Nikki scowled at Bonnie. "Tell me; which part of that was a lie? The fact is, you're trying to steal my brother away from me, Bonnie!"Nikki, who was already dressed, stood up and stared at a pale-faced Bonnie from her great height. "Let me tell you this, Ms. Craig, Sean belongs to me and only me!"From the first time we met, I've already told you that he's not my real brother. Even though the two of us grew up together and claimed to be siblings, he and I aren't blood-related at all!"I thought that as a woman, you'd be able to understand what I was trying to say about me and my brother's relationship!"I don't know if it's because you're too dumb to understand what I meant, or if you were deliberately ignoring me so that you can steal my brother away from me!"No matter what, Bonnie, my brother still cares about me more than you. After choosing to save you over me, he's guilt-ridden by his actions, so you'd better give up right now!"Kneeling on the floor, Bonnie could feel the
"I'm fine…" Bonnie slumped against Sean and said weakly, "I just need to rest for a while. You should take care of Nikki…"With that, she propped herself up, trying to stand.However, she had overestimated her strength.Not only did she fail to get up, but because of the gravity, her body quivered and slumped back into Sean's arms.Sean managed to grab hold of her once more. "Stop trying to push yourself. You were unconscious when I brought you to the hospital just now, so I know how your condition is now!"Then, he let out a sigh of regret and added, "I shouldn't have let you come in to see her!"A surge of emotions spread through Nikki's heart at the sound of Sean's concerned voice. She bit her lip, staring at Sean as he carried Bonnie to the door, and suddenly felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.Just as Sean was about to reach the door, Nikki chased after him and grabbed his arm. "Sean! Why do you only care about Bonnie? What about me? I'm your sister, a
It was all Bonnie's fault!Nikki glared in Bonnie's direction.One day, she would take Sean back, no matter what it took!…"Put me down," said Bonnie as soon as Sean walked out of the room.Sean furrowed his brows, a displeased look on his face. "Do you think you'll be able to walk if I put you down now?"Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. "What if I can?"Sean shot her a helpless glance, then carried her into an empty ward and said, "You wait here; I'm going to find you a doctor."Bonnie sighed. "You should go back to Nikki after this. She…needs you right now."Sean furrowed his brows once more upon hearing this. "I think you're the one who needs me more."Bonnie let out a bitter chuckle. "I have Luna…""She's gone." Sean shrugged and explained, "I don't know what happened, but she took a call and left the hospital after getting into an argument with whoever was on the other end. I don't know where she went."He stroked Bonnie's hair gently and added, "So you need me mo
Jim, dressed entirely in black, stood at the door, staring at Bonnie and everyone else with a gaze as cold as ice.When he saw Bonnie looking at him, he curled his lips into a smirk and slowly walked over to her. "Ms. Craig's heart already belongs to someone else, and she was just putting on an act with Mr. Wheeler just now."Then, he stared at Bonnie from his great height, his gaze so cold that she could not help shuddering. "Am I right, Ms. Bonnie Craig, future heiress of the Landry family?"Bonnie furrowed her brows upon hearing this, then narrowed her eyes at him. "Who are you talking about, future heiress of the Landry family?"She had never agreed to marry Jim at all, despite this being Charles and Rosalyn's wishes."You, of course." Jim strode over, tilted Bonnie's chin up, and forced her to stare straight into his eyes. "Haven't you been playing hard to get with me all this while Bonnie? You've been trying all sorts of ways to get me to marry you, right? Isn't that what yo
"So, Bonnie, I won't marry you, no matter how hard you try to make that happen. I'll never marry you out of responsibility, and I believe this is only fair to you and me.""Alright." Bonnie curled her lips into a contemptuous smirk. "I understand, Mr. Landry, but I still have to remind you—"She let out an exhale and continued impassively, "Firstly, the people who have requested you to go through with your promise are your parents, not me. Prior to this, I had never met them at all, and thus, I would never have been able to plot this."Secondly…"She chuckled, fixing her smiling gaze on Jim's handsome face, and added, "Sean and I are dating now, and from the moment I agreed to be his girlfriend, I've already given up pursuing you, Mr. Landry."Therefore, you should stop being so arrogant and think that I'm still in love with you."Then, she turned to glance at the nurse, who was stunned by this entire exchange. "Didn't you ask me whether my boyfriend is good in bed? Well, I'll te
When he saw how much Sean treasured Bonnie as though she was some rare valuable, Jim's expression darkened, and a hint of frustration surged through his heart.He furrowed his brows and shot Sean a cold, disapproving glance. "I wonder…what crime of mine are you going to expose to the world if I don't stay away from Bonnie?"Sean narrowed his eyes and lifted his head to stare at Jim. "How about the fact that you almost murdered someone?"As he said this, he glanced at Bonnie, whom he held gingerly in his arms, and said tenderly, "She kept calling for help while she was trapped in the car, and I know for a fact that I wasn't the first person she called; you were."However, you never took notice of her calls for help at all, and by the time I reached her, she was barely holding on. The doctor said that if I had arrived even a minute later, she wouldn't have survived!"He lifted his head to glare at Jim. "I know you don't love her, and no matter what she does, you think she's doing it
"Bonnie, I don't wish to get in the way of your happiness, but…"He glanced at Sean who, at this moment, was furious, and added impassively, "It's incredibly irresponsible of you to take such a young, handsome man as your rebound."Bonnie pursed her lips.She knew and had already thought of the things Jim was saying, even before he mentioned it.However, it was one thing for her to think this and another thing entirely for Jim to bring it up in front of Sean."I'm willing to be her rebound," Sean said curtly.He stared coldly at Jim and continued, "Not only am I willing to become her rebound, but I welcome it more than anything in the world. Even if she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with me, I'm willing to take care of her during our time together."With that, he curled his lips into a smirk. "Is there anything else you'd like to say, Mr. Landry?"Sean's words made Jim swallow everything he wanted to say.He fell silent for a moment, then turned and stomped out of
Bonnie stared dazedly at the man kneeling before her.Sean's eyes were glossed with earnestness, as though every single word out of his mouth came after careful consideration.Maybe other women would feel nothing but happiness when a young, handsome, and responsible man said something like this to them, but at this moment, all Bonnie felt was guilt, helplessness, and fear.She was guilty because she knew she should not have dragged Sean into the drama between her and Jim, and she should not have given him the wrong impression.She felt helpless because no matter how well Sean treated her, she knew she would never be able to fall for anyone else apart from Jim.Finally, she was scared.She was scared that Sean would never be able to move on from her.If that happened, it would only add to her guilt and regret toward him."Bonnie." Sean curled his lips into a bitter smile when he saw Bonnie staring at him in silence. "You don't want to be with me, do you?"I can tell that the on
