a moment, then turned and sprinted out of the yard.Jim furrowed his brows, picked Bonnie up in his arms, and strode out of the yard as he said in a low voice, "Didn't you just go through an abortion? What were you doing? What gives you the right to interfere in two men's fight? Can't bear to see your precious boyfriend get hurt?"Bonnie was in so much pain at this point that she closed her eyes but did not reply.When she heard Jim's voice, she let out a bitter chuckle and said with a helpless tone, "Yes, I can't bear to see my new boyfriend get hurt, just like how you can't bear to see your precious Charlotte get hurt, e
Bonnie lifted her head to stare at Jim's sharp, chiseled jawline, her eyelashes quivering. "What… What did you just say?""You'll be fine, B," Jim repeated without hesitation.As soon as he said this, he froze.Why…did he call her that?He had called her by her full name from the moment he met her, and not only had he never referred to her as 'B' before, he had never heard anyone, not even her closest friends, call her that.If that was the case, why had he been compelled to call her that?As opposed to Jim's shock, Bonnie's face was etched with disbelief and excitement.When he had said that, all the words that came out of Jim's mouth, and even his tone, sounded identical to the old Jim!Did this mean that…the old Jim would return soon?As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie stared at Jim's chiseled face, her eyes brimming with tears."Jim…" her voice was shaking as she muttered, "I believe you."She believed him when he said she would be fine.She believed that one day, t
Jim lowered his head, and the only thing he saw was Bonnie's beautiful face, tilted to one side so he would not see her tears.She was extremely thin, so much so that her jawline looked as though it had been carved with a pencil, so sharp that she did not need any highlighter or bronzer to accentuate it.Her tear streaks glimmered in the bright light.Jim let out a sigh, but no matter how reluctant he was to do so, he still reached his hand out.When his warm palm laid on her abdomen, Bonnie's entire body stiffened as though she had been struck by lightning.Her entire body was frozen in shock, but Jim's warm hand gently caressed her abdomen as he muttered, "It'll be fine, B. You'll be fine…"Even though his tone was unnaturally stiff, without a single hint of tenderness within them, Bonnie still felt her heart soften at the sound.She closed her eyes and tried to stop her tears from falling.The car arrived at the hospital with the two of them in this somewhat awkward position
Theo furrowed his brows and quickly declined the call when he heard Jim asking about Roanne. "I…haven't been in touch with her at all. You must be mistaken."With that, he let out an exhale and circled past Jim. "Well, I need to get back soon, so I'll be off now."How could Jim let Theo go just like that?Roanne had kidnapped Shelly and demanded Charlotte meet her the next day.At this very minute, he bumped into Theo, who was carrying a bottle of children's medicine and who had received a call from Roanne. There was no way Jim would not grow suspicious of him, and he could not let him leave so easily."Theo." Jim narrowed his eyes and said sternly, his gaze fixed on Theo's face, "Are you in on this with Roanne? Is the medicine for Shelly? Has Shelly fallen sick?"Theo did not know how to answer these questions, but the longer he stayed silent, the more confident Jim grew in his suspicion that Theo was working together with Roanne.He lunged forward and grabbed hold of Theo's co
Had Jim proposed to Bonnie before losing his memories?The child that Bonnie aborted…belonged to him?"Hey, you'd better clarify yourself!" Seeing that Theo was about to get in his car, Jim finally could not stop himself anymore and stormed after Theo. He grabbed hold of the man's collar and pressed him against the car. "When did I propose to Bonnie? Do you have proof of that?"As long as Theo could provide evidence to back up his claims, he would believe him, whether it was just a short clip or even a brief sentence describing the occasion.However, Theo furrowed his brows and replied, "Where the fuck would I even get proof of this?"He had heard about Jim's proposal to Bonnie from Luna, so how did Jim have the audacity to demand evidence from him?How could he possibly have evidence?A glimmer of disappointment flashed through Jim's eyes when he heard this.He narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Theo. "Well, you shouldn't make such ludicrous claims if you don't have eviden
Bonnie asked in a low voice, frowning, as soon as Jim left, "What's going on with Roanne now?"Jim and Charlotte both thought that Roanne had kidnapped Shelly, but Bonnie knew that Shelly was, in fact, safe and sound at Joshua's house, playing with the rest of the children.This was why she had appeared so calm when Jim brought up Roanne and could even ask Theo about her.Theo let out an awkward cough. "I'm not too sure either. She told me to send her some food and children's things, so I did."However, she didn't let me enter the room and told me to leave as soon as I dropped the stuff she wanted off."He let out a sigh and lifted his head to shoot Bonnie a puzzled glance. "Isn't Shelly at Joshua's house now? If so, why did Roanne still ask me to bring her children's supplies? Who does she have with her now?"Bonnie shrugged. "I have no idea."Then, she sighed and turned to glance at Sean. "Do you want to come with us to Joshua's place, or do you want to go home?"Even though
"I'll do as you say.""I'll drive you guys." Theo, who had initially wanted to leave, immediately got into the car. "Bonnie and I will return to Joshua's house as soon as we drop you off at your place, Sean."Sean glanced at Theo and nodded. "Thank you."The three of them got into the car.Sean's house was located in a secluded part of town, so far away from the city that Bonnie could not help thinking that this place would be a perfect spot to film a horror film.The night was silent apart from the faint chirping of birds and rustling of leaves. Finally, with Sean's directions, they arrived at his house, and Theo parked the car.The smell of rot and mold enveloped them as soon as they opened the door. Bonnie and Theo furrowed their brows in disgust.Bonnie immediately pinched her nose. "How can you live in a place like this, Sean?"Besides, did Sean not say that his sister was ill? If so, how was she supposed to get better when she lived in a place like this?Sean scratched h
The lighting in the house was dim, but Bonnie could make out that there were plenty of pictures hanging on the wall.All of the photos had Lucy in them.There were images of her with a younger Sean and some of her and a girl with pigtails.Bonnie recognized the girl as Sean's sister, Nikki.The photos on the wall were arranged according to chronological order, all the way from Sean's childhood to his pubescent years.The last picture was one of Lucy, Sean, and Nikki. In the photo, Sean looked about 14 or 15 years old, whereas Nikki looked about 10.Bonnie felt her blood run cold.How could this be?Did Lucy not die more than 20 years ago? Why did she appear in the photos with Sean, who, in the most recent one, appeared to be in his teenage years?Sean was only 20 years old at present, which meant that…Lucy had still been alive at least six years ago!Could it be that this was not Lucy at all, and instead, someone who looked identical to her?As soon as she thought of this,
